[QUOTE=redboy]the nba is about entertainment. i can guarantee that viewer ratings are going to hell if the referees called every travel since the game would be super slow and boring. in the end, the casual fan still wants to see big dunks, tough layups, and 3 point shooting. the nba will always put making money over everything else[/QUOTE]
In that case they should allow players to show attitudes and emotions on the court.
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
nothing to discuss..refs missed it.
And they miss a lot worse travels than that
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
Dunno about 7 steps, but yes, thats kindof a travel :D

Yeah beacause it's not like NBA players can play without travelling :facepalm
It would take half a season or so for players to realize that they can't cheat and they would stop doing so (just like they've adapted to the countless rule changes in the sport in America)

[QUOTE=Rose'sACL]are you guys idiots ?

How do you look at that gif and come up with this response. I'm really wondering what the thought process was here
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
Wow. That's ****ing horrible.
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
This is now #3 on /r/all :lol
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
This type of travel happens multiple times during every game in the nba
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
[QUOTE=andremiller07]TBH those travels that really have no impact on the game they should let go there's already enough stoppages in the game,if the travel leads to an advantage than yeah call it but if it's nothing that impacts the game imo just let it go like they did there.[/QUOTE]
I agree.
This travel is not giving any advantage to Wade or his team. It's pretty much a meaningless and harmless travel.
Now, if this was in the play action? Yeah, we have something to look at.
We don't need anymore stoppages than there already is, especially meaningless ones like this.

Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
I hate this. Not calling travel here leaves it up to the ref himself to decide when, and which ref you have will then influence the game.
Calls should always be made, if not it becomes to subjectly.

if you have actually watched most games this season then you'd know that all star players have been called for tavelling more than any season in my memory since 2000s.
of course they will not call that travel because it is way out just like they don't call travel on open dunks.
very early 90s was the last time i saw star players called for traveling this much.
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
Wade does this every game almost every pass he gets lmao
That's my Flash, making em mad :D
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
I expect my professional basketball players to be professionals and be able to follow basic rules. I'd be pissed if one of my teammates on my intramural team did that. This shit makes the NBA look bad
Re: D-Wade's blatant travel with no call...Discuss
Omg, yeah, its a travel, but no one calls that in pro ball - no one.
Nothing to see here. You sound like a bunch of amateurs who laugh at stupid things like : "omg did you see that?? they awarded points for the wrong team OMG WTF LULZ!!! oh they switched it back.. But did you see that???!?"
