I think that we had a tremendously respectable road record, which means that we play as hard on the road as we do at home. But we need to be 80-20 instead of 50-50 as far as winning and losing. That was the difference in our year in a nutshell.

She's very scared, ... She doesn't want to be strapped down to that gurney all alone.

We got off to a slow start and it didn't get any better.
