1. That’s More Like It

Playoff series are about adjustments and counter-adjustments. It’s often what separates good coaches and teams from great ones, or, more accurately teams with a lot of talent from true contenders. Clubs can win a lot of regular-season games with a talent advantage because the amount of opponent-specific preparation a team does over the course of 82 games playing every second or third night is minimal – go out there and play your game and if your guys are better than theirs, you’re gonna win more often than not.
