That may be true. That was way up top near the three point line after he first received the pass. He slid his right foot a bit and then may have picked it up slightly before the dribble was released. It was close and is not a call that is made with that kind of precision the vast majority of the time.
So passing on that call is no big deal. Of course, that part of the play is not what all the announcers are talking about.

The part AFTER he lost the ball momentarily and then regained it is what is being deemed a travel. They are wrong.

CBS is just pissed that there are no "Cinderellas" left.

That's what I saw,only on the replay I might add. No way would that ever be called in that situation. It was really miniscule.

Yes, I think that's what they are b1tching about.

When I saw the first replay from the L my immediate thought was he obviously travelled. Then they showed it from the other side and I saw he fumbled the ball as he shifted his feet. Great no call IMO. I didn't see anything else that was close to a travel in that sequence.

And then 10 minutes later the announcers concocted this 'contraversy' and we were off.

Stupid monkeys.
