"We have to improve. If we don't improve, we're probably going to be a team that's scrambling to make the playoffs. So the goal here is to continue to work to get better, and we need to be patient."
"First half of the season, at some point you get thrown out the window. It's all going to come down to the second half of the season. So it's great to have a good start, but again, it's a grind."
"We're really pleased with the group to date. But this is a long haul. We got to be prepared for not only the good days, but some of the days that aren't so good."
