[Highlight] David Adelman tries to sub in a player before the 2nd quarter begins, being ignored, and he gets on the floor, calling a timeout just 5 seconds into the 2nd quarter.
He also have some words with the referee
The Refs should be paying attention lol
I think Adelman’s sub was way too late, usually the player has to be in the sub box and has to inform the scorer first. And then the ref has to tell them to come onto the court.
Obviously this clip doesn’t give us a whole view of what went down. Just seems like too late of a substitution if Adelman is screaming “Wait” to me haha.
I think he was doing that out of spite because Hornets took a long ass time for a sub without getting charged a timeout before this
Oh so he’s like, well they took forever to make a sub. might as well do one as well kind of thing?
The subs have to go to the table before the 1st horn during the quarter. Sub was way late
Adelman has so much time to make this sub, this is for sure on him
Adelman talks about it in the postgame presser. He’s trying to match his subs to specific Hornets for matchup reasons. However, when Adelman gets the good matches on the floor, the Hornets sub out the guy for whom he’s trying to get the good match up. Adelman then subs out his “match” guy, then the Hornets sub in their player. Rinse, repeat. He said they had subbed like 3 times each to start the quarter. He calls the timeout because the Hornets subbed in and Adelman wasn’t allowed to match.
The coaches are just fighting over putting the same guys on the court at the same time. Adelman’s point postgame is the league has to talk about and decide who is right here cause currently there’s no policy on who gets last sub.
The Sixers were essentially screwed out of any chance to win a game when the refs ignored our coaches clear and obvious attempts to call a timeout at the end of a game when you’d obviously be calling a timeout. Refs fans eating this year.
We need a refs flair for this sub. They are their own force now.
There is a ref flair. It’s the thunder flair
Yeah, fuck those guys.
Do we really need it? Who is voluntarily throwing on a ref flair?
Same thing happened to the Hornets the other day
Seems like Adelman was the one not paying attention.
I also want to mention that PWat drove to the rim, got smacked, Brandon Miller puts up his hand to own a foul (rare for any player) and the refs didn’t give free throws. But nuggets can’t rebound this game
Charlotte is playing very hungry and physical lately
Nba refs love that and ignore physical play for those teams
Denver isn’t being allowed to play physical this game though
I’ve been watching more football than basketball tonight but in the few minutes I’ve watched this game I’ve never seen my team have a better whistle lmao. Refs are actually giving us calls. I couldn’t believe my eyes
lol Denver is playing like shit don’t blame refs
Two things can be true, they’ve been blowing the whistle aggressively from the start
Yea, shoothing under 10% when Denver is a literal 40-45% three point shooting team is not because of the refs, yeah the refs help but it would have helped if we didnt brick WIDE as shit open 3s.
that has like nothing to do with it
Nuggs getting the belt
you are not supposed to wait until right before a quarter starts and you see who the other team has out before you sub, there is a whole timeout between quarters and your sub is not supposed to delay the start of the quarter at all. Refs deemed that Adelman took too long to initiate the substitution and rightfully started the quarter on time, simple at that.
Yeah I never want to defend refs but I don’t blame them here
100%
Scott Foster did something similar with us regarding a TO and challenge which he didn’t grant us.
By rule, can that even be done to start a quarter? Maybe there is no rule for what has never been attempted. He had an entire break to get in the lineup that he wanted.
I understand the frustration, but you can’t walk on the court like that, man. T him up!
Denver on a b2b only has 10 players available and no center.
If NBA was a functioning league Denver would call their 3rd center Moses Brown up from G league and field a functional team tonight
Love a pro sports league that charge 500 a ticket yet have teams fielding 9 or 10 guys many nights. Or signing part time players to 10 day contracts to fill their roster.
NBA is amateur hour compared to every other sport
Teams should have 25 active players under team control and constant flows of depth.
Have an injured reserve and dress 15 players every night.
Idk, MLB is a dogshit product recently
MLb knows how to run a league though.
And they’ve supported grassroots majorly.
What has the NBA done for the game?
2nd tier Portugal league paying more than G league.
You have teams with 6 or 7 of their 15 man injured and no real farm team to support depth so you end up with skeleton squads
What other sport has no injured reserve and teams fielding 66% of a normal roster many nights
Remember, that basketball is the world’s 2nd most played sport and wasn’t even top 20 when MJ was drafted.
What were the 20 sports bigger than basketball in 84 lol ya right.
NBA obviously has exploded the popularity of the game but I think their development system and structure still needs a ton of work.
A team can lose a third of their roster and have no real way to fill rest of their roster without waiving guys.
Very common for 5 of 15 guys to be out.
2 ways are a good first step but a ton more can be done still
What has the NBA done for the game? 2nd tier Portugal league paying more than G league.
Overseas leagues are not paying that much without the NBA lol
Dunno bout that. Spain Greece soviets yugoslavia have basketball histories going back years.
Those countries also just know how to run sports leagues and grassroots development.
USA is also incredible at that obviously. But NFL and NBA sort of have this 1 contract and u stay or go thing.
Getting a second chance in either league can be very tough. Both leagues could benefit from investing in their farm systems much more
It’s not the NBA’s job to keep a team healthy, that is on the team.
If 18 roster spots is not enough to field a team for 1⁄82 games, that’s on your squad homie.
Talk about complaining just to complain lol. I can assure you that fans aren’t disappointed that G-League extraordinaire Moses Brown isn’t playing. Nor do they care about teams fielding 9 or 10 players. In the playoffs, that’s like the max number of players that most teams will even play.

Its a league wide problem.
More roster spots means more development and more depth. Which is good for everyone.
Basketball is a skill game. Development doesnt stop at 22.
But the way that NBA is set up is if you dont make it by 22 youre gone and you will sign 1 yesr contracts rest of life most likely.
Basketball should have much much more talent and development worldwide and in the NBA but the structure isnt tjere.
And its the NBAs job to grow the game
Where’s Chris Finch when we need him
Probably blaming refs for his losses as usual
He kinda looks like murr from impractical jokers
surprised he didnt get a tech with how soft these refs are
Refs have been so bad this year
Every game, refs are out to lunch. Time to start penalizing them.
