Show me the travel..

I don't even watch the game, but that's massive travel based on that gif.. pumping and still take a full step, da fuk.

This notion that Indiana deserves credit for Ray Allen missing wide open shots is quite funny.

ray allen is trash so that was good strategy cloving

 

[rando14]

Oh HAI guys, remember when i said the heat would start breaking down after this third run to the finals? Heat-age laughed but don't look now...bosh hobbling, wade knee, chalmers bruised.....last man standing is lebron.

wtf are you talking about, it's an even series and heat still have hca

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

It's not that they deserve credit for the miss, but I'm sure they're factoring in the fact that it's better to give up a Ray Allen 3 than an open lane to the basket or one on one against the players that matter.

Except Heavy was arguing that Indiana deserves the credit for winning. My point is it's not as simple as that. Indiana played a better game but Miami players playing shitty is also a factor.

I see 3 steps before he dribbles.

This is the dumbest post in the last 10 pages.

It was a perfect fucking step back. Then the three went in. Fuck it though.

 

[BadAss2961]

Somebody needs to either drain Wade's knee or have Tom Crean fly with him to Miami

Or maybe we should just literally insert Mike Miller in his spot and tell LeBron to go 1 in 4 out and just do his thing

lol with the knee. Every time Wade starts playing like shit there's some mysterious injury that turns on and off from possession to possession.

Oh you mean the same knee that's been bothering him his whole career?

What the hell are you going on about?

 

[effzee]

Wtf is this. I didnt know ALL Heat fans are superior human beings who don't dabble in the same kind of frivolous and petty complaints as Heat Haters. Who's your HEAT fan messiah imposing such strict moral superiority?

Are you kidding me? There are Heat fans complaining about the calls yes but no one is claiming the fix was in against the Heat or that those two calls alone cost them the game. That is what you first claimed HEAT FANS were doing. They aren't. That doesn't mean they can't point out the calls were questionable.

Every single game, esp involving the Heat, these threads are a constant bitching session about the refs and how Stern wants the Heat to win. Now when it is evident the calls are even, bad on both sides, and the Pacers are actually going to the FT line more, you want to imagine the Heat fans using the refs as an excuse?


Go do some studying or something you don't make any sense.

I see 3 steps before he dribbles.

The call was on the step back move not when he caught the ball.

He took 3 steps before he dribbled.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Bolton stop being a Heat apologist.

 

[iamshadowlark]

It's two.

 

[jobber]

I'm just wondering how the Spurs were able to sell Finals tickets today when they could be hosting 3 4 and 5 or hosting 1 and 2.
Weird.

 

[Vestal]

I see 3 steps before he dribbles.

that was a 2 step gather landing to a pivot then a dribble. Not to mention the call was on the step back

 

[Byakuya769]

Heat are always fucking up my routine. Should have just done some work tonight.

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol with the knee. Every time Wade starts playing like shit there's some mysterious injury that turns on and off from possession to possession.

At least he tries to play, unlike Derek Rose

NBA 2012/13 Rule book.
http://mediacentral.nba.com/media/mediacentral/Official-NBA-Rule-Book.pdf

A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble,
may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step.

.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I kind of hope the Heat actually do win this series because Heat-Spurs could be really good.

Hibbert/West/George would be completely shut down by Duncan/Splitter/Leonard and the series would be over in 5 games with the Pacers breaking 80 once in this series so that wouldn't be interesting.

But the chance for the Roy Hibbert Finals MVP...

That's because nobody here actually likes your basketball team, if the Pacers were to advance you'd be alone in your circle-jerk of fuckball

But Roy Hibbert plays for the Pacers

 

[Black Mamba]

It's two.

How is it two. He takes 2 steps after the handoff the pumps a d uses his right foot to take a step back. 3 steps and a travel.

 

[reilo]

Bro, you can't just waltz five steps and then start dribbling. The hell Vestal?

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Bolton stop being a Heat apologist.

I'm not being a Heat apologist as I'm no fan of the franchise. I just think the continual complaining about every facet of their game and their players gets tiring. They played bad tonight. The Pacers played better. It's not an either or situation.

 

[jobber]

lol that guy is the new

YEAH YEAH WE DID IT

 

[theignoramus]

It's not that they deserve credit for the miss, but I'm sure they're factoring in the fact that it's better to give up a Ray Allen 3 than an open lane to the basket or one on one against the players that matter.

Indiana doesnt want Ray Allen shooting uncontested threes. no team does. the guy's the GOAT three point shooter and commands the respect of a defender

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

He took 3 steps before he dribbled.

ehhh It could be argued he didn't have control of the ball until after the first step.

Two steps, dribble, establishes his right as his pivot then it leaves the groudn on the step back. It's a travel, but in today's NBA where you're allowed 3 steps on a dunk attempt, that's probably a no call.

Could be wrong, as I don't spend tons of time reading and interpreting the rule book.

Thank you Dr. J for being the only sane person on TNT.

Dude was skipping around catching alley-oops and getting put-back dunks just the other day.

thank you look at his feet and the ball. You just made my point.

 

[iamshadowlark]

He took 3 steps before he dribbled.

He picks up the ball while his right foot is planted. He plants exactly two more times.

I don't even watch the game, but that's massive travel based on that gif.. pumping and still take a full step, da fuk.

Da fuk? You can dribble after you pump...

Nobody wants uncontested threes that's not what I'm saying. But, the Pacers are great at closing out against the three. That's what their defensive scheme is about. Helping on defense and getting back to your man in time to defend the three.

Edit: But also the Pacers would rather give up an uncontested three by an older Ray Allen than any shot by Lebron or Wade. Ever since Lebron has been in the league we've been about letting Lebron get his shot and forcing his teammates to beat us.

 

[Emwitus]

thank you look at his feet and the ball. You just made my point.

He took two steps after he recieved the pass then came to a stop, after which he dribbled. The rules say that's a travel.

EDIT: And for some weird reason i can't see your gif.

 

[Tom Penny]

That wasn't a travel just like the ball wasn't off Ray Allen to give them that possession.

 

[Vestal]

Thank you Dr. J for being the only sane person on TNT.

what did j say?

 

[obijkenobi]

Damn

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

what did j say?

Fuck da Heat

 

[jobber]

Da fuk? You can dribble after you pump...

if you establish your pivot foot to be planted when receiving the pass

 

[TheKaeptain]

Man Bron's hairline is fucked.

 

[Black Mamba]

that was a 2 step gather landing to a pivot then a dribble.

Which is a travel.

A player who receives the ball while moving is allowed a two count rhythm but must release the ball prior to the third step touching the floor.

[Darkman M]

That wasn't a travel just like the ball wasn't off Ray Allen to give them that possession.

Hilbert's hook shot didn't touch rim either.

 

[BadAss2961]

Man Bron's hairline is fucked.

lol

 

[Cloudy]

Man Bron's hairline is fucked.

I'm pretty sure the constant headband is what's making him go bald. Let your head breathe!

 

[Vestal]

http://www.nba.com/nba101/misunderstood_0708.html

he didn't have the ball till mid way through the motion.


not to mention that wasn't even what the travel was called for.

 

[MiamiWesker]

what did j say?

Basically that the NBA is a star driven league and usually the team with the best players will win.

 

[Black Mamba]

Could be wrong, as I don't spend tons of time reading and interpreting the rule book.

You don't get two steps anyway you get a two count which he obviously had. There is no pivot when you catch on the move like that. You can't have any foot take a step. Check out my last post quoting it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Andrew Goudelock has as many 20 point games this postseason as Wade

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Anyway, it's been fun. Even with all the shit talking. I'll probably be back next game if I'm not black out drunk, or whenever I get drunk enough to come back.
