DO THEY NOT KNOW WHAT IS A TRAVEL AND WHAT IS A FAKE???????If you've watched the USA vs. european games then you would CLEARLY see that the traveling calls are OUTRAGEOUS! Especially in the usa vs. serbia game, a fake by any USA player is an automatic travel, yet no such call is awarded to the serbia players.. I have to say, I am VERY disappointed in the refs performance.

In case you were wondering, NBA players travel on almost all of their "fakes"... the refs in the NBA have been letting it go because they can make "cooler" moves by traveling a little. I didn't see the game you speak of, but I am pissed that the NBA doesn't call travels enough.

actually, I know the NBA doesn't call some of the travels, palming... but I would not go as far as to say MOST of the players' fakes are travels.... but some of the calls the european refs made were just outrageous, they showed some replays and honestly I did not see a travel. It go to the point where if a player pivots and dribble afterwards he is given a travel...

Another reason why I am mad is because the european players would do the exact same thing and would not get called - they even missed an obvious double dribble by the serbian guard!

I remember watching the olympics and international play in 2000 and I do not remember this many traveling calls.

I don't even care for basketball, but I care for my country. I hope the USA's pistol team can take it home, they've got some sweet guns in the form of the Kimbers. They're toughest competition will probably be Germany or the Swiss. Britain and Australia will probably suck do to the loops required to actually shoot anything in those countries...

oh wait, this is a basketball thread, sorry!
