creative looks putting running
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.

Jen has played two years, and she's played great against Sacramento,
running
It could be worse, ... I'm already kind of running around and jumping. They kind of said to me, 'Just see how you feel.'
aggressive choose feeling huge pick spots
There is a huge sense of urgency. We see that. Personally, I'm feeling okay. I just have to be more aggressive and pick and choose my spots a little better.
conscious exactly game horrible played ran rest second swollen
I ran the rest of the game, ... It's just a little swollen and a little stiff. It's not painful. It's not horrible pain. Obviously, I played with it in the second half. I was conscious of it, so I could feel something wasn't exactly right. I just played through it. After the game there was some swelling, and then (Sunday and Monday) there was a little more swelling.
calls country great happy help proud represent time
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.

I'm trying to get used to playing with it. And not playing four days, I kind of got out of rhythm a little bit.

I need to take care of my body. I feel better after I have a good meal.

I could go out there and walk around, but I wouldn't be able to play at the pace we want to play.

I'm glad she's coming back. It's been great playing with her the last two years.

I kind of knew there was something more than just a bruise when it happened, I just wasn?t sure,
beat excuses full health missed pin series team time
I missed (Game 2) and probably didn't play at full health at any time in the series. But at the same time, not to take anything away from them, they beat us. I don't like to make a whole lot of excuses for the team or for myself. I'm not going to pin the whole series on my leg.
