We had a bad offensive game. We had a lot of good open looks and we didn’t make them. We had really good open shots and it’s normally the strength of our team, but when...

The experience she gained should be invaluable to her continued growth and contribution to our team. In reality, compared to American players, she would just be finishing her college career.

We’re obviously excited to get that done. She’s been a huge part of what we’ve done. That’s a major step for us to get our pieces put together to keep the core of the team.

The reality is that the NBA was in worse shape in the ’70s and early ’80s. People have convenient memories.

I’m more impressed with some of the defensive plays we made, steals, tips in the lane, rebounds in traffic. I thought they all stepped up and did that.

Once we made that first run, they weren’t able to match it.

We were sitting in the Seattle locker room after we lost, … and we knew that with two more wins, we would have had the game on our court. I think it was an eye-opener....

Jim’s NBA career was all about determination. No one studied the game more. He had notebooks on every single player he ever faced. I bet he still has them.

She is at that level [of Taurasi]. We’re playing and they’re not. I don’t mean that as a slap. Lindsay’s role is different than Taurasi’s at Phoenix. Taurasi has to handle the load of point...

I guess I’m not much of a prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series today, and we played our worst. They’re disruptive (defensively), but by this point in the...

She can post up and shoot the three, she’s a good passer, maybe a little bit more aggressive offensively than Brooke was sometimes, defensively. She’s a smart defensive player, but I don’t think she has...

I thought we had some, I would say, not crisp or efficient possessions in the second half. [The Fever] make you play that way, too. They jump out and switch. But it makes them spend...

I told them don’t toss it [the ball] to the other team, toss it to the guys in the blue jerseys.

We’re excited to finally have Erin with us. I think she is one of the best young point guards in the world. This signing will give us the opportunity to play both her and Lindsay...

We have a very persistent persevering team here, but we didn’t make shots when we needed to tonight. They have what we wanted. And it’s hard to take.

They only scored 24 points from their halfcourt offense (Sunday). It’s that simple. Their initial offense didn’t do much. Getting a second shot, turning us over, that’s a lot of points. If you say that...
