Lindsay Whalen Team Quotations

I missed (Game 2) and probably didn't play at full health at any time in the series. But at the same time, not to take anything away from them, they beat us. I don't like to make a whole lot of excuses for the team or for myself. I'm not going to pin the whole series on my leg.

You just run up and down the court, play really hard and be unselfish. Those are the three things that our team takes a lot of pride in. They've gotten us to the finals.

Besides, it's all about the team. If you get too caught up in your own individual awards, it takes away from your focus and it takes away from being a part of the team. Always put the team first. That's what my dad always taught me. Share the credit. Take the blame. That's how you have to be.

Any time you are injured and can't play the way you want to play, it is frustrating. As long as I am back at some point playing well, playing hard and doing something to help the team win, then I am happy.
