NBA to experiment with challenge flag

Cuz we don't get the calls so there is nothing for us to challenge. They won't just let coaches stop game play.

 

great, more ways to slow down the game. just what it needed!

 

Ok MDA, I'll take a good slow officiated game vs a fast rigged game. If you foul out, you foul out. Players will adapt and stop fouling. I had a player on my team and I let him foul out so he can know the lesson.

 

you don't love the idea of more commercials?

 

yeah because the challenge flag addresses these and will cure all.

if a game is officiated well enough it isn't slow. but that's not where were at. so in addition to slowing the game down already, we get more options to slow it down. people thought all this review bs would make the game much better. it doesn't. yayyyyy for more stops

 

more commercials? or is it lets watch the officials huddle around a monitor, talk to each other and do it again and again. then pan over to teams huddles and everyone else just standing around. yes more of this!

 

Seems it will have a extremely limited impact, but I like the idea. Maybe the 4 point Harden play against GSW that was called a "on the floor foul" could theoretically have been changed...Oh what could of been.

Like these tests, let's see how it pans out.

 

This y’all!!!! Swallowing whistles negates this whole scheme.

 

They don’t want real change.

 

I'm guessing if you are wrong you get a timeout taken away? Also, I wonder if you get multiple tries. Refs **** up a lot.

 

Pretty sure there will be multiple tries. The question is, will the out of bound challenge counts be separated from the foul challenge counts?

 

nm

 

Finally, they should did this 40 years ago. the NBA landscape would've been changed, so much. I know many will disagree with me, but it is the one thing that would've brought alot more parity to NBA, sooner.

Think about every playoff series where a bad call/succession of bad calls changed the course or outcome of the series.

It would be fair, take a good amount of the BS calls away (ex. CP3/Scott Foster), and not leave as much doubt or crazy conspiracy theories circulating.

 

Are they going to call it the Kevin Durant rule or Michael Finley rule?

 

Coach Guy Lewis would have loved being able to do that. He was always prepared!

 

Lol I'll believe when i see it.

I still haven't seen one of these so-called "challenge flags" in the 14 years since this thread was created

 

not enough stops tbh.

i need this to be like the nfl where you stop and strategize after every play.
