Porter's concerns are justified, as Glory has not sustained their performance in recent seasons.
Against weaker teams, big leads are easily caught up, and although the win rate is still high, victories are hard-fought.
Most importantly, if this keeps happening, opponents will always maintain the confidence of "I can catch up," and won't surrender easily.
This increases the team's wear and tear and victory costs, and occasionally results in upsets, which frustrates Porter immensely.
Porter still remembers when young Ah Gan led the Trail Blazers, always adhering to the "leave no survivors" strategy.
Facing a weak team and a big lead, there was no relaxation, they had to completely crush and cripple the opponent, entering garbage time early.
This way the main players could rest more, and the opponent would lose their will to resist, surrendering early the next time they fell behind by a large margin.
