oh, i'm all for playing well. Scott and I argue this almost weekly. I'm not just content with a win... I want to win "good" so that I feel confident that they can also win consistently. But your question was "who deserves to win". That is a question aimed at a single game between two teams. And the answer to that is, the team with the most points :)
Whether or not that team will win consistently is a whole different discussion.
