24 Quotes by Brian Winters

She's just feeling a little healthier and getting in a little bit better condition.

She has the ability to step her game up in big games. She did that last year in Seattle when Sue Bird went out. She showed how good she was. When Sue couldn't play with her broken nose, she came in and played extremely well.

She gave us a tremendous, gutsy performance in being extremely sore and not being able to pick one arm up.

If we can improve next year and continue to move ahead, we can get back here again and get a chance to win a series like this and get to the WNBA Finals.

We lost six seniors from last year's team that won 20 games, and that hurt us in the early part of the season. We played our hearts out, but we came out on the short end.

I thought we played with a tremendous amount of grit and intensity. We were disappointed in the loss in L.A. (69-59 to the Sparks on Saturday), but we rebounded very well and really had a great team win.

I said before the draft that we have a pretty veteran and deep team. But I like the four we've chosen. Now it's a matter of getting them in here and seeing what they can do.

Nat (Natalie Williams) gave us a great game, and we got excellent contributions from our bench. And, of course, Tamika (Catchings) had a typical all-around game. And Kelly (Miller) was huge in the final minute.

We got away from having so many random offensive situations. We got a little better executing our plays. Against New York, I thought we got great shots against their zone, and they just didn't go in.
