Oh goody, now the crowds will come in. I will also be able to sleep knowing this.

She was just here for a wedding, wouldn't get your hopes up.
She hasn't been released from her Turkish team. Most European team do get a decent xmas break.
DT3 would be here visiting a very close friend/teammate of hers who now plays in Melbourne.
Wright wouldn't play her over his daughter in law anyway.
Imagine rocking up at training, you're (one of) the best female players on the planet..."Hey Mark, my American friend wants to train with us today..." and it's Taurasi.
You guys are aware that Taurasi & Penny Taylor are a couple, right? And have been for years?
Shout out to my TLC sisters ;)
Wow! Wonder how LJ feels about Penny taking her Ex-gf? Would sure make for an interesting opals camp in the future
Yeah LJ & Penny dealt with that a long time ago. Things aren't nearly as frosty nowadays.

Don't panic folks. I'm still alive and well.
It's great that Taurasi is down under. I wonder if the Dandenong Rangers game is the ABC televised one this round? Would be great for Rachael Sporn to snag a DT interview at half time!

Rangers don't play till after new year, any trainings will be closed sessions so no ones going to be seeing her train, which I very much doubt she will anyway. Kath McLeod just got married yesterday so can't see any trainings even happening

Is PT and DT a item or have I been under a rock somewhere.
They're an item...but they put their careers first...so you haven't been under a rock... happy new year!

Does anyone care? I think as many "care" about Penny and Diana as cared about Penny and Rodrigo. Why we would we "care" any more or less?
He would be her ex husband that she divorced after her and Taurasi were having fun on the side...... (Whilst LJ was also seeing Taurasi!!) Young and the restless :)
Hence the rift b/w LJ and PT...because LJ was with DT and now PT is with DT and it's all confusing but basically it ruined the Opals.

Good luck to the coach of the Opals dealing with that mess...
So pt was married or dating Rodrigo and having an affair with dt. But dt already was in a relationship with Lj? Now pt and dt are together? And Lj is currently alone?
It did not ruin the Opals at all. The players have had their personal differences at times but at the same time it never got to the point that they weren't professional about it on the court or at training.
Carrie Graf ruined the Opals all by herself. No other bickering was required.
Taylor's father passed, that's prob why Taurasi is (was?) in town.
She was coming anyway, to see her girl over the short break. PT's father was a gentleman...he waited to pass until DT could be there for PT.
Is she still here or did she go back to Russia?
