We'll take the time, and Liam, Tony, myself, being able to break away, just the three of us, we'll invest energy with our coaching staff, our support staff, our scouting staff mid to late February and really have a firm grip on that
But at this point, we're all sort of bringing those thoughts to the surface and then beginning to map that out in a more strategic and formalized manner.
Coach James, thank you, sir.
Thank you all for the coverage.
Thanks, guys.
I remember when we were players in 96 and we got the chance to go to the playoffs, one of the first things that we started talking about was, man, we get paid for this too?
Because, I mean, in reality, we would have played for free.
Now, when we found out when we got paid, it was like, okay, that makes it even funner.
But the reality is I would have done it for free.
I would have done the playoffs for free every year.
The reality is that as much as you like to say that it's like any other game, I think in a lot of ways it's not.
The playoffs have a tendency sometimes to magnify moments.
And I think how teams handle those moments, which can be adversity,
are the teams that end up being successful.
And that's, I think, a big challenge for any team in the playoffs.
And your team, I think, this year has been resilient, that they've handled moments without even blinking.
And so that's the one thing that I'm excited about seeing is to see that continue in the playoffs.
I've always kind of wondered this because we've never kind of been here very often.
From an operations standpoint and roster, do the playoffs change for roster management?
Like things you can and can't do?
