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.
We really focused on trying to slow her down a little bit and making somebody else do something to beat us. The game plan we had, defensively especially, really worked.
Somebody said to me, 'Well, you went in at halftime and you had nine assists, and you only finished with 10,'
I was at a point in my life where I am just tired of having to pretend to be somebody I am not. I was basically living a lie. For the last seven, eight years, I was basically waiting to exhale.
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.
