    How are you supposed to chase Steph off a screen if the screeners can have their arms up and be moving.

    They let them play like that every game though. Moving screens are probably the least called rule across the whole league. It seems like the Warriors noticed how little they actually call moving screens and just decided to push the rule as far as they can.

      We're going to be heard from in the East. This Pistons team is ascendant.
      It sucks to see how far Blake has fallen, it's like Stan brought him in to bridge the gap until Jennings heals up & doesn't trust Dinwiddie to take that role. There was a point a month ago I questioned why we had so many PG's, maybe that's why I'm not a GM

          That's about it. Although I always liked Blake. Good rotation PG. Haven't seen him play in Detroit yet.

            I mean... yeah he was never a star, but falling from a reliable replacement starter and/or quality backup to what he's shown so far in detroit is clear descent

              It's definitely one of the most inconsistent calls in the league.

              There was just one play in particular where someone was doing a damn good job of fighting through them to get to Steph and it resulted in about 3 no called illegal screens in one play.

              I understand letting them play on those type of plays, especially when the defender usually doesn't give much effort to get through them. But this guy was busting his *** and I guess I just felt he should have been rewarded. Can't recall who it was, maybe Jackson.

                Speaking on how little it's called though, GS definitely has the perfect core to utilize that type of play. Green and Bogut always with the illegal screens, Curry and Klay the best shooters in the league. Talk about lethal. Maybe they'll pick up Tristan Thompson and Joakim Noah at the deadline. Steph would never take a contested jumper again lol.

                  That was probably KCP. He was doing a great job on Steph tonight. Really got him flustered with his length and ability to get around those screens. I think the play you're referring to was the double screen up top with Bogut and Draymond. I remember Bogut's screen was passable but Draymond's set a screen two different times and waved his arms around to get Steph open. Gotta be incredibly frustrating for teams trying to guard them.
                  Technically speaking, all those drag screens that they set in transition should probably be called moving screens as well. The Warriors will keep doing it as long as the refs aren't gonna call it though.

                    Warriors had 8 guys with at least two assists against Detroit. Lakers/Knicks are like, how is that even possible?

                      Some of Bogut's screens are ridiculous though. He put his knee in Shump's chest at one point in the Finals and it didn't get called. Considering they seem to be watching travels a bit more now (at least they did in that Wolves-Bulls game the other night) they should add moving screens to that because they could be the difference between a guy like Curry dropping 50 or 30.

                        I will finally get to watch a Wizards game tonight after being on vacation. I think I'm more excited to watch a healthy Russ and KD, though.

                          In that series alone, both the Warriors and Cavs got away with like a million moving screens. The Celtics until about 2011 used to be the biggest offender of this but I think the Warriors have taken that crown as of now.

                          It's kind of problem league wide but Golden State definitely gets away with more than the usual amount.

                            I'm surprised we've moved on from scalp hair to shoulder hair manscaping advice lol does shoulder hair even count as manscaping? Do people really shave that fuzz?

                            If my guy keeps playing the way he has so far, I say embrace the teen wolf affect

                            I never really even considered anything about any manscaping outside of the occasional LeBron hairline joke until yesterday. I was watching the game and they kept zooming in on Andre. I'm like 'bruh, I'm watching this in HD. Do something with that.' Lol

                              I love that he's been able to up his production and still maintain his defensive intensity....
