41:19 certainly looks like the refs are cracking down on things like travels (despite the one lamelo globetrot— may actually have a positive effect because of being so egregious btw) and offensive fouls— especially veering off the obvious line of your drive to “draw” contact with a defender— I.e. cheating— fingers crossed it is finally a very very very very long season for the most aesthetically displeasing player and flat out cheater of all nba history Giannis antetekounmpo
41:19 thank you for this Tim. Just thanks for that. Wish bontemps could’ve been on to take part in this one
