@Castle Black who posted this in the game thread, I didn't see the entire game as I was watching Lakers game and Blazers/Nuggets game also only seen the end of this what a game at the end - I agree with Castle Black, Kawhi did travel zoom in watch it closely, do you agree?
Look I get it, we don't want games to go longer, but damn this was close as you going to get.
Should there be a challenge per quarter for teams especially if the games are this close?
For the poll it's the same as the title so no confusion lol.
I'm not sure if Pelicans had challenge in the end as again I didn't see most of it, but seen the end - guessing they didn't as they didn't challenge?

Kawhi hit a great shot and saved the game. Nothing compared to Giannis blatant travel that some people somehow think was legal.
This play couldn't be challenged anyway as there was no call to begin with.
I think all challenges should be eliminated except 3 point rulings and clock issues as everything else is too subjective.

Probably wrong, but I thought you could call challenge on travels?

Yes. Less regular timeouts, more challenges. I would say 3 per game with a max of 5 (if challenges are correct).

not sure- but the refs didn't call anything, so you can't challenge

I hate seeing incorrect or missed calls, but I'm not going to advocate for anything that extends how long games are played. I'm already watching 3 hour Pistons games this season, it doesn't need to be 3 and a half.

yes. more challenges.
im good w/ infinite challenges as long as you get them right.
even more so i would like what the nfl pretends to have- last 2 minutes of every game are league reviewed so no challenges needed.
the goal is to try to get all calls right when game is on the line.
not punish a team for not having a challenge because they used it on a bad call earlier in the game.
but this would lead to the nba losing some of its power to control game outcomes...so it wont happen.

No,
Zero challenges ever. Half the time they still get it wrong.
What really kills me is even on League Pass replays they go through the entire excruciating four minutes of people standing around. Waste valuable time of my life fast forwarding. I pity the fools that pay to sit through it.
The NBA had plenty of great decades without it. I don't understand this false delusion of perfection in a world of chaos. Play on.

No games are already way too long. There should be a 30s shot clock on every challenge.
