So the NBA is cracking down hard on Travels

[Uitomy]

Those Carries and travels is what makes most the players seem like they impossible to touch

This whole "let's draw even more headlines during a big game" seems so fake. It really goes to show how much external factors outside of the players and coaches hands can impact the outcome of a game. How can you even trust that?

If you're gambling on sports for example then that's a big red flag because now it ain't about stats and player performance, but about whether or not you happen to be on the side of the officials/league that night.

Additionally regarding the travels/carries, they won't keep this up because they know it'll be a whistle fest the rest of the year and people will watch less. Players haven't practiced the non-carry version of their moves enough.

If they were serious about it and not doing this for attention: they'd put the notice out this offseason and then enforce it more next season.

That's how you'd know it'd be more legit and not for the cheap attention-drawing.

Only real player averaging 30+ efficiently without ref help is Steph

This is honestly facts.

If the refs called Steph right and gave him the FT's he's deserved through his career than those numbers would look absolutely ridiculous.

No one is arguing they shouldn't crack down on travelling as long as it is applied consistently

You can't call travelling for only select few players and allow notorious travellers like Ja morant and Giannis to take a trip to hawaii on most plays

I feel you out the nba still need to crack down on these illegal screens also

 

[ryderldb]

Nah they just cracking down on GS and ignoring everyone else with obvious travels

I have no hard evidence, but it feels like this is the case. I’ve never seen this many travel calls.

peep this thread and the video clips, Ja literally doing this shyt right in front of the refs meanwhile Poole getting stared down by the refs looking for his infractions. either call this shyt on all the players or don't, you can't pick and choose.

 

[Illuminatos]

They need to call carries next, shyt is ridiculous.

let's not start this friends

 

[Bar Razor]

Probably saw this lol

Cracking down on this means less scoring and highlight plays. Not happening

They're being strict with the Warriors to appease owners of other teams who bytch and moan about their payroll

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

They called 10 in the Mavs/Warriors game alone.



That shyt already nerfed Jordan Poole, wonder if they'll be as strict on a Superstar like Ja for example who carries on damn near every other possession. Or KD and Giannis.

The fact that they called it on Steph of all people on a critical possession might be proof this is going to be a season-long thing.

Caught the early part of Sixers vs Lakers. Embiid was handling the rock and he was carrying like a gotdamn running back
