We haven’t been executing how we were before at the beginning half of the season. It’s a long season. It’s going to be ups and downs, but, we have to find how to fight adversity. You have to learn different things in your rookie year. Everything’s not going to be perfect. It’s how you respond. We will respond great. I’m frustrated because we lost. I don’t like losing. Everybody can play better, including myself. It starts with me.”
