Well played game today. You guys are much better than last time I watched you during the Edsall years. 8-4 is a great year I think most fanbases would buy at the start of the season if given the chance.
I think you're partially right. Having a player like Buddy shoot ~50% from 3P over several games obviously helps the offense. Some of those shots were desperation, end of shot-clock tosses that went in. This team is playing much better now than they were the first 1-2 months of the season, but...
