At one point in the practice, you stopped practice and were rather animated. Is that part of wanting to get on with the games after a bunch of practice time?

Keefe: Part of that is that there are positives and negatives to not playing. In practice time, you work on some things, but the negative piece of it is that you are not necessarily game-ready.
