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.
I want to thank everybody out there who voted for me and who did believe in me. Because I felt all along that I still could compete with the best of them out there.
But I think everybody is confident enough to know that if we go down there Saturday and not have 20 turnovers like we did tonight, we have a pretty good shot at winning,
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.
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,
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,
We really wanted this game. We knew we had to come here and win two.
We have a lot of experience and veterans on this team. As a team we are playing incredible basketball.
That was a point in my career when I was just very frustrated and said, 'Well maybe I don't need to do this anymore,' ... And I asked him (Jordan), I said, 'Son, do you want mom to retire?' And he said, 'No, mom, no, mom. You're still very good. I want to go watch. I love the WNBA.'
