Also proud of Favors for nailing the clutch FT's, hopefully it gets FT's out of his head.
Felt the same way. Great growth moment.

I hate the NBA. Refs make stupid calls, there is no recourse if they are wrong either. Make it like the NFL 2 challenges a game. If a call is bogus it shouldn't kill the offended team.
What is wrong with Hibbert? Is he not playing with a full deck of cards?
I'd rather have the occasional bad call than challenges. It usually evens out over the course of a season, it's not like we never get bad calls in our favor. The refs do a good job for the most part. Being a basketball ref isn't an easy job.
I can't wait til exum is not scared of his own shadow. The dude looks like he can play, just looks terrified. Hopefully he figures it out after putting in some time and taking a few lumps. He needs more minutes.
The hardness is one reason it should exist. The calls on Gobert really hurt tonight. Most good games are decided by less then a few bad calls. It is a huge need.
Ok, so we get to sit through 3 minutes at least for each of these reviews, and you know damn sure teams are going to use all of them, making the game even longer.
It's a terrible idea. The refs do a good enough job. The better team usually wins. Indiana was the better team tonight. You can't fall asleep for an entire quarter and expect to win. A loose ball call against Gobert didn't lose us the game.
Totally get what you're saying, to be fair it's not your normal ref job:Being a basketball ref isn't an easy job.

Starting salary of $150k ($550k for vets) and 3 mos of the year off, being that close. Not the worst gig to have.

Exum had a heck of a line....0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13. He is learning from Trey how to jack up shots and not do much else.
Do you watch the Jazz play defense at all ,did you see Indiana Pg's or Dante's assignment blowing by him like everybody does against Burke
Serious? The past 3 years have been predictable. We go down 16 years before and we never come back. This team has fight and desire. Sure they don't pull them all out. But they are the 3rd youngest team in the NBA. These games show a very bright future for me.
I dont want to sit through further delays to the flow of the game. You see how long it takes them to decide even the most obvious out of bounds calls over replay? Imagine how long it would take to call something as subjective as fouls over replay? No thanks. Just play teh game and don't blame refs for every loss. They weren't even that bad this game. They have been worse in past games.
The games are often fixed. If you have a chance to overturn a few bad calls that is well worth it. Look at football. Yes the replay is slow. MANY games have been saved due to it.
