i feel the nfl does a pretty solid job and get majority of the calls correct. havent seen it in baseball as much, but it takes away from umps arguing from what ive read.

do you think challenges would work, where coaches get a number of challenges?
expand what can be reviewd? allow replay for fouls?

i swear some endings of gms take forever bc the refs rely heavily on it. have another ref look at strictly replays?

somethings got to give. maybe do away with it completely >D

It'll be better when they don't limit what they can look at when they go to it, just look at what happened and make the right call.
 
Nothing is wrong with it. They didn't call the foul so they made up for it by giving the ball back to Oklahoma. It's that simple. Not the first or last time there's been a makeup call in a professional sport.
 
You people that constantly ***** and complain about the refs in the NBA are pathetic. :smh:

Every, damn, year you guys go thru this.

EVERY, sport has missed calls. Every year, forever. This will NEVER, be changed. Mistakes are made, calls are missed. Every game, every sport, every year.


Stop crying about it.

Players have bad games, refs/umps have bad games. Simple as that. There is no government conspiracy to screw your favorite teams/players/cities over. Get the hell over it.
 
I would love for them to actually include fouls in the Replay, it's no reason why you should be able to clearly see a foul on the replay or lack of one and simply have to ignore it. The last 2 minutes of a game fouls should be up for review.
 
The past couple of nights, the refs corrected their missed calls. It wasnt because it's "fixed".

I wouldn't say corrected. Yeah they made the call fair in respect to the fact that each player got fouled before the out of bounds call but the whole point of the matter is....

They missed the foul call TWICE in key moments of the game! Reggie Jackson got fouled(That game most likely would have went into overtime, either team could have had a chance to win at that point) and Pierce shoulda gotten free throws as well(Resulting in a Brooklyn win)

They need to add the ability to change a call to a foul because each of these game's outcome were most likely gonna be completely different had the right call been made.
 
Fix the flagrant foul is what i want. With the recent replays (which you all are discussing,) the refs seem to be making up for the missed calls and making thing correct and right.

but this flagrant foul stuff is not only time consuming, but they are getting them wrong. Westbrook didnt even make contract with Blake.
 
The NFL hired Peyton Manning to hand the ball over to Tracy Porter? That's your stance?

:lol:

He's talking about the Vikings.

How soon we forget.

I'm still not following. Didn't Favre throw a pick and AP fumble the ball away in that game? League set that up too?


The Saints were the NFL's choice, because Katrina or something? Not helping Brett Favre and the storybook Vikings, or the darling Peyton Manning and the Colts, they just wanted to help the Saints?

:lol:

I want to participate in this thread that opening line is so absurd its hard for me to.

You are right.  Every sport has missed calls.  Every one of them.  But there are exponentially more incorrect calls in the NBA than in any other sport.  This is indisputable.  And I think this has to do with the speed of the game....which makes it understandable why NBA officials make more mistakes than any other sport's officials.

I do think that superstars get preferential treatment though.  That is not ok.  But normal missed calls?  Completely understandable.

The second you allow challenges being offered/replay review for fouls is when NBA games will be tough to watch. Just think about how long the final 2 mins of a close game would be if the ref's went ahead and looked at the replay for a foul. Hell, players would be purposely look to make contact instead of making a shot to win games. You'd rather watch that kind of basketball?

I agree that the NBA replay system needs to be tweaked, but not as drastically as some would like to believe.

I think the NFL replay system has it best. You can only challenge twice in a game and you cannot challenge personal fouls on individual players. You should be able to only challenge the call made on the field or this case--court.

No, it is not indisputable.

The NFL has holding on every play, and only 3-4-5 get called per game. That's a missed call, every single time.

So no, the NBA does not have it worse. Fans just overreact more cuz they can't spot holding as easy as "he touched his shooting hand" etc.
 
I want to agree w/ OP... but then CP.

And I want to agree w/ dland... but then CP.

I do think that the NBA has more blatantly incorrect calls than MLB/NFL. I swear sometimes it seems like they're just guessing on almost all block/charge calls, or some out of bounds calls.
 
It cant work for basketball it cant.

The NBA moves too fast for this. The speed of the game allows for far more errors than any other sport, and with that comes more challenges. Each coach would be crying foul over every play, every illegal screen, every travel that goes ignored. It would bring the game to a grinding halt.

Missed calls happen in sports and we just have to accept it. Theres holding on every play, umpires miscall strikes all the time, and I'm sure theres some sort of hockey thing that gets missed all the time(Icing? IDK I DONT WATCH HOCKEY).

Throughout the majority of the game, I would say that they do a decent job of catching things, we just not need to overblow the few times they miss a call. Get angry in the heat of the moment and thats it. More replays is a step backwards.

That CP cat sounds wise. :lol:
 
Every league has missed calls/blown calls/ it would be a knee jerk reaction to change the replay system drasticaly. NBA game is to fast you would have to stop on each play just to make sure you called a foul correct. It should just be there to review out of bounds, flagrants that's it. Main problem isn't even the replay system, they just need consistency. If they set a standard to start a game and saw it all the way through then it'd be no problems but the problem is too many plays the exact same thing happens and you get a no call on one end and a foul on the other.
 
You simply cannot include fouls to the replay review. It would not work and would dramatically effect the game in a negative way. Imagine if MJ's shot over Russell was put under review lol. Heck imagine if it was overturned as an offensive foul

My only beef is the clear path reviews need to go. It defeats the purpose of the rule.
