While Coach is making some good points, this isn’t anything we haven’t heard of. With Draymond, healthy personnel who are smart and willing to play the system, Golden State has always had a great defense under Kerr’s tenure. Even if they lack the profile for it, they always try and know what the plan is. Draymond anchoring it helps too.
Warriors system is fascinating unlike most teams they get the entire team involved and they all know their role. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see them back in the finals.

I love that you’re giving my boy Looney his shine. People sleep on him but his defense and rebounds don’t get enough attention. He does the dirty work and he doesn’t complain.
Seeing Wiggins turn into an elite shutdown wing makes me so happy for him as a wolves fan, starting to wish we had been able to keep him around rather than trading him for DLo
he probably wouldnt have been this good especially on defense if he stayed there, so might as well get someone that'll make one of your stars happy. it's a win-win for both sides. if wiggins stayed there he wouldve been as good defensively as dlo but worse offensively so it isnt all that bad for you guys at the end of the day

When Wiggins was traded to GSW for Dlo, everyone treated him as an afterthought. GSW is so good at picking up "broken" pieces and turning them into game changers. Love his defense and his offensive consistency. Wiggins is a modern day 3 and D wing that can make an impact in a contending team. Dlo, though...
Love this Looney praise. He’s the least talented man on that roster but he’s just a solid player. He won’t wow you but his impact is clear in film study
His high iq and great team defense fundamentals guarentees himself a place in this league for the foreseeable as a back up big. He plays way different than his college days. He was used in the Kyle Anderson role while at UCLA and he did wonders in that role, fast forward to now, hes a stationary below the rim big.
The Warriors are very focused this year !they know everybody is coming for them and I believe they want to be ready! I'm looking for MVP caviar play from Steph Curry and I'm looking for Klay Thomas to show up to be his old self after 2 years clay feels like he has something to prove!
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 Yeah well fuck them! As an OKC Fan the history isn’t good lol But I am genuinely shocked and respect what they’re doing. Dynasty. Generational game changing teams and players. Huge fan base. A lot has changed in the past 10yrs
The way you pointed out kevon's value and how well the system operates is amazing. I'm a long time warrior fan and it's just amazing to watch warrior's basketball at full potential once more. Oh wait, klay isn't back yet.
I've always thought that 3rd quarter performance was an excellent measure of coaching quality. This reflects which team has analysed the other better, and come up with adjustments to offensive and defensive plans based on first half performance.
Agreed-- love the joy they play with. We posted a video ranking the best NBA jerseys ever. Warriors, Bucks, Celtics and more made the list. Please watch on our channel when you get the chance -- thank you!
I simply cannot do it, unless it's a tight game towards the end of the 4th quarter with a team I like other than Golden State which is about 2 other teams only, other than that hell no😂😂😂
Made a lot of sense given that the nets often had lineups where kd and harden were the only shooting threats. They really need to improve their shooting depth. Harris was out and Mills can't go all 48. Those are their only movement shooters
Nick Nurse brought it out against them, and it worked against them. Now they have a better collection of defenders than Toronto thats not named Kawhi and realized Joe Harris isnt playing, it worked to perfection. Itll do wonders against low iq, star reliant iso happy teams.
Thanks although it's too early to anoint us. I'm just glad we seem to be back to the 2015 standards we set. Watching the last 2 years have been rough as a warriors fan. Hopefully we win it all again this year
@callmecatalyst I agree with all this bro. Just didn't want to trigger any GSW haters you know. This team will definitely run circles around the 2015 squad and take 2016 team to 7 games at least. I'm super excited. I think we get out of the West easily and if we add Klay and Wiseman it's a wrap on the chip. Go Dubs
I feel like the Raptors play this type of defense too... I wonder if the constant injuries keeps them from being this coordinated though. I guess the Warriors know their personnel better and don't swarm the point of attack or help one pass away as much
This reminds me a lot of the raptors coordination in 2019 and 2020, injuries and high roster turnover have made it tough to get the defense going this season. The only thing is that the raptors are lacking rim protectors this year (Ibaka and Gasol ran the scheme perfectly), and raptors prioritize 3pt contests a bit more
@@r34nissangtr31 I don't disagree with you fully. I do think the Raptors are trying to run this scheme, but I don't think the issue is as much the lack of Gasol (other than his defensive IQ and talking from the backline - he has nowhere near the mobility that Looney has)... a little bit of Ibaka, but the lack of Kawhi and Danny Green in terms of both iso skills and help skills and defensive IQ, that Draymond and Iggie have... and Wiggins and GP have in terms of their commitment on D. I gotta say though... this is frigging beautiful to watch. Everyone is on a string and on the same page on both ends of the court. I would love to play in a system like this... if I wouldn't drop dead after about 2 minutes from a heart attack!
@@jonathanlau6964 losing Kawhi as a main stopper certainly hurt but I think those two have been more than replaced by OG and GTJ. Gasol's mobility certainly wasn't great in his last season with the raps but he made up for it with great IQ. Loosing Lowry as a "commander" on defence similar to Draymond has also hurt them for sure. I can't deny that it's beautiful to watch either way
What's really impressive is most, including myself, are only just now realizing they're recreating the Small-Ball Death line-up pre-KD era squad, while most of the original squad is still starting or are key contributors off the bench in their second unit, and the older, "role players" are part of the staff like Shaun Livingston
I love Looney, his defense is underrated, and he does all the little things so well, I would not start Wiseman over him, Looney knows our system so much better
@@Alwaysindys yeah that's what i want to see !they have to manage to win these kind of games especially the close ones ! i think that's how they will prove they're truly in contention, cause in the playoffs most games are close.
It’s incredible how good this team has been so far…and you could argue that Poole and looney are the weakest links in the starting lineup. Get Klay and Wiseman in there, the depth goes from good to amazing. If they remain healthy, I can’t really think of a way they aren’t favorites
I'd say Looney is pretty stable, great defender, great rebounder, great screen setter, although mediocre on offense, if you have Curry you just need to set things for him, Poole is still a bit streaky tho, he has improve alot but still alot more to do, his 3pt shooting goes up and down, although I like his aggressiveness, a bit lacking on defense but he knows what to do, Wiseman is still raw regardless of what people say, but we all know his upside of you watch warriors play with him on the floor, he gotta watch getting fouls tho and gotta rebound better he fumbles alot.
I still have more confidence in Looney when it comes to defense tho. Hopefully Wiseman learns a lot by watching him so he can be on the right position just like Looney
I remember watching this game thinking warriors have 6 players on the court during the 3rd quarter, their triangle defense and box and 1 made it look like they were double-teaming anyone with the ball, their defence was indeed like what Steve Kerr said, suffocating, what a great show of defensive powess.
Hope this vid gives Loon some deserved shine. Lots of Dubs fans pick on him, saying he's slow, gets no stats, never leaves the ground.... those things are all true, but Loon is an amazing player for Kerr's system. He routinely gets into great defensive position due to his great BBIQ, despite being slow, is underrated with his perimeter defense (after famously getting shown up in 2016 Finals), and crucially for the Dubs, can keep the ball moving on offense as well. His value to the Dubs has always far outweighed his salary, and that's why he is a starter on this team. The Dubs hope Wiseman can take over his position, but it won't be this year.
I've wrote this comment on various videos but Kevon Looney deserves tons of credit. He has outlasted MANY Centers that have been on GSW...MOST of who were far more athletic, taller, and stronger than Loon. But his effort, BBall IQ, awareness, and toughness is unparalleled. May health continue to bless him.
I absolutely love this Warriors line-up this year. Poole’s improvement, JTA, Mitten…it’s the Kerr system and choosing players who are smart and willing to learn it. If they win a championship this year, it will be so much more rewarding than when they broke the NBA and did it with KD.
Plus wiseman always wanted to score maybe not quite look for open players enough. He needs to learn more from draymond and less from KD if he wants to be a winner.
Dubs going back to their old mantra, "Strength in Numbers", and boy are the numbers astounding, 1st in Offensive and Defensive Rating, while also leading the league in PPG in the 3rd Quarter. This speaks to the halftime adjustments and the willingness of the team to play off each other, play for each other, and playing around each other. And once Klay comes back (even though he'll be on a minutes restriction), Dubs will be even more dangerous
Honestly how the fuck? It is just not fair how the warriors are this good again with essentially only two of their previous monster roster (2015-2019) left. Everyone keeps talking about how curry will win another MVP, the thing I'm thinking is that Steve Kerr should win another coach of the year. We should start acknowledging him as the all time great coach he is.
We posted a video ranking the best NBA jerseys ever. Warriors, Bucks, Celtics and more made the list. Please watch on our channel when you get the chance -- thank you!
Draymond Green defensive efficiency slowing down KD, love it, hmm. and Wiggins excellent defense, looney has stepped up and Gary payton the glove jr, solid, Stephen Curry getting steals each game, Warriors defense, Rebounds n assist in the Steve Kerr's Motion offense, shining bright.
Their play thus far is unbelievable. It is incredibly fun to watch. This video is for all the people who said they would need to trade off their young talent and a starter in order to get back to the Finals.
The beautiful part here is that I still hear fading whispers from all those people who talked negatively about Steve Kerr's coaching ability; "because he had KD, Steph, and Klay they basically coached themselves" or how he inherited a pre-made system. Kerr has evolved into one of the best, if not the best, active coaches in the league. It's not that those guys are so good they don't need him but that he knows how to get the best out of his players. Seriously, Steph has gotten better every year under him.
So fun and so exciting watching the golden state warriors ball movement and team plays 😍♥️ they're the best of the best!! Go for the championship GSW!!! Long live dub nation!! 💪♥️ Curry!! (MVP)
I just think they are clicking on both sides of the ball overall especially on the defense end without Klay Thompson overall and James wiseman is really impressive.🏀
Its one thing to have a defensive scheme for the game, its another for the players to be cohesive to execute it. Its as if they’ ve been doing it for years but its only been 15 games. They still have a ton more games to go and that defense will only get tighter. The most simple way to understand what the objective of their defense is simple, if the team makes most of their scores inside the paint or mid- range, they’ll take that away. They will force the bad shooters to take 3s and live with the results.
Yes the warriors are great now but imagine if kd stayed. Assuming steph still goes down and the pandemic happens, they'll still get wiseman. With kd back last season, they could've even made it to the finals last year. Then their main rotation this season would be a starting 5 of curry klay kd green looney + a bench of poole, bjelica, porter, gp2, dlee, iggy, jta, and wiseman.
@@3isthenew1 maybe I know in 2020 Wiseman is the 2nd pick in the draft and Jonathan kunmenga is the 7th last year Not sure we will be getting that high of a pick with KD on board 🤔.
@@jonslife i'm sure we won't be getting Kuminga if KD played last year (that's why I didn't mention him in my first comment), but if we assume that Steph still injures his hand against Phoenix, the Warriors would actually be much worse without DLo and with Curry, KD, and Green recovering from their injuries. Either way they end up as the worst team in the NBA and get the #2 pick in the draft and still draft Wiseman.

Looney has grown a lot, he used to fumble the ball a lot but the Warriors know to train him on defense to get his confidence up.
He's playing so well!!

I still have more confidence in Looney when it comes to defense tho. Hopefully Wiseman learns a lot by watching him so he can be on the right position just like Looney
This is still the best basketball content on youtube. 10-12 min video from coach nick with the OG music
🙏🙏🏀🏀
Fantastic video. Love seeing some great defense, especially from players like draymond, GP2, and Iggy
Thanks so much for this entertaining and sharp analysis. No point watching other analysis.
When u said "some dude named klay" i got shivers
Coach Nick,, Thanks for doing this game. I was hoping you would.
Steal sharpens steal. Draymond Steph klay and iggy scrimmaging each other, those dudes are sharp AF!
the warriors defense is so dope
This is my favorite game of GSW so far...the defense and the offense just unbelievable
I'm a fan of some dude named "Klay", friendly guy
I remember watching this game thinking warriors have 6 players on the court during the 3rd quarter, their triangle defense and box and 1 made it look like they were double-teaming anyone with the ball, their defence was indeed like what Steve Kerr said, suffocating, what a great show of defensive powess.
2k be disrespecting K looneys defense especially lateral quickness , he has the best footwork for a big , he has the balance of a guard
Hope this vid gives Loon some deserved shine. Lots of Dubs fans pick on him, saying he's slow, gets no stats, never leaves the ground.... those things are all true, but Loon is an amazing player for Kerr's system. He routinely gets into great defensive position due to his great BBIQ, despite being slow, is underrated with his perimeter defense (after famously getting shown up in 2016 Finals), and crucially for the Dubs, can keep the ball moving on offense as well.
His value to the Dubs has always far outweighed his salary, and that's why he is a starter on this team. The Dubs hope Wiseman can take over his position, but it won't be this year.
The transition to the ad is amazing
Its crazy, I used to hate the warriors especially as a thunder fan, but now I have so much respect for how they play and I can't wait to see them play
11:11 Sheesh, the way Draymond pulls his jersey and shoves his face. That's peak defense.
The GSW are finally going back to their core. Strength In Numbers. EVERY player on the Roster is effective period.
They really play beautiful defence. Everyone knows exactly what to do and when to do it and then they actually do it!
I've wrote this comment on various videos but Kevon Looney deserves tons of credit.
He has outlasted MANY Centers that have been on GSW...MOST of who were far more athletic, taller, and stronger than Loon.
But his effort, BBall IQ, awareness, and toughness is unparalleled.
May health continue to bless him.
I absolutely love this Warriors line-up this year. Poole’s improvement, JTA, Mitten…it’s the Kerr system and choosing players who are smart and willing to learn it. If they win a championship this year, it will be so much more rewarding than when they broke the NBA and did it with KD.
These defensive breakdowns are the 🐐
Coach sure does love him some warriors videos 😎
They won the Championship and KD and Kyrie got swept....you can't make this sh-t up😂😂😂💀
I’m concerned for what’ll happen to the defense when Wiseman is on the floor. I’m more comfortable w Looney even though he can’t make lay ups lol.
I hope they can train him to move and think faster. Like imagine kuminga speed with wiseman body!
Plus wiseman always wanted to score maybe not quite look for open players enough. He needs to learn more from draymond and less from KD if he wants to be a winner.
Dubs going back to their old mantra, "Strength in Numbers", and boy are the numbers astounding, 1st in Offensive and Defensive Rating, while also leading the league in PPG in the 3rd Quarter. This speaks to the halftime adjustments and the willingness of the team to play off each other, play for each other, and playing around each other. And once Klay comes back (even though he'll be on a minutes restriction), Dubs will be even more dangerous
Honestly how the fuck? It is just not fair how the warriors are this good again with essentially only two of their previous monster roster (2015-2019) left. Everyone keeps talking about how curry will win another MVP, the thing I'm thinking is that Steve Kerr should win another coach of the year. We should start acknowledging him as the all time great coach he is.
Im with you but likes not act like Curry ain't the system. Without him the system breaks.
Draymond is a defensive genius. He is unbelievably everywhere contesting shots!
More videos, more often, come on, I almost forgot that channel exists.
You should analyze every game every day!
We posted a video ranking the best NBA jerseys ever. Warriors, Bucks, Celtics and more made the list. Please watch on our channel when you get the chance -- thank you!
I would love to see 80's nba breakdowns like this
warriors team chemistry is the best in the league
Good defense is also offense. Warriors looking like 2015 Warriors team. Strength in Numbers!
Warriors #1 defense, lets go!
Draymond Green defensive efficiency slowing down KD, love it, hmm. and Wiggins excellent defense, looney has stepped up and Gary payton the glove jr, solid, Stephen Curry getting steals each game, Warriors defense, Rebounds n assist in the Steve Kerr's Motion offense, shining bright.
When James Wiseman and Klay Thompson come back, its a wrap, #GoWarriors!
Former Raps 905 defensive player of the year. Young Glove
Safe to say Coach is deep down Curry’s biggest fan
Hahaha 😝
This video really makes me appreciate basketball
god i love me some bball breakdown, most especially on the warriors.
Another awesome analysis. From the best.
Their play thus far is unbelievable. It is incredibly fun to watch. This video is for all the people who said they would need to trade off their young talent and a starter in order to get back to the Finals.
The beautiful part here is that I still hear fading whispers from all those people who talked negatively about Steve Kerr's coaching ability; "because he had KD, Steph, and Klay they basically coached themselves" or how he inherited a pre-made system. Kerr has evolved into one of the best, if not the best, active coaches in the league. It's not that those guys are so good they don't need him but that he knows how to get the best out of his players. Seriously, Steph has gotten better every year under him.
Well said and absolutely true.
So fun and so exciting watching the golden state warriors ball movement and team plays 😍♥️ they're the best of the best!! Go for the championship GSW!!! Long live dub nation!! 💪♥️ Curry!! (MVP)
Godbless the music is back!
This thumbnail further proves that Steph is the one that should have been on Space Jam 2
I woulda watched space jam if it was Steph,
Bit of a scare today vs the cavs but we pulled through and finished strong. Let's go dubs!
"...some dude named Klay." Nice breakdown!
The warriors are scary this season, i love it
I'm enjoying Nba again...thank you Curry and Warriors and you also coach
I just think they are clicking on both sides of the ball overall especially on the defense end without Klay Thompson overall and James wiseman is really impressive.🏀
Its one thing to have a defensive scheme for the game, its another for the players to be cohesive to execute it. Its as if they’ ve been doing it for years but its only been 15 games. They still have a ton more games to go and that defense will only get tighter. The most simple way to understand what the objective of their defense is simple, if the team makes most of their scores inside the paint or mid- range, they’ll take that away. They will force the bad shooters to take 3s and live with the results.
Am glad KD left. Look at the last 2yrs GSW did they went young and drafted well and still have Andre, curry klay and green.
Yup, we got back to our Strength In Numbers!
@@_morgoth_ Bob Mayers and the owners 👏
Yes the warriors are great now but imagine if kd stayed. Assuming steph still goes down and the pandemic happens, they'll still get wiseman. With kd back last season, they could've even made it to the finals last year. Then their main rotation this season would be a starting 5 of curry klay kd green looney + a bench of poole, bjelica, porter, gp2, dlee, iggy, jta, and wiseman.
@@3isthenew1 maybe
I know in 2020 Wiseman is the 2nd pick in the draft and Jonathan kunmenga is the 7th last year Not sure we will be getting that high of a pick with KD on board 🤔.
@@jonslife i'm sure we won't be getting Kuminga if KD played last year (that's why I didn't mention him in my first comment), but if we assume that Steph still injures his hand against Phoenix, the Warriors would actually be much worse without DLo and with Curry, KD, and Green recovering from their injuries. Either way they end up as the worst team in the NBA and get the #2 pick in the draft and still draft Wiseman.
finally wiggins is living up to his potential. Those wingspan are a nightmare on the defensive end.
that calm ad was high tier
Good Lord, this team is a Juggernaut. Synchronicity levels on both ends are just insanely high.
Wiggins has been awesome over the past couple weeks on both ends
