Watched the LA feed of that game, and their announcers were pissed off about that call.
Then you really ing suck at counting. He took two steps after he picked up his dribble, which is perfectly legal in the NBA.

Learn how to read. That was not the OP's point.
Safe space poster still trying to talk sh**.
Pause it and you'll see he's stepping right as he stops the dribble. Some are calling that an allowable "gather step." Dunno about that; but should we not count that one, it is three steps after that. It's a travel; and it's not even debatable.
It is no secret the Clippers are whiny floppers who like to put pressure on the refs until they get calls, and also, love the mid range chucking.
That's like textbook for beating the Spurs.
I didn't watch the game, but I'm really, really, really stunned that anyone would think that a game officiated by Ed Malloy was poorly officiated.
Stunned, I say.
Except that it isn't, at best it's two steps, and everybody who has ever watched a basketball game knows that's not a travel. But whatever. That "bad call" is the reason the Spurs lost by 24 points.
Per NBA rules i see no traveling.
"When ending his dribble a player may use a two count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting."
I clearly see three step even after the gather step. Watch the replay and see (pause to count the steps). If you don't see it, I can't help you.

Of course it was. "If only the refs hadn't screwed us and taken the momentum..." HarlemHeat should be glad, though, because you just took the lead for the most pussified post of the year.
If the Spurs had played well, and gotten jobbed by the refs, maybe. Weak, but I've gone there. But that was just a pathetic performance. They were out of sync on both ends of the floor, and the Clippers just dominated. There's no reason to zero in on that one play. The sad thing is, you picked an example that isn't even an travel in the NBA.
Honestly, the main reason I paid any attention to your lame-assed thread is that I thought the "new ownership" must have implemented a censor, when I saw you keep saying "sh**". Here's news for you, dumbass. Everybody knows you mean " ". You may not have typed it, but you made everyone else say it in their heads.
That particular game could have been officiated by Stevie Wonder, and it would have come out the same. The Spurs got curb-stomped. Not like the Utah game where the Jass were just hitting a lot of shots. The Spurs just got whipped by the Clips. Bad night, lot of season left - but that night, the Clippers were just the better team.
Of course it wasn't, head. Did you see any whining in the OP about how the refs cost us the damn game? Nay. And I haven't even reviewed the OP to confirm b/c I know exactly what was going through my mind at the time. My point was that there is no excuse to not make that call and that the league just insults its fan base with that sh**.
Now, when another poster said later that that and other calls f'd with momentum, I didn't disagree. But I also said the Spurs played like sh**, so I wasn't being some bitter asshole that you want to pretend I was being. Are you just trolling, or do you just bother with f'ing facts?
And even by NBA standards, that was an extra step more than what they allow the super stars (in many cases at least). But I won't quivel over whether that's "sad". Sh** should be called; it was blatant. You allow a guy to take four steps from the ing top of the key and of course he's gonna get the and one for 's sake. You're like a frog in the boiling water though; you've been too desensitized to this sh**.
You're spiel on sh** is amusing, but doesn't really move the needle, tbh.
Since nobody is agreeing with you on this, yet you still persist with it, I assume you just need attention. You should ask your mom to set out some clean clothes for you so you can go outside, tbh.
I think OP is right, and technically it is a travel.
