On her way to a preseason game in Baton Rouge, Seimone opens up about last year's crappy Lynx season.

Augustus: "It almost got to the point where I wanted to quit... Everyone was stressed and depressed. We wanted to get in and get out of here...

"I understood as a professional athlete that we weren't going to win every game, we were going to go through some bumps and bruises. But I didn't expect it to be a landslide of negative things."

In another interview, the '06 Rookie of the Year talks about Russia, praises Minneapolis, and prepares hometown fans for this weekend's match.

"The Seimone they saw in college is different from the one in the pro leagues," she says. "I’m maybe more of a passer. But we’ll come down and put on a good show."
