Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.12, where this podcast is dedicated to Lor I have a generic subject for you.

I think it's kind of interesting.

Have sports gotten too dramatic?

I don't think so.

Like, from a comeback standpoint.

Like, are leads just pointless now?

Uh, not necessarily.

I mean...

It just feels like... maybe this is just in football

but i mean i don't know i feel like i've seen this in basketball and and then like baseball too

but like you just get teams that get out to big leads and like the winning percentage hits like

80 or 90 percent and then they lose the game and it feels like when maybe i'm'm off, but I feel like when I was a kid or, you know,

a little bit older, like if you got up by two or three scores in football or 10, 15 points

in basketball, like the game wasn't over, but like that team probably wasn't coming back

and winning.

Well, I think a few things.

Number one, in basketball, there's just more possessions, more scoring, faster pace. More possessions, interesting. People shoot more threes than... So like a 15-point league. It's not as big, because they're... You're right, if this is, you know, the 2000s NBA and we're playing really slow, grinded out of game right like yeah i don't think that

tony bennett ear of virginia was blowing like a ton of leads yeah 15 point leads i mean but they had

locked down defense right they played but they also played so slow and just like these grinded out

just no possessions yeah and if you're playing higher scoring uptempo kind of game mean, that's a lot of what the NBA is now, is just transition.

Teams running up and down the court back and forth.

Yeah.
