Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4851495, member: 405"] I don't think that any games are "easy", and I sure hope the players don't feel that way. I think the optimistic take is that we played 2 very good teams, and we hung close, but made too many mistakes and too many bad decisions to win those games. Good teams punish mistakes. But even mediocre teams can punish mistakes, too - that's why you can't say, "everyone else will seem [I]easy[/I] after this". Because it's not about the other team nearly as much as it is about you, doing your various jobs the best you can. Focus on trying to cut down on mistakes (but recognize that some are inevitable if you take chances ...). Try to be humble enough as a teammate to give up your shot if someone has a shot that's better. That's how you approach this, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
