Answer:
I do thank you all for participating in the ABL Chat. I had a great time. It was fun -- And I'll see you at some games!

Answer:
The San Jose game -- I mean that game I just couldn't miss. My jump shot was flowing and it was a great confidence booster for me. But for the team it wasn't so great because we lost that game by a fairly large amount. (I'm part of that team.) I do think I'm playing better this year because I'm stronger and I can get in there and bang better. I hope to do the same thing next summer and get that much better.

Answer:
Jess wonderful discussions before and after practice. She inspires the team to do our best. I think she pushes us as well as Coach H. They both push us to put our full potential out -- and she also dresses very nice from her head to her toes.

Answer:
Well, off days I usually do things that need to be done. I go to clubs sometimes and basically hang out and play my play station.

Answer:
First, thank you. And besides getting Crystal back, we just need to get everybody healthy and back together again so we can develop a rhythm.

Answer:
I'd love to be a coach. probably not on the professional level -- maybe college or high school or even little kids.

Answer:
Well, we're gettin closer. The last game we lost by 2. I think that's a game that we gave away. That's a game that showed us we are a really good team and we can beat Columbus and beat any team in the ABL.

Answer:
I'd be happy -- I think Chamique is a great college player.

Answer:
R&B is my favorite -- and Boys to Men -- My theme song would be Hakuna Matata -- that's the song they play for me when I come into the game!

Answer:
Yeah, there is a reason -- I'm not tall enough -- just kidding...I think it's just another aspect of my game. There's a lot more athletitism in the professional game. Going up against people like Natalie Williams and Taj McWilliams puts a lot of competition in there.

Answer:
Well, I'd like to see Chamique HOldsclaw, but how likely that would be, I don't know. That would be a great addition to our team. I have a story about her. At the Olympic festival in my sophomore year in college, we were sitting next to each other on the bench, and she said "I hope I do well," so I was giving her a pep talk (I didn't know who she was) and she drove to the basket really hard and broke my ankles. Later on the coach had to tell me who she was.

Answer:
I think Linda has been a great addition because she brings a new quality to the team. I think she's a great coach who has good strategies. And she dresses really well.

Answer:
I party all the time -- just kidding...I think Colorado is full of a lot of opportunities for athletes. They have the mountains that you can have access to or you can stay home. I like to ski -- 24/7 -- just kidding. Practices? Who practices??

Answer:
They've been playing together for 3 years. They know what another person on the court is going to do before they do it. They have a great team. Lots of teams have great individuals, but you can't beat a great team with individuals.

Answer:
I like the team. Not that I didn't like the team last year, but we're more together. We stick by each other better, and I believe our chemistry and consistency is going to come.

Answer:
I think 29 in the ABL, and I believe 32 in college.

Answer:
Oh, most definitely. I think we'll have Crystal back and healthy in about a week or so. Alisa's ankle is getting better. I think a lot of teams peaked early. When we start playing the way we know we can play, we'll have a tremendous impact on the rest of the season.

Answer:
I mean I think that we were hit with a lot of injuries early on, and when we all get healthy that will make for a stronger team. With Crystal injured, others like me and Keisha have had to step up, and that has made our game stronger, so we can all contribute more. I think things will improve when everyone is healthy and playing together.

Answer:
Over the summer I worked really hard on my game. I worked on my strength bigtime and getting quicker on my feet and so forth, so I'm getting more of a chance this year to display my abilities.

Answer:
I think they're very different. I like New Jersey a lot, and I love Denver. I don't know where I'll live in the future, but both places present an opportunity as a place to live. I love the mountains and the oceans in New Jersey and the environment I grew up in.

Answer:
I think that just displayed the type of season we've been having. At home we played them really good. We haven't put together a whole game yet. We're on a roller coaster ride. We're trying to keep practice consistent to achieve the concentration it takes to beat a team like San Jose.

Answer:
Debbie does come to every game and every practice with a lot of energy. I think she gets us out of a lot of slumps. Every team needs a player like Debbie Black with that kind of energy.

Answer:
Yes -- that was Seattle, by the way -- who's streak we broke. Yes -- Tari is one of our marquee players and she's playing very well. We all have to play well together to win. We do want to break San Jose's streak, though.

Answer:
I'm getting dressed for a party that we're having with the team. And I'm getting ready to play San Jose Friday.

This whole deal was originally done by Medius Interactive and the American Basketball League, but I saved what you're seeing here before it vanished forever. (Since I was a season ticket holder, I feel they owe me something). Think of me as an historian. Future generations of young girls need to know what could have been.
