Where's the defense this year?

Unfortunately we fell for your Jedi mind tricks at MWR and paid for it. We didn't realize that we had no chance at outscoring the high-powered alliance of 269/45/930 and lost a couple of close matches. Had we played some defense and stopped the 45 machine from feeding what seemed like dozens of balls to the HPs and capping the overflowing goal we may have had a chance. As John has already said in this thread, it all comes down to strategy. Realize when you're outgunned and when you can't keep up in a high scoring match and play some defense instead. Slow down the flow of small balls, prevent the goal from being capped, and hope you have enough points to squeak out a victory.
