Maybe that's a naive take and they've been trying their hardest all along, but there's no question that we've had plenty of times when we've looked like shit in the regular season these last few years only to turn it on when we get to January.

That very well could be, and I’d so, so be it. As I said, it’s difficult to complain about a one loss season - well, for some of us it’s difficult anyway.
