Carrying and moving screens are the easiest to call

I've seen 14 year olds with a better hesi than mine. They make me want to get back in the lab cause it lowkey bothers me.
But then I hit them with one of these a few times and it don't matter.
. Look down at your hand, they freeze, then you pull it. Only thing from Bron's game I've been able to replicate, beyond his post fade.

people just want to find someone to blame.
The Adam SIlver turn has been funny to watch.
It started with the pandemic restart I think?
and looking back SIlver was ultimately 100% correct on it.

There's always more juice in the tank.
I should clarify it's not just official league decisions either, the emphasis on scoring from the 3 was a massive boost to scoring numbers. Pels had a 4 on 1 fastbreak the other night that ended with a CJ 3 even though an alley-oop was right there. That's madness, but it worked.

Poole for sure carrys, and travels.
He must be stopped

Im a child of the AND 1 mixtape era, so im down with pushing the limits.
but the carrying I think tipped over the line, if super quick guys like Ja and Poole can carry,
it's just way to unfair to the defense.
gotta be a balance of creativity and defense.

Jordan Poole is a pioneer. Every night he goes out there and tests the limits of what's legal.
Lightskin Harden gonna have a lot of sons in the game if he's not stopped soon.

If Poole is testing the limits on what is legal so was Jeffery Dahmer.
Man is a menace and needs to be stopped.

y'all really do not want every travel & carry to be called

im not really a travel nazi,
I don't think it's a massive problem.
all the slow down videos and a guy travels while bringing the ball up the court vids, i really don't care.
I only care if you are gaining a pretty discrete advantage on the defender.

There's definitely been a turn on Silver the last couple of years.
All in all, he's been a good commissioner and probably the most well liked out of the major sports in my lifetime.

I def don't but gotta draw the line somewhere and I think Ja Morant and Poole is a fair spot to draw it.

eh i think his footwork on the gather step + 1-2 is pretty good most of the time.
he's just got long legs so it's more OP for him.

I think for some reason some people fooled themselves into thinking Silver doesn't work for the owners.
and they were disappointed to find out that he does in fact work for the owners.

Carrying and moving screens are the most blatant for me.
I'm probably minority here, too, but I loathe the way continuation/gathering step/act of shooting/whatever is officiated... You're either shooting or you're not.

I don't. It's annoying to see someone jab step, drive and then get called for a travel before they even make it 2 inches from their starting spot.
But then Ja packs his suitcases, grabs his passport and travels all the way to the paint and the only whistle called is when he throws himself into a defender. Or all these 7 step stepbacks and 4 steps after picking up your dribble everyone is getting away with. It's egregious at times.

I don't have a problem with the gather step.
It takes discipline and skill to excecute.
Carrying, anyone can do it and gain a big advantage.

Everyone loved Silver until he finally grew a pair. I’d love my boss too if he left me do whatever I wanted.

the way he initially handled the sarver situation put him in a different light imo. he was caught between two worlds, perhaps, but he made a conscious decision to pick one over the other.
