3) It's a travel, but the slot should have had that. Trail did come from a long way to get it because he works so far from the basket.

4) Easy PC...and again Trail is a long way from the play
I completely agree on all four points.

Bilas: "I don't know how you can do that. That's a foul, not a walk."
Me: "I don't know how you have a job."

It's really a shame. So many people look up to Bilas as one of the smartest sports commentators on television, and yet he blatantly misleads viewers with his lack of rules knowledge, constant second-guessing of the officials' judgment, and making it his mission to let everyone know that no one knows more than he does.

Play #1: The play only shows 3 chops. I am wondering if this was not cut off a little, but I am not surprised if this was a little quick.

Play #2: Looks like a travel before he dribbles the ball. I can see why it might have been missed as players were all around the ball.

Play #3: That is a travel. I do not like where the Trail had to come from to get this. He should have been more in the play IMO. And if he was closer he might have helped sell the call.

Play #4: I think it was a good call. I do not think that it was a flop. Maybe a little embellishment but he was hit in the chest and did get displaced.

Peace

3 and 4 were good calls. Good teamwork on 3.
But for 2...I thought it was a clear violation at first. But then I'm slowing it down and not seeing it. An awkward dribble to start but I don't think there was a travel but I could be wrong.

Seriously? You need to look again. He is very clearly off the ground when he starts the dribble. Textbook.

first two times I saw it I thought it was a violation. I'm just not 100% certain I still do.

So a travel before the dribble? Or could they have called a double dribble when he got it again, when he had his arms back like "I can't touch it".
