1. What are the reasons (or excuses) that NBA does not use more replays to help the officials, like NFL does?(currently they only use it to correct clock, I think)

Well, the main thing is that reviewable plays in football almost always involve location - of the ball or of players. If the NBA went to replay, soon people are going to want every foul, every travel - called or percieved but not called - to be reviewed.
In addition, football lends itself to reviews, where basketball does not. You always have time between downs in football, while you might go three minutes without a whistle in basketball. With a travel - when do you review a travel that wasn't called?
