We're not getting the same calls.

I don't think it matters.

I mean, if it's Phil Jackson or Pat Riley or Red Auerbach, then maybe, maybe...

Something subconscious, but I don't think Mike Brown going, you know, I've never seen this before.

Yeah, okay.

But you did see it.

Now you have to, you can't sit here and harp on the officials and forget about what you need to do for game four.

You need to do in game four what you did in games one and two.

And you got away from last night.

Yes, Dylan.

It does feel like people's complaints about the NBA a lot, and particularly in the postseason, is how dominant the officiating storyline becomes.

I mean, obviously it's in every sport, but it does feel weird that it's like on a game-by-game basis, the officiating is going to be notably different and impact the game one way or the other.

But there's so many calls in a game.

I have to factor that in.

Every time down the floor, there can be a call.

There's not a penalty on every play in the NFL or college football.

Now, there could be, but you have to decide.

And I'm all for letting them play on.

I'm okay with a little physicality.

Now, not as much as we saw last night.
