The Golden State Warriors have taken their transition game to another level that no team can compete with right now.

The Cavaliers are obviously more balanced in the overall picture. This will no longer be a problem for this new Golden State Warriors team. When Golden State made themselves two times better at what they were already good at, they essentially made their own category of basketball that no one has figured out.

While some teams have gotten wins over this Warriors team the shots being off every once in a blue moon has a lot to do with it. On a regular day, the Warriors will hit more shots than they miss. The transition game of Golden State has reached new levels and is big reason why they are scoring 119.1 points per game.

They have perfected the art of moving the ball ahead following a rebound and either getting into quick hitters when the defense is out of position or just simply spotting out open shooter or cutters from the time the ball is rebounded.

The Dubs run the floor like a flock of birds and with the tension between the Warriors and Cavs, expect them to run wild and not look back. While Cleveland can run with anyone, the Warriors aren’t just anyone in transition, they are a bucket waiting to happen.
