    He does have a point. Seems like traveling calls are yo league wide and May be a point of emphasis. I hope he starts getting called for it more.

    Yeah, they let that slide yet they love calling traveling on players 30 feet from the basket when they catch and take a quick step before they dribble. I don't get that one because it seldom gives much of an advantage to the ball handler. I just don't understand why they are so strict on that, but not with what Ja does.

    I think all most fans want is consistency. A foul is a foul no matter who it is. A travel is a travel, no matter who it is. A foul is a foul no matter WHEN it occurs.

    Either it is, or it isn't. Don't change it arbitrarily.

    Traveling is definitely a point of interest with the league and officials this year. It’s funny how whenever they zoom in on a certain aspect of the game to call tighter, it normally goes back to “normal” around all star game.

    My friends on the Hawks broadcast crew said the studio and broadcast truck were freaking out!!!! Said he’s in stable condition at the hospital now. How ducking scary was that!

    Didn't know you could go into convulsions from dehydration. That looked bad. Glad he is doing ok.

    I can only imagine. They must have thought they were watching someone die.

    They have paramedics on hand at the arena right? Good they could get to him quickly.

    Oh yeah, paramedic teams in the “wedge” they call it. Side tunnels. But lights were out, action on the court. So scary.

    Our “savior” has returned. Remember we cut him. Now he’s the key to our success?

    He went ballistic that season. Three 60+ point games and that one stretch where he was getting 50/10 nearly every night. He’s truly one of the greatest players ever.

    If we beat them tomorrow, we pass them in the standings and take the division lead.

    AD just can’t stay healthy and they can’t afford to lose games right now.

    Magic beat Clippers to snap 9 game losing streak. Banchero was clutch. Clippers were awful down the stretch. We move ahead Clippers in the standings.
