But also, like, I think I watched more film on us, and it was just like, watching this stuff that, like, we do good, and it’s like, Okay, we just have to go out and, like, do that, and we’ll be just fine.”

So maybe they haven’t lost a whole lot of sets, but every ball matters, and they’re like, What can I learn from that ball that we just got stuffed in the face for? What can I learn from this ball that somebody hammered on us so they use everybody on the court and they know it.”
