focusing good improvement next spent step stretch time tried winning work
Our next step of improvement is to play a 20-game stretch where we go .500. If you play .500 for 20 games, that's a pretty good cross-section of the schedule. We haven't spent a lot of time focusing on those things. We've tried to get better and improve and work on our systems. Winning will be a byproduct of that.

answer create deal finished game gloves injured looked occupy problems time took
He finished the game and looked like he had no problem. When he took his gloves off, it didn't look like he was all bandaged up or anything. My answer always is: If he's injured and can't play, I'll deal with it. If not, I don't want to occupy my time with things that haven't happened. I don't want to create problems for myself.
against beat career decision difficult extremely family hard played respect situation sure
He made a difficult situation very easy. He played extremely hard every game. He's made a decision for his family and his career and we respect that. We just want to make sure that when we play against him, that we beat him.

That caught me off guard a little bit. We're still waiting to get him better so he can play. It's been a long time; he's week-to-week.
