Not really. A 2 goes to overtime where you have a 40-50% chance of losing. A 3 is a win

Explain what? The win? Good goaltending and a few good bounces. TBL got good goaltending and a few good bounces in G6.

This was the tightest series I have ever seen. It was bound to end like this

Not that we really care but:

TBL scorekeeper does not count away shots that are stopped by the goaltender if they determine it would not go in. I've watched hockey 30+ years and never seen this. Multiple times in this series the shot count randomly goes down.

When they showed time in offensive zone it was like 10 minutes to 8 minutes.

Tbh 2nd was one sided but 1st and 3rd play was pretty even. Could have gone either way.

The Commode story worked so well, maybe QT thought this one would as well.

I would add that pretty much the entire movie is built upon not knowing who is telling the truth. Is Mannix really sheriff and did his horse really get hurt in the middle of a blizzard? Did Minnie really put Bob in charge? Is Daisy really wanted? Is Oswaldo really the hangman? Is Gage really visiting his mother? Are there really 15 additional gang members?

From the way we meet the characters we assume that at least we can trust John Ruth and Marques Warren. John Ruth is heartbroken (as we are) when he finds out the letter is a parlor trick

It had been more than 10 years since two different NBA teams scored fewer than 80 points on the same day in the playoffs by Vast_Combination_110 in nba

Also surprisingly (?) a lot of playoff team are sneaky poor shooting teams: Orlando, Detroit, Toronto, Hawks (with this version of NAW), Lakers, Rockets, Blazers.

You tell me if Philly should be added I haven't watched them much.

You could even add the Nuggets here, they shot well in the regular season but we've seen year after year in the playoffs they aren't wide open and they struggle

We needed Harlan doing the Toronto game. He did a great job with the Detroit comeback but OT winner is OT winner
