It took us a long time to gain control of this game. The expectations we have for ourselves are so high, we feel the frustration.

All of those questions are ones that are directed at you because you have something you're shooting for. For us to be in a position where any of those arguments even matter, we have a lot of games to win. It's not an issue right now. If we get down to the very end and we're fortunate enough to be in position, then we'll deal with it. Right now, it's not something we talk about.

These games are great for us. We need to be challenged, to be under the gun. We need to have to respond. It will make us strong.

We've never been about goals or expectations. It's exciting and fun for us.

As far as traffic control, it's a learning curve for us at the Stockton Police Department. It's the first morning event at the arena, and we had the influx using the arena blending with the morning traffic coming to work.

All that stuff takes time, but unfortunately for us, because expectations are so high we've got to come out the gate ready to play. So there's a lot of little things we've got figure out. But when in doubt, you just throw it to Shaq.
