“We’ll be much better than last season. At least that’s what I hope. After all, we had to overcome many problems during the season. And yet, we still made it to the playoffs. Of course, the postseason didn’t go as expected, but the mere fact that we made it there was a testament to our strength. The truth is, the NBA is very difficult. This franchise prides itself on always finding a way to fight for the title. We do that every year, and it’s become a norm. So, that’s our goal again. I think we have a good roster, with young players and some veterans. Plus, we have a competitive spirit. So, the mission is to create unity with all of that.”
