Disagree. Playoff NBA is great

I don't see the difference.

Most the league makes the playoffs which takes forever. I see all kinds of shit that isn't called that isn't supposed to be allowed. Traveling being the biggest offender that isn't called.
I guess I don't like them letting it slide and allow the sloppy play.

Traveling requires 5 steps in the NBA, I think. That seldom is necessary when nobody plays defense

Did Detroit’s top need just change to WR or S? Is their draft board shook up at all from the suspensions?

Watch Golden State/Sacramento. Lakers/Grizzlies. Or even Clippers/Suns if Kawhi plays. The level is up a few notches from the regular season

To each his own.

Let me know the next time an NBA player leaves a game to get 70+ stitches and then returns to the game to take the remainder of his shifts . . . . . . NBA players are pampered babies by comparison, who's delicate egos have to be stroked and massaged just to get them to play . . . . . pfttt

NBA faintly resembles basketball but not sure what they are really doing.

It certainly isn't defense . . . . the NBA is far closer to professional wrestling than actual basketball . . . . . boring

I was thinking synchronized land-swimming

Definitely to each his own. Hockey players are a different breed that’s for sure.

Nope. Anything more than 3 steps. I sometimes see 4 and see them stop, hop , and then continue on which is also not allowed.
It used to be only 2 steps was allowed. when you are 6'9", 3 steps is covering a.lot of ground.

In basketball, traveling is a violation that occurs when a player takes too many steps without dribbling the ball. Traveling is also called, predominantly in a streetball game, "walking" or "steps". If the pivot foot is lifted, a pass or try for made basket must be made before the pivot foot is replaced to the floor. In the NBA and FIBA, players are also given a "gather step".

In the NBA and FIBA, when a player has taken more than three steps without the ball being dribbled, a traveling violation is called. The NCAA and NFHS do not allow two steps. In 2018, FIBA revised the rule so that one can take a "gather step" before taking the two steps. A travel can also be called via carrying or an unestablished pivot foot. If the pivot foot of a player changes or moves, it is considered traveling

Excellent! Much more accurate than wrestling (except for the refereeing) . . . . . . !

When was the last time anyone saw 'carrying' called?

I don't think so since it's 6 games. They scare me at 18 as a team who might take Bijan even with Montgomery and Swift(in his last year). Holmes and Campbell want to control the LOS above all I think.
