The Spurs didn't play like this until 2013, they used to play like the grizzlies and we're bring AF, that's why people hated them. It was until they copied the Mavs that they began with the crazy ball movement

[@andreiregula2241]

@@josefrancisco4178 this is the worst comment in KZbin history.

[@gorb3790]

@@josefrancisco4178 Not necessarily copied Mavs. It was more because Tim Duncan started to decline and the league getting more and more offensive favored. They can't dominant the paint as great as they did anymore with Duncan only playing 25 mins per night, so Pop says: Let me teach you how to play offense now.

@@yohannchailleux2292 Most of these comments are from south americans... in their exaggerated love for their countrymen (and in everything they are interested on), they overlook other factors and don't care for everyone else, like the genius of Coach Pop.

@@Joelll15 i think you need to take a look at Argentina`s 2001 to 2004 playing to a better understanding of what have you been watching in this video. Pop is a genius, no question about that, but this kind of ball moves doesn`t belong to him.

Keep them guessing and don't let their defense set. The ball moves faster than any player trying to recover and get on his guy. Simple yet brilliant basketball.

[@sp00kyvin]

so smooth....

[@JDefoe1882]

I don't understand why so many teams in the NBA play hero ball with one or two stars...I mean sure those stars should get the most shots but you really don't need them to score 30 every night when you get points from everyone. Ball movement and smart defence are the keys to win games. Unless you have a guy like Jordan or Kobe you need to pass the ball to the open man. And stick to the plan even in the last seconds of a game.

[@cruzanity7478]

Listeroman although there a lot of teams who only give the ball to 1 or 2 guys...a lot of teams began using this movement method like jazz, warriors, 76ers, cavs..not all the time but now they've been doing it more often recently. I noticed it for the past 5 years.

[@JDefoe1882]

yeah, and I love it!

[@JTensei]

CRUZ_GT that’s true. Most of them definitely got it from Pop. Steve Kerr played with the spurs so he picked up a thing or two to use to coach the warriors

[@jym-i491]

AGREED. You cant always play better with defense more than an open man

[@barrymccociner4105]

That's why the GS Warriors are so good. As you said, ball movement and smart defense are the key. When Curry isn't injured, their ball movement is on par with the Spurs AND they have the best shooter of all-time (Curry), and a top five shooter of all-time (Klay), and KD with his nearly unblockable shot. These deadly shooters space the floor, which in turn allows for great efficient ball movement. As for smart defense, they of course have 2x Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green, a great lock-down defender in Klay Thompson, and KD providing great inside defense with his long-ass spaghetti arms.

[@elmarzytzx9756]

The beautifull game

[@TrillHipHop]

1:09 The player in the corner is wide open and ready to hit an open 3. But, since the Spurs player recovered quickly on defense, he drove to the lane to make play making yet another extra pass

[@TrillHipHop]

1:02 I personally really like this one. The Raptors are playing great defense, team defense on a string as I like to call it. The Spurs however are in no hurry, even though they're playing an uptempo halfcourt offensive style right now. So what do the Spurs do? Keep passing the ball until you find an open man

Somehow this (ball movement) just doesn't get you of your seat like the blocks or dunks do. However, the funny thing is that out dunks and blocks, ball movement is the more difficult to execute.

[@northwestwind85]

Now watching this in 2020, it's clear we need to go back to this. Derozan/Aldridge isolation plays are really not ideal and it'd be really nice to let the younger plays take the reigns and go back to the rapid ball movement that instilled here in 2014. I think Lonnie is certainly fast enough to be a rapid plug in the quick ball movement system, Keldon can probably fit the system, Dejounte has shown in the game against the Thunder that he's better without DeRozan, and White is really a intelligent player, he can't ever be Manu, but he can be the brain behind the ball movement.

[@sids3508]

Abram Vargas They could’ve used a bit more of it for these playoffs, the shooting wasn’t really there. They’ll be back next year though
