As the saying goes "they're few and far between".
And that's the point of this thread really. It's not just a convenient narrative used against Marvin, It's very true ! Marvin regularly gets out coached, out planned, out adjusted after half time. The frequency with which it happens against good teams, in the playoffs, prime time etc. is even worse.
Marvin's conservative, play not to lose style is very real and one of the main reasons we get beat when it matters most !
