    Probably MDA will keep the challenge flag on the bench

    It’s 1 challenge per game, so you save it for the last 2 mins imo

    Stupid. Just have a ref sitting on the monitor for boundary calls. No reason a stadium or broadcast viewer should have better looks than the refs. For terrible phantom fouls just start the play over out of bounds. This isn’t hard....

    What's the rationale in not allowing a team to keep its challenge when its successful?

    I'll note that non-calls on defenders who foul our shooters can not be challenged, apparently.

    If they're going to add this, they should do it right.

    This implementation is pretty damn half-assed. At least it's a start, I suppose...

    MDA will do less adjustments but will challenge the hell out of these flags!

    This doesn't benefit any one team over another. It's good for the NBA to have a mechanism for reversing bad calls. I've wanted to see this happen forever.

    The problem is you can not use it in the last 2 minutes and there are only 4 instances you can use it for. This will not allow a challenge on non-calls so the Klay dirty plays or last play by Draymond on Harden cannot be reviewed. It’s a dumb ass rule, half assed and insincere attempt at a real change.

    1 per game isnt nearly enough but every change in the right direction is welcome
