We need more ball movement

I have watched most of our games this year, i really like our squad..but the one thing we need to improve on is ball movement. Our offense seems pretty predictable. Alot of ISO ball. I mean when you have KD and westbrook, you can obviously get away with it and win some ball games. I am scared when it comes to playoffs though. I think we need to make the second and third pass, to find the open man. Similar to how the spurs and Heat play. If we can get more ball movement, we will be unstoppable.

I've actually thought all season that it has been quite a bit better than in previous years. Russ and Durant play off of each other a lot more than in the past, Serge is constantly the beneficiary of good ball movement, and Fisher/Butler/Jackson take a lot more open 3s than they probably should just because the ball is moving around a lot more fluidly. Assuming we can get over the Russ/Thabo/Perk injury inconsistency better than we have previously adjusted to lineup changes this season, I'm pretty optimistic.

Yeah, it really hasn't been an issue much except a few specific situations, but its usually end of game where you always have an iso w/ KD or Russ. Lots of open 3s as you said, even Roberson and Adams seem to get some good looks which is kind of amazing for rookies. Also I just checked as its kind of amazing, but I can only find maybe 3 other teams who consistently start 2 or more rookies. Boston, Philly, and the Bucks along with OKC...one of these teams is not like the others....
