As far as the second, I'll say it one more time, get the call right. Look at every angle. Look at every replay. Take 5 minutes or 10. When you are done, make sure the right call was made.
I want to make sure I understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that you'd want the Bulls to win a game simply because the replay booth couldn't get the right angle to the refs in 2 minutes? That you'd rather have the Bulls win a game when a replay angle clearly showed they shouldn't have won?
If that's your opinion, I'm ok with it. I'm also very much against it. The refs got the call right in this case. That's all I care about. I don't care if it's the Lakers, Celtics, Nuggets, Bulls or Magic involved. Take your time and make the correct call.

No, I'm saying I want rules to be enforced. For instance, the Hinrich foul on Billups happened at 1.1 seconds, not 0.6. They never reviewed that despite reviewing the time on the rebound/timeout and a tipped ball on the previous series.
Listen, I don't care about the result, I just want the rules to be in place and universally enforced. The NBA has had a lot of issues with officiating and even had an official alter outcomes of games years. You would think that they would want their rules to be universally enforced.
I agree that the refs should make the right call no matter how long it takes. But that is not what is in the rulebook. What happens next week if officials do follow the rules and it screws over a team?
