This si a great thread. most of the posters know the NBA rules and admit it was a pretty clear travel, but question the timing of the call (legit, we'd do the same thing if it was one of our guys) its great for posts like this one though:

"It was NOT a travel. A travel only happens if you take two steps without jumping AFTER picking up the ball with both hands, not one. You can see in the video his first step of the three he still has only one hand on the ball, and its still pointed down, not palmed upward. the count shouldn't have started until he touched it with the other hand"

If that was the rule, rondo would be unstoppable with his alien hands, he'd never have to touch the ball with two. He could just palm it so it was facing downward and run around the key without dribbling.

Hahahaha, what a great visual. I can see Rondo just sprinting  in a circle around the three point line and into the paint,  palming the ball out in front of him, while the guy who wrote that post yells "TRAVEL! TRAAAAVEL!!!" at the top of his lungs. TP.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
