These L2M reports are just dumb. Looks like Embiid clearly grabs his left wrist, but honestly who cares. That stuff is just lip service. What makes a bad call in the last two minutes more important than in the first two minutes? Not even the best referees can get every call right either.
If you interested in actually improving the game, you grade every single minute of every single regular season game and rate referees accordingly, move them up and down in tiers and assign play-offs/big games accordingly. I´d even go as far as having a random draw out of all tiers, so the NBA can actually not assign certain crews at all.
Me personally I still believe the NBA is most interested in evaluating which officiating crew´s tendencies are giving them the best odds to get a desired outcome in any given play-off situation.
