Just because people believe something does not make it true. Just like you said there were not traveling calls made, I was watching Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals and I saw two travel calls off the bat. One call was where a Celtic player was just standing still and moved his pivot foot. I wonder if the people who say that do more than watch a single YouTube video or actually watch games from beginning to the end. Now I admit I am not as big of an NBA fan as I used to be, but I do watch several portions of games when I get a chance and I see lots of travels and lot of stars not getting any special calls.
It makes me think that many here are listening more to what uneducated media members think rather than watching the game themselves. Let us not make it sound like all other levels call every travel and every foul because there is a lot of contact.
Peace
