I more or less knew it would go like this.
Not the outcome. The outcome didn’t matter. If not, in fact, being an outright boon.
But the more Fitzgerald whined about fouls called (even while being nearly muted), the more I knew Kerr wouldn’t.
It was a funny thing I hadn’t ever really noticed before. That even when you can’t make out the words—and a speaking voice is reduced to a low background drone—whining somehow rises as if through fog and can sound even more shrill then.
55 fouls aren’t too many to call if 55 fouls have been committed.
