Dwyane Wade is definitely not a fan of the NBA's "Last Two Minute Report."
The NBA issues these reports reviewing officials' calls for any game within five points at the two-minute mark of regulation or overtime. Thursday, the league issued its report on Wednesday's Hornets-Heat playoff game. The report found officials were correct in not calling a foul on Cody Zeller or Courtney Lee when they made contact with Wade in the closing seconds of the Hornets' 90-88 victory. Wade lost the ball out of bounds. Wade and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra were livid afterward that a foul had not been called.

When asked about the report Friday, Wade told reporters such reviews are "pointless."
"Those last two-minute (reports), to me, are pointless," Wade said, via ESPN. "It does nothing for us or for any other team. Go through the whole game and break it down, and I think it will help the refs and the league continue to grow. But those last two minutes, that's not a good thing."
If anything, Wade said the reports are misleading because they overlook all the potential missed calls the rest of the game.

"It's easy to go back and Monday-morning-quarterback things," Wade said. "There's a lot of times when I go back and look and I say, 'They (referees) were right.' Sometimes I go back and say, 'They were wrong.' Go through the whole game and be transparent the whole game. It's a lot that can happen through the whole game that can affect the last two minutes. It's not just the last two minutes."
Wade's former teammate LeBron James agreed when asked about the issue after the Cavaliers' practice Friday.
"When they said they made a call or missed a call or a call should've been made in the last two minutes, I think it sends a bad message to our fans of thinking the game is only won in the last two minutes," James said. "A play in the first quarter is just as important as a play in the last four seconds. That's how playoff basketball is played, that's how the game of basketball should be played. And I think for the youth, the kids that love the game so much, I don't think they should hear that, 'Oh, it's OK to talk about the last two minutes (whether) calls (were) missed.'
"We should talk about the whole game, if that's the case, because the whole game matters. You miss an assignment in the first quarter, it can hurt you in the fourth quarter. So, I'm not fond of it all."
