Not worried here.
...that Parker traveled?
Not that it means much, traveling is such a bull , unevenly called rule that only the most blatant of infractions can be ed about. And yeah, leBron and Wade travel nonstop, so one travel by parker doesn't mean .
But how many Spurs fans have manned up and admitted that Parker traveled, maybe more than once on that play?
Not worried here.
Parker rapedPERIOD
Yeah, but, the referees that are paid to officiate the game reviewed the call, it was in fact, a play that did not involve any traveling violations. I only go by facts not gossip.
You definitely should make a thread about Kim K though, would love to talk about her lactating s.
If i want your opinion i'll make a thread about in with other dude's girls while wearing white pants tbh
By making a thread on a public discussion board I assume you take what everybody says with high regards. And I commend you for that.
If wade didn't trip then he him wouldn't have "traveled"
Did he travel or not?
Well, if you quickly check NBA.com and view the game 1 recap you will quickly notice that Parker's last second shot was good, and not a "travel". This is exemplified by the boxscore. Indeed the Spurs total points increased by 2 upon the basketball entering the bucket.
Maradona hand balled to beat England in 86 and he admitted it, that's why he's the GOAT
Spurs got the avail but their fans never admit it, that's why they're spurs fans imho
As long as you keep you dribble going (which Parker did on that play), you can stumble, even go to a knee, and it's not traveling. Them's the rules.
Here's the sequence in slow-motion:
His footwork to get the shot off was clean and not a travelling violation, but I think he got away with an over-carry at the 9-11 second mark, which would probably be impossible to call in real time at game speed for any referee. At the 16 second mark, he bobbles the ball with both hands, it hits the floor, and then he dribbles the ball to regain possession, which I think might be a double-dribble violation, but I'm not sure.
In any event, I don't think an NBA referee would call any kind of violation against any player in that scenario, since no overt infraction occurred. Every thing, from the double-dribble to the over-carry was in the "grey area" so to speak and not clearly defined enough to justify a whistle.
Yup its all about keeping the dribble alive. He took only two steps after he picked said dribble up.
I don't get it, you won the game. You really can't admit he travelled?
Great insight there.
When he went to one knee he was still dribbling with his left hand. At what point are you saying that he traveled? At this point it sounds like you are parroting BS.
He didn't travel.
Have some cheese son...
Where's the travel?
When he gathered up the ball, he established his left foot as the pivot and make a clean turn and up-and-under move to get off the shot. He never picked up his pivot foot during that sequence.
But he did over-carry (which is never called) and might've double-dribbled.
Not saying it was or it wasn't, but if the situation had been reversed and it was LeBron who made the shot, you can rest assured the tears would have flooded the filthy Riverwalk and there'd be a cholera outbreak right about now.
Still bitter OKC lost?
Ya, I had wondered, while watching it live, if both hands had touched the ball when he spun away from Bosh. I rewatched it a few times but from that angle you couldn't tell one way or the other. Ball handlers will often bring the off hand close so they can react quicker if they need to change direction. From a distance it can look like they put both hands on the ball, but that's rarely the case. It's moot though; I guess it's what amounts to conversation for fans whose teams are fishing.
That goes without saying for any fanbase.
But other than this thread, I haven't seen any instance of media or opposing fans calling out the play as a travel. Granted, I wouldn't expect the Miami Heat fanbase (who are 95% filled with fans like Husband Killer and Justin Bieber) to know the difference between a travel and a goaltend, so obviously their ignorance would preclude them from whining in this case, but I think the primary reason there hasn't been much examination and criticism of the play was because it was relatively clean.
But yeah, if the situation was reversed, upstairs would've gone ballistic seeing things that weren't there, just like the Manu flagrant against Memphis, which was a textbook flagrant foul (it wasn't a "hard foul," but Manu did pull Allen's arm down just a bit too much on that play), but the homers convinced themselves it was a clean play and the Spurs got ripped off.
