What can I say, I'm a slave to my rational side-after the way our offense had struggled since JA went out, the way Wake almost took us out in JPJ, our history at the Joel, the way EVERYONE seemed in a shooting slump, the way all of our recent games have been tight, LP's injury - I just thought a loss was coming soon. If not @Wake, then soon.
Nope, all questions answered.
Sure, we COULD lose one. Sure, not every game will go this smoothly. But I have to tell you folks, without our point guard and best three point shooter/defender/athlete, I did not think this team had that sort of performance in it.
The fact that we're capable of doing what we did tonight in a place that has been our house of horrors for over a decade ... and doing it with role players and bench guys doing the heavy lifting ... is incredibly impressive. What I saw tonight completely shifted the paradigm of what I believe about this team without JA.
When JA got hurt, I didn't think we'd miss a beat. Then I watched four games without him and I got concerned. Now after tonight, I'm ready to stop riding the roller coaster. My first instinct was right.
