I agree. And even more importantly for me, the thing for me is not the idea of the correlation
They are playing the right way. Sutter has said they don’t want to be a defending team, they are a checking team
The reason they have their record is how they are playing
Results and statistics are passive observations of how things are being done
Teams that have fallen off have, being the improbable exceptions, likely been the beneficiary of unsustainable things.
