“We need to start Game 1 where we finished off Game 70 and not let anything go backward. More than anything, it's my expectation we would do everything we did last year that was possible. But we have to build on that. We have to get better.”
Matt Gifford
“They started off hot. But what counts is the fourth quarter and how you finish. It's not how you start; it's how you finish.”
