Listen, instant replay doesn't work wonders in ANY sport... and it won't work here. Yeah, THIS CALL would have been corrected, but what about other things? The game would last 5 hours if they could review everything that matters in a game.
Look at the nfl, the best example. They have replay , but with 100 flaws. Each team gets 2 and unless they get both right, dont see a 3rd and never a 4th. A guy gets called "down by contact" after he ran in for a touchdown. Replays prove he wasn't down, but it's not reviewable. A replay shows a hold causes a touchdown, not reviewable. A touchdown is nullified because of a penalty that never happened, not reviewable.
Instant replay is useless. The only way it MIGHT WORK is if referees were allowed to use it whenever THEY WANT TO ... this way, they could use it anytime , but would use their discretion on how often to keep the game within a few hours.
You can't let coaches dispute call after call...... might as well put robots out there then..
As for orlando, botttom line is detroit's momentum disappeared quickly and orlando led by 4 ... they simply didn't have enough in the tank to get it done.....
Do people REALLY BELIEVE that orlando was ever going to beat detroit 4 times? c'mon, put your hatred aside and think for a second. Detroit has a deeper team, and for the most part a veteran team that has been here a million times,,, orlando hasn't and doesn't have the veteran leadership that it's going to take to beat detroit..
detroit in 5..... does detroit beat boston or cleveland? can't say... but orlando wins nothing

yea it has flaws, but a replay system that cant get everything is better than a system without it that misses lots of things. only once in years of watching football with replay has an official reviewing a play made a call that was obviously the wrong one.
how many times have we seen plays that refs totally screwed up? too many to count.
replay in the NFL works, plain and simple... of course it isnt going to get everything, but getting some things is better than getting nothing.
anything that helps games be decided on the field, and not by what refs think when they often have no clue what happened in real time, is good.

Tyellington: Haha very funny that the Ducks football fan is the one who points out the one point in the history of replay that a reviewed call was blatantly wrong. Hmm, can't imagine you would be referring to Oregon against Oklahoma.

Just because replay isn't perfect doesn't mean its not a huge step forward. Even in the NBA the fact the can review last second shots has changed the outcome of numerous games which would have been won or lost on a bad call.
And like you said, you don't want the game to last 5 hours so why do you want to give the referees the right to use replay as for any type of call. If you start giving them the right to replay calls that are as subjective as holding penalties whenever they like its going to get out of hand.
Personally I like the way the NFL does it. Most teams don't even use their two challenges half the time, and when they do, they lose most of the time anyway. And when the game really matters at the end of each half, they can review any play they want.
Basically you are saying that you don't like getting some game changing plays right because you can't get every game changing play right, which is ridiculous. Although I do agree with you that Orlando is HORRIBLY outmatched in this series. Howard reminds me so much of a young Shaq (never mind that he plays for Orlando) except when he plays the Pistons. He looks absolutely average every time he has to go against a team with as many big physical bodies as Detroit has. Detroit Boston is going to be a hell of a series.

Quit living in the dark ages. The only reason instant replay doesn't work is because the league, NFL and NBA, has stupid rules of when instant replay can and cannot be use. All they have to do is have 3 separate officials in the booth to reviews disputed or calls that can have an impact on the decision making. How many times have we see on tv of what the correct calls should be and it sure hell didn't take more than a minute. TNT showed what the correct time would have been in less than 30 seconds!!!! Get with the program people. We have all these technology but we still decide to live in the cave. Its almost like if our govt decides when emails are only allowed to be use and certain things needs to be mail via regular mail delivery, how stupid is that?

I'm not living in the dark ages dude... you don't know it, but you made my point.
The only reason instant replay doesn't work is because the league, NFL and NBA, has stupid rules of when instant replay can and cannot be used
I agree 10000 percent. I say that it's used properly or it's not used at all..... your idea is great.. but it won't happen. They'll keep doing everything half assed... that's all...
As for the people on this board that say it's better to have instant replay and get it right most of the time instead of not at all.. you may be right in theory, but in reality your not..... instant replay was designed to let the players decide the game.. if it's not near perfect it's useless..
another guy said that most of the times teams are wrong anyways and sometimes they don't use both replays in football... yep, your right again. But that's because they can't use it for THINGS THAT MATTER.... the no replay for the down by contact stupid rule costs somebody a game every other week,,, it's sad and stupid....
the guy above said have 3 guys in the replay booth... I say have 1staring at the screen ... between the refs on the field and the guy in the booth. it's all goood...
aliens suggested 3 guys...

itsjustme: You are missing the point. Look there are obvious reasons they cannot review certain plays. If a player is ruled down by contact the whistle blow and everyone stops playing, how are you going to review that? Are you going to say, well there was an open lane and he would have run 50 yards to the touchdown so lets just give him a touchdown?
Sometimes bad calls are still made but there is simply no way to tell how things would have happened had that call not been made on the spot, and review is not going to change that. But just because of that you do not scrap the entire system. It's not like the replay that we have now negatively impacts the game. What we do have helps so why get rid of it.
Hey I have an idea: since they can't get the game perfectly right every time, lets just not even play it.

how's this idea for ya? Sports were around and very successful for an eternity way before replay came around. And yeah, unless replay is going to make it perfect, there is no point picking your spots.
As for the down by contact, your the one missing my point. What about when a guy fumbles the ball, it's recovered by the opposition, but the ref says down by contact when in fact he WASN'T down ? It should be a fumble right? I'm not saying they should let him run it in after the replay, i'm saying the guy that fumbled should lose possession. Just like if they call it a fumble but a replay shows he was down, they reverse it. They can't have it both ways,,, or hummm ,, maybe they can?
