I understand that this is a great example of Mr. Alexander's trust in me,
The victory was right in front of our face. If we could have gotten one or two more rebounds, it would have been in our pocket.
Everybody knows he's a super scorer, ... Also, he's a great passer. He had some turnovers tonight, but in a few games, those turnovers will turn into assists.
The talk has got to change, ... We need to do it for ourselves -- talk the talk and walk the walk.
We?re all basketball players, and were all out there on the court, ... We all live together on this earth.
We didn't end the game well. We were ahead by nine points with about three minutes left and then we didn't handle the ball well against the full court press. It became (a close) game. We have to know our opponent's strength.
Her talent and poise is what's very compelling for companies. Her ethnicity is icing on the cake.
I don't think I can play in the National Games. My contract (with the Rockets) d oesn't allow me though I really want to play (in the Games).
Maybe it's the best thing for me and when I come back I'll be stronger.
I have Mr. Alexander's trust and the chance to play in Houston,
For me, it's a breath of fresh air when we make a couple of shots from the outside. That takes a lot of pressure off me and my game. Before we make some shots, everything has to go inside and it's just too crowded. When our guards make some outside shots, we're able to move some stuff around better.
It was like if I didn't keep reminding myself, I'd make mistakes.
It was a very big win for us, not because it was four wins in a row, but it was mentally tough. We struggled, but I knew we could get back in this game.
Usually I like going to the paint because I could get close shots, or physical contact and get a foul. Today, they didn't call it so I was afraid to go inside.
