This situation is exactly the same thing except that instead of slapping the ball out of a player's hand he was slapping a loose (not yet possessed) ball to the ground in order to possess it after it bounced back to him.
You cannot pickup a dribble, take 2 steps to your left and shoot.

When he picked up and controlled the ball he established a pivot foot. One step yes, 2 steps no.

Uh, yes, you can pick up a dribble, take two steps and shoot; that's continuation. Watch that sequence again frame by frame. Once he possessed the ball he stepped while putting the ball on the floor for one dribble, picked it up, took two steps and shot, all in one fluid sequence.
In any case, it's not worth arguing about in the grand scheme. The Pistons wouldn't have become a better team had they won and the loss contributes toward a better draft position.

Not to mention he didn't even take two steps, he took one step. His right foot was on the ground when he gathered the ball and he took one step with his left. He could've taken a second step with his right foot and it still wouldn't have been a travel.

Are you really arguing about travel calls in the NBA? Guys travel. It's rarely called. The borderline ones are certainly never called.

it's been over 24 hours and that Jon leuer open 10 foot jumper miss still pisses me off.
this guy is literally worthless and needs to be off this team.
I love how the general idea was for Jon to have that position until Henry gets going while reality is they're our two worst players.
Stan was such a horrible evaluator of pf talent.
