The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen.
There's always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that's pretty good. You want players that will help.
But as coaches, we need to get a little more fire and passion and be more demanding that our guys get the job done. I think players will respond to that, and we'll see.
We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else.
We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.
I think today the players are too nice to one another, but that might change with the unbalanced schedule, with teams playing each other more and more. When you face each other that much, with that much at stake, something's bound to happen.
Maybe someone will step up, but they don't have anyone right now.
I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.
We've got to do better at taking care of players and making sure the fans get the best of the players when they're showcasing their abilities.
We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their fundamentals the best.
