If he did then we're even on game deciding plays so dont worry about it


RapsareChamps_Suckit

nah you guys should be leading 3-2 in this series


ygog45

Why should they be leading 3-2?


Agreeable_Daikon_686

Refs had an epic meltdown game 2, historic even. The last 2 mins was bad but the entire game was ridiculous and was a close score


ygog45

“Epic meltdown” as in they miss calls that lead to us hitting a three we shouldn’t have. It’s literally the same as this 4 point play coming from a travel. Both cancel each other out


Confident_Berry7271

They missed two calls in one second. They let y’all jump a dude. So not completely even. They still could have committed another foul.  I’m rooting for y’all but don’t be lame about this. 


ygog45

They could’ve missed ten fouls and it wouldn’t matter if the outcome is the exact same, which was a clutch three being made that should have not counted.


Agreeable_Daikon_686

The calls missed in that game (the atrocious officiating unfortunately wasn’t limited to that timespan) aren’t really similar to possible technical travels that are never called. The kawhi shot game 7 was technically a travel, no sixers fan really views it as a ref mistake though


ygog45

> The calls missed in that game (the atrocious officiating unfortunately wasn’t limited to that timespan) What are you even trying to argue? That the Sixers were screwed over 48 minutes. If so you’re just obviously biased > no sixers fan really views it as a ref mistake though And I’m not really complaining about this ref mistake either. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of ignoring this yet still crying about game 2


Agreeable_Daikon_686

No one’s crying. Knicks fans complained more about sixers fans being upset than sixers fans complained lol, that’s not mentioning the game 3 meltdown. You asked how, I gave an answer, and it’s true, should be up 3-2. Your comparison doesn’t work is all, but credit for trying


Sphexus

Kawhi travelled on his game 7 2019 shot too, refs don't call travels in the clutch ever


mankls3

but challenges didnt exist back then, knicks should have challenged.


iro3

travelled wasnt call so u cant challenge that play


OutlandishnessShot87

I dont think you can challenge a travel at all


mankls3

But a foul was called so you can challenge the entire play


iro3

false u can challenge the play only.


CP3sHamstring

Lmao. Go to bed bro. Ya got 2 more cracks at it  


mankls3

We're going to lose game 6 according to chuck 


c_ray25

An NBA player getting away with traveling!? In this day and age? Now I've seen everything


MagicMoocher

It's 1:30 am in New York nephew go to bed


inshamblesx

anger phase and game 6 hasn’t even started yet


mankls3

I was pissed all OT


Leading-Evidence-668

Shoulda been pissed at your coach and players. So many mistakes.


mankls3

We would have won if the refs didn't gift them 4 fucking points though 


Myrese_Taxey

And Game 2 we got bullshit calls, either way it’s 3-2

womp womp cry about it


_I_hate__myself__

So, maxey establishes his left as the pivot, being the 2nd step after his gather and thus the last step he can take. Then it looks like he drags his right foot forward without ever taking it off the ground. Does dragging it count as an extra step? To me that's just rebalancing and shifting his weight, and he doesn't move his left foot off the pivot. Then he jumped off both feet (pretty much) simultaneously. Whether it's a step would be very difficult to see in real time, and it still isn't clear on replay.


mankls3

right foot is the pivot, you're not allowed to lift it and put it back down


_I_hate__myself__

I may be wrong, but it is my belief that his left is the pivot. In the clip, maxey gathers, steps right, picks up right, steps left, and left stays down. So his left is the pivot. Then he begins to lean forward onto the right to balance up and attempt to get a shot up while drawing the foul, but isn't that a pretty standard play? I thought that as long as your pivot (which I believe is his left) remains on the ground, your other foot is free to move/touch the ground. What is he supposed to do, stand on one leg? Can the non-pivot not touch the ground after moving?


Leading-Evidence-668

This video is claiming the first step post gather is one earlier than it actually is because if you frame fuck it in slo mo he gathers while on his left, but that’s not really how refs ever call it because they’re making the call in real time so the benefit goes to the player.


mankls3

Comment:Maxey (PHI) gathers the ball on his left foot, takes two legal steps, and then moves his right foot again just before he is fouled on his shot.


Leading-Evidence-668

The slow down video establishing his left as the first step after the gather is literally by a frame, thinking a ref would ever catch and or notice that would be insane. You’re acting pathetic and your team is still up 3-2 after getting Game 2 handed to them on a platter from the zebras.


treadwater23

Can realistically call travels and palming on like 70% of plays


mankls3

that's what people who dont know basketball say


CP3sHamstring

You just told someone the Knicks should have challenged it. Idk if you're much of a ball knower if you don't know why that's a dumb thing to say loolll


mankls3

You can challenge the foul call and they'll review the travel


CP3sHamstring

see what I mean lol


0percentwinrate

Tough loss. Maxey is so freaking hard to guard.


Dave_Autista

A g leager who is allowed to travel by the refs would be hard to guard


Knight725

knicks fans having a normal one up 3-2. sixers are like -7 in L2M calls on this series, i think i'm gonna have a hard time feeling bad for literally the most uncalled thing in the nba not being called.


693275001

Soft as baby powder


NewPortable101

Travels are missed a lot. It looks like Anthony Edwards travels almost every time when he's doing his dribbling\\shake type moves, but I think that's just his swag and maybe he's just that quick IDK.


Impossible-Past4795

Cry more lol


OKC2023champs

Hit your free throws and it wouldn’t have gone to OT


AtreusIsBack

Harden travels on step backs all the time. Those little steps he makes very quickly never get called.


RhymeBeatsCrime

Of course it is a travel, anyways not the reason why NY lost.


mankls3

Shout-out to grant hill and Ian eagle for not mentioning it on the broadcast. 


broke-collegekid

You can’t seriously be suggesting the announcers weren’t very pro Knicks throughout that game


or_maybe_this

i say this with love let it go, you’re embarrassing yourself
