Doc’s state of the team address

“Yeah, I said that the other day, even in the first game in Toronto. It’s not back, but it wasn’t back when we were winning. We want to get to a level where we think, when the playoffs start, that we can win. So that’s what we work on every night, and you can definitely see signs of us trending in the right direction.”

“Well, I never thought we were in the woods or out of the woods, really. The point I was making before we lost, and went in the stretch, I didn’t think we were good as we were playing, and when we were losing we weren’t that bad. We really don’t pay a lot of attention. All we want to do is keep trending in the getting better direction. And I thought during that stretch we were just kind of staying in the same spot.”

“Well, the only people to have doubts are outside our locker room. We don’t — that doesn’t affect us at all. They had doubts last year, too, and we’re fine with that.”
