He is still being pretty optimistic for 2007.

I think tonight we weren't sharp at all. I think pretty much every guy on the field passed the ball out of bounds tonight. I think every team goes through games like that. It's just disappointing that it came against a team we could and should have beaten.

You're always looking for an edge. When you take a look at the West, which is pretty competitive I think, anybody can come out of the West, and an opportunity like this comes along you need to consider it.

We did pretty good except for the first quarter. We were just a little bit impatient with our offense. In the second quarter we were very play-conscience. I was looking for lay ups only and that got us back into the game.

Our investigation is pretty much concluded.

You spot somebody 10 runs, it's pretty tough to win.
