Lol NBA. Let’s review flagrant 1s for 10 minutes though. But not review that. Incredible.

Why did they not review that call against Giannis? That makes no freaking sense.

"In any reviewable matter, there has to be a whistle called on the floor. There was no whistle blown for the play, so we couldn't review it."

That's just the rules though isn't it? If refs didn't see the foot on the line and the play goes on till Giannis makes the basket, they can't review whether or not his foot was on the line before he got to the rim and I wouldn't want them to be able to

We should just eliminate reviews all-together in the regular season.

Ok that makes sense. I guess if they didn't "see" the questionable foot on the line in real time they can't stop play to review.

But if they saw it and weren't sure, the refs could have stopped the clock after the basket to review right?

russ did a masterful job of tanking the thunder offense when he was getting 30% usage instead of 40%. probably the laziest most incompetent off ball player in the NBA. with recent uptick in offense + easy schedule + not running cold in close games everyone is on board the triple double bandwagon again

"now i do what i want"



where's game of zones been btw?

Don't think they do game of zones during the regular season.

Average age by minutes played this season. Best way to sort that stat imo.

It's difficult to come up with a procedure for reviewing bad non-calls.

If they saw it and weren't sure, they can blow a whistle and review it, but then people complain if he is in bounds and has a spectacular dunk waved off. Refs should be confident in their calls, even in their mistakes. If they get tentative, that just opens up the game to all sorts of other problems.

Mistakes happen. Getting it right 100% of the time is not a realistic goal. I think a more reasonable idea for trying to minimize errors is to add another referee.

No they don't.

I would pay good money for a monthly Game of Zones.

Aside from game of zones, NBA should clearly produce their own cartoon/anime to get kids into basketball

Kanter Vs Boogie + AD vs Staps is a promising game

wtf are you talking about. the refs have NEVER given lebron calls. you gotta be legit blind to think the refs are just now turning on him.

I didnt even bother watching the xmas game. just flipped it on and saw lebron get hammered twice, then a ticky tack call on the cavs, and the cameras started showing a ref. knew that there was no point in watching the rest.

the real mystery is what the warriors did to benefit from the refs being on their side in every single game no matter what.
