A review should be able to see and call a foul

Oh they're all bad. The fact you can tell these products create addicts is they offer deals like deposit $10 and will give you $150.

It’s the GB i have every right to post here. I also have a right to my opinion in that I think Mobley is under utilized on offense.


This isn't what you were saying before. You said Mobley is the same player since he first came in the league. That's utter nonsense and you know it.

From a traditional stats point of view he is. Obviously advanced metrics don’t support this but there is no significant leap or jump like a Maxey or Sengun. I kind of hope Mitchell leaves so we can really see what Mobley can do with more touches

This is a terrible loophole that coaches have taken advantage of the last few years. The NBA needs to fix it.

That play is a good example of an issue I have with challenges. It is a terrible rule that Orlando got the ball there. Everyone who played basketball knows the rule should be if the ref missed a foul they shouldn't be awarded the foul. Just a terrible rulebook,.

A new coach can unlock him. Mobley needs people like Mitchell to play off of

I'd get rid of all challenges if I could but if you're allowed challenges that should easily be something you should challenge.
