Yeah, this was a pretty bad no-call.

Serious, horrible.

No carry, no travel, just the norm in today's NBA, drives me nuts.

It really sticks out when you watch an old NBA video from like the 80's. Your

Nearly every dribble in today's NBA starts with the hand underneath the ball...

Do they every call a carry in the NBA?

BYUheaven

5/4/22 10:38am

Impossible to guard someone who can just run without having to dribble.

LOL, I just came to link this. That is such a bad no call. Yes, others get away

Cougar TD

At the very beginning, is he picking up his dribble?

Hawk in the 303

5/4/22 10:42am

Yes, he had just dribbled.

cougfanblue

5/4/22 10:46am

So a carry? travelling? double-dribble? Too hard to say, so just let it go.

Hawk in the 303

5/4/22 10:50am

By rule it would not be a travel. But carries rarely get called.

blueaussie

5/4/22 11:05am

Ja carries it on every possession like many others in the NBA. They don't call it on anyone.

Interesting that the game was decided by a travel call on Klay

BYU Fan

5/4/22 10:44am

This year they decided to start calling the two feet moving before you establish your pivot foot. It really comes down

kimdaddy35

I don't watch a ton of NBA basketball but I don't recall that ever being called

BYU Fan

5/4/22 11:02am

It was a travel. But was a point of emphasis this year (or last I can't remember) and wasn't called before that.

kimdaddy35

5/4/22 11:07am

Fair enough - the announcer and crowd both seemed to see it in real time

BYU Fan

5/4/22 11:11am

I agree 100% with you. What Klay did gains much less of an advantage than what Ja did. Ja being able to do that makes

I think it was the very next play.

JuicyJam

You are absolutely correct - that was awful, awful inconsistency

BYU Fan

5/4/22 11:01am

What is the call that he missed? Carry? NO, his hand wasn't under the ball. Travel? He was actively dribbling

IBC

If you don't think that is a carry you either don't understand the rules or are delusional.

kimdaddy35

5/4/22 10:48am

Or a current NBA ref

Cougar TD

5/4/22 10:52am

They know it is a carry, it just isn't something they call.

kimdaddy35

5/4/22 10:53am

I wouldn't call that as a ref, to be honest. These guys have massive hands and

QBarrister

5/4/22 10:52am

Check again, his hand was most definitely under the ball. The laws of physics

NOCAL_YFAN

5/4/22 10:53am

Carry ≠ hand under the ball.

blueaussie

5/4/22 11:06am

He was palming the ball. Hand doesn’t need to be under the ball.

A Drew Aitch

5/4/22 11:30am

his hand 100% did turn upward...twice

icecougar

5/4/22 11:42am

Bad call, but if it’s that egregious they should post the video at regular speed.

DieHarder

5/4/22 10:54am

It was just as obvious in full speed.

cougfanblue

5/4/22 10:57am

Yep you can't just hesitate with the ball in your hand in the middle of dribbling.

kimdaddy35

5/4/22 11:01am

You can't hesitate with the ball in your hand?Happens every game and every level

palangi

5/4/22 2:02pm

No you can't hesitate moving your body with multiple steps all while the ball is in your hand. It doesn't happen on any

kimdaddy35

5/4/22 2:05pm

Yeah, that's bad

LiveCoug

5/4/22 11:02am

This is perfect! Because Steph does the exact same thing at the end of the clip

QBarrister

5/4/22 12:15pm

The worst is when you try to call travel/carry at pick up ball, and people argue

BYUFootballisBack

5/4/22 10:56am

Just kidding I never call them anyway, but there is always a huge argument when

BYUFootballisBack

5/4/22 10:57am

Once in pick up, a guy set a screen, and completely ran over the defender.

Almost as bad as Lebron's carry against the Jazz

Great finish, but definitely a bad travel to start. It’s tough, I think we

There are like 2-3 travels every NBA possession. If it’s basketball you want

Stupid WCC refs

flyzag

5/4/22 1:31pm

It's not bad at all. The refs could call a carry bi then they'd need to call 50

palangi

I challenge you to show me a single clip of John Stockton carrying the ball as egregiously.

Vintage NBA officiating. Reason number 62453 the NBA is a joke.
