Hey guys, moving forward I am introducing a new language to the channel. Unless a player is a rookie, I will be adding what year they were in when they played the respective game. This will help us keep organized moving forward. For example Steph is in his 15th year. Therefore. You will see this written as Steph¹⁵. I hope you understand. Thanks. -GOAT.
its obvious you take this serious and are dedicated to making this a very high quality basketball channel. You'll be at Million+ subscribers eventually.
Excellent choice of players, especially when you consider the positions they play. I'm a recent subscriber and have thoroughly enjoyed what I've watched so far. Your videoes are really well done.
Since I didn't play growing up, I haven't been able to really grasp what is going on in the plays. Hockey, football, baseball are all easy for me. This channel breaks it down in a way that makes it much easier to understand. The speed and complexity of the decisionmaking is really hard to see for the untrained eye at full speed.
I started watching analysis videos like this one recently and found myself interested in basketball for the first time in my life. It was the kind of thing I knew was happening but I couldn't follow so it wasn't accessible to me
@@GOATiology tee hee hee... I don't get the trend of everything being so funny? Not to mention, living in Denver and watching 90 + percent of the Nuggets games, this "joke" isn't even accurate, even though it was before last season.
what a joy to watch, the level of passing and rotation in these 2 teams games are so enjoyable to watch. I rarely even watch live because I love replaying the plays 😭
I just gotta say, you’re really good at this. I know it sounds like a basic compliment, but I watch a lot of RUclips and a decent amount of it is basketball-related. You’ve got great commentary and storytelling. Keep up the awesome work!
Hence why I don't watch nba legacy media, such as ESPN. They are focused on views, likes, shares so they make outrageous claims that are meant to provoke audiences to respond, share, argue, etc. A Smyth, Porkins & the gang are well known for this. They are NOT ANALYSTS; they are SHOCK JOCKEYS!
No ones gunna mention the way he specified the year of the player in the title? I’ve never seen that before and I love it. Feels like it would make text-communication way clearer. I hope it catches on.
My man GOAT hopped on the scene out of nowhere, and you've gotten so many ball fans hooked in already, including me! Love your great analyses, keep up the great work! 💜🦁👑🏀🔥
Great show. Awesome reads and analysis of the game. I know this was not the angle you were looking at, but I think more ppl should acknowledge KCP for his overall work on Steph, who went 6-17 and keep an eye out for MPJ leveling up this year now that he’s had an offseason where he can work on improving himself instead of just recovering. He is physically stronger this year and looks like he added 10 pounds of muscle. Denver is 2 games ahead of their pace from last year and a big part is KCP and his shutdown perimeter defense that did a great job of Steph, a great job on SGA, and forced Luka into 8 turnovers despite him having good scoring numbers.
Love this commentary! Wish you would have added the defensive stops by both teams in the clutch to highlight their defensive iq too. Steph intercepting Jokic's pass to the corner, and Jokic stealing the pass to the baseline cutter.
BTW, Steph was 6-17 in this game. That’s good news for the Nuggets, bc they played him as tough as anyone has in this game. And good news for GSW, bc they held their own in Denver.
@@amai-w8f People dont realise basketball is trending bck to a big men game. You got Jokic, Giannis and Embiid, the past 5 MVPs all big men and the next gen is Victor, Chet and Cooper Flagg. Its a big men league.
@@amai-w8f Yeah, kids nowadays watch Steph and learn how to shoot 3s and handle etc. from young. Then some of them turn into big men Centers with all that skills in them. Thats how you get unicorns like Victor, Chet and Cooper Flagg soon. They learn all these skills from young and apply once they turn 7 foot. On the other hand, short point guards also have the skills but they'll never have the height. You can teach skills but you cant teach height. 7 foot Jokic can learn to shoot and dribble, but 6 foot Curry can never be 7 foot. Thats why basketball is a big man game and has been for a long time.
If you were to honestly keep up this level of enthusiasm and professionalism and analyzing skill I pretty sure you will 100% have earned the title GOAT as a channel. Dont be scared to throw in some humor in there!
I absolutely love the way you break down plays, your terminology is on point, and I love the editing style, especially with commentator comments. Definitely dropping a sub, curious if you only do this for basketball, or if you do this for other sports?
That three to bring the game within 2 by curry is fucking crazy… an nba three pointer is already far out, to shoot it while leaning into a guy and not setting your feet… dude isn’t human
not to repeat what so many comments have already said but seriously you have so much potential. the quality of your work is already on par with some much larger channels. so excited to watch you grow!
San Antonio Spurs passed the torch to the Golden State Warriors, now the Warriors are passing it to the Denver Nuggets. These 3 teams have had the most beautiful offenses I've seen.
The San Antonio Spurs set a high standard with their beautiful ball movement, which the Golden State Warriors took to another level with their sharpshooting and pace.
Great video! I did notice at the 5:30 mark of the game you said, “with 5 and a half seconds left..” but you meant 5 and a half minutes. No biggie, but I did notice that!
I used to nod my head when everyone said that Jokic isn't athletic. I have come to realize that he actually is very athletic but he uses it in smart ways. He keeps the game at HIS speed, not other players' speed. He doesn't jump high but he is a) limiting his risk of injury and b) doesn't have to jump because he boxes off and positions himself so well.
Absolutely, your observation about Jokic's athleticism is spot on. Jokic may not fit the traditional mold of an athletic NBA player known for explosive dunks or high-flying plays, but his basketball IQ and strategic use of his athleticism are exceptional.
This was super helpful! Can you do a video on pick and rolls? Im new to watching basketball and hear the term all the time but would like to know how defenses respond and what everyone's "job" on the play is
Jimmyhighroller and you are amazing. I would suggest making your openings more provacative and some better background music. Maybe a clip foreshadowing the result of thr game or a highlight with a iconic track like jimmys trap sax. That would complete your already phenomenal episodes
I still believe that these two will meet in the west finals. I know people are doubting the warriors now because they have never been good really since after this game against the nuggets. Something happened to them. But i still believe its gonna come down to these two in the end
Very nice, thanks. This is the peak of basketball now. The outdated one is played by the Lakers. Clay should somehow get back into rhythm and enjoy the game again - after all, he has nothing to lose, might as well.. Of course this is easy to say.
Theyd be the most unstoppable duo together. The greatest offball threat and the best post playmaker. Draymond is a great playmaker and we've seen how successful they've been together, but he's not on the level of Jokic as a passer. Definitely not on the same stratosphere as a scorer
This game would’ve been better had Murray/Draymond/GPII played and if the two teams haven’t been screwed by the scheduling so far. Imo warriors and nuggets should be the WCF match up this year
Probably because we are in early season, but the joker was really tired in the late game, not sharp as usual, it's strange that a 50% game for him is a bad game
Everyone walks in the NBA. Jokic does too, but very rarely. He mainly does it when he is standing still at top of the key, facing the defender, when his left leg is the pivot, but he ends up pushing off the right leg. Then again, this is easily the most common travelling infraction in NBA that is never called. Jokic has exceptional footwork, balance & speed. Many times I caught myself thinking "he travelled", but when I review it & watch it over & over again, I realize asthat he didn't travel. Please post the time where you think he travelled.
The nuggets starters were postive and their bench was negative and the total opposite for the warriors kind of interesting i think murray makes the nuggets bench better though instead of starting a bench player reggie off the bench is way better

really cool and fresh content - dont get caught up in the youtube algorithm just keep being you
Nice an analytical. You just showed up in my feed for the first time. Instant sub!
Love that even though I have practically no understanding of basketball this video is extremely easy to understand and engage with
Wow, Alex! That means a lot. Thanks 🙏
Its a great analysis video and breakdown, even for us old basketball enthusiasts.

So what they do is dribble a ball and throw it in a hoop and whoever has more points at the end wins
Whats even more insane than this is seeing MPJ pass the ball
Lmao. Bro. This comment made me laugh out loud 😂. Thanks. I needed that 🤣
Lol. I feel like OG Anunoby would fit in better on this roster.
He's been passing the ball the past season and a half.
@@GOATiology tee hee hee... I don't get the trend of everything being so funny? Not to mention, living in Denver and watching 90 + percent of the Nuggets games, this "joke" isn't even accurate, even though it was before last season.
They should nab him from the Raptors.@@jimmywalker8354
That was finals worthy game. What a treat for a regular season.
I'm sure there's more. 🔥

This is some high quality analysis you will NEVER see on a mainstream show.

It was a lot of nonsense making basic basketball sounds super complicated.
Yay! Thanks for watching!

it really puts it into perspective and I also enjoy it a lot
Wow! Thank you so much man!
Love that the channel is branching out to other players. Keep up the good work!
Will do, thanks!
duuuude this is so cool fr, never realised the game was so deep, amazing really, hope to see you grow
Thank you so much! 😊
Good idea. I appreciate thoughtful organization. Also, love the video as always.
Thanks Daryl!
You can see the effort being put into these videos, keep it up!
Thanks Sebastian. It takes a lot of work. Glad you appreciate the effort.
I'm so happy to see you succeeding bro I remember when you were at 600 subs and now you're at 16.1K! Congratulations

Steph was doubled pretty much the whole game. It was kinda like a box-and-1 defense.

It's like he's operating on another level.
When i saw this game coming up i was so looking forward to it because of the great plays that would be delivered by both teams. Nice video.
I agree. Thanks!
Couldn't agree more. Thanks!
quality vid, exceptional breakdown
Thank you!
this channel is severely underrated

More to come!
damn an actual analysis video. nice work dude gonna sub
Thanks!
Thanks for the Masterful presentation. This is why I love Basketball played by such high IQ players.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I want to see these 2 for the western conference finals!
Let's hope!
very insightful commentary. Loved it. Keep the content coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video! I did notice at the 5:30 mark of the game you said, “with 5 and a half seconds left..” but you meant 5 and a half minutes. No biggie, but I did notice that!
Lol. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are a nice way of understanding the high level of the game this players used to practice but the high speed embarrass.
It means a lot to know that my videos help you grasp the high level of gameplay, even if the speed can be overwhelming. Thanks for watching. :)
@@GOATiology Sorry, english os not my native language I meant the slowmotion you use helps to undestand the game better than the live action.
Alright, you got a subscriber. Keep the content coming!

I used to nod my head when everyone said that Jokic isn't athletic. I have come to realize that he actually is very athletic but he uses it in smart ways.

1:00 this was a perfect opportunity to say, "Jokic says, 'Hold my horses.'"
Damnit! I missed that.
You got me on that one Caleb!
This was super helpful! Can you do a video on pick and rolls? Im new to watching basketball and hear the term all the time but would like to know how defenses respond and what everyone's "job" on the play is

Amazing work on this vids man. props
Glad you enjoyed it!
new subs here, this is great! I have found this channel.
Welcome aboard!
LOVED THE BEAKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Jokic just went mode same the one Mikal Bridges was talking about, ok no passing i'm gonna feed myself alone.
Its a pick a poison.
His ability to score and create opportunities for himself is unmatched.
good vid, but please stop the slow motion once the shot is up, would make it way smoother
Lol. Thanks!
Good breakdown
Thanks for watching!
Love your analysis
Thanks! 😊
love the chess analogy, especially since Jokic is an absolute scholar on the game 🇷🇸
Jokic's understanding of the game is like a master chess player making strategic moves on the basketball court.
I still believe that these two will meet in the west finals. I know people are doubting the warriors now because they have never been good really since after this game against the nuggets. Something happened to them. But i still believe its gonna come down to these two in the end
Let's see. 🧐
GOAT is becoming my favorite bball channel
Wow, thank you! Appreciated. 🤝
great vid!
Thanks!
Another GOAT video 👌
Appreciate it.
Best NBA channel
Wow. Thanks man! Means a lot to me.
Great Vid mate keep it up
Will do. Thanks!
I dont see how this was unprecedented unimaginable chess match but still enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed.
Very nice, thanks. This is the peak of basketball now. The outdated one is played by the Lakers. Clay should somehow get back into rhythm and enjoy the game again - after all, he has nothing to lose, might as well.. Of course this is easy to say.
You bet.
very nice video, enjoyed it all!
Thank you very much!
Great Editing!
Thank you!
Really worked for it. Thanks!
Nice match. Nerves got into curry at the end.
So close!
@GOATiology how many bball games do you watch per season to be these insightful and knowledgeable?!
I watch a lot of basketball. But watching isn't enough. You need to study the game. Thanks for watching. And sorry for the late reply.
Theyd be the most unstoppable duo together. The greatest offball threat and the best post playmaker.
Draymond is a great playmaker and we've seen how successful they've been together, but he's not on the level of Jokic as a passer. Definitely not on the same stratosphere as a scorer

Channel fire bro
Wow!
this game was a masterpiece
💯
another amazing video
Thanks again!
This game would’ve been better had Murray/Draymond/GPII played and if the two teams haven’t been screwed by the scheduling so far. Imo warriors and nuggets should be the WCF match up this year
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Beautiful basketball when they drive & find the unguarded man
Truth.
Need these two teams fully healthy in the WCF for all the chips on the table
The prospect of having both teams fully healthy in the Western Conference Finals is incredibly exciting.
Next level, hoping to see Lebron cooked by joker
We'll see. 🤔
this is gona be a good christmas day game
I feel it too!
Those two teams play most beautifull basketball in the nba
Hmmm?
Wow very great and informative video
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks man! Appreciate you!
finally a video that isn't about wemby
Lol. More to come!
loved the analysis and enjoyed the vid a lot, just watching the game does not give you this indepth insight
Thanks Alfredo. Happy you enjoyed watching.
Nah, it wasn't a loose ball. He tipped it to himself, making sure Steff couldn't grab it. Maybe the best play of the gamе.
Thanks for the info.
2:45 three step walk on the baby face
Probably because we are in early season, but the joker was really tired in the late game, not sharp as usual, it's strange that a 50% game for him is a bad game
Every player has their moments.
jokic walks all the time and it doesn’t get called
Everyone walks in the NBA. Jokic does too, but very rarely.
He mainly does it when he is standing still at top of the key, facing the defender, when his left leg is the pivot, but he ends up pushing off the right leg. Then again, this is easily the most common travelling infraction in NBA that is never called.
Jokic has exceptional footwork, balance & speed. Many times I caught myself thinking "he travelled", but when I review it & watch it over & over again, I realize asthat he didn't travel.
Please post the time where you think he travelled.
🤔
That was a knife edge game
Agree.
1:01 I hate that people say that. It’s one maybe the most affective move in the NBA, or it at least was😢
The evolution of moves in the NBA can be bittersweet, especially when a highly effective move like that seems to lose its prominence.
If I need to hear another word example that I've never heard: I'll start watching baseball. ⚾️
Lmao.
Well made video.
Thank you!
Without Jokic there wouldn’t have been a Magic or a Bird.
Lol.
Which exercise in futility are we talking about V or VI? :)
Battle of the Greatest!
Truth.
7:30
I am sure that will not be Curry's choice if he is a bit taller.
I absolutely love these 2 players play styles jokic is too good how did he get 2nd round drafted. lol
I guess sometimes the best talents are discovered in unexpected places.
@@GOATiology Craig porter jr the same way
Looney is a a Top Tier veteran role-player💯
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Eric!
Really good video but this was definitely not the first time they played each other…
Thank you!
Can't believe Curry smoked that layup
🤭
2 of the highest basketball IQs in the league
I agree.
Curry should have attempted a 3 instead of a floating layup
Thanks for your opinion, Aeron.
ART ! !
Thanks!
Hey yoke, wanna play: paper, scissors, rock?
Joker pulls our a hammer and a meat cleaver.
Lmao. 😂
These two on the same team would be op
Facts.
Imagine both of them on the same team 😯
Dangerous FR.
The nuggets starters were postive and their bench was negative and the total opposite for the warriors kind of interesting i think murray makes the nuggets bench better though instead of starting a bench player reggie off the bench is way better
The Nuggets' lineup strategy, with Murray enhancing the bench, indeed makes for an interesting and effective approach.
Amazing game.
Indeed.
The Nuggets starters actually handled GSW pretty well, but their bench got put into a blender.
Haha! Lol.
