With THIS Lineup, The Warriors CAN'T LOSE

When the Warriors signed Kevin Durant, they upgraded their death lineup and renamed it the Hampton 5. Find out why it's been so lethal for 2 years and remains the biggest obstacle to the Houston Rockets.

[@aleksandarjovanovic2238]

Hats off to steve kerr for handling a team with 4 superstars and getting them to play as a team. They all play as a team trying to get a better shot for the other teammates. He deserves more credit as we see how often too many superstars can ruin teams, particularly the thunder this year, and karl malone lakers years. Sort of reminiscent of the 80s celtics and lakers and 90s bulls. Kerr will go down as a HOF coach.

[@kasimk4]

Aleksandar Jovanovic you do realise he made two of those all stars?

[@user-wh6fw2id9n]

Three actually @kasimk4

[@TheCartman283]

How does he deserve more credit?He is already considered one of the best coaches rn, you can't go higher than that

[@tohnic441]

Karl Malone was the true leader of the Lakers. Without him the Lakers' performance declined

[@kasimk4]

Ath Leb curry was already an all star.

[@bobbymira8234]

Kevin Durant probably had multiple reasons for leaving OKC. But I'm pretty sure he had only ONE reason to come over to GS. And that is to play beautiful basketball. You can say what you want about KD, but he made the right choice. It's not just about getting rings, but its about maximizing your efficiency and playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. Boston or San Antonio might have been the only other 2 places where he would have been happy playing but he probably liked the idea of playing along side Steph, who is the ultimate superstar: unselfish, humble, team-player, game-changer, and the best shooter of all time...

[@rjreyes956]

Bobby Mira very well said.

[@josephmegrino5149]

Yeah, he's pissed off with Russel, as if he owns the team. MIRISI.

[@josephmegrino5149]

@Jayden Mac No Lebron thinks he is the only player in the team, that is why someone transferred to Boston. He is the biggest ballhog in the entire NBA. Too bad for the Cavs they will never get anothef ring again.

[@ultimateunioncreation9306]

Tropic Mix, Hey Bro, I did watch the whole Game 2. I personally think the Rockets played great basketball. The Warriors were just off except KD. But I still believe the Warriors in 6. Remember the Pelicans beat the Warriors in Game 3, I think? What happened to them next?

idc what anybody says this warriors team is the best team of all time . the amount of talent they have is actually ridiculous . they have 2 mvps in their prime , the 2 best shooters of all time , a defensive player of the year , a former 1st team all nba defender and finals mvp , and an amazing system . i dont understand how people seem to overlook this , i watched every single minute of that pelicans series and its absolutely ridiculous how good they are . if they stay injury free i honestly wouldnt be surprised if they win 4 or 5 straight , their team is just perfect . i feel so bad for lebron because everybody expects his to beat the warriors every year which might be impossible considering his roster and coaching staff around him . i get that hes supposed to be the best and all but god damn his legacy is going to be tarnished because of this team . the first mega team in nba history

[@gators9570]

One of lebrons biggest issues is how he’s never really been patient and let a team come naturally. Like the big 3 were the most natural with him, wade and bosh and battier and allen came along. But he’s always been about retooling and using vets. Kyrie was a great piece in Cleveland but was love really the best idea? No it was a quick solution to try to build a team quick. The reason the warriors work so well is because none of the players have made it all about themselves. The same could be said for what the spurs had with Parker, Duncan, ginobili and even kawhi.

[@nikosvault]

Lebron is the reason Durant was able to join. He has a major part in this arms race.

[@katokthefirst]

This is the Rockets year! They're the top offensive team this season and they are number 6 in defense this year. The duo of Chris Paul and the MVP Harden cannot be stop and led their team to the best record in the NBA with 65 wins. Along with the best 3-point shooting in the NBA with an amazing bench.

[@RellW96]

WILLIAM KATS b u bringing up one series we talking about overall I’m not KD doesn’t still get his but kawhi makes him work n makes it harder n u bringing up Tony Allen don’t get me wrong he does a great job on him but I wouldn’t say better than kawhi

[@jeromes456]

Ibnu Faishal ok. They gonna kill houston

[@ecarrecarr7852]

Game 1 and game 3 of the regular season there was no Iguadala. Game 2 no harden but also no KD I think the warriors will destroy the rockets. Also in game 3 warriors played poor defense which draymond got on their case for it and lost a closed game.

[@Code0866]

[@beastmode218]

How TF did Kyrie score on these guys man??!!? Like no joke dropped 36 on them and the Celtics almost won with no Smart

[@legend1092]

+BeastMode 21 The Hamptons 5 lineup never started together until a week ago. They've only played together in bunches here and there, hence, why Kyrie scored on them, Celtics almost won, and the Warriors failed to win even 60-games. But Kerr employing this lineup over long stretches means shits getting real

[@beastmode218]

Legend no I watch that game and Iggy definitely was in the game for the final quarter stretch. Kyrie scored on Steph, Iggy, KD, Draymond, and Klay. That shit is insane and Curry fans want to say Curry won that matchup.... please

[@supermoneymagnet1]

BeastMode 21 Its 1 game it really doesn’t matter. Plus Kyrie is a street baller he can score on anyone, how are you so surprised.....

[@ADifferentVibe]

True. I don't think the defense is meant to stop elite players like LeBron and Kyrie. It's meant more to shut down everyone else. It will limit Kyrie to like 20 ppg, which is still damn good for him.

[@roadsector9527]

How can you beat this line up, when kd can make 2,3,4 and 5 position while green can fit to 3,4 and 5 iguodala 1,2 and 3.. Now tell me?

The ring last year of gsw is not somewhat legit after the zaza/kawhi thing, let them prove now against the rejuvenated Cavs, let's see. I also suggest that larry drew must take charge of coaching for cavs on ecf and finals. that, the cavs are on the rampage.

[@MD-cy8uj]

The problem with the Rockets and the reason I don’t want to watch this series is the fouls. Harden and CP3 are floppers and complainers who don’t try to make their shots, their goal is to get fouled. Harden is the reason the nba is soft. He wouldn’t have a chance of surviving the 90’s. Geez. It’s bad.

[@classyassmothafucka8890]

The Rockets can't beat the Warriors. The matchups in the starting 5 will be Curry- Paul We all know from highlights that Curry makes a habit of embarrassing Chris Paul... however... I will be generous to Chris Paul and say he's a pretty good defender for Curry. He's not as long as you'd prefer, but you gotta have Paul somewhere, and anywhere else, it's an automatic mismatch. But like I said... I'll be generous and write this matchup off (even though Curry is vastly superior on the offensive end. IF Paul can finally lock down Curry... they can cancel eachother out... but frankly, GS doesn't need this matchup. Thompson- Harden** Thompson gets all the hard defensive matchups for a reason. He's long, tenacious, and he plays the defensive scheme right. When Thompson gets beat (which isn't that uncommon actually) they always have Green for the help, and Thompson is one of the best at knowing when he's beat and making the switch (onto capella... who isn't a very skilled offensive player. If Capella doesn't have an open dunk, even Klay can deal some justice in the post. All Klay has to do is not foul too much, not give Capella too many open dunks. For this reason, I give the Rockets a game. There will be a game when Thompson gets burned one too many times by Harden or Capella is actually making quality buckets. On the whole... Klay has the hardest job. Advantage Harden... but Klay is no slouch on offense either. He's the perfect screener since he can make anyone pay for leaving him, but he also has 2 players that you REALLY don't want to have the ball. Of the 3, Thompson should get the most wide open looks, and he's proven time and time again just how dangerous he can become when he goes off. Overall... I'll be generous to the rockets and call this matchup a slight advantage for the rockets. **Durant- Ariza I don't feel like detail is needed on this one. Durant's great defense is only overshadowed by his INCREDIBLE offense. Ariza is completely outclassed in this matchup, and there's nobody to really relieve him except for help defense. Stopping Durant will be next to impossible for the Rockets... especialy considering how full-handed the rest of the defense is. Iggy- Anderson Basically the same player, but Iggy has a more diminished role, and a better facilitating offense behind him. Iggy has a history of coming up big in the playoffs, so I think it should be considered generous to write this matchup off. If I were to take playoff history into account, I'd definitely have to side with Iggy... but I won't. Calling it a draw. **Green-Capella Capella isn't a terribly skilled player. He's offensively limited to shots when he can touch the rim. Green has a pretty easy PRIMARY defensive assignment... but... he's going to double as help D for mostly Thompson. For any other two players, this would be a problem, but Capella is particularly inept. Green can basically hover-guard Capella until he gets the ball (because he got no post moves and he's not a very good passer or ball handler either). Draymond's troubles will be that he's got to hold down Capella and Harden without fouling out. I'll give the rockets another game for putting Draymond in foul trouble early (or perhaps fouling out). On offense though, Green will have to take more 3s than usual to keep the defense honest. It's up to Green to pull Capella out of the paint. At this very moment, Green should be practicing 3s and NOTHING ELSE. Green's ability to knock down wide open 3 pointers will be the single biggest threat to the Rocket's entire defensive scheme. If Green doesn't make them pay, Capella will sag and make life hard for Durant... which will make the spacing bad for Curry and Thompson. Having said that, this isn't Green's first rodeo. He'll probably do fine, and he'll probably be the biggest unappreciated piece in the series. With the right ball movement, Durant, Thompson, and Iggy should have some clean dunks in the paint if Draymond is able to pull Capella out of the paint. Could potentially be a pretty even series for Green and Capella... but Green has much more upside. If Green can keep Capella honest, this series is OVER AND A HALF

[@davidwilliams316]

Capella can post up and pass. Iggy would defend harden. Ryan Anderson would defend Klay. Ya. What about there bench? Dwest on Nene? Last year in the finals Dwest got in foul trouble. And Gerald green vs Quinn? Gerald would win that matchup. Then there javale McGee vs PJ Tucker. Pj had showed once again he can defend big guys.

[@leftbenchplayaa]

Hoobastank Diaz green was able to guard Anthony Davis very efficiently too. Keep that in mind

[@brianabalos4878]

[@JasperAKwayu]

You should do a video on the current Death line up the warriors have

[@mcalsooner91]

One reason the Warriors looked so dominate against NO was because it was a great match up for them. NO runs the exact same offense as GS with less talented players and scorers since Cousins got hurt half way in the season. They went small with Moore starting at small forward. A 6'4 back up point guard was their small forward and a 6'6 shooting guard was tasked to guard KD. It was a match up nightmare for NO. It will not be for Houston. Houston has been playing their own counter to the GS small ball death squad and has the wing defenders to throw at KD with Ariza, Mbah a Moute, Tucker, and even Gerald Green is athletic enough to not be a cake walk. I'm not predicting KD will not score because he's too great not to get his, but he will work much harder to score. Iggy and Klay will have a much harder assignment guarding Harden and in the past they were successful. This regular season, not so much. Like with KD, Harden will score and get his but can he be efficient is the issue. Curry vs Paul. Curry has tormented Paul when he was in LA. Paul remembers that. This will be the key. Can Chris Paul limit Curry enough and also can Curry stay in front of Paul and stop him from collapsing the defense to find an open 3. Draymond vs Clint is going to be a dog fight. Clint showed up big time in the playoffs going against 2 top bigs in the West with Towns and Gobert. He's the anchor and if makes the same impact on Green then Green will be exposed. Draymond is NOT a low post scorer. He is a mid post driver. Clint can easily reach up and block his shot at will. If GS is forced to put in Zaza or McGee or West to play Clint, then their defense is going to take a hit because the rockets will high pick and roll any of the other big men on Paul or Harden all day long. If Draymond goes off repeatedly in the series, Houston is done. But I would much rather lose watching Draymond Green having 25 than seeing Curry and KD average 60 points together.

GS is the greatest team of all time 2015- Beat an injured cavs team 2016- Blew a 3-1 lead 2017- KD join them 2018-???

[@kirphioc9904]

Hampton 5.

[@ericmata3728]

Youre the man, coach

[@Carlitostaki]

Coach you really need to do something with your microphone input. It comes out high trebled and becomes annoying really quick.. Other than that, keep up the good work and the great content. Cheers.

[@andreialexandruparfeni7129]

Remember Games 3 and 4 vs OKC in 2016 (about the Death Lineup). Every lineup has its flaws.

[@jimjam4823]

tteverywhere 97 too bad 2017-18 lineup has KD now

[@kasimk4]

JimJam how is it too bad? Y'all act like curry doesn't exist

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

tteverywhere 97 that lineup has Harrison Barnes. not saying he's terrible but when a team upgrades to Kevin Durant on an already almost unstoppable lineup, it just made everything better for the Dubs

Didn't have kd changed the game

[@kasimk4]

Joshua Martinez wrong. It didn't change anything. It Stayed the same.

[@FirstPlace97]

Greatest starting 5 ever in basketball

[@spidah8785]

okc had the best chance with roberson healthy. theyre just as, if not more athletic-which is the key to defending the warriors

[@markysng]

Spidah8 They had the potential. but sadly melo hasn’t showed up much this season and PG has been inconsistent. I doubt okc can handle a playoffs GSW

[@nerd6197]

I agree that okc has the best chance

[@spidah8785]

Markyyy Sng yea but i was just saying that because the wheels fell off the bus for okc after they lost their best defender in the reg season

[@nicknamev9760]

Agreed, next to Kawhi; PG defends durant better than anyone else in the league and the fact that PG is not their best defensive (dre) or offensive (wildcard westbrook) weapon okc definitely had the best chance.

[@b.myleek3130]

NickName V Um...what? PG does not defend KD well. He never has. What are you going off this season roflmao? Even then he wasn't guarding him well. KD got to his spots. He just missed. The only player that was playing who could truly frustrate KD was Tony Allen.

[@johnchang8169]

1:30 “contest a short miss into a shot” 😆

[@yourwifewasinmedms5137]

They way golden state moves is mesmerizing

[@Posteriusz]

With any lineup Warriors cant lose xD

[@eugene5656]

Posteriusz no. Zaza will be suspended if he plays again

[@dolpoobniala8765]

yeah, just start Zaza at point and it won't matter

[@MCFoultier]

Curry is such an underrated athlete. It pains me to say since I don't like them, but the warriors look unbeatable this season and for years to come (unless Bron joins the Rockets)

[@25-8]

MCFoultier they need lebron and kawhi still this is 4 vs 3 lebron is aging, if it was Miami lebron that would be enough since he was at his peak as a defender there to slow down Kd, he can’t slow him down now

[@macmillerfan]

Audiofilio lebron is aging, but it doesnt seem like it. he’s basically at his peak rn, and actually might improve for the next few years

[@MCFoultier]

Audiofilio might even agree with that. Probably the only place where he could go and be even a favourite over golden state would be Boston as dumb as that sounds...

[@25-8]

Max Kellerman that is bogus, he can not defend at a high level anymore and what KD did was smart. He’s just taunting his legacy more knowing now he can’t even slow him down. I’m a big lebron fan and the only way you can stop the warriors is that, if both lebron and kawhi go go Houston where lebron can not worry about the team blowing leads when he sits and having someone else who he trusts, (Chris Paul) handle the ball. The only thing that would need to be figured out is if Harden would be ok with it..

[@macmillerfan]

I mean, he's doing what he did when he dragged Cleveland to the finals before he left for the Heat. He's most likely on the road to a 9th finals appearance. Just my two cents though; you're entitled to your own opinion, and I respect that.

[@stubborndreams]

You should do one on the dirty South 5 pj harden green capela paul

[@sebastiangoss7919]

All I want is Rockets vs Celtics, and I can finally be happy that we have a different Finals matchup

[@TheCartman283]

Rockets' opponents score the least points of fast breaks in 2018 playoffs,also they're the 2nd best defensive team, right after the warriors, I'm not saying that they'll beat the warriors but there will definitely be 7 games

[@b.myleek3130]

jonah hill its going 6 at the most.

[@DesignzRUs]

Who the wolves and utah? Warriors move off ball so that defense will be put to the test for the first time so we will see

[@roxfan28]

Utah had the number defense all season long, and yes, over the warriors...

[@moyarose6145]

Gerald Green Utah could never defend the rockets because their defense is predicated on Rudy Gobert. Who can defend the 3 point line well so they were always going to be a none-factor.

[@RoseCurry5]

Gerald Green That's all fine and good but numbers in the regular season do not impress me anymore. The Warriors hardly played defense all year. Shit was hard to watch sometimes. But in the playoffs when it mattered, it was the Warriors who had the number one defense and still does. And yes, over the Jazz.

[@charleswoodsongoat1258]

Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that Draymond was on the phone crying and begging for KD to join after the warriors lost game 7.

[@donaldcampbell9483]

[@nolandolar]

nbafan1984 not in game 2 tho

[@nbafan-ul6cq]

Jerome Dollar Houston just made this series interesting. I really liked Houston's adjustments. Even though they are an isolation team, they were able to generate a lot of on-ball and off-ball movement. Sunday can't come soon enough.

[@justinebautista1383]

[@mieljancentamion9882]

the best starting 5 of all time!! PG-Steph Curry SG-Klay thompson SF-Kevin Durant PF-Draymond Green C-Demarcus Cousins

[@jeffreywen8901]

@BBallBreakdowns I love your stuff but anyways what is the background song?

[@thinkpiece4334]

The help defense makes me feelsgoodman.

[@bm9tube]

Wake me up when the Warriors stop crushing everyone on their way to a sure championship. I have been following the NBA for 28 years and I’ve never been more bored. The only thing interesting is whether LBJ can make it to the Finals again, with yet another lineup, and cement his legacy.

[@andrewseo5995]

bm9tube be warriors fan😂

[@ericmartinperez7099]

Cement his legacy as the greatest loser of all time? Yes. 5 finals losses and counting.

[@bm9tube]

Loveya Sia that’s the thing they will win every year now.... if you’re fan you want the excruciating losses as well as the lopsided wins. I would even be bored as Warriors fan!

[@bm9tube]

Eric Perez go tell Jerry West... 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@brylesteraguado611]

Eric Perez this is more painful. 2016. 73 9 without the ring became a legend in nba. First team to blow out a finals 3 1 lead. Strongest team to be beaten by underdog. Unanimous mvpwho got abused in offense. First team to allow one man from the enemy to lead all statsfor the whole series. Gsw might have been proud until now
