Ahh, the Game is the Game.

wow i miss this part at the end.

What Avon did was business, not desperation that the game. See a lot of people think the game is only about violence, that's part of it, and the rest is mental.what Avon did was brilliant

@ProducerMikeFaber What random analysis is that? Everyone knows from day one that Avon's got no love for the East Side (example: east vs west basketball game episode). Avon hated the Co-op arrangement that Stringer got them into. He's not helping Marlo out in anticipation to Marlo's crew ending too. He just needs to sort out his family while inside. We don't even know if Avon knew the cops were onto Marlo's crew n the bodies in the vacants. Prop Joe and 'em didn't even know.

This is a great scene. If you remember, Avon only had to finish out his original sentence as he was sent up for a parole violation. He's helping to tilt the scales in favor of Marlo/West Side over Prop Joe/East. It's heavily echoed in this season that Marlo and his kind will fall eventually. He leaves too many bodies stacked. By helping pull the connect out of Joe's hands and into Marlo's, and knowing Marlo won't last, he's actually setting himself up to return to the throne when he comes home
