beginning couple last lose row time trying understand year
There's no real panic. It's just trying to understand what we weren't doing right the last couple of games. Any time you lose two in a row in that fashion, there's got to be some concern, but we know what we need to do. It's not like the beginning of the year when we were searching.

We've just got to keep plugging away. We're trying to be too fancy at times, passing up some shots that we should be taking.

We had a good road trip there a couple weeks back. But that next trip was not what we wanted.

We focused in and wanted to finish strong in the last 10, 11 games. We'll see what happens. Things still have to happen for us to get the title. We just need to take care of what we need to take care of.
