Seven minutes for an out-of-bounds review?

The opening odds start here
Video review should not take a fraction of that long. The referee made the right call because Lebron's right foot hit the floor before saving it to Covington, whom which the original call was last off of.

After all that, the refs said it's LA ball.
How about pointing in a specific direction? Much less saying which LA they're talking about?

Am I fortunate I bet LA tonight.

I hear so much about how NBA refs are the best out there

BULLSHIT!

They are some of the worst. There needs to be a 2-minute limit. If the call is not overturned in 2 minutes - call stands.

Two minutes is too long.

Love the tennis replay system.

Everyone sees the replay on the big screen and we move on.

I'm all for getting the call right, but the flow or rhythm of the game is paying the price.

Radical idea: How about using replay only in the second half or better yet, only in the fourth quarter when an obvious blown call is more likely to determine the winner of the game?

If a referee's mistake takes place early in a game, teams still have plenty of time to recover.

The NFL this past season used "expedited replay" and it seemed to work.

Researching now the expedited process.

Cyclops when determining points in tennis has been one of the more reliable methods of replays for years.

It shouldn't need a staff of 3 to determine a simple out of bounds replay on the floor. Haven't these zebras ever heard of inconclusive conclusions? Disgraceful and embarrassing shit show of a sport or not.

LaBrick was involved. They know if they get it wrong and he calls the Commish they are out of work.

Two scrubs and they don't spend 30 seconds on this play.

The only thing more annoying than Brick running the league is he KNOWS he runs the MF'er!

Funny how LBJ & Klutch are not happy with Pelinka now. LBJ was behind the moves made to improve the team & now that they suck he & his team are meeting with the brass complaining….

The NFL is now using tennis technology (Hawk-Eye).

Give the league credit.

They are adaptable and progressive unlike their counterparts in Major League Baseball.

The NFL even stole an idea from the short-lived Alliance of American Football.

The AAF had a "sky judge" and with expanded powers now given to the NFL replay official, that in effect is what the NFL features.
