We're so many games in, we shouldn't be trying to find it. But that's what we're doing. That's what stage we're in right now. We're trying to get better defensively, and we got beat by [28], so, obviously, we're not getting better defensively.

To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.

I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games.

You play 82 games, and it's unheard of that you win every game, but this is one we should have had,

We didn't get any stops. We are trying to get better defensively but we got beat by 30 points, so obviously we are not getting better defensively. ... Obviously if you get beat by 30 points then the coach can question your effort.

We're trying to get better, and we're not where we want to be -- but we've progressed. If we stay consistent on defense, we'll be fine. We'll get the easy baskets and then won't have rely on jumpers.
