What people are saying
I think we go off the rails at certain points of the game. I don't know if it's experience, pressure, I don't know.
it's not the time to panic because of a bad stretch.
Of course, if we don't figure this out soon, we'll be chasing and it's going to be too late. But yeah, there's no quitting.
We have a lot of talent, but we can't skill ourselves out of it. We're going to have to work and grind and it starts the next practice. We better figure it out.
