It`s definitely a surreal feeling. There are a lot of teams in the WNBA that just said, `Whew, Seattle lost!` '“ I can tell you that much. That`s what makes this hurt '“ we had an opportunity to do some great things and defend our title but we didn`t.
- Sue BirdThat first handoff, it was like, whew, the sky`s the limit. At the time, you couldn`t have told me we weren`t looking at 2,000 yards. But things happen. That keeps you humble and keeps you hungry. It lets you know you can`t get the big head. I`d like to think that our struggles last year, being 6-10, made us all better.
- Clinton PortisWhew that was some work out there. ... We took a gamble tonight. I have raced here 4 times here this year before tonight and all 4 nights the track got slick. So we decided to go with our 360 tonight and use the less horsepower to our advantage. It figures the track would be heavy. We gave em a good run though and we feel real good about our finish. Next weekend barring any unforeseen problems we should win the VRA/Bandit Sprints Grand Slam. No worries!
