There was a LONG RAIN DELAYThat probably impacts the timing and readiness a little bit.
Every player does muscle memory rituals probably since junior high school.
These are finely tuned athletes who dont like to deviate even a little bit from routines.
Sometimes, it throws you off..when you get totally warmed up (or even the impact onset of Cortisone shots) and then you have to sit around for a while.
Probably not the reason both teams and the referees look like shit, but at least a mitigating factor.
No, it's not. They suck, get used to it.
Oh wait, you're already used to it. Carry on.....
