Episode notes

- The Rockets–Sixers endgame showed replay inconsistency undermining trust in officiating.
- The crew's failure to review an obvious goaltend turned a clear call into chaos and affected the game's finish.

- Draymond Green's declining mobility is creating destructive on-court incidents.
- His fouls and ejections swing momentum and sometimes cost the Warriors games despite his veteran value.

- That balance has improved Philly's net rating even if Embiid isn't the pre-injury version of himself.
