defend definitely great hurt opportunity seattle surreal teams title wnba
It's definitely a surreal feeling. There are a lot of teams in the WNBA that just said, 'Whew, Seattle lost!' I can tell you that much. That's what makes this hurt we had an opportunity to do some great things and defend our title but we didn't.
ability best brings doubt everybody great separates teams
I just think what separates him is his ability to really get the most out of his players, out of his teams. Obviously, he's had some great teams and some great players. There's no doubt about that, but it's more than that. It's the way he brings out his best and that's really what separates him, I think, from everybody else.

In general, living in a foreign country has been amazing. To experience a new culture, attempt to learn a new language, try new foods. It's something I'll always be grateful for.
It's not a matchup between Izzy and Sheryl,
aside comforting injuries pain themselves win
It's comforting to know that they would put their injuries aside, put the pain aside and still want to go out and win it for themselves and for the team. For them to be able to play the way that they have, it kind of makes you proud.

anne carrying coaches coaching head minority women
This is a women's league. It's important to have coaches like Anne trailblazing away. ... Women are in the minority for head coaching positions. Anne is kind of the one carrying the load.

This is huge, especially because we're in a position to get a home court in the playoffs. It was not only a win, but a win on the road. Hopefully we can take this momentum to Houston.
bit bother care moved taken
If we could have just taken care of business, we could have moved on. I'm just going to let this one bother me a little bit more.
cities hire maybe scared women won
She won the first title. She got to 100 first. Maybe GMs in other cities will see what Anne's done and they won't be ? I don't want to say scared ? but they'll want to hire women coaches.

She's all go. Especially against a team like Sacramento, Betty is just really good at attacking the basket.

She never seemed like she was in pain. That's what great players do.
control nice
It's kind of nice to control our own destiny, and then did.
everybody fresh games people playoffs proud slate start win wiped work
It's a different group, (and) something a lot of people didn't think we could do. It's pretty amazing. We're pretty proud of it, and we also know that our work is not done. At this point, everybody is 0-0. The slate has been wiped clean. Playoffs are a fresh start and you have to win two games out of three.
