Bruh the ref looks allergic to Markannen. He could use his whistle to separate them a bit so he can have room lmao

We should bring in Streetball rules.. Shoot for possession.

Or dodge ball rules: Have the starting line up on their baseline, put the ball on the floor at the center, blow whiles starts a mad dash to grab the ball.

Make it spicy, it has to be a deep two and each team has to send out their player with the worst FG% to take them

Wow that’s horrible

Refs are consistently terrible at jump balls. This legitimately happens every game and I don't know why they don't find a fix.

Does he always stop a step short of the line or was this game different? I laughed at first because the first one was so bad, but when both of the jump balls are off-line in almost the exact same spot it definitely looks kinda sus. It probably wouldn't be that hard to find the last time this guy threw a jump ball and then compare the clips. Like what did the beginning of the game look like?

Why the hell don’t we just use a possession arrow lol

At half court, right at the center of the circle, have a ball shooting machine hidden by a floor hatch that shoots the ball straight up really consistently via pneumatics. It'll shoot the ball up a slightly randomized but regulation distance range (let's say 12' - 15' just to make sure it's out of Wemby's vert reach) at a slightly randomized timing, and the two jumpers can only touch it on the way down.

I'm sure this is not the only possible solution. It's not that difficult, NBA. Get your shit together.

Can we make jump balls 20ft high? Like really ping it up there. Then it will be more obvious when this shit happens.

Yeah, that’s weird

[–] C0WM4N@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Could be the difference
