Quote of the Day: Mechelle Voepel
From a livechat. She was asked what Phoenix needs to do to win another championship next year:
"There are those who might suggest they look for another ballhandler/point guard. I don't know if they will do that. They need Penny Taylor to be healthy, and I really don't think she was through the playoffs. The Mercury followed the 2007 championship with a down season, then came back and won in 2009, then had another "down" season this year, though they made the playoffs. Maybe the mindset will be different next year. The reason that I find this such a hard question to answer is that they had most of the pieces this year, although of course they missed Cappie. Heck, maybe what the Mercury MOST needs in 2011 is for the Storm to not play as well. Seattle accounted for seven of their losses."
