WNBA FINALS: MONARCHS v SUN

September 19, 2005

Asjha Jones

ASJHA JONES: The reason? I don't know. I don't think it's really a bench/starter thing, it's more like what we do as a team. For me, I don't know, I guess I'm just used to people just like leaving me, totally and not really being too concerned of what I'm doing. But I've been playing well all summer, so people have been paying me more attention. I think I just need to play.

ASJHA JONES: Maybe. Just the whole -- just I think we have been doing a lot of standing, or I have been doing a lot of standing. People try to move. We score points when we're moving around. But when we're not, you can see we're standing around. I don't know if it's like just more of a bench/starter thing, I don't think so. I can come off the bench, but as long as I'm moving or whatever, then as a team we'll be a lot more successful.

ASJHA JONES: No, I think we just got after it. I think we just decided to, you know, like, "Let's go. Pick it up." People have ups and downs in a game. It's a game of runs. And we made ours and we just couldn't quite get over the little hump at the end.

ASJHA JONES: Well, we play with energy, but sometimes we just don't do the things that we need to do to get enough points on the boards. But no matter what, we're going to come out with energy, and we just have to play a little smarter game.
