Watching the Tiger game yesterday I was struck by how little the Tigers moved without the ball. All too often it seemed that Geist had the ball out front and tied to beat his man for a jump shot while everyone else stood and watched.
If you watch Golden State, particularly Curry and Thompson, you'll see one of them on one side of the court, give up the ball, cut to the basket and end up on the other side of the court or at the top of the key for an open jump shot.
The difference in the amount of movement is striking.
And yes, when the Warriors get the ball to Durant, they just get out of his way and let him do his thing. But ten Durant is a special case.
