And so most coaches want their defense in front of them the second half, which is that's the winning time.

So every team does that.

And for whatever reason, these three teams flipped it on its head.

And so it just, it creates a little more randomness.

It's a lot harder to defend because you can't call it the coverages.

There's so many layers to it.

There's like you get more fouls because you're yelling at the refs and the refs are influenced by you yelling at them.

There's the bench defense where these clowns show up in the guy's ear, which is a joke that teams do this, but they do do it.

Yeah, especially on the side you're shooting on.

So there's so many layers to it that creates this massive efficiency difference.

Now the other thing that's interesting is Utah, the Wizards, etc., New Jersey Nets, Byron Scott, that's the other one.

They did it almost, I would say, every road game.

There was other teams that kind of dipped in and out.

And sometimes they would do defense first.

Then if they lost, they would switch.

And so that was where it was really interesting because that's where you really had an edge.

Because after a while, the sportsbook started to figure out that the easiest way to do it was to shade the lines based on home away, first half, second half.

The over-unders, that started to happen around 2007, 2008.

Well, the sportsbooks, when they make their lines, the way they do the totals, for instance, is they will set the game total, what they think the game total will be, let's say 200.

Let's just keep it simple.
