Traveling is not against the rules in the NBA, at least if you judge that by how often it is called. I will never forget seeing Ewing take FOUR steps during a game en route to the basket. After the 3rd he looked towards the ref, took one more, then made his shot and looked at the ref again and smiled.

Funniest NBA video. I laugh every time I see it.

Edit: Pistons with a healthy lead going into halftime. Foul trouble is hurting the Pistons, though.

btw, I can not stand watching Pistons backup player Walter Herrmann play.

I don't know they are making me nervous, Magic aren't really getting to the rim and still in the game pretty much.

Yeah that dude runs real funny... I can't really stand him either.

Walter Herrmann is awesome, don't hate.

And Pistons up 2-0. I say they get 1 in Orlando and finish it in 5

Magic could've won that game. Lame.

Pretty tame game in NO, Parker's sucking like nobody's business. Oh wait, fight fight!

Wow, David West...what a punk. He taunted Dirk in the 1st round and now, Oberto. Come on Spurs...put the NO in their place.

Only thing impressive is how the refs are behaving. Also, NO doesn't deserve shit with the way they're acting. Fuckin classless, along with their fans ...

I guess somebody never heard of home court advantage. QQ more. I'd rather NO win and go against LA. You're accusing NO of being class when Spurs have Bowen and Ginobli? Please.

LMAO, I was trying to count how many steps he took on that travel, gave up at 82,317.....

Interesting stats:

Pistons have beaten Magic 9 straight times in postseason (fourth longest)

Spurs have never won a series when down 0-2 (from 14 series)

When home team goes up 2-0, they win the series 94% of the time. So... Spurs/Magic done for?

Pretty much. But never count out the spurs, damn spurs are the defending champs!

I agree, they're the Spurs I think they will go to game 7.

The Magic should have won that game despite the bad call on Billup's 3 pointer. Turkoglu stunk up the place. He was playing as if they just recruited him from some local intramural league. His turnovers and bad shots are what lost the game for the Magic.

The only thing that kept them in the game is their wild 3 point shooting ... I could not belive what I was seeing. Those shots didn't come thru when they needed them, so they lost.
I don't think Billups 3 was the decided factor here.

I agree that the call for Billups was not the deciding factor. If the Magic had lost by one, maybe then there'd be a beef about it. Still, them's the breaks. The refs had no options and made what they felt was the proper call.

Turkoglu had 3 or 4 turnovers in the final 3 minutes, and took about 4 shots that weren't even close, and played some terrible D. Usually he's been the clutch guy for the Magic in the 4th quarter but he hasn't been delivering in the playoffs. It's as if that Most Improved Player Award is a curse on him.

I think the Celts just needed a series to get back up to speed, they coasted the last month. Should be a good series and I will pull for my Cavs but it would be an upset if they won. Still don't see them getting swept but we shall see, g/l to both teams.....

Wade is better than Lebron James?????? WHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTT?

Traveling aside, wade got SO MANY CALLS during his finals debut. it was ridiculous. I believe he even shot 30 free throws in a game. Wade is good, but hes no Lebron or Kobe or Jordan. He just gets the calls that Jordan got. And that, my friends, is why many people swear off the NBA. the preferential treatment of certain players sucks

Wade is probably never going to be the same again. He'll probably play for like 6 more years and retire.

Haha I will just be happy with game 7, I would like to see the Spurs come out with a W... but I am not going to predict anything cause I really haven't been watching NO closely.
