decades-long policy of harassing players whom (she) believed to be lesbians.
Sacramento is playing very well right now, they are hungry for a championship, ... It's probably because I'm in the Western Conference, but I think they will win it all.
Sacramento is playing really well right now and with a little bit of cockiness,
Right now we're playing very good basketball, ... I think we're playing good individually, and as a team we're playing some incredible basketball.
I got in a rhythm in the second half and everything seemed like it was going well,
Of all my awards, this is probably the most special to me, ... Nobody expected the Comets to do anything this year. The only thing that would make it better is if I was in Houston right now, preparing for Game 3.
Nicole's an incredible player, ... I don't really think it surprised us that she hit it. She was actually behind the NBA 3-point line, and Tina (Thompson) was out there, had her hand up.
So I was disappointed because I only had one assist in the second half, I should've had more than that. But I think (the triple double) is a great accomplishment, just to kind of go along with all the success I've had this season, all the success that we've had.
She is still one of our prominent players, and she's a great player. We would like Sheryl to be happy.
It reminded me a lot of Game 1. They got out to an eight-, 10-point lead, and then we fought back. Game 1, we just couldn't get over the hump. ... (Tonight) everyone was just really determined.
It's not something that I want to throw in people's faces. I'm just at a point in my life where I'm tired of having to pretend to be somebody I'm not. I'm tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about. About the person I love.
Do I think I was born this way? No, ... And that's probably confusing to some, because I know a lot of people believe that you are.
Do I think I was born this way? No,
And I just think right now, we're clicking (on) all cylinders offensively, defensively; we're moving the ball, we're making other teams have to work on defense. And when you're playing basketball like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat.
