This is a new feature from the NBA. It shows how the league graded its officials for the calls and no-calls during crunch time of close games. I would bet that this will eventually be expanded.
Here is an early test case for this system. The Rockets are steamed about this no-call on Harden last night, which may have changed the outcome of the game against the Grizzlies:
Later today, the NBA has to post the report card for the officials, including that particular no call. It will be interesting to see what the NBA says and how everyone reacts to it.

Anybody with insomia should read this. Very interesting, the detail the league goes to.
But getting through the material is intensive. Reminds me of government bills purposely so large that it helps hide the ugly details. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
True, but I'm not going to complain about a little transparency. I wouldn't read every one of these reports. Still, it is interesting to see how much detail is in the league's reports, and it is refreshing to see that the refs got tagged for that awful no-call on Harden. Wouldn't it be interesting to see some of the reports from Kobe's prime?

4 bad calls against one team in the last 72 seconds is impressive even for the nba _________________ I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong

Donaghy reffing game 6 of Laker-Kings playoff series in 2002 would be interesting.
Same goes for the 2006 nba finals where Wade averaged over 16 free throw attempts a game. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

I'm not sure about the one with 1:12 left. They say that Gasol moved his pivot foot, but they score it a CNC. They don't explain why.
The * implies that you'd need to review the play to see it, and since they can't review a travel, that the call gets a pass. _________________ I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong

I didnt get it either. Even his initial hop step can technically be ruled a travel and he took at least 3 steps after that. I thought that was the most egregious missed call of that whole group.
