One fascinating tidbit from the post-game interview with Luka last night:
The interviewer was asking Luka about the behind-the-head-through-the-arms pass to Exum for the three at the top of the key. How did he do it? How did he see where Exum was?
Luka answered that he always tells his teammates NOT TO MOVE, and he'll remember where they are.
So really, he doesn't have to look very much. He can throw the ball to a spot, and know there will be someone there.
Obviously, that isn't true for every situation, like Lively's lobs. But I think the system is designed for perimeter players to stand and wait, and be ready to shoot threes.
So for those of you that want a GS-style, full-motion offense... there's that.
