I actually played these travels over in slow motion and they were in fact travels. One of them was were he picked up his pivot foot and started a dribble (very slight). The other one he actually traveled twice because when he caught the ball he landed on his back foot first hence establishing it as his pivot. When watching it live it didn't seem like travels but upon replay they definitely were. BUT, I don't think they should have been called because there was no real advantage gained.

There was only one contact play (that I saw) that I thought was called incorrectly. (A layup by Duncan that was waved off for a ticky-tack call as he pivoted. Yes, there was contact, but you penalized the offense by calling it when it obviously didn't affect the play.)

I completely agree that this was a horrible call which should have not been called or the basket should have counted since he was habitually starting his shot.
