Really. Going back to even 2012 with the 20 straight and playoff romp until Thunderef rigged Game 6.
Last years Championship (woops) and this years team and playoffs, the ball movement and involvement of players besides The 3 has been at most times beyond excellent.
In the mic'd up Game 2 today, Pop reemphasized, "Don't let the ball stick...." meaning keep the ball moving. If you do have to stop and look for an open player or decide to shoot or drive yourself, do it quickly.
My only complaint is that when Spurs players on their own go outside of this, namely Parker and Ginobili, they are given the Sacred Cow status and are not criticized by Pop. Unless he is behind closed doors.
Parker cut wayy down on his Hero Ball for much of Game 2, obviously by design as often when he crossed halfcourt he gave the ball up immediately. But then he reverts back to ballhog with the game on the line. :rolleyes Again, appears its not what Pop drew up.
Anywho props on 3 years of beauty ball movement when the Spurs do it.
