I love the traveling calls.
Players should just, you know, NOT travel.

Good Lord, refs, these non-sense travel calls have to stop.

No call I hate worse than that one.  It feels like refs would need to be focused on both the ball and player's feet at the exact same time to accurately make the call.  If the foot movement is made with ball clearly in hand, I get the call, but if feet move simultaneously (or close) to the ball leaving the hand, I don't know how they make the call.

Man, hopefully Hayward gets a bit more comfortable in the offense between now and opening night.

I don't believe these are all travels. If you throw the ball down you can start your move.

Yabu not exactly shining tonight.  But I think/hope he's learning.

I agree.  Through 3 preseason games, I have watched KI pretty closely on D to see if how bad he really is, and I have been surprised that he is a better defender than advertised, at least so far

I don't think the Cleveland coaching staff pressured him to put much effort into defense.  They preferred him to reserve his energy for offense as well aas sustaining it for the course of the season.  Lebron doesn't put that much effort into to defense either during the course of the season.  It doesn't stand out as much because he's so freakishly talented.

It doesn't really give any advantage to the player, so it shouldn't really be a rule (not traveling in general, just that specific one)

Hayward having the toughest time adjusting so far.

Yabusele did travel, but I hate that you can't catch and jab any more.  Yabu having a rough game.

I think we may see Smart getting more respect from refs this year.
