Forcing Quotes
You've got to be careful. Forcing things doesn't really solve the problem. You've got to let the game come to you and shoot in the flow of the offense.
- Chris Lofton
You turn on the film and the No. 1 player you're going to game-plan around is Brian Calhoun. He's the No. 1 player that we game-plan around (offensively). So, conversely, as a defensive coach, you're going to spend a lot of energy in trying to contain, throttle, and frustrate Calhoun, while forcing other players to beat you. If I'm coaching against us, the first thing I'm going to do is figure out a way to contain Brian because he can change a game, and change it fast.

You might get a guy with his head down and it's his own fault that he gets knocked out cold. You want to go out and stick up for him, especially if it's done by a tough guy on their team and it's done against a skill guy on your team. You're going to want to go make a statement to that guy, but at the same time, you can't go forcing a fight on a clean hit when that's part of the game.

You could see the difference when we actually set screens, made the right cuts, doing the things we need to do. Tonight, that didn't happen. We were standing around and we didn't make them guard us. But they did a great defensive job, sticking to their script, forcing us into difficult shots and turnovers.
- Seimone Augustus
You can play defense as long as you are aggressive and forcing, and I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game and not so much in the second. We had a lot of penalties, and I think that kind of reared its head in the third period because we looked a little tired. We fell behind 2-0, and a lot of that we did on our own, and we have to correct that to even the series on Thursday.
