These deep analysis is such a great content, regular people like me just watch the games unfold without absolutely knowing the full science and breakdown of every possession in the game.
Tatum was hedging the drive and a Steph curry stepback. He hoped that by forcing Steph left, Jrue would be able to stop any lay-up that Steph would make inside. Assuming Steph gets through, JT can start helping off and shoot the passing lane if ever. If Steph steps back, Jrue would be following him, making a stepback 3 harder, and JT can cut off the driving lane for a 2v1 wherein Steph's passing lane to Buddy would be tight. Yes, it was on JT not being able to read the kickout, knowing Buddy was in the corner, and he just got passed by Steph on the drive. I think, however, that he thought Steph would do an otd 3 or stepback 3 and hyperfocused on it, since he'd rather give up a Buddy Hield cas 3 on a closeout than a Steph stepback 3
He was playing hope defense in those last five minutes. Just didn't have the edge we're used to. He does that sometimes, he gets way too in his head and loses concentration in crunch time.
This game and season convinced me that steve kerr isn’t a terrible coach. Last year it felt like he was stuck in his ways trying to do the same thing he did in the championship years, but with older guys and less talent. Klay leaving seems to have shocked the system a bit.
He is, you gotta give Stotts and Stackhouse credit. Look at Kerr with Atkinson last year vs this year. Night and day (also in personnel, but his bad lineup decisions still linger). You wanna see signs of Kerr decision, the Cavs game starting 5, almost throwing 30 pts lead over Houston.
@@fobinc its a growth thing for kerr too remember, he pioneered the entire culture of modern basketball, high pnr, dho, mass 3 shooting, small ball and more. We were in a league where durant and harden would iso 30 times a game. Give him half a season, this year has 2022 vibes for sure.
Love switching from @awfulcoaching to Daniel; in that order though. I need the calm, soothing voice of Mr. Li, and his minimalist breakdown with no arrows cluttering the screen, just textual cues to clue us in, is _chef's kiss_ perfect right after watching an apoplectic Bobby Knight 2.0 about to lose it, screaming at bad defensive plays for 10 minutes straight lol

Tracking these two teams through the season would be plenty material to fill the channel. Boston's comeback win vs Bucks on their best shooting streak yet, then Warriors handedly beating OKC is just a start.
this video is amazing you made this into such an interesting chess match looking at the ebb and flow of the game with adjustments and reactions and perfect play examples and told a genuine story especially with finding Steve Kerr and reading his lips "we're not that fucking team anymore"
It seemed like when the warrior 'blitzed' with curry, there were trying to do a more aggrseive version of the show and recover defense that they have used to protect Curry from mismatch hunting in the past. I guess there not as worried about the center catching in the middle vs a guard. Tatum screening White was both a good counter to the blitz bc it would give the advatage to Tatum, and a good counter to the show and recover bc it makes it harder for curry to stay connected to white.
Neemias lands right under Steph’s landing space… no foul. No flagrant foul. Nothing. But SGA can run into people and get a whistle EASY. Comedic stuff by the refs when it comes to Steph once again.
"Warriors and Celtics came in as the top 2 teams in the NBA?" Weren't the thunder and Cavs the top 2 in the NBA by record? Anyway great analysis as always coach!
the OG players say that the current players couldn't play in their time. and they cite the rule changes on defense. the converse is true. OGs couldn't play now because they couldn't switch snd cover four positions
Steph is as good as 2016 lebron rn. The fact he didn’t have a great game but in the 4th quarter took over the game with the opposing team has 2 Allstars and someone in the mvp race . Crazy
I feel like that would require so muchpefect communication, That play is tough to guard. The warriors whipped out a 3-1-1 zone for a couple plays to try and counter that stack 3 man action. you can see it at the 5:25 and 1:00 minute mark of the third quarter. I guess that way the 1-1 part of the zone up top and in the middle is the guards responsible for the shooter and ball handler and the midddle man of the 3 on the backline takes the roller
It's honestly the most unstoppable action imo because there's so many variations you can run. Like Andy said, it really requires perfect communication. Usually some form of switching and coordinating who takes who can slow it down but many teams have a lot of trouble stopping it consistently.
“Strength in numbers” only works for the warriors bc of Steph. When they enter the playoffs the rotation will shorten on all teams. But steph gotten to the point in his career were if he’s the best player on the court . He’ll completely take over the game
I don't like how all the teams are trying to be Curry, having everyone on the team shooting 3s, including the center, who are traditionally in the post, but instead using the PF for that duty now. Wtf
Top two teams in the NBA? You forget the Cavs exist? Boston was number 2 BEHIND Cleveland, even when this game was played. Love how Cleveland can't get the recognition it deserves
I love the Warriors but guys we can’t keep saying they beat the defending champs when both brown and porz being out. Sure same jersey, but we can’t make the same conclusion.
U realli think they can shoot 65% from the field ever game if regular shooting percentages come in the play we beating them bro bt I take the L’s with grace no excuse gtta be better
4:22 there's no way you should be that confident thinking you know what he said here. its asinine to think you can KNOW FOR SURE what he said. you didn't even say, "It looks like he could possibly be saying", which is fine-ish. i mean, if we don't know for 100% what someone said, why would we focus on that?. now if him or one of the players or other coaches, NON-ANONYMOUSLY, told someone or the media that that's what he actually said, then i could get you saying that.. but like i said before, it's a very ignorant thing to do. you wouldn't want someone putting words in your mouth, would you?
Without Boston having Brown, Porzingis, and Horford, doing a video on this match is pretty pointless. Boston was at half strength, meaning the GSW is of no real significance.
you mention tactics not having brown porzingos and hofford is gonna have a major effect on that teams "tactics" if all those players were available it's obvious said "tactics" will change
cavs and thunder were undefeated coming into this game and went on to give the warriors better fights, so how was this the best two teams in the league😂 next game against the cavs they certainly looked like that turnover prone team again
DANIEL PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE FULL GAME ANALYSISISISISIS YOURE THE GOAT
Especially critical games from contending teams :)
Yes agreed pls pls
Fr, new to basketball and it’s why I subbed

It so often feels like Tatum’s controller gets disconnected… like what is he doing watching Buddy get wide open??
tf you mean often, name another time this year

He's got two new good assistant coaches in his staff. Terry Stotts handles the offense while Jerry Stackhouse as defensive coordinator.

How tf did yall even conclude he was a terrible coach. Mfer transformed the game along with Steph with his offense schemes.
He's just not as adaptive as I thought. Give them the pieces he needs, he'd make it work.
@7:30 "Pulls up on his ass" i found that hilariously out of character from you 😂
me too lmao
He always does that at least once in a longer video like this and it gets me every time lmao
Was about to say, was not expecting that at all 😂
I had to replay to make sure I heard what I heard
ran it back at least 3 times to make sure my ears were clear 🤣

It unironically hits hard when AC yells at my favorite team after a bewildering loss though…
Hahaha I was just thinking how relaxing this breakdown was compared to AC
Daniel Li and Awful Coaching are the LeBron James and Michael Jordans of NBA breakdowns

you’re incredibly talented with your analysis and clear explanation!

Thanks for the thoughtful content Daniel! 🙏
Very clear and organized breakdown. You did an awesome job man
"He decides to pull up on his ass for three.." the recent random swearing out of nowhere is absolutely killing me 😂
I love it. And I love how it's just once randomly in each video lmao
Great commentary and analysis. Subbed!
As someone who haven't seen the match, this feels like watching a movie! Good job!
you're a basketball genius daniel
gs outran the double big early. kp's spacing is the celtics' ultimate weapon.
Great great great analysis. Looking forward to more.
That was a really good breakdown. You're helping me appreciate the game of basketball more.
And btw your my favorite basketball creator your breakdowns are great keep up the great work
Nice vid! gsw showed up to play okc last night too 🔥
Derrick White is a fvckin swiss knife!
Keep up the amazing work!
i love these vids man! nba is so back
this video is amazing you made this into such an interesting chess match looking at the ebb and flow of the game with adjustments and reactions and perfect play examples and told a genuine story especially with finding Steve Kerr and reading his lips "we're not that fucking team anymore"
This was great please do this for warriors and mavs from last night

Weren't the thunder and Cavs the top 2 in the NBA by record?
Anyway great analysis as always coach!
cavs gonna fold in the playoffs like they did last year and chet just fractured his hip
Good analysis!!!
Holy thanks for the breakdown
Kerr is goated
I like to call the Steph and Hield duo, “ Bucket Buddies “
Butt buddies*
True because Hield is a much better overall scorer than Klay was so "Bucket Buddies" is more fitting
sounds like a new KFC combo bra tf
@@abovoluv butt buddies*
10:41 *splash buddy, but overall great video!!
He meant they aren't that team from last year that turns the ball over alot. When he said "we're not that team anymore"
I WAS THE 1000TH LIKE ON THIS VIDEO💯👍🏾
Warriors still the best chemistry in the league
the OG players say that the current players couldn't play in their time. and they cite the rule changes on defense. the converse is true. OGs couldn't play now because they couldn't switch snd cover four positions
I swear the refs hate the Dubs. We never get any foul calls
Cuz yall just shoot threes 💀. Barley go paint .

Love all you videos Daniel, do you have anything in the works breaking down how the cavs started 11-0
Probably soon but not the next 2 videos
So what's the best way to defend the stack PNR? Do the handler and shooter's defenders switch and the roll man's defender sticks to him?

The warriors knew how to defeat Jason tantrum!
If anyone is going to guard Steph, it would have to be Jrue and Derrick. Steph's offense is just that good.
3:22 why does horford gets called a travel here?
“Strength in numbers” only works for the warriors bc of Steph. When they enter the playoffs the rotation will shorten on all teams. But steph gotten to the point in his career were if he’s the best player on the court . He’ll completely take over the game
This is the one of the best game breakdowns iv ever watched. Great job man wow
The most the warriors have played is a 12 man rotation they had some injuries to a couple different players and lindy stepped in as the 12th man
Hield isn’t related to the splash bros, he’s just a splash buddy
It's Strength in Number 30 now
That game was Tatum’s to lose.
The splash buddies
9:17 a montage of Tatum getting as cooked as he gets in, is nothing but bliss.
"So what happens when the defenders don't fall" 🤣🤣
I don't like how all the teams are trying to be Curry, having everyone on the team shooting 3s, including the center, who are traditionally in the post, but instead using the PF for that duty now. Wtf
Best basketball analyst.
You’re not a Warriors fan or you’d know there are no NEW Splash Bros….that title is reserved for Steph and Klay. It’s in the past.
all that remains now is the Splash Father and his team of Splashlets
Pullup on his ass for three means bad coaching is living your head rent free 😂
Does kerr want steph to blitz on that moment when kerr was upset???
Top two teams in the NBA? You forget the Cavs exist? Boston was number 2 BEHIND Cleveland, even when this game was played. Love how Cleveland can't get the recognition it deserves
you forget cleveland will drop in the playoffs like last year, thats why warriors and celtics are the 2 best teams
I love the Warriors but guys we can’t keep saying they beat the defending champs when both brown and porz being out. Sure same jersey, but we can’t make the same conclusion.
0:20 bro don’t be calling hield and steph splash bros more like splash duo or some shit😂
nah splash bros or buddies
0:01 reminds me of James Harden 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

3am post?! Now I understand it
Blowout vs the cavs tho
U realli think they can shoot 65% from the field ever game if regular shooting percentages come in the play we beating them bro bt I take the L’s with grace no excuse gtta be better
Warriors are def doing better then I assumed and the cavs are starting great this season

Boston was 12-0 without brown up to this point
Lakers, weak in numbers....specifically the bench

😂😂😂 porzingis, brown were out and Brandin and Melton were out...
how was that a travel at 3:20?
JB is arguably the best player on that Celtic team and just like Steph he is missed when playing top tier teams.
Always have said it and will continue: Tatum is SOFT. The way to beat the Celtics is with physicality and force.
5 seconds in and I already smell propaganda. Look, I don't watch the Cavs. But saying GSW and the Celtics were the best two teams going in is wild.
Celtics? Top heavy??? With Payton Pritchard Sam Hauser and Queta off the bench? Be for real…
3:24 Not a travel. What a shitty call.
I would watch 3 videos like this per day if you gave us the opportunity

If only the Warriors can continue to play teams without 2 of their best 3 players.
Yea....Warriors were not the second best team in the league. The Cavs were....think we proved that by boat racing them.
Roster cant be top heavy if the entire rotation is elite our 6-9 are more than capable & would start on A LOT of other teams.
might want to cut down on your swearing. Dont lose your class.
cavs and thunder were undefeated coming into this game and went on to give the warriors better fights, so how was this the best two teams in the league😂 next game against the cavs they certainly looked like that turnover prone team again
So just skip the game where that got demolished by the Cavs huh? 😂
yup 1 game bro
