With the numerous posts degrading the warriors' ball movement with KD on the floor, its worth noting that the warriors were leading the league an assists per game in the playoffs before KD went down

If you really think about it why wouldn’t the warriors be leading playoffs in assists regardless of whether or not KD is detrimental to the ball movement? Look at the other teams that they are compared with and you could go down the line and say why each team is having trouble with assists per game. 76ers - no one outside of butler has been hitting shots Clippers - main chunk of scoring came from Lou will iso Nuggets - throughout the series they can go through tough stretches with no one hitting a shot. Defense is also a big part for them winning Jazz - idk where the offense even came from Pistons - same as jazz Raptors - KAWHI show Thunder - Westbrook. That is all. Celtics - this must be false. Kyrie is a genius.

Honestly kinda surprised tho that bucks and nuggets aren’t a bit higher but maybe that’s just me lol. But yeah my main point being, just cuz warriors lead the playoffs with assists per game doesn’t mean that It can’t get better if KD helped move the ball a bit.

Just playing devils advocate btw lol. Personally I believe the ball movement is fine it’s just steph and klay are in a bit of a funk. This would be a non issue if/when they hit their shots.
