After consecutive premature playoff exits, what lessons are you taking from these past few years? Are there specific routines you’re building or changing to help get the team to the next level? Franz Wagner: The hope is that you learn these lessons once, and then you’ve got it down the next year. I can just say, we got a really talented roster. We got guys with high character and dudes that want to work hard and get better. And that’s a really good starting point. And every great team has gone through disappointments in the playoffs. But, at the end of the day, you gotta get the job done, and I thought we were really close to it this last year, getting over that hump of winning a playoff series and finding a way to win a game on the road. These are baby steps on the journey, but those are things you gotta learn, especially as a young team. And, no, all we can do is kind of control each day, each moment as well as we can. As I said, prepare well for next year and then, yeah, hopefully take that next step together.
