I’m not going to try to predict the outcome—instead, I’m going to enjoy the fact that this one could go either way. Should be a great game.

-Outlaw having a big game

Question: Should the NBA expand instant replay?

Should coaches get a flag they can throw onto the court if they want to challenge a call ala the NFL? 3 challenges per game?

Problem is

It would have to be for non-judgement calls like out of bounds, foul calls can’t be reviewed really because they are subjective….

oh i know,

sometimes even in slow-mo you can’t tell if its a foul or not since either way there is contact… But sometimes there is absolutely no contact (see Battier falling down last game)..

They used it like that in college this year

One of the Oregon games they reviewed to see whether the shot clock had reset (it hadn’t), so Oregon got the ball back when they had initially called a violation…

tried to duck but the ball done decked me

knocked me cold disconnect me

next thing I know I’m in a blazer jersey

are saying how the blazers are noticing Yao getting tired in the 1st quarter of these games. they say he’s getting worn down. something ive thought would be a factor if the series is long.
