I really try to limit my comments to the teams playing. Don't like to bring up poor reffing, although Aimaq's last foul was really questionable.

But why did it take five freakin' minutes to determine that Aimaq's last foul occurred before the shot clock ran out? It should have taken 30 seconds. I know I'm an older guy and it was past my bedtime but these reviews in these games have become absurd. Half of the reviews shouldn't even be reviewed, and the ones that are reviewed take FOREVER. Its really become a horrible process and is ruining games. Refs take 5 minutes to determine that there is a double foul. Now you can go back in time and review and reverse goal tending. I know the idea is to get the calls right but the process is really flawed. Really hard to watch.

I tend to agree. I think if there were a time limit on any review it would be great. In other words, if you cannot see something that should reverse the call on the field/court in one minute then the call on the field/court stands. Very simple.

Couple the reviews plus the media timeouts, plus the four each coach gets and we are getting into 2 1/2 hours per game...Last night with it after midnight exaggerated how some of this is...Getting to the point where players hardly have to be in shape they get so much down time (sarcastic)

Being at the game, the reviews were ridiculously slow and of course, there was no explanation of what they were reviewing. *** was the play with 4 technicals? I didn't see anything live that would have warranted that.

Because you had a retired NFL referee
