Misunderstood Concepts: Why It Matters

People do not understand a basic concept of basketball, and that is knowing how teams play. I will give the best-known examples, the Lakers and Warriors. Golden State’s style of play has always been based on a catch and shoot, fast, violent, long-distance and perimeter shooting, few double shots or shots under the rim, they receive very few fouls and rarely go to the free-kick line for that very reason.

The Lakers are a physical team that plays with a lot of wall and unmarking, a lot of screen and a lot of contact to get these fouls, before crying understand that they will not have the same privileges regarding the fouls if they do not make sense of the plays.
