i'll just drop this one here too. i haven't really cared or paid much of any attention to them even throughout their championship runs, etc. But apparently it's nothing new.

no question that GSW have been coached on this "art" of moving screens - it's very subtle, but there's no doubt that they do it on purpose with the screener backing away from the defender but in a direction that gives them a push off to the side and gives Curry or Klay a little extra space to release their shot.

this draymond example is more egregious with him basically bodying up every celtic player within 10 feet and pushing them away from Curry.

Not to take anything away from Curry or Klay - they are historic all time great shooters. But I hope the refs are paying attention and noting the ways that they are getting help with illegal screens. It's hard enough chasing someone through umpteen legitimate screens. As a defender though you can't do much if the other guy is allowed to move and actively block you.
