I mean, that's a coaching question.

As you said, it's a team, and you've got to win and lose as a team, and everybody needs to pull on the rope.

So whether or not Leon and I are playing together or not, it doesn't really matter just as long as everybody's got a role and bought in and, as I said, pulling on the rope.

You know, it's only a couple days ago I made those comments.

I obviously feel the same as I did a couple days ago and agree with Leon that the organization as a whole is taking a step back, and that starts with me.

It starts with me.

It starts with Leon.

We all can be better, and we all need to be better, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know why.

I don't have that answer right now in this moment, but it certainly was the case.

I don't know what else to say, but certainly that's what it felt like.

I mean, you know,

center one, two, three are playing through stuff.

But at the end of the day, you've got to find ways to win games in any way.

You've got to grind one out.

You've got to defend one out.

Injuries, yeah, they suck, and it hit us at a bad time, certainly.

But at the end of the day, they're the better team.

So we'll just leave it at that.
