When should you make the call?

I won't spend a lot of time harping on the officiating from the third game of the NBA Finals. I didn't think it was particularly good, but it wasn't overly bad either. But, there is one call I have a problem with. The officials called PJ Brown for traveling when he came to a stop after catching a ball outside the three-point line. While the official didn't screw the call up (Brown did travel), travels like that happen all the time. If you are going to let everyone else get away with it, why whistle Brown for the violation? Radmanovich wasn't called for traveling when he obviously took an extra step before taking off for his break-away dunk near the end of game 2!

If you want an obvious, more egregious offense that gives a player an advantage, whistle Lamar Odom for carrying the ball bringing the ball up the court. Or, if you want to call a travel on Brown, call one palming violation on Odom.

And, while KG does travel (and got called for it, though not every time), so does Kobe. Maybe I'll blog real-time during game 4 (doubtful, because I have to help my mother-in-law move and will have to utilize my DVR). If not, I'll try to do a decent run-down of all (or most) of the awful missed (and made) calls a few hours after they happen.
