      @Flexer MC …know the rules so you can play by the rules. If you are in the air with the ball, you cannot touch the floor again with the ball in your possession.
      To retain possession and be absolved of traveling, one must allow the ball to leave their possession and touch the floor, then regain it OR allow the ball to leave their possession and touch another player on the floor, then regain it.

      @Hanniel Bowe …Nope. All Irving did was hit the ball enough to disrupt his handling…usually a player with less strength in their hands would have lost possession.
      An excellent play by the defense, and with just a second to recover if Randle lets it hit the floor to keep possession, he’s out of time to get the shot off.
      Besides, if that ball comes out of Randle’s hands, Irving would have been all over it… and Randle knew that.

      I don’t know what all the commotion is about…it was an easy call. You get less pushback on the very same circumstances in pickup games.

      @Hanniel Bowe …You can’t be serious…
      Your post is incorrect on more than one level, and didn’t make any basketball sense.
      You should learn the rules…..play much?

    23 seconds in and I’m already done watching this. That’s a travel. When Drew touches the ball Randle hasn’t left his feet yet, plus Kyrie didn’t hit ball hard enough for Randle to lose grip on the ball. If Randle would’ve WWF sold the strip, he might have gotten away with a travel, but his good ball handling actually backfired here.

    When kyrie made contact with the ball, julius’ feet was still on the ground, kyrie did not touch the ball while he was in the air therefore he jumped up and back down with possession of the ball which is a travel

    That was a travel…kyrie didn’t strip the ball…he still had possession. He could’ve done a better job acting like kyrie stripped it.

    Max is not a basketball guy so I’m sure he doesn’t know the technicalities about the call. Fact is, it IS the right call. Randle didn’t lose the ball even if it was touched by Kyrie and NO there is no need to review it coz it was obviously the right call
