Reffing is a disgrace. L2M report is a joke because in short they bend over backwards to defend the actual calls when the real issue (which any coach and player will confirm) is consistency
While refs are humans and thus will make mistakes, the lack of accountability and transparency is a joke — ESPECIALLY since they advertise gambling during games.

Obviously we have been decimated by injuries and trades...
It is not clickbait when we have people on the bench that can come in and give the starters a break. There was no reason for Donte to play 41 of a possible 43 minutes last night before his injury. The starters played all of the third and started the 4th except Sims. that can't happen. We are going to run down the remaining players and then they will be injured by the time the now injured players are back.
I agree. Maybe you lose the battle, but we need to keep our guys available for the war (post season). All Star break is coming up and hopefully our guys can heal up some then.
In a tie or close ball game, you have McBride and Burks as guards off bench.
Knicks power players today are Sims, Precious, Taj.
Players available after that are Bogs and Gleaguers.
Pickings are thin.
Knicks filing a protest according to Woj
Look - I hope they can play the overtime and win, but Martin - Gamepicker has to stay! I got 8 points!!!!

Rules for an actual replay are kind of complicated. Seems like they only happen for technical mistakes, not bad calls.

If the NBA decided the teams should play overtime, I wonder if we get to play players that were on the injured list the night the refs screwed the pooch.

I think they would have to let us- because the opposite could be true- players who played subsequently injured.
The bigger question - do we get stuck with the same refs that screwed the pooch? And do they need to repay their sports book if we win?
last time a protest was granted it concerned SHaq. the refs said he fouled out, but he only had 5. When they resumed the game, he was no longer with Magic, which if kind of funny since the whole point was they ejected him with a minute left when he otherwise would have played.
so i think the precedent is you play whoever is on your team at the time the game is resumed.

Wait, I didn't even think of this. This would totally screw sports betting. Does the NBA let The betting industry dictate the result of the protest. You know they will be lobbying to deny the protest.
There were so many no calls that went against the Knicks in that game that should be obvious the refs put their thumb on the scale in Houstons favor for some reason
