Lindsay Whalen Quotations

We knew Detroit was in our path and we didn't care how we did it. We just wanted to go out, play hard and get the job done.

It felt like a track meet. I was getting a little winded out there. I just wanted to stay aggressive, stay in the middle and create things that way.

There's no timetable. I'm just going to try to rehab as best I can and come back in good shape. The one thing I have going for me is I've played two years with the players on this team. We have a real good rapport, so it's not like I'm getting to know eight new players.

That's funny, ... That's a pretty creative way of putting it into words, actually, because that's what it probably looks like when I'm running around out there with the ball.

Any time your country calls on you to help represent them, it's a great honor. I know he's happy about it and we're all happy and proud that we have someone representing our team.

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.

You earn victories like this just by sticking with it and digging down,

It's not going to get any better until I stop playing,

Last year we were 18-16, and the playoffs start, and the next thing you know, we're in the finals. Pretty cool. This year, we expected to win.

We are definitely confident in every one on the team, and are excited about the chance to win the finals.
