@@Gvvenk Game 5 / 6 rockets were blowing defensive assignments all over the place. That, and when they doubled Curry, he mad the correct basketball play and got the roleplayers open shots which they knoccked down.

CP3 was caught sliding his foot underneath Klay and Igoudola.. wonder if that was in the back of Currys mind affecting his shot. Warriors are used to teams being physical (aka holding/grabbing/pushing) treatment after facing the Cavs and others in the past, so it's not as effective as it once was, but it still makes a difference. This almost looked like a pre-season game in terms of intensity.
@Greg Its not a difficult concept man. Best shooter in the world and they are dropping their big on a pick and roll. It's literally just letting Curry shoot practice jumpers.
@Greg Being an NBA coach doesn't mean that you're necessarily even a very good coach at that level, or that you are immune to mistakes. And this was quite a big mistake for Stotts to make.
@Greg first of all chill the F out. Second of all, it is true Terry Stotts had a reason for his defensive strategy, and on hindsight it is easy to criticize so if that is your point, it is well taken (by me at least). However, it still holds true that you want to take away the biggest strengths of a team and make them beat you in a different way. That being said, teams like Cavs and Rockets have had some success denying the perimeter to Curry (obviously not good enough since Warriors always end up winning).
Naw he was testing how good of shooter he is. You know how some people shoot better while contested?(JR) well he wanted to see how he would do wide the hell open. Well, curry was hitting green releases all game lmao
The warriors just have too many good players, Durant easily gives them an edge, that can only be matched by Giannis, Kawhi and Harden, Curry gives then edge that can only be matched by Giannis, Harden and Kawhi and Clay is a great third option better than every other teams 2nd option, Draymond Green is better than a lot of 2nd option players, and then the role players are better than every other role player so their weakness is rebounds but they have Draymond for that so they are way too good to beat.
He has to unfortunately. If he waited only to find out that the rebound went to the other team, he is way too slow to make it back in time to protect the rim. That's just age...no way around it.
Well, as the saying goes: "Good offense wins games, good defense wins championships." Warriors had the edge with great a shooting performance, especially from Curry. It was their defense that secured the win by a comfortable margin.
sure but the shooting from dame and cj wasn’t great , the only reason they were not being blown away since the 3rd was the ft shooting. and like the rockets, you can’t rely on ft shooting.
Warriors might do the give-n-go routine and find those open spaces anyway. Defenders tend to relax when the ones they're guarding pass the ball. Warriors would use that moment to hurriedly find an open space and then attack.
@@stillthinking3740 imo iss really just Magic and Zeke. Noone else had a comparable dominance in the NBA or the success and accolades to compare to these 3.
Hey coach! Amazing video as always. I could hear you shaking your head while I was watching the game live. Gotta say we need that old music back. It’s iconic to bballbreakdown. No ones gonna stop watching but man that music really fit your voice to sell it. Some other videos it made sense to change the music up like “whatever it takes” on the Lebron celtics video from last year. But this one ain’t it. See you next time coach!
@@bballbreakdown coach nick i have to ask, and i apologize if you have answered this before, but did you know that the usual beat you use was also used in the epic rap battles of history episode thor vs zeus?
Although skeptical at first, after the first few minutes the BBallBreakdown fans finally decided to accept the fact that Coach Nick was changing the background song without any prior notice. Deep down they knew that it would be alright, and that since it was a decent jam, Coach would be able to hear them shaking their heads, not out of disapproval , but because they were dancing
I was pleased to hear you feel the same about starting Collins. I wonder if Stotts is thinking the same thing. We need to be able to switch on defense and space the floor on offense.
Just hand the man some fan shoes and basketball to sign while you’re at it Stotts. God damn he had so much room to shoot. That’s crazy I can’t believe I didn’t pay that much attention to something so huge in 2018. It just makes you question how are some people really coaches
I really like the new background music! You should definitely try to use new music every once in a while because listening to the same music every video gets tiring
3:18 "Seemed so worried"??? Err, yeah, they were doubling / hitting Kanter to start. It resulted in some easy assists (who knew -- Kanter can actually play), so they adjusted. Bogut matched up great against him.
Portland's bigs dropped back on literally every screen that Curry/Thompson ran off. They're trying to get swept, lmaoo.
Kevin Surur All I saw was Kanter’s lazy ass doing that tho
Kanter did what the coach told him. They knew they couldn't trap curry or the switch Game 5 and Game 6 proved that.
Gvvnk Lolad so drop the man 13 feet away from the best shooter to the game 🤔 makes sense , a trap isn’t the only defensive play in the book 🤦🏻♂️
@@wilt3051 hes not lazy....thats the system of the coach. if he would do that just because hes lazy he wouldnt see another minute in the playoffs.

This is pretty much the easiest way to lose to the Warriors...
Yep.. Practice curry mode wide open 3s..

Why would he even try this??? Open threes for curry is a good defensive gameplay??
He's still high af after that Denver game.😂
Naw he was testing how good of shooter he is. You know how some people shoot better while contested?(JR) well he wanted to see how he would do wide the hell open. Well, curry was hitting green releases all game lmao
EUPHORIC Le-WiS not sure why you would need to test that lmao
i guess he thought curry was still ice cold in rocket's game lmao

"Strange coaching" 😂😂 let's call this game plan what it really was... foolishness.
I would use : "naive"
Seemed pretty disrespectful tbh. They gave him as much attention from the 3 as they would draymond lol
😂🤣🤣🤣
*Curry drops 32 in a half against great defense* Stotts logic: “let’s just leave him wide open and hope he misses. That’ll work”
Damn sista you look good
when curry shoots from a bogut screen, bogut always runs back before even the ball goes in.
This is why you da GOAT Greg
Not always, when Curry is hot Bogut runs to the other side with his arms up because he knows it'll go in
@@CamNadi did that on purpose so you wouldn't believe it's the real me...:)
Pop, this is more than you ever say to the media! Did you get a bad bottle of pinot grigio?
He has to unfortunately. If he waited only to find out that the rebound went to the other team, he is way too slow to make it back in time to protect the rim. That's just age...no way around it.
Why would you ever let the greatest shooter in the HISTORY of the NBA take un-contested 3's on pick n rolls.
Stotts thought Curry was Westbrook lmao
@@shynessguy you mean westbrick?
I need the old music back
Agreed
Agreed
this is epic too
@@davidpaima2315 same here
We'll get used to this one very soon.
Coach, I know it's one video, but switch back to the old music, I think it's better tbh.
I agree 100
More cowbell
YES, I knew something felt off
And turn down the music please. The analysis is A+ but the music is distracting.
This was not as good music and a little too loud.
Come on Coach, I get it that the flow of the video is more chill, but give our beloved music back. Cheers!
Well, as the saying goes: "Good offense wins games, good defense wins championships."

Low-key miss the old music :\

@@eugeneli2254 that's awesome, definitely love that music better
This new music owns. Stop complaining.
Grahm Thrush how tf am I complaining and also that’s your opinion smh
Vitriol I actually kind of like the new music better but everyone has their own opinion
The coaching single-handedly costed the game for the Blazers
Costed? That's dumb, let the Blazers win a game with different pnr coverage before you come out with the hot takes.
@@mygaffer I'm not saying that they would have won the game, just that they didn't have a chance
@@mygaffer
The Blazers aren't winning a game
sure but the shooting from dame and cj wasn’t great , the only reason they were not being blown away since the 3rd was the ft shooting. and like the rockets, you can’t rely on ft shooting.
Even if they defended well they still would've lost their offense was horrific.
💪 Even KD couldn't beat the Warriors without KD.
He had his chance. And decided to join instead
it's coz the warriors didn't need him to be competitive. KD needs them.
He only played them one time.
@@oakinw8361 7 Time actually.
@@wildreams Playoff SERIES. Before 2016 Dubs never beat Okc.
The “let’s not guard Steph and Klay” gameplan did not work out so well
Terry Stotts is only defensive during interviews
Lmao
This music is alright, but I like the aggressiveness of the normal music
like basketball analysis is that epic? Nope
Warriors might do the give-n-go routine and find those open spaces anyway. Defenders tend to relax when the ones they're guarding pass the ball. Warriors would use that moment to hurriedly find an open space and then attack.
Come on it's the wcf portland ain't gon be forgetting no give n Gos
@@mr.bubbles8351 the main pieces, yes. Guys like Kanter and Hood were from the East. They'll exploit that, which they already did.
Stephen Curry will be the greatest point guard of all time by time he retires.
Top 3 for sure, but he has a alot of ground to cover before he passes Magic
facts
Probably. He's already the greatest scoring pg in history. He just needs to surpass one or two passing pgs, mainly magic Johnson.
@@stillthinking3740 imo iss really just Magic and Zeke. Noone else had a comparable dominance in the NBA or the success and accolades to compare to these 3.
He never will be at magic Johnson level
Loving the music, hope you switch it up between videos from time to time makes it feel fresh every single time 🔥🔥🔥
yeah i actually like this
Hey coach, it's amazing how consistent you've been and how much better your videos have gotten over the years. Keep it up
Love the change of music. It also makes it more easy to focus on your content. Thanks for the great video!
I really liked the new music!!! It's a nice switch up imo. I was vibeing lol while watching your breakdown.
Coach the music in this video got me goooooooing. Your tune selections are impeccable.
Thanks! Problem is, check the comments above 😳😳😳😳
First of all, that beat behind the video is so smooth. Great analysis as always coach

If Klay can lock down both McCollum and Lillard...the series already over
Klay was MVP of this game. McCollum gonna shoot 37% after getting blocked by Klay time and again.
All those hard defense credit to Harden..
It wasn't just klay lol the def scheme was to clog the lane and try to cut off passing lanes forcing a ton of turnovers
@@jebbobo5517 Beautiful team defense as usual for GSW. But CJ comin off a huge game and Klay made him look G-league.
@@sendoh7x fax, CJ and Dame are major downgrades compared to Harden one on one
Appreciate the production! Coach got a new song.
I liked the background music on this video, nice and understated instead of the loud faux dramatic music on most other videos.
At this point curry gets to choose whether he drops a big game or not because either way their still gonna win
Much better music than normally, thanks
This music is strangely mesmerizing
LOVIN' THE NEW MUSIC COACH. KEEP AT IT YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING!!
This video was a banger. Breakdown after breakdown of what’s going on in constant succession.
“You should have gone for the three.”
“I hope they remember you Dame.”
Waited for this all day!! 🙌
Coach you 4got the backround music 😢
Anyway Nice video as always
Diggin' the chill new music.
I like the new music, keep up the good work Coach!
What’s this intro music? 🤦🏾♂️
i found it refreshing. really gives the comical nature of portland having any chance of winning
@@saefali9758 agreed, the reg one (which is a banger) would have been too intense for this type of breakdown!
Awesome... we’ll see if the others above can adjust to it 🎶
It was the "WTH was Portland Thinking??... quizzical Bball Breakdown SMH" music.
@@bballbreakdown coach nick i have to ask, and i apologize if you have answered this before, but did you know that the usual beat you use was also used in the epic rap battles of history episode thor vs zeus?
Don't forget he also had a dislocated finger to deal with most of the rockets series, so thats why his percentage was down too
I do like the new music, but there was just something about the intensity the old one brought that made these videos more enjoyable
Nope
This music got me feeling uneasy lol
Same it makes my stomach feel weird
I kinda love this music. Much more chill vibe
Great analysis !
I love the analysis. The music doesn't fit your vocal range though. Try something with more low end and cut the middle frequencies by about 6db.

Eric Silvestre sometimes
Love the new music!

Lillard is a hell of a player. He needs more pieces around him to go deep in the playoffs.
Portland has reached its preseason targets of wcf . They are just chilling and playing for entertainment. 4-0 sweep just like last yr vs the pelicans
Great music selection!
i love the soundtrack.
Coach Stotts being gangsta ;) 1:39 That's some strategy ;)
I was pleased to hear you feel the same about starting Collins. I wonder if Stotts is thinking the same thing. We need to be able to switch on defense and space the floor on offense.
NOOOO PUT BACK THE OLD MUSIC PLSSSS
New music is so dope
Love the new music ❤
Dope video thanks again coach nick
please change back to the old video music thx
I seen a comment last vid saying never change the music. Then this vid comes out
Bring the old music back
do you see me shaking my head
This music was straight fire
Completely on the point for starting zach, its a great opportunity for him
What's up with all the people commenting already. Like come one, you didn't have enough time to watch the video already
We need the old music please
Great Breakdown as always. You got a real talent with this stuff =)
An interesting new tune for your latest videos
Came here for the bass drop, left here knowing more about basketball
old music > new music

I really like the new background music! You should definitely try to use new music every once in a while because listening to the same music every video gets tiring
For all of you who miss the old music. Last year's conference finals he used a diferent music fitting for the title with every game.
please get the old music back please
Gonna have to watch that twice.
Nice Thanos reference 👌🏾
Where is the old music at?
love this music
What is this wierd mysterious background music the previous one was better
*asks never to change 🔥 background music*

Bring back the other background music
wow what a video thanks coach your great

New music? Whaaaaa??? Finally.
bring back your old signature MUSIC
Coach, as a big fan of this channel, change the music, please. It has always got me hyped up.
The Rockets trapped Curry and lost 4 -2. Zack Collins should start over Kanter. He's quicker and a tougher defender.
this is where the blazers would reeeeeaallyyyy benefit with nurkic LOL
