This is not something that we wanted, ... We dug ourselves into a pretty big hole, but we came back. But we really couldn't ever get into any kind of flow. I think we were more concerned tonight with what they were going to do and that really hurt us tonight.
For whatever reason, we can't put two halves together, ... We dug ourselves a hole in the first half and came back in the second half a completely different team.
I'm sure none of the fans did. And in all honesty, I think the only people who thought we could go to Seattle and win two games were the players. I'm not really sure that all of our coaching staff thought so.
I never really meant for it to happen, ... It did, and after a while it got to a point, I am not going to try to fight this anymore.
I want this club to be a place that will be comfortable for women in particular. So many clubs have a younger crowd, and I want my club to be where mature, professional women can meet up with friends, relax and enjoy themselves.
She'll probably never accept it. But she's dealing with it.
At times, I thought we were unstoppable. If you'd told me it would be this kind of game, I wouldn't believe you. I thought it was going to be more of a battle. Today, I can honestly say that we wanted it more than they did.
We're talking about women's professional basketball here. We're still new at this. A lot of times people forget the NBA was once where we are now. We've got to go beyond the true diehard women's professional-sports fan.
We knew it was do or die, and I told everybody before the game that I don't want to go home. Tonight we came out ready to play. We got our transition on early and think that was the key today.
Every practice and every game that we have, Tina is getting better and better and better,
I don't want to have to hide from the world anymore.
I'm finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.
To be honest, I think a lot of teams right now are questioning, 'Can we beat them? How good are they?'
This one is probably the most special to me, for the simple fact that no one really expected the Comets to do what we did this year,
