And then Mitchell Eppner says, what about video review?

Not just in-game requests for replays, but the constant drilling the NBA refs get from league offices and calls they got right and wrong.

They have the performance report after the games.

and they're hammering down on them left and right, maybe the refs are just better at calling stuff.

Well, don't tell the Knicks fans this after game three, even though we're taping this before game four.

But...

It's possible.

I think it's way harder to have a completely terrible one-sided refereeing performance than it was, and there's probably more accountability for a variety of reasons.

And Byron, a Pacer fan, and this is a tough playoffs to watch, he said, you can't affect refs nearly as much now because bad calls will be reviewed and made right.

You can't be terrible homer refs because it'll be graded and scrutinized by everybody.

So the refs are a piece of it.

I think that travel, the more I thought about it, I think that travel is the number one thing that is just easier than it was in the 70s and 80s.

The refs are more consistent.

I mentioned the shooting motions with Rob.

It's a weird one, but there's just less variance.

Everybody shoots the same.

And then the three-pointers is the other one where three-pointers can swing any game possible.

So interesting topic.

Patrick Franken wrote in about he's a Milwaukee fan and him and his fellow Buck fans are now obsessed with that 82 and 0 game, which I'm sure people that's taken over the internet the last seven, eight days where you make these teams and you try to go 82 and 0 and you spin it.

And there's a science to it.
