Anywho... The offense didn't get the job done. Period. We're on to 2023.
I am one who has never bought into any conspiracy. I don't believe there are sky fairies out in space awaiting to take us to some heavenly home after we die. I don't believe the earth is flat. I don't believe there was another shooter on the grassy knoll in Dallas in '63. I do know, however, that where there is big money, there is corruption. It is extremely naive to think that the league doesn't have its finger on the scale in certain games to tip the scale 15-20% in favor of one team to make a preferred outcome more likely. And it is very, VERY easy to do, mostly through bad ball placement and strategically-timed no-calls.
