What was your challenge to this issue to maybe Cade to take that next step
0:03
Obviously, we saw a 61 season, MVP-type season last year. What was your challenge for him to even take his game to the next level
0:10
This year, he'll be probably a little more hunted this year than he was last year
0:14
The best part about Cade is you don't have to challenge him to be great, right? He wakes up every morning with the goal of season that day and being great
0:23
And again, we have a ton of conversations about what's necessary and just back and forth about improvement areas and those types of things
0:33
But I don't have to challenge Kate, and that's why he is who he is
0:37
because he's pulling, you know what I mean? He's not being pushed. So, again, I guarantee you you'll see a better version of him
0:45
than you saw last year, which is great for us. But it's just his nature is to want to get better and want to improve
0:53
Maybe if you help it here just help pull your voice down considering the last time we talked to you how with how competitive last year was how successful you all were and then just the crashing halt of it all how long did it take you to get through the emotions of that defeat and try to turn the page and
1:08
look forward? I mean, it sucked. You know what I mean? Like, I'll be honest with you. You know, obviously, you know, we just felt like we were so close
1:19
And, you know, it's one thing when you aren't a playoff team and you see April 15th is
1:25
the last day that you're going to play a game, right? It's another thing when you look up and you're going, I mean, emotionally
1:32
like you're just fully invested in it. And then you go to bed and wake up tomorrow and you've got nothing
1:37
You know what I mean? Like that's not easy. And it did take a little bit while to get over
1:42
You know, for me, it's like completely taking myself away from the game
1:46
I don't watch playoff games right away. Like it takes me some time to like calm myself down before I can watch it again
1:54
And so, I mean, it was a couple of weeks, you know, probably for sure
1:57
before I started watching basketball again and having basketball conversations
