I dunno if they're calling it anymore; but that two-hand dribble by DeRozan at the start is a double dribble.

Look again. The ball only hit the floor once. No way that can be a double dribble.

I'm assuming he means a carry. Once that second hand goes on the ball, you're not supposed to be able to dribble. He takes two dribbles on that play: one immediately when he catches it, and the other after it looks like he's already started his gather move.

Derozans first move is not a carry. He did one quick dribble and picked it up while to the basket. The Walker injury cross over was definitely a double dribble. Hit the ball with his right then left before the ball hits the ground. Looked pretty though.

He did two dribbles. Look at the replay of the play (rather than the first playthrough during live game action). It's one thing to think it was still legal, but he literally dribbled twice.

This first play? I see one pass one dribble then a lay up. It's not a double because it was his first dribble.

I think I was wrong here. The "first dribble" looks like him catching the pass. From the replay, the angle makes it look like a dribble DeRozan took.

Ah. Yea. It was a bang bang play for sure. I'm sure Popovich loved it. It was very impressive imo.

He caught the ball with two hands, put it on the floor once, caught it with both hands, took a step and went up...

Bouncing the ball with two hands (once) is a violation; again, I don't think that's been called for a long time in the NBA though.

No. Bouncing it TWICE with two hands is. If what you say were true, you could never catch a pass with two hands and then put the ball on the deck. There has never been a rule that you had to catch the ball with one hand in order to preserve your right to dribble - or on the back end of this play any rule that prohibits picking up your dribble with two hands and going to the hole. Or a rule that you had to dribble the ball more than one bounce.

Yea, you're right now that I think about it. Pretty sure.
