Ya they all fall into that subjective territory
JJJ did get a hand on the ball Tillman ended up with, but it looks like Olynyk first lost it against Tillmans body. Had JJJ picked it up, I’d definitely give the steal to him, but since it ultimately was just a loose ball that Olynyk lost, I’d probably credit whoever ended up with it with the steal. It doesn’t really seem like anyone forced it as much as Olynyk just lost control.

As for the last one, ya if they consider that a change of possession then it’s a steal, but I feel like most clock operators wouldn’t have reset the shot clock there. JJJ never had clear possession, the ball was loose and he just tried to keep it in bounds. But again, not egregious and I certainly wouldn’t yell conspiracy if this was the extent of the examples. I’d need like 10 times as many examples.
