It is very surprising that many teams did not think of this. We also overlooked the importance of ball manipulation. With the past few games being like they were, it is surprising that many teams overlooked this thing of extreme importance. Each game relies on manipulation of the game pieces. For some reason people think that other aspects are more important, but when you think about it, if you can't posses the ball and aim it, you cannot win easily at all. We figured that out a little too late.
