Basketball was never meant to be a one-on-one game, and the best teams always move the ball around to get open looks. In the NBA, the Golden State Warriors are the epitome of the value of a great passing team.

They complement each other. Breaking a guy down off the dribble can lead to an even more open shot after a couple passes. The best teams are good at both. If you can't drive your opponent will just overplay the passing lane and gum up your offense.
Agree that the passing is rounding into shape nicely. Good to see.

The NBA got boring to me when the zone defense was illegal (prior to 200-2001 season.) Players would clear out to one side and let their star go one-on-one against one defender. I don't care if that star was Iverson, Kobe, Michael or Shaq, and I don't care if it was effective. It was butt ugly.
The true beauty of the game of basketball is in the passing. The best passes though require the recipient of that pass to be moving--fast-break, back door cut, baseline cut. The best passes are the ones that you don't see coming, or even seem errant--until the recipient gathers it and swoops to the basket.
After watching the Warriors perfect their motion passing offense, I got frustrated watching our Griz pass the ball around the perimeter, around the perimeter, while the shot clock ran down. I even titled a post, "Cut to the f###[#]' Basket!" When Mike Montgomery said during the Oregon game, "I could not diagram the Montana offense," it may have been a wakeup call to this staff.
Our kids play great defense. Glad they seem to be developing better offensive schemes.

Kerr learned from everybody. When he showed up for his interview with the Warriors he carried a thick notebook. They assumed it was his playbook.
“No,” he said. “Those are my out-of-bounds plays.”
Sometimes this feels like a warriors messageboard. Last game GRIZ got leads going inside and lost the lead throwing up threes.PeauxRouge said:citay said:The NBA got boring to me when the zone defense was illegal (prior to 200-2001 season.)

And yet, “Pop” (who is 100% douchebag) finds he’s not such a genius when he’s not coaching 3 HOF players at the same time.
