No reason for the beautiful game tbh. Any ball movement should stop as soon as Aldridge is looking at an open 15 foot shot. No extra passes necessary.

this team could potentially even be better than the 2014 iteration.....
but of course, im getting excited, this is just one game after all.....we shall see..........
LMA was going in NO VASELINE tonight!
People forget what The Beautiful Game was about. Being aesthetically pleasing was a byproduct--the goal was efficiency. Efficiency in bodies moving, efficiency in conversion of looks, etc.
Aldridge with an open midrange shot is efficient. That isn't Tiago out there. Kawhi in an iso is efficient as well.
Lamarcus and Kawhi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Durant and Westbrook
Damn...They're destroying people in the playoffs.
But we still need the Beautiful Game with the 2nd unit. When Kawhi/LMA, both are on the bench, the Spurs need ball-movement to create good looks.
I would argue that this is the closest the Spurs have come to emulating TBG since 2014.
Rather than dribble dribble dribble, this is the first time all year I saw them play inside out, and find open looks.
Assist numbers tell the story.
In other cogent news, water is wet.
It's all about balance and efficiency. Function over form.
But also we have now, two elite ISO/mid-range shooters, and that has changed the offense. But agree with you that the dribble-dribble-dribble don't generate favorable shooting situations anymore.
Yea the 2014 team doesn't fit this team, I've been begging for ball movement, and glad to finally see some, 39 assists![]()
No Vaseline? That er put on a sandpaper condom
Let this Semen Front over Fat Antonio wash over us and cleanse our prior butthurt away. Amen.
I want to have sex in your butt.

The Spurs punish defensive insolence with their ruthless precision.
Sloppy as Thunder, this is what you deserve.
39 assists IIRC... Wow.
This is the biggest resemblance to the beautiful game I've seen since 2014... Everything changes when Danny hits his threes. LMA was torching them 1 on 1 instead of being doubled like he always is, Kawhi got multiple open lanes to the rim because they were sticking to Danny in the corner etc.
Donovan's anwser for game 2? Pressuring/double teaming LMA while Kawhi is feasting on 1-on-1 matchups.
The Spurs made an effort to move the ball and score in the paint, which is the big difference IMO. That's what opens up Danny's shooting. Aldridge and Danny could have had average shooting nights and the Spurs still blow them out. They didn't just throw the ball into the post and stand around like they did in the first round.
