Most of those outcomes are entirely predictable though. Steph, Klay, Harden, and ESPECIALLY Lowry have always gone stretches in the playoffs where they don’t play well and seem to disappear (hence my favorite annual recurring special on all the sports talk shows: “Is Steph Curry hurt? What’s going?!”). Westbrook…

Ehh, the one constant that I’ve noticed is that Harden only looks gassed in the big moments of big playoff games. I’m not sure if he’s tired so much as shrinking from the spotlight. Durant and Lillard were also both guys that played in the top 10 most minutes this season, and neither one of them have gone significant…

That’s been my perception of him for years. He just disappears in the big moments of big games. It’s almost as if when the defenses ratchet up their intensity in the playoffs he can’t figure out how to deal with it, so instead he just becomes incredibly passive. He always seems to just hang back behind the 3 point…

Ehh, this doesn’t seem that shocking or appalling. It costs money to have lawyers file briefs and make arguments. The Globe rightly recognizes that if any one intervenor is successful then all the media groups get access to it, so they can freeload on the litigation and reap the benefits with none of the costs. And…

I’m actually curious if that is true. It requires a request to be made public- are there tons of videos of non-rich, non-famous cases of prostitution caught on camera floating around after being released under Florida’s open records laws? How about the videos of the dozens of other defendants in this situation whose…

Didn’t Jorah tell Lyanna to stay away from the battle precisely because the future of their house depended on her? 

“They aren’t mutually exclusive or anything

“You’re just proving my point here. If someone calls you a hypocrite, “You are too” is not so much a defense as an admission of guilt.”

“You mean...like you just did?” 

“However, the point was; who would bother continuing to watch eight seasons of television, after they’ve decided it’s boring, juvenile, or un-entertaining, which was exactly the original commenter’s argument.”

“Boats the size Euron is running around get hard to make out very fast.”

“QED: who cares. You won’t even remember or care about this six months now. Why this obsession over these insignificant details in a show where a woman gave birth to a shadow/smoke demon that floated over hundreds of miles to go kill a man on the other side of Westeros is ridiculous. Just enjoy the magic fantasy show…

Tyrion stopped being a superbrain as soon as the showrunners assumed sole control of his character. Now he’s an utter moron who hasn’t made a single correct decision in years.

I’ve been saying it since Season 6. The showrunners are and have always been morons. The further from the source material they’ve gotten the more obvious it becomes they couldn’t create a compelling character or plot point if their lives depended on it. 

Or anyone who can literally see anything happening virtually anywhere in the world at any time, both present and past (and future...?). 

The too many men rule has an explicit exception for guys who are within 5 feet of the bench that aren’t participating in the play. The offside rule doesn’t, for fairly obvious reasons. The offside rule is an objective, either/or rule. It was never intended to be interpreted based upon how much impact a player has on…

Joss Whedon already laid the seeds for this in 2015 when he answered a direct question about it by saying “Did (Cap) fail? Or did he stop?” and leaving it at that. The fact that some people weren’t aware of the fact that this has pretty much always been the explanation doesn’t mean that the Russo brothers are…

Not to mention that it made precisely zero sense for Cap to be able to move it A SMIDGE but not actually pick it up. Mjolnir says you have to be worthy to wield it- either you’re worthy or you’re not. You don’t get to move it to varying degrees depending upon how worthy you actually are. Worthy is a binary. The fact…

Explain how he was able to move it at all in Ultron then. What, he was worthy when he grabbed it, moved it a smidge, and then lost his worthiness in that exact moment? The scene in Ultron was clearly supposed to be a playful joke, but that’s the thing about writing- once you include something it’s there and has…

Their explanation is literally the only one that makes any sense. In Age of Ultron was Cap supposed to be “sort-of” worthy? He made it move- how could have done that at all if he wasn’t worthy? It’s not a “he who shall be on a continuum of worthiness shall be able to control me to varying degrees depending upon where…
