OMG. I'm glad we pulled through.
1st quarter is normal. He got negative GDP. Usually first quarter heavily depends on tactics, that's why a lot of games people win Q1 but then still lose the game. Usually in these situations there will be a big swing in Q2 or Q3. But thankfully that did not happen. I certainly didn't expect it.
Actually previously I wanted to play normal (which is why earlier I said will lose enthusiasm). Then I saw him start his starters for 2 games. If he start them again for the Cup, they will play over the limit and have bad GS next week. Then I saw his two starting bigmen having not so good GS. So judging by how previous season he unexpectedly TIE me and I wasted enthusiasm, I thought he wouldn't take the risk.
But it's still good. At least the outcome is better than I expected.
