looking looks
I wanted to be more of a table-setter in this game, but if I had the looks I was going to take them. I'm a shooter. I'm always looking for my shot.
franchise game playing
It was their first game without her (Smith), we didn't want to underestimate them. She was a franchise player, I don't know what that would feel like not playing with someone like that all of a sudden.
ball dreamed game hands last nice threw winning
I threw the ball away in the last two minutes, so it was nice to have it in my hands afterward. I've always dreamed of winning a title, and I have the ball in my hands when the game ends.
certain level opportunity teams win
There is a certain level of satisfaction (getting to the finals), to be one of the two teams left. We're here and now we have the opportunity to win a championship.
came felt good nervous run second
We came out nervous in the first half, we were hesitant, we weren't aggressive. We felt like we had a good run in us for the second half.
defending excited matching seattle seen team time
We hadn't seen Seattle in a long time and they are the defending champs, the team with the title. We were excited about matching up with them to see what we could do.
complement learn maintain perfect stay workout
This to me is a perfect complement to playing. It allows me to still maintain my workout regimen, stay competitive and learn more about basketball.
certainly expect fall game games hope laid left looking saying toughest trap win
We're looking at this as a must-win. We're looking at this as the only game left and we certainly hope it's the only game left. We don't want to fall into the trap of saying you've got two to win one. ... We know they didn't win 26 games because they laid down and quit, or because they laid down and died. So I expect it to be, if we are to win, our toughest win of the season.
