0:00.0	This is the dayne more NBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company.
0:17.7	Coming at you Thursday afternoon, it's March 16th after the Wolves 104-102 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday evening.
0:26.2	She dropped the wolves back down to 570 games into the season. 12 games to go. I'm joined by
0:32.1	Britt Robson from Minpost today. And Britt, after having had the chance to rewatch last night's game this morning
0:39.8	because we had a little bit, we're recording this a little bit later in the day than we normally do.
0:44.8	I'm actually excited to talk about it and not just the rest.
0:47.7	We'll talk about that too.
0:49.1	But rewatching the game reminded me that a lot more happened in that game than just the dysfunction
0:55.5	of the end of it that was obviously on the front of the mind of everyone who watched that game.
1:01.7	But I do think that is the place to start talking about last night is about the role the

1:34.3	and you kind of felt the trickle-down effect of that the rest of the night, particularly at the very end of the game. So you started your column off with that. You even got the official MBA rulebook
1:40.2	out to quote a few times in your column. So I'll let you take the lead on describing what
1:46.2	went down late in that game. Well, I mean, first to your point, the rest can lose control of the game
1:53.5	two different ways. It used to be that refs would more often lose control of the game by not
2:00.5	being tight enough or bringing up the leash
2:04.1	when it was necessary and things would get long to not on the court. More recently, and certainly
2:13.7	last night, it was because they overreacted.
2:17.8	They began to get much more tickey tack with their calls, at the same time being more subjective with their calls.
