This means we will see less close games.

Love this

It may result in less fouls called in close games.

They don't review fouls that should have been called but weren't.

Only ones that were called but were wrong.

If the refs were self interested, they would call less fouls when they weren't absolutely sure.

Applause for you spot-on observation as well as the fact itself. They're grown men. Let them play.

I'm OK with this. Less free throws at the end of the game is a plus in my book.

It does say this as well: "Notable non-calls will also be reviewed."

Though "notable" is subjective.

Good point.

I love how this topic is far more interesting/impactful than Westbrook vs. Durant vs. LBJ vs. Kobe vs. CP3 but no one gives a fvck.
