Not even repeated replays could uncover this elusive infraction. Funny thing is, this reminds me of a spectator in the stands during Game 1, when Stackhouse fumbled the ball off his knee in the dying seconds of regulation. The spectator shouted, "how is that not a foul?!" Phantom foul, phantom travel. It's the Mark Cuban effect.</p> <p>You're probably right about the offensive foul against Devin Harris, though. It should've been a let-go situation.</p> You have good eyes, cause no one else saw the alleged “blatant travel.” Not even repeated replays could uncover this elusive infraction.

I thought Dallas was going to blow this one out but that was before I came to udnerstand how well Pheonix can guard the perimeter…and Shawn Marion (though obviously still hurting from his rolled ankle in the last series) did a devent job on Dirk.

All in all, college basketball is better… even better? SMU intramurals.
