What's your point?

edit:
I don't mean to sound harsh. My point is that arguing "we play offense and we did well" is no argument at all... There are a variety of strategies to play this game. To rule one out may be prove a fatal mistake.

I also don't mean to come across as someone who is overly dependant on defensive play. We play a very mixed game, utilizing different strategies depending on the situation, and adapting to the match and opponents in front of us. As predicted early on... this is definitely a "coach's game" and it's been a lot of fun so far.

I can't wait to see how things play out in Atlanta.
