The Unthinkable Strategy That Can Slow Down The Warriors

Besides the Raptors, teams have been very hesitant to play any sort of zone defense against the Warriors because of their shooting. Well the Kings were able to find some success throwing the Warriors offensive rhythm by playing a box and one defense in their third regular season matchup. It certainly can only be used in spurts, but the postseason is about stealing as many possessions as possible which can be done right if you use the box and one on a timely basis. This may be a preview of what is to come for this series.

Boston also tried this in game 5.

[@pratyushsharma1178]

Box and one fails if Warriors play Poole instead of Klay. Now Poole knows whole defense is focussed on Steph and he can puncture through the zone. But it needs Kerr to be less stubborn and more adaptive.

Damnit, kings hc taking intense notes on this vid

[@sleepyheadz]

The sample size is small, and the missed shots were mostly wide open shots that when averaged out, would fall more often than they miss. Granted the playoff is more intense but box-and-1 against Steph takes out your perimeter defenders, and Looney would only need to play hockey passes to find an open 3. Steph would play more decoy than actual scoring, and he is not one who would complain as long as the team wins.

Awesome video! I can’t wait to see your breakdowns of the fantastic playoff basketball we’ve been treated to

[@mysportisyourpunishment73188]

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! BOX & 1 did it for us KINGS in game 1!!! Amazing breakdown my man!! 🟣🔦

[@AtlanticCanadianAstronomy]

Never understood why they call it a stop if the player misses a wide open shot

[@sabahbubbler]

And Mike Brown was an assistant coach to Warriors, so he knows Warriors tendencies in and out especially defensively

[@ssbbc2561]

Great analysis dude!

[@SONA7DO]

Please do more of these with other great matchups in the playoffs, really interesting to see how teams will adjust and have their off,deff schemes.

[@jordanclark8437]

First video of yours I’ve seen. Good stuff.

[@blakeneal6400]

great video man i look forward to seeing these defensive schemes in the playoffs!

[@dimelo58]

Loved the video thank you

[@willr1080]

Great video. The Kings had success with zones and went away from them to probably keep them off scouting film and save them for the playoffs.

[@Cobusftwmahoniez]

Missed the vids Daniel !

[@AB-sw4kb]

What have you seen from Quin Snyder's impact in Atlanta?

[@somersetbassett4580]

Mostly solid analysis 👍

[@nekagodzboi]

This would be an interesting series

[@shawn9210]

Nailed the prediction! The Box & 1 was a crucial defense that the Kings deployed more in Game 1

[@willhooke]

Raptors ran Box + 1 against the Warriors with some success
