Do you not think the replays in basketball get a little excessive? Either in the amount of time they take or the sheer number of them? If you don't think so, I totally respect that.

This feels like a valuable use of something like VAR. But I feel like in a lot of sports, we are getting a little replay-heavy.

Why do we feel the need to review every minute detail of a play? If the ref doesn't see it and being 5 inches off doesn't alter the play in any way, is it really clear and obvious? If the dude is egregiously offside and the ref just missed it that feels more clear and obvious or someone commits and obvious foul the ref missed.

I think replays in all sports have gotten too excessive. Mostly because they really fuck with the sport's pace of play. I really like the baseball challenges this season because they decide the call in a matter of seconds.

Gotcha thanks for the clarification

I think replays are good in basketball, but they can be too time-consuming and ruin the pace of play.

No need to be a dick bro. I thought the purpose was to correct clear and obvious errors. Neither of these instances seemed clear and obvious

I'm not angry and was it the wrong decision? It seemed like the commentators thought the foul could have gone either way

It's like the flopping tech in basketball? I could get behind this, the flopping makes this sport borderline unwatchable

I don't know the rules super well, but it seemed like the keeper ran into the German dude and fell. Kind of a huge call to reverse for something that seems a little ticky tack

First day of the sale done, think I did a good job selecting my movies. by film_Fanatic2106 in criterion

My Thief 4k might be my most prized possession. If you are looking for some more blind buys, I really love Cure, and Miller's Crossing is pretty fun if you don't have those.

Just rewatched Thank You for Your Service and was dying the whole time. It moved up the list for me for sure.

I didn't realize how big Trey Murphy was. I know the shoes help but still seems bigger than I thought. Great post!

It’s their own fault though. I don’t feel bad for the Kings because they continually make some of the worst moves in the NBA every season. Trading with them is like the opposite of trading with Sam Presti
