I do think in this day and age

ORLANDO, Fla. NHL Jerseys Sale . -- At this point in the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping to make one last run at the playoffs and the Orlando Magic are looking for luck in the NBA draft lottery. Both improved their chances of reaching those goals Wednesday night as the Cavaliers beat the Magic 119-98 behind 26 points from Dion Waiters and 20 each from Spencer Hawes and Tristan Thompson. The easy win moved the Cavaliers within two games of New York and Atlanta for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs play at Atlanta Friday night. "This was a big game for us, but every game is big because of the position weve put ourselves in," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "There is nothing tricky that we have to do. We just have to out and play hard and give ourselves a chance." Waiters shot 10 for 15 from the field, including 3 for 3 on 3-pointers. "Weve still got a chance, we just need to take full advantage of it," he said. "We came in knowing we should get a win, but every game is hard. We have no choice at this point. We control our own destiny. Everybody knows what is at stake. We just have to stay focused." It helped the Cavaliers that All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned with a thump in his step after missing the last eight games with a torn bicep muscle. Irving had 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds in a seemless transition from the bench to the court. "Kyrie came in and got right in step with us," Brown said. "He helped us get the ball up the floor quickly and get into our attack. He gave us another weapon with a very high skill level." The Magic had little to be satisfied with other than solidifying their lottery spot with the third-worst record in the NBA. The Magic gave up 70 points in the first half, the best half all season for Cleveland and the most points Orlando has allowed in a half this year. "There is going to be a game in the course of the year where you just dont have it and when its coupled with a team like the Cavs who had it ... it just wasnt a good mix," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Some days, its just not your day." The Magic placed only one starter, Maurice Harkless, in double figures and he had 10 points. Rookie Victor Oladipo led Orlando with 16 points, Doron Lamb had 14, Tobias Harris 11 and ETwaun Moore 10, all off the bench. "Terrible, terrible game," Harris said. "Its not how we wanted to play and that shows us that there is no effort." Every Cleveland player in uniform scored as the Cavs shot 60.5 per cent in the first half and 57.7 per cent for the game in rolling over a defenceless Magic team that lost its second straight. Cleveland was 9 for 18 from beyond the 3-point line, most of them wide-open looks as Orlando struggled with defensive rotations the entire game. Cleveland had four of the five starters already in double figures by halftime. Hawes was 6 for 8 in the first two periods, including 4 for 5 on 3-pointers on his way to 18 points. Thompson had 14, Irving 13 and Waiters 10 as the Cavaliers starters combined to hit 24 of 33 shots (72.7 per cent) in the first two quarters. Deng was the only starter not in double figures, but still shot 4 for 5. The Magic, by contrast, didnt have a player score more than six points in the first half. Orlando had 11 turnovers that Cleveland turned into 16 points. The Magic trailed 49-42 after Oladipos 3-pointer with 6:11 left in the second quarter, but got only one field goal the rest of the half and were outscored 21-6 as Cleveland rolled to a 70-47 halftime lead. The closest Orlando got in the second half was 17 when Arron Afflalos 3 with 4:11 left in the third quarter made it 82-65. Afflalo, the Magics leading scorer this season, finished with seven points. Cleveland responded with a 10-0 run that started with a floater in the lane by Jack and ended with two free throws by Thompson to make it 92-65. Cleveland led by as many 28 points and cruised through the fourth quarter with little effort. NOTES: Cavs C Anderson Varajeo sat out the game with a sore shoulder. ...

Nevertheless, I do think in this day and age, with modern times where we have technology that can take out the human factor in certain key situations in big games, that we should use that technology to do so.With the Lions up 20-17 and in Dallas territory, referee Pete Morelli initially announced a pass interference penalty on Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens. Then officials reversed themselves, leaving Detroit facing fourth down.The Lions punted, and Dallas drove for the winning touchdown.Im angry about it, and trying to keep my composure here, but Im probably angry for our team, and the fans, Caldwell said. Thats the thing that stirs your blood.Coaches arent allowed to signal for replay reviews of potential pass interference calls, but Caldwell indicated Monday hed like to see the league allow more reviews if possible.For the sake of time, and those kinds of things in a game ... you have to have some boundaries, Caldwell said. I do think that particularly in big games and down the stretch, and playoffs, and things of that nature, Im not certain there should be a limit on when you can review.Caldwell said the league reached out to him after the game, although he did not say what was discussed.Dean Blandino, the leagues director of officials, told The Associated Press on Monday that there have been proposals to expand the use of replay reviews foor personal fouls. Clearance NHL Jerseys. There also have been proposals to allow coaches to challenge any call.The history always has been ever since the first iteration of replay is that we were dealing with fact and not judgment, he said. Subjective calls ... that was something the competition committee felt should not be part of replay and that has been the guideline ever since.Recently there has been more conversation about adding some of those subjective calls to reviewable plays with the technology we have now. On the play Sunday, Morelli said the head linesman believed there wasnt enough contact for a penalty, so none was called even though the back judge had thrown a flag.I just think that were all human and were all affected by our surroundings, environment, big game, issues, noise, etc., Caldwell said. Its going to be hard for anybody to convince me otherwise, and I think in that particular case we should try to take as much of the human factor out as we possibly can.The Lions punted after the sequence, and the Cowboys drove to the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter.I want to be really respectful about this answer, Dallas coach Jason Garrett said Monday. Were talking about the wrong stuff. Were talking about officiating after a game. I would like to think that I would say that when the call goes against us, and certainly want to say it when the call goes for us. Theres a lot of calls in a game that impact the game and we never really try to get caught up with those as coaches and players.___AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner and Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this story.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
