Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4239101, member: 11281"] Ideally, yes. The team must be capable on both sides of the ball but abilities of the opponents tend to disrupt this. I think the reason you hear defense wins championships is because if collective effort into effective defense is mustered, it can be sustained for the whole game. Sometimes there is a ebb and flow in the offense....dry spells and scoring runs.....unless, of course, the team has the luxury of offensive weapons in which almost anybody can score in any given situation. This team has abundant capable scorers, all have proved their mettle during their survival run and because it became a shared load of very good players going in and out of the lineup, they are relatively fresh. This augurs well for sustained effort on defense and substitution in waves ensures fatigue does not set in. [/QUOTE]
