Golden State Warriors and Moving Screens

I hate the warriors for their illegal screens and dirty plays, but by paying so much attention to every screen they set I realized that they are really really good at setting screens. Like legal ones. When hey set legal screens they are very good at it and makes it difficult for the other team to defend the rolling shooter.

The problem is its almost impossible to defend when they illegally screen. Its frustrating and demoralizing and I visably watched ariza give up fighting and going thru screens game 5 because of this.

They don't have to be dirty and set illegal screens in order to be a dominant team, but they do it anyways and that's why there is so much backlash.

Its frustrating for both the players and fans and needs to be corrected, and its not trying to make an excuse as to why they are so great, but just to look for fairness and execution of the rules.

They set a lot of screens, and Klay and Curry are some of the best shooters to take advantage of them. Most of them are very solid, legal screens, but Bogut and Green set very dirty screens by "stumbling" backwards into the defender's path or outright holding jerseys/bear hugging defenders. Those have to be cleaned up.

I'm also not a fan of Curry's screens where he sets them and falls on contact, earning a defensive foul. You're a small, expect to get hit hard if you set a screen.

Splitting hairs here, but I would say half of them are. Then 1/4 are questionable, then 1/4 are blatantly wrong.
