I’ve accepted them not being strict with unforced carries or travels by players being lazy/clumsy since that would significantly slow down the game but this sort of stuff is unforgivable. You’re essentially punishing great defense.
also carried before all of that lol
Unless your name is Jordan Poole, refs dont care about pretty blantant travels/carries. The pivot foot/euro step rules also blur the lines a ton
I dated a ref once — didn’t work out
I wish it was talked about more how bizarre it is that NBA rules enforcement can change from game to game, and sometimes from quarter to quarter. Like is that a spur of the moment choice? Do the refs get together and say “hey these teams hate each other, we gotta call it tight.”, is it the NBA making the call?
There were three travels in this game, Warriors had a couple of glaring ones too.
This is the kinda stuff you call even on pickup games at the park
If only humans could create some sort of technology that allows people to watch the game without having to be on the court to call penalties. Maybe only allow them to call egregious ones
Reminds me when Westbrook carried the ball to half court before he got called for traveling. Russ basically just walked with the ball for over 5 seconds, not a single dribble while he was using his other hand to call a play. no walking call.
I miss when carries and travels were actually called
Average nba moment
Those were all gather steps. He actually has a step left as he gathers for his shot or pass. /s
Please just make the rules always enforced. This is not fun anymore to watch.
Just go by the books. Make the rules once and for all and just stick to it. Why are games called by the whims of the refs.
One night the allow WWE and the other night if even a wind blows by the same player the call a foul.
Speaking about WWE this litterly feels like WWE sometimes, where the calls are driven by a certain narrative
They scored off this btw
Damn. He didn’t walk, he TIME TRAVELED all over the court! Come on NBA.
It’s clips like this that show me that the NBA is closer to WWE more than we’d like to think
The favoritism in officiating is getting tiring
80s and 90s NBA fans look at todays NBA as a wussified game that only believes in high scores and tons of 3 pointers. They allow traveling and call follows on everything. Players will literally jump into defenders to get a foul and 1 or easy freethrows. The days of rough n tough play are over. Most games in the previous decades rarely got into 100s per team and the intense way they played and love for the game made it entertaining. Players like Bird Kobe Jordan Isaiah Magic Rodman would dominate the best of the players of 2000s. 89s 90s players played through bruises and minor injuries. Leaders would check their players and push them.
Travels are out of control. It’s just so annoying how much advantage offense gains from it like they don’t already get a lot of favors
The Warriors are on a 6 game road trip and that’s 6 steps without dribbling the ball.
lol
That’s why in the Olympics team USA still needs the Elite and not so young Superstars like LeBron, Steph and KD. Once they retire, team USA will be having their hardest time winning that Gold medal both FIBA and Olympics.
NBA likes offense more than defense
That wasn’t traveling, that was a whole vacation.
The refs didn’t miss it. Rules are subjective in the NBA and have been for years.
A walk? Bro took a expedition
Do you think sport’s betting has something to do with int?
As soon as it panned to Tony Brother’s back I knew lol
The NBA is such a shit product. Blacktop games are better officiated than some of this shit
People talk shit about the Warriors announcers but the Hawks’ broadcast team barely mentioned that this may have been a walk. 😂

Tom Brady Suspended 4 Games
I like how Tony Brothers [sees things that aren’t there](https://youtu.be/DK3si8sp85A?si=arjiEp03JAbnC7qj) but also doesn’t see things that *are* there. He’s amazing.
Typical NBA officiating…atrocious
Such a trash league lol
