The only concern I have is that I hope we don't peak too early.

The only frustrating thing is that we haven't had all the pieces in place. The group that's healthy has gotten a lot better. They have great team chemistry, so really, and it's even hard for me to believe, that I've really enjoyed coaching this team. None of us like losing, but it's a pretty mature group. I hope for their sake we get a few more wins.

The only reason they were talking about that is they were expecting us to have a losing season. And I don't. So I just hope nothing gets to that point because that'd be tough for both of us.

The only thing I'm disappointed with this year is ending the regular season on a four-game losing streak. But it's not like we're getting blown out. We've struggled with free throws and turnovers, and we'll get better. I just hope it happens this weekend.

The players want to take the game to a new audience and Chinese fans want to see world-class stars in action, so it's a perfect match.
