We had to grow as the year went on, and we are not going to use youth as an excuse. We've got to get something out of this. We've got to learn from this.
areas beginning exhibition games improve improved maybe team year
This team has improved from the beginning of the year more than any team I've been around. From the exhibition games through the 14 (regular-season) games, they've improved tremendously. But we have a lot of areas we can improve in. Maybe that's because of our youth.
