Then that is wrong IMO. I'm a big instant replay guy but to me it's for out of bounds, basket interference and not to correct a foul call that can be up to interpretation. If the NFL reviewed every flag it would be brutal. I'm not sure I like this idea but then again the idea is to get it right and they are much faster than the dumb asses in the NFL with their replay system.

What do you think?

I think if they're going to be allowed to review a play - and happen to see a missed call- that they should be able to make the call. Otherwise I don't think they're taking advantage of the instant replay capabilities. However, on the other hand if they allowed them to do that it would slow the game down tremendously because they'd be constantly asked to review a play. So I understand why they put limitations on it.

But I think they should find some sort of happy medium and revise the use of it. For example, maybe in the last 2 minutes of the game you can review ANY play for ANY reason. Maybe they add value to it like the NFL & charge the team with a time out if they ask for a review. If the league's intent is to get the calls right this IMO would be a huge help.

What was he laughing about?

Yeah no problem but your graphic is kind of obvious no? Like putting up Albama's football history when compared to Wake Forest.

That's where the ouch comes in.

Yeah I like your idea, I was thinking the same thing. Obviously the Wall charge was a huge play and they need to get it right. But they can't go to replay for every call. Last 2 minutes, that works for me.

This has been a good series...can't wait to see if the home team prevails or the road team finally gets a win in this one.

Mr Vocabulary ...

they are one win away from being ... top 4

that puts them ... "close"

You need to try reading before you BS my post.

I was replying to a guy who said that Wall and Beal are as good as any big 2 players in the league, and basically that the Wizards have nothing else but those 2. Had nothing to do with team success.

Are Wall and Beal as good as Curry and KD? Or either of those players and Klay or Draymond?

Are they as good as LeBron and Kyrie?

Are they as good as Kawhi and Aldridge?

I won't hold my breath waiting for your apology.

It sucks for either team though because they're going to be facing a really rested and healthy cavs team.

I was really surprised how well the Spurs did yesterday considering the Warriros were rested and the Spurs just had a pretty tough series with Houston.

The rest thing seems to hurt the rested team in game 1, but help in games 2-7.

Whoever wins tonight better take game 1 if they have any designs on making this a competitive series.

ABSOLUTELY

I predict overtime with a few techs and 1 flagrant. John Wall will close the show.

Aldridge?

Even Gortat & Mahinmi >>> Aldridge. Both are grinders, get up strong after boards, and play defense.

I can't take another minute watching him softly post up and shoot a contested fadeaway.

You may be right.

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and this can be a relatively clean game. Intense for sure, but clean.

LOL.

He may be soft, but he is also very good. Beal may be close to Aldridge in impact, but Wall is not close to Kawhi. Hence, Leonard and Aldridge are the better duo.

Wall's gonna go off tonight....

 

[TJL]

i can't wait for this game, I am so excite

This guy right here. Wall will continue to grow his legend tonight,

I left work early because I wasn't feeling well....took my vitamins and washed them down with beer.

On beer #4.
