No one her is typesetting the 2020 flag (yet ?) but we are progressing, we seem to be learning.
12 months ago we couldn’t win a close game, now we seem to be learning how to dig in and hold that lead, accept the green shoots...
Yes, but is this luck, or progress, or both ? Last night, I would argue that at best, we were level pegging with North for 3q, and at worst, we were slightly outplayed. Don't forget, we've lost our fair share of close games as well.
There are those who think the 99 prelim is some kind of pinnacle, a victory for the ages. I disagree. I think it was fraudulent, and I'm deferring judgement until I see that where we're at now is beyond the stage of false hope.
