    So was that actually a travel, or not?

    The way he landed after his jump stop was kind of messy, so I wasn't sure. Just wondering. Great move, regardless.

    Textbook hopstep, now if you wanna talk about travels Monta Ellis definitely traveled on his game winner.

    I looked carefully and both feet landed at the same time, regardless what an amazing play by the rookie.

    Capela in on that last defensive play played a total of 0.8 seconds. Could that be the shortest amount of time a player has played in NBA history? :confused:

    He gathered off the hop landed then took two steps not technically a travel but we've seen it called before. Just happy we got the win

    That was a smart and gutsy move. Whe did on the fly, because I'm sure McHale did not draw up any play for him.

    He was not doing much this game, but that play alone merits him more PT with the big team. No DLeague for a while.

    Thats the first time Nick's complete lack of confidence in his 3 point shot worked out for him and us. I guess he did have that one baseline cute in first half also because he wanted to vacate the corner 3 but either way GREAT FINISH and GAME TIME!!!

    The move wasn't a hop step so he didn't need to land on both feet. Gathered the ball with a left pivot, 1(R), 2(L), layup.

    Now if he gathered, step, hopped and didn't land on both feet, then it would've been a travel.
