I guess no one saw Lebron travel tonight

[SundayTiger]

Since the Cavs lost no one will really talk about it, but with under a minute to play, down 2, Lebron took the ball inside and kicked it out to Delonte West who drained the three to put the Cavs up by 1.

Before the pass Lebron took two steps, then did a jump stop shuffling both feet, clearly it was a travel that was not called. If the Cavs would have won this game Orlando fans would be talking about that play for the next decade (kinda like us Wizards fans do now from game 6, 4 years ago).

I checked youtube for a clip but saw nothing posted yet. I have the game recorded on my DVR. Is there anyway I can pull the video from the DVR to the computer?

If anyone knows or can find a clip please post it.

Didn't see the play you mentioned but are the Ref's ruining the game or are they going to let the prisoners run the asylum?

This is something that happens at least every other pocesscion or at least 20x's each game since playground ball became the NBA ---

urk urk...I'm sure that all the white players in the NBA would join me in thanking you for your post up to that last snide drop

Not the refs. They're only doing what Stern tells them to do, look the other way when a star travels. All the good stars travel. It's good for the entertainment of the game.

LeBron didn't travel, it was a home game for the Cavs, wasn't it?

This is exactly the reason the NBA is unwatchable. It is not basketball anymore.

The college game is headed down the same road, by the way.

stars have been traveling and pushing off since the mj days, nothing new.

its the crab dribble dude.

now that is a good one!

 

[howid]

the eagle eyed refs did get howard for travelling though lol.

 

[texansfan]

He didn't travel, it was a home game...

 

[barman]

None of us were really worried about the travel.

What we wanted to see was if he could pull off that tight pass in a last second crowd of players and if West could then drain the three with game on the line.

They did both. If West misses the shot or if the pass gets blocked, no one would be evaluating LJ's moves on this one.

Travelling in the NBA not being called? Never!
