0:00.0	Amazon Prime crapping out with 40 seconds to go in overtime is a scary thought.
0:05.0	Because if you're watching it last night, you're probably like, oh, that's weird, that sucks.
0:09.0	If that's a Nick playoff game, you're gonna lose your mind.
0:13.0	So Amazon Prime, get it right. Also, and this is to me, I can't say bigger,
0:18.0	because obviously it cutting out is the biggest.
0:20.0	The conclusion of that game,
0:21.9	which was electric, right? The game winner by Lamello Ball, the block on the other end,
0:26.6	the Amazon Prime little scorebug said Miami had a time out. They did not. And so when Miami,
0:34.9	after the Lamello Ball game winner or potential game winner, they obviously were in a rush down the court, they didn't have a timeout. But Amazon Prime told us they had a timeout.

1:16.2	the issue at hand before we get back to your calls. Lamello ball absolutely tripped BAM out of bio,
1:23.7	which caused BAM to fall out of bounds on his back and not return in this game.
1:28.0	Yeah.
1:28.5	Now, there's a few issues here.
