I look at how we got beat and I thought the hustle points and the energy points were all gauged through offensive rebounds. I thought in the second half they got so many second-chance opportunities they could really run. It just seemed like they were going up our guys' backs. When you don't get any offensive rebounds and they start going the other team's way, it's almost like a snowball effect.

Most teams have one All-Star, whether that guy made it this year or earlier in his career, and some teams have two All-Stars. What theyre showing is that a group of five guys that play together and play hard will always beat a team with two All-Stars and three average players.

My nature is to keep things inside. In time, I'll be comfortable stepping up when I think the team could use my input.

A tough woman. That lady has touched more people than I've ever known.

It comes down to consistency-if you want to be a great shooter, you have to shoot the same way every time.

Minnesota's a great city.

God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot.
