The inbounding-off-the-rim incident --

Media doing game reports are usually on very tight deadlines -- sometimes just five minutes after the game. There is little time for analysis or, apparently, even for proofreading. There was even a plan in the works at ESPN to have the drafts compiled by artificial intelligence -- I don't know if they have ever actually tried to implement that or not. If they have, this looks like it might be the result of that kind of composition.
Despite the time requirements, ESPN should be ashamed of a work product like that. Considering I can make observations on my own timetable, if I can't do better than that, I should hang it up.
If I want to read actual meaningful analysis of a game, I usually wait an hour or two afterward, and then consult sources that do that sort of thing. Which usually doesn't include ESPN, except for an occasional long-form article. I use nba.com for game stats.
