How the Warriors Ball Movement is Breaking Defenses | HHT 34 Part II

On the second part of the thirty-fourth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, XJ and Geoff break down the impressive start of the 6-1 Golden State Warriors. They analyze how the team doubling down on fast-paced, ball-movement-heavy basketball is paying off, even with Steph Curry missing a few games. The Warriors lead the league in key passing and assist metrics, and they’re tapping into one of the league’s deepest rosters, with 13 players averaging double-digit minutes. Next, the focus shifts to Buddy Hield, who’s having an explosive season averaging 31 points per 75 possessions on 71% true shooting. XJ and Geoff explain why Hield’s game fits perfectly with Golden State’s style and why he might be a missing ingredient in their high-speed offense. Tune in as the duo explores why the Warriors are doubling down on their strengths and what this could mean for the rest of the season!
