  Speaker 5: you know, a better season, to be doing a lot
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: better than your first year in the league, but the

  Speaker 2: It hurts more to lose, you know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Then you have a bad game and you win like
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: it hurts, you know, to lose in general. So I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: feel like my individual when I'm doing individual don't have
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with it. If we can't pull over
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a win, and I mean I have to bring more
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to the table and more as a player and continue
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to grow.
