Rod Thorn has now seen his team play 17 games, or roughly 20 percent of the season, and even before last night's 118-95 loss to the Pistons he wasn't happy.

Too many big deficits to climb out of, too few victories.

But Thorn indicated that, while he may be looking for outside help in the form of a trade, nothing appears on the immediate horizon, meaning the players on the current roster will have to get the job done. And, he believes they can.

"You always are trying to look for something to help your team," Thorn said before the loss. "It's not always possible to do something. I think we have a good team. I think we have good players. I think our players want to do well. We just have to tighten a little bit."
