Re: 2/24 - 3/7 Games Discussion Thread
The review last night was still the weirdest thing I’ve ever watched It was one of the longest reviews I’ve ever watched.
For those that didn’t see LeBron crashes for an offensive rebound but his momentum is carrying him out of bounds. He throws the ball inbounds but it is tipped by Covington who while trying to gain control of the ball slaps it down on the baseline.
No call was made on the LeBron save, call on the floor is out on Covington. Clippers team debate challenging for a bit but ultimately do not. The Lakers call a timeout to set something up because the play clock is only like 9 seconds. During the timeout I guess the Clippers decide to challenge the call. Which is also weird because they had already decided not to. I think once a player on another team touches the ball you can’t, so if Frank waited to call a timeout as they were inbounding no challenge, but because he called it before challenge? Just a weird situation.
So the call on the floor is out on Covington, but they start reviewing whether LeBron was out before him. LeBron and Frank question whether you can even challenge the call that wasn’t made. And the refs justify it by saying anything that was part of the play.. so in theory could they review the same play but go back 3 passes ago to see if there was a foul? You get what I’m saying? Like the whole thing didn’t make sense and still doesn’t.
Regardless they took about 10 minutes to even review LeBron’s footing. (I think they said like 7 minutes and something on air) we all complain when it’s 1-2 minutes taking forever imagine sitting for longer than half a quarter lol. Ultimately they decide LeBron was out, all the angles they showed you really can’t tell with certainty so even if he was out I was pretty shocked they thought they had enough evidence to reverse the call. Especially since it wasn’t even the call that was challenged. I’ve never seen anything like that honestly. I thought to overturn a call it basically needed to be obvious, it wasn’t it took them like 10 minutes to even make a decisions.
Clippers inbound the ball and THT tries to foul but misses. Reggie for whatever reason dribbles back I guess to burn clock but then he’s getting close to an 8 second call. He gets close to THT again (who doesn’t foul) and the refs blow the whistle. Lakers challenge the call which gets reversed because there is no foul, I guess the ref was assuming they still wanted to foul idk. Clippers in bound the ball with like 1 second, they throw it backwards like idiots and Reggie thinks he can get off 2-3 dribbles to cross half court in under a second. Obviously they call the 8 second violation.
Just the absolute ugliest stretch of basketball I can remember. Whole thing was like 10 minutes in real time but probably 20 seconds of basketball. Awful to watch.
