It wasn't that he was that good. It was he allowed the system to work.

It’s not just PJ either, not saying we wouldn’t have won more games last year at full health but you could argue we won quite a few because we didn’t have a full roster and teams came in half assing because of it. Our guys were playing with 0 pressure when our key guys were out
