Or how about some of the finishes LBJ had around the rim which should have been and 1s? This is why I hate these 2 minute reports, calls are missed all game, but they are just going to review the last two? eh oh el

Because if a team loses ground because of missed or incorrect calls, team has time to "play through it" and try to gain back ground.

But in the last two minutes or especially the last couple of possessions of a game, the team really doesn't have time to overcome missed or incorrect calls.

Yeah that's completely true. And the Warriors still blew a 14 point lead in a matter of minutes. 2 minute reports are complete garbage. LeBron easily could have shot 5-6 more free throws, Liggins took a charge that wasn't called, Love took a charge that I think got called a foul, RJ got a bull**** tech.

Sure, but the Warriors had a shot to keep their lead, if they didn't allow Kyrie to score, so they could have done something. This is why I hate these arguments lol.

Look, all I'm saying is if the league is saying they want to be transparent, you can't just be transparent for just the final two minutes of a game. There were missed calls throughout this game and probably every game. If they want to be transparent, review the whole game.

To me, things like Richard Jefferson getting a tech for a smile and wink while KD screams MF in Loves face and gets nothing are just as important in eventually what was to be a one point game.. I dont really get picking and choosing on that kind if stuff...so thats why I dont dwell on it like that when its all said and done.

As pissed as I was with the disaster of an ending to the Spurs/Thunder playoff gane last year...I can respect that Manus foot on the line preceeded all of it, which should have been called...

If this was any other two teams matched up, they would have called everything. This was a rematch of the finals so a lot was going to be let go...

I don't want to see Harden draw fouls and shoot free throws. That's not entertaining for me. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Exactly! Look at the end of football games... you see multiple fouls/holds etc get pushed under the table...

Well I mean look at the Jordan rules.... Superstar calls have and will always be a thing

Wait are we talking about football or basketball? I'm confused.
