    That travel by Beal was ridiculous!!!!! I can accept a blown call, but for the refs to actually try to JUSTIFY it! The fuck outta here!

    Thats horseshit. He saw the defense rotate and he was out of room, just kept walking with the ball. These guys are just digging a bigger whole.

    @trailblazer18 asked the right question to me, are they saying you can “fumble” the ball down the court without dribbling...

    Oh god, Harden is now going to make the fumble-flop into a major component of his game.

    On the bright side, Aminu may now be a serviceable player!

    I understand if you never have possession of the ball and are fumbling it trying to gather it, or if you have possession and another player touches the ball and you fumble it, you can gather it back. To actually have possession, take your steps, and then fumble without anyone else touching it...no way. How could you possibly judge if it was fumbled on purpose or not?

    Beal took three steps before "losing the ball" then took a fourth

    I'll take a look at it after work. Without seeing it a couple things:

    1. To commit a traveling violation, one must have complete control of the ball.
    2. "Losing control" (on purpose) all the way down the court actually indicates that you have control of the ball.

    Beal already travel before the fumble so referees need to come up with something better. Any way the NBA referees have different rule then other level of ball.

    I hope you have watched video by now because that call looked ridiculous. Be interesting to hear your opinion.

    It's not traveling. It's ugly as shit, but not traveling.

    He takes 2 steps and loses control of the ball. By rule a player may regain control of the ball and establish a pivot foot. In addition, said pivot foot may be lifted to pass or shoot.

    From someone who's refereed over 7000 games, it's easy to tell if a player has control of the ball or not.

    "Fumbling" the ball isn't a natural act and control is easily determined by simply knowing natural basketball movement.

    The NBA's interpretation of the play is correct.
