How good will Booker and Ayton be?

I hope not

Have fun with baggly

Rozier totally wrecked Bledsoe. That was awesome

Middletons shot was wet too tho

Bagley will be nice, but i dont think he’ll go #1

League is trying to get booker a sidekick. Phx will have #1 it feels like

Middletons shot was wet too tho

middleton was nice

But rozier operated. That was cold calculation

 

[BNC]

What in the world was Butler thinking on that last shot? That shot was awful

Just gonna throw this out there since it happens to be the talk of the town. I dont care either way. It hasnt been called a travel all year on him. It shouldnt be called one now.

 

[Paulius]

Idk man yall like to be blind when it comes to this

Heres jimmys. No travel

Again tho, it doesnt matter. Props to harden for being so slick with it but its technically a travel. Obviously you dont wanna admit it, but u see that last hop/slide so whatever

This no slander as mexi likes to say, but its pretty obvious

 

[Paulius]

Instead of reading what other people say, literally just watch the step back videos i sent by each player

Mexi called out dame. Looked it up, his isnt a travel and its not the same as hardens

This tweet called out jimmy, looked it up and its clear its not “the same move”

Think for yourself once u see it with your own eyes

 

[BNC]

The one Harden move from last night was probably a travel. None of his other step backs are. The video you posted last night was made by someone who doesn’t know what is and isn’t a travel. Harden takes a gather step when his dribble is still live then his two steps into the step back, that is not a travel

 

[Mexi]

Exactly coach and bnc

People love to forget about the two steps after you pick up your dribble

That's why everyone thinks everything is a travel

And never look at anything in slow mo. Its so deceptive

 

[Paulius]

That one against the Spurs was also a travel. Theres a reason Steve Kerr tweeted about it

Its no big deal. He doesnt travel on all of them, but the ones that look off and not like a pure stepback, its a travel

 

[Paulius]

People love to forget about the two steps after you pick up your dribble

When u plant your feet, u cant then take two more steps lmao this isnt a fastbreak

What are u talking about

 

[Mexi]

I truly don't give a shit

Did you see me complain about towns traveling with the free throw play? Nope and it led to an easy bucket

Back to basketball

Stop trying to slander harden. Wolves had plenty of chances and the fact they couldn't win is kind of sad. Rockets were very shitty

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Listening to a LeBron stan try to explain what is and isnt a travel has me rolling!

 

[Paulius]

KAT Also traveled

But this wasnt rockets playing shitty. That was playoff rockets that we will see often

 

[Mexi]

We'll see
Wolves aren't a threat

OKC has plenty of faults

Warriors will be tough

 

[Paulius]

Just wish harden didnt have to cheat the game by traveling and locking his arms on defenders to get foul calls

 

[Paulius]

Im just joshing with u mexi , dont get worked up

But if we see this next round, i wont be joshin https://streamable.com/elvtg

Very annoying, just play ball

 

[Mexi]

Tldr

 

[BNC]

Listening to a LeBron stan try to explain what is and isnt a travel has me rolling!

“A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball”
