Yeah, like TLP Gates is an awesome expansion, but it's the start of expansions where you actually have to play the game and not just show up as a warm body so like a huge portion of the population just nopes out at that point.
Rams are a good defensive and bad offensive team in a down division. Maybe their defense isn't the best in the league, but lets not pretend they're shit on defense and played against a bunch of high school teams. Nobody thought they were going to win this game unless they got a few turnovers...
That's kind of what I've been thinking. If Rams get a couple of turnovers and keep the game low scoring they can win 20-17 or 17-13 or something. But if it gets up into the 30s they basically got no shot.
I mean this is the actual reason but some people are more comfortable with the mental gymnastics to explain it away instead of handwaving it. Not sure why that matters so much to you.
Most of these Netflix movies are pretty shit and Mackie has like no acting range. He's fine when he's doing the dumb one liner thing, but he's mostly pretty shit otherwise. This is probably going to be a shitty movie.
It's the Durant thing. But you can't blame the team, that's on Durant and the league for allowing a spike like that in the cap. Any team/GM would be stupid to not try and sign a dude like him in that situation.
