    All 5 of them are in synergy despite playing so few minutes together. They are great at using each other’s gravity to get easy cuts and open threes. The hectic pace on both offence and defense is fantastic. It throws off the opposing team. Kerr doesn’t get enough credit for how his motion offence is deadly with the right players. Not to mention the small ball switching on defense which has them ranked top 5 defensively consistently.

      the og 3 will obviously be in sync but it’s been steph-draymond-jordan all last year which has created their chemistry. you’d think klay and jordan would then be the weak link but while steph was out it was them keeping the warriors afloat for the whole of march. that’s why the last stretch of the regular season was so critical and such a turning point for the team because not only has klay played his best since 2019, jordan also had his 20+ streak. and to top it off, the chemistry that these two built in that stretch solidified their synergy and that’s why, despite only playing an incredibly limited time on the floor altogether, this death line-up plays so damn well. thinking about what had happened all throughout the warriors’ regular season and how all the pieces are now coming together is just absolutely crazy. it’s literal destiny. they gotta win this chip.

However all coaches have some flaws and despite that he is a top 5 coach in this league with a system that ensures every one is involved.

    Otto porter has also been absoutely incredible for the warriors. Sure, he's hit some threes and even come in clutch to win a few games. But watch that man set screens off-ball and anchor the wing defense alongside draymond. Relating to the "death lineup" part, porter can simply switch for any one of the four wings/gaurds to provide valuable rest while maintaining the offensive flow and defensive pressure. Very little changes about that lineup with him in the game, which means the warriors can basically have a continuous onslaught of extremely high offesnive/defense pace while also resting their own key players.

    Great vid. It's pretty sick to see the expectations around players change due to the playoffs. Before his playoff debut, most people looked at Poole and saw a solid up and coming player. Now, he's getting the respect of an up and coming star / 20ppg consistently kind of guy. Crazy how he wasn't in the top 3 MIP

    I hope we use that death lineup 3.0 sparingly. Of course I’d love for us to continue to exploit teams with it, but it lacks size even with Draymond playing above his height. We should probably start and finish games with this lineup, but rotate certain starters staggered as Steph heals.

      Luckily that’s how Steve Kerr used his death lineups in the past, and how he has used them so far this year. They’ve only played 11 minutes together after all. Kerr likes to start looney, but in end of quarter situations and clutch time, he will pull out this lineup

    Duncan Robinson comes in and scored 8 3-pointers out of 9 tries. Jordan Poole lookin like a legit star out there. Kyrie Irving goes to his highest level and is somehow still not enough. New Orleans,a team that wouldn't even be a playoff team in the pre-play in tournament era has a legit star in Brandon Ingram who can go 1 on 1 with the best of them when he's feeling it. Memphis has Morant and roster full of guys who can do stuff. Minesotta has Towns and Edwards. Jalen Brunson scoring 40+ points on crazy efficency. Mitchell scored 30 points in a half. Bogdan Bogdanović almost saved the Hawks in game 2 vs the Heat when he scored like 20 points in the 4th. Tyrese Maxey lookin like a future all-star for Philadelphia. Even though lots of great players are missing from the playoffs like LeBron,AD,Zion,Murray,Kawhi,PG13,Luka,Lillard etc. There is still a great product out there...

The "Experts" on tv really don't really talk about this - they're too busy "Debating" BS topics. Also, fyi, this Elite Skillset all started with Steph/Klay back in 13-14 tho (specifically Wardell), as they took shooing to another lever, and over the years, the rest of the league has Caught up to them. And it's not just the Star players who are skilled, it's the ROLE Players Too, like Duncan Robinson making 8/9 3's in a game, Troy Murphy making 3/5, Jaren Jackson making 4/7. For a while, your name had to be Steph/Klay/Harden to make 3/4 or more 3's in a game. Also, the TRAINING for these players and younger HS/College plays have gotten so Much BETTER too, that's why you have Young guys like Jordan, Anthony Edwards, Ja all developing so FAST.

    This team is a synergy of great management, amazing coaching, and acquiring talent that has a shared chemistry that places team ahead of individual stats. What was noteworthy this year was the continued concentration of developing younger talent instead of getting quick wins and running up wins like Phoenix. This development paid huge dividends in the playoffs as the coaches could rotate out a huge array of player combinations to answer whatever was thrown at them; and this depth also helped to cover for some injuries and also bolstered the confidence of the entire team that everyone can contribute and whomever has the hot hand in the actual game gets more looks and involvement. This is the perfect example of building actual bench strength.

    the new PTSD lineup is insane. So fun to watch. (Poole, Thompson, Steph, Dray)

    "Splash Brothers" is still perfect. The trio.

    Great breakdown! You really highlighted the difficulties of guarding the Steph & Draymond high pick & roll with the shooters that they have on the court. Great job of emphasizing the importance of turning defense into offense as well.
