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.
definitely helps
It definitely helps us to have a lot of ball-handlers out there.
definitely focus forget game good honestly missed talk time
We talk about it and we actually did it this time. When a player's out, you have to kind of forget about her in a way, you have to focus on who can play and go into the game with those players. But now that Betty's back I can definitely say honestly that we definitely missed her, and it was good to see her play the way she did, especially on her first time out.
backs break die game gotta home hopefully huge jump locker saying successful
What you gotta think about is what they're saying in their locker room. They need to jump on us. On our home court, they know how successful we are there and they know how huge the game is. It's do or die for them. It's even more important for us to come out and hopefully break their backs in the first 10 minutes.
games higher rather seed
Every higher seed has to do it. I'd rather play the two games at home.
great pain players seemed
She never seemed like she was in pain. That's what great players do.
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.
against attacking betty good team
She's all go. Especially against a team like Sacramento, Betty is just really good at attacking the basket.
defense feeling worst
This is the worst feeling I ever had, ... They jumped on us. Our defense was so bad. I don't even know what happened.
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.
court home hopefully momentum position win
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.
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.
champions defending last looking team thinking year
I haven't thought about last year at all. We've had to play as the defending champions all year and I don't think any team is going to be looking at us thinking that.
attempt country experience foreign grateful learn living
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.
