Rudy and Draymond were straight up holding and pushing defenders as screeners in refs face as their shooters got open. Show this to coaches or league a decade ago and theyd be speechless
thanks Warriors for this
Every time I see a Celtics fan complain about moving screens (you are NOT wrong) I just get flashbacks of Garnett laughing about it and Perkins making a career out of it. KG made a joke about it at one point, saying Perkins was only allowed to do it because they were teammates (when Perk was moved to OKC)
Refs have always allowed the older big men to get away with it but Perk got grandfathered into that club by just being on the same team as KG.
But like I said you aren't wrong. The game today is full of moving screens. Ironically as the league has more skill than ever it is also incredibly sloppy due to the lack of properly officiated games. Travel/Carry and moving screens all just kill me, then you add in the rip through jumpers and it is just painful at times.
So, last night I almost replied to one of your comments (not sure if it was this one or another) with this:
"I've been surprised at the lack of rigged games for the last week or two. We'll see if the Lakers game tonight changes this trend."
The only reason I didn't post it was because I decided to sleep instead of watching that game.
Then I wake up and see the Lakers shot 27 more free throws than the Pacers in a 5-point win.
