Instant replay is bad. Didn't watch last night but if they can't figure it out in 30 seconds, the original call stands. Or don't have it at all

NBA officials will also let a soft foul go in exchange for letting a team keep possession.  Then a challenge happens and they have to change it to a turnover (although maybe not now that you can challenge fouls).  I remember this happening to Chris Paul late in a playoff game and it was ridiculous.

They, at least the officials last night, are also a lot more liable to kowtow to whining players in review situations. Late in the game the referees called what seemed to be a very obvious foul. LeBron threw the biggest tantrum in all star game history and after what seemed to be a two plus minute review, after a full timeout, they reversed it.

I, for one, actually enjoyed watching all stars actually give a damn in an all-star game.

Although I don't favor it, there are arguments to be had for the Elam Ending, last night was not one of them. The entire Wichita regional of TBT was a much better watch.

This was great, although it was also a contributor to how bad the offenses were late.

it was def exciting and competitive at the end, but the issues i saw was it put a lot of pressure on the officials on what they were willing and not willing to call in a next basket wins situation.  i also thought the game would end on an exciting 3 or something, and to see it end on a free throw was very anti-climatic and ironic.

Wichita TBT was great.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

yea it was nice they tried. eventually someone will get injured and people will go crazy about it. but really playing 1 extra game when all stars can play 80, 90+ games in a season, along with workouts, practices, and pickup games, is nothing
