Andy Larsen summarized all MISSED calls for and against every NBA team in the Last Two Min reports

I love that the NBA has started doing these reports, though. It's definitely a step in the right direction.

Maybe it's already being done behind closed doors, but the next obvious step is applying a ranking system for each individual referee (based on the blown calls already being tracked by the NBA). Then, at the end of the year, say the 13 lowest ranking refs out of 64 (~ bottom 20%) are put on probation (or fired if they are on the bottom 20% for consecutive seasons). Wouldn't this keep all refs, including old-timers/veterans, from resting on their laurels and becoming complacent/lazy?

I assume they are keeping track of which official is responsible for each call, but I'm not sure. There are probably some missed calls where they aren't able to determine that.

Topic title should say "All the MISSED calls..."

Guess which team ranks dead last by a decent margin.

I'm gonna guess without looking : Golden State.



EDIT after looking: I knew Utah would lead but I didn't know how they sorted it and that if they used a difference parameter so I failed. I thought the Warriors would be the team that got their committed fouls got called for THE LEAST and GOT AWAY WITH IT. (why the heck did I use so many capitals back there?)

So according to this, OKC is the most favored right? But this table includes the committed fouls. Are those the fouls committed by the given team or are they the number of fouls that they drew and get called? Because the number of fouls you have committed and the number of ones you draw are usually determined by your style of playing. I mean how many times does Westbrook explodes to the rim and yells "AND ONE!" ?

Committed in this context refers to the amount of missed calls (not necessarily fouls) that the team benefitted from.

They have a ranking system which is how the playoff games refs are selected

Do you know how the ranking system works? Are the lowest ranked officials penalized in any way (other than not being able to officiate playoff games)? I'm curious to know how this works...
 
I believe this can be affected by the franchise's main men's influence over the association and the ref club. There are not so many things you can do to change the way things are right now as a player or a coach. But if the officials are shivering from getting on your bad side as the owners or GM, then you can make a difference.
 
Whenever I watch Jazz games I always feel like the refs screw us over, but I attributed a lot of that to a biased view. It seems like every fanbase gripes about the refs....but this makes me feel like I am actually seeing things as they really are. Still sucks that we get screwed over by the refs....but at least its not in my head
 
Over my years of watching the Jazz, there's been a lot of games every season where I distinctly remember thinking "Man, we are getting a pretty favorable whistle tonight."

This season, that has virtually never happened.
 
Because it's unclear from the graphic, are these all calls in the last 2 minutes of close games or only the calls that have been deemed incorrect?
