Odd, they never worried about traveling calls during the last threepeat when Shaq was dancing the pivot foot shuffle and Kobe was doing his best Michael Jordan "I don't need no stinkin' dribbles" imitation.

In what way, shape or form does your post have anything to do with what i wrote?

Did i say there hasn't been superstar non-calls thorought the years?

What i DID say is that i don't understand people defending not calling blatant infractions of the rules of the game.

I know you are not yourself, ehmunro... You are probably not getting enough sleep. Some migraines, perhaps? Anxiety crisis regarding Celtics games? Is Dwight Howard frightening you? But wise up, grasshopper!

Who? It's bad enough to generalize, but to make up generalizations is even worse. Maybe one or two posters? And no, AJ23 does not count.

The 6 people who voted no should never be caught complaining about officiating. They are blinder than the refs! At least the refs have an excuse because they dont get to watch replays in slow mo. But damn, you guys have seen numerous replays and still vote no? Stop the bull****!

His response was to Paulo, so I'm assuming he's the only one ehmunro was referring to. Unless it was an edit...

Because traveling hasn't been enforced for three decades. Pretty much the only consistent calls of traveling are on big men at the elbow or the top of the key. Switch your pivot foot there and you're going to get whistled. Other than that it seems to be a call that only gets whistled when the zebras are feeling sulky.

Why? The Cavs are already the best team in the NBA and are probably a trade away from sealing up the next two titles at least. Like most Celtics fans I'm just happy that the rebuilding error is over.

My, my, how things change...
But you are failing me, young grasshopper. Are you quiting already? Where's the brash talk about the holier-than-thou Celtics? Where are the jokes about the Lakers being a bunch of pansies?
I accept your capitulation (sp?), but i was expecting a harder fight.
For God knows how i long for a Lakers/Celtics rematch in the Finals!

The Lakers, outside Kobe, are a bunch of gaggers. As for the Cavs, your hated LeBron is even better this year. With Mo Williams (a man reviled as a loser until this year) as a sidekick the Cavs are already arguably the best team in basketball. Once they trade Szczerbiak I no longer expect anyone to catch up with them. Of course, Danny Ferry could surprise us all by holding on to what he has and not dealing, but even I don't believe that Ferry's that bad a GM. Like most Celtics fans I'm hoping that Danny Ferry stands pat and clears the path for Boston to repeat, but I'm not holding my breath.

^ It's weird, you only seem to respect the Celtics and for some odd reason the Cavs, completly ignoring the fact that the Magic and the Lakers have as good if not better chance to win the ship then the Celtics.

ehmunro lives in fear. Let's just respect that.

^ I guess, he hides it well under all of the "Laker girl" insults though.

Back on topic, has this thread really gone to 16 pages? I mean really it was about ONE travel call, it was obivously a travel, let it go.

PS. Nice sig Paulo.

Magic? Who are teh Magics??

Lakers? Don't make me laugh! Oh wait, they do have that one chucker @ SG.. what's his face? Either way, he cant hold Lebron's jock. I got Bos or Cle as only possible contenders.
