It's been a combination of talent and good coaching. Their guard play has been better for them, and they always play good strong defense. They're just awfully talented and strong. I didn't think they would win 10 in a row, but I knew they would end up as one of the top teams in our league.

There's not been this doom and gloom over the top of our heads. I think our team has been supported well by our base of fans out there. I just don't feel bad about what we're doing right now. The topic your talking about remains and has been dormant. It's just not something we concentrate on.
