What Reaves did used to be an obvious travel not too long ago

I don't know what traveling is anymore in this league other than shuffling a pivot foot.

You can lift your pivot to pass or shoot. You can't drag or land on it.

The more obvious travel was the about 5 Wolves plays before they Ant took a wild 4 steps. I’m glad they didn’t call a foul on his layup attempt

You could always lift it. It's the putting the other foot down separately, as a step, (and jumping off of it) that has changed.

Correct. It's 100% textbook legal now. Was a travel for 90%+ of NBA history.

Its a normal stepthrough move. Where do you see a travel? It was in the bag of every center with good fundamentals.

NBA playoffs has been far more entertaining than NHL Playoffs so far

To me, the nba is having one of the best first rounds ever imo. Shame Ja’s injury kind of ruined what could’ve been for that Thunder grizzlies series even though it would’ve been more than 4 games, it still would’ve been competitive. Heat are a 10th seed and gave 2 hard games on the road against the Cavs. Every other series has been competitive and physical.

It will be hard to pass 2014, but we are only halfway into the first round

LBJ and Luka played 34min each of 36min total..lol
Can JJ afford to sit them 2-3min each at different intervals in the 4th..or together??

Literally nope.

[Ducklett]

Gobert on that contract has to be worst 3 in the league, right?

[CobraCommander]

If Luka has 31 and LeBron is the best laker - it’s a wrap

[IG2]

Reaves has always been one tough MFer, no one can deny that.

[SSUBluesman]

That was not a basketball play. He aimed for the neck.

These refs have been crap. Yesterday they don't toss out Gordon after throwing a punch and now this? SMH

You're absolutely correct, LeBron gets breathed on and it's a foul and everyone else gets bodied at the rim and the refs swallow their whistle.

Would love to see someone make a video of all the fouls on LeBron tonight. Half of them were basically intentional. These aren’t ticky tack calls.

Go ahead and make that video and post it here so we can laugh at you.

Lakers are getting contributions from Rui and Austin, while Lebron and Luka are having very good games, plus the refs in their pocket with a double digit lead going into the 4th. No way the Wolves can win this. They just better pray to hit there shots in game 5.

As I said, it's legal now.

Rudy is a scrub who should be kicked out of
League

DFS is the ultimate hustle player.

Yeah I don't think Doncic got fouled there

[theforumblue]

gee reeves, see how the ball goes in when you dont think?

[KingFox]

18 freethrow attempts for LeBron? Jesus must be nice

[KyRo23]

That’s a horrible call

[rockmanslim]

That camera angle of Luka at the FT line was not flattering. Dude looks like a fat slob
