Explain: Chris Paul mic'd up teaching Klay, Wiggins and Trayce; and Kuminga posts up LeBron James
by @EricApricot
Video analysis of plays from the 2024-03-16-LAL game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. This video unpacks some more mysterious mic’d up moments with Chris Paul teaching Andrew Wiggins “pitch or keep”, teaching Trayce Jackson-Davis about the importance of speedy inbounds, and reorganizing Klay Thompson and Brandin Podziemski to get Klay an open three. Plus Jonathan Kuminga posts up LeBron James and calmly stays in the flow of Steve Kerr’s motion offense to get a big score in crunch time.
Co-starring Lester Quiniones and Jerome Robinson. With Spencer Dinwiddie, Taurean Prince, and Max Christie.

CP3 already teaching guys who have been running these plays for years with this team. Basketball IQ is on another level.

[@gregerius]

wiggs is negative team bb iq impact

[@yanncourtel8538]

@@gregerius He is not, it's called working the details...

[@qtentertainment8172]

​@gregerius I don't think it's bad IQ as much as it's different personel. Cause if he sets the handoff that high up with Steph then his defender will be up cause Steph is a threat 35 feet from the basket. But CP isn't going to shoot from there so he should set it closer to the 3 point. Cause Poole Steph and Klay are comfortable shooting 30. CP isn't really looking to do that.

[@GeoDog0]

loved the breakdown of the mic'd up. Good job! And the Steph point to CP3 on that last play was a good catch.

[@MyMiniMovieMagic]

Oh my goodness. This is gold. Mic'd Up Breakdowns is a keeper. Thank you!,

[@Ahilliard44]

ye maybe if people realized that players make mistakes....Kerr wouldn't have been taking all that heat all season long..... Almost like they aren't robots and have to mentally be there as well as physically....

Cp3 is the perfect guy to mic up

[@franciscali9417]

[@intravenousradio]

CP3, like me, doesnt appreciate wiggins's lackadaisical execution. im very glad to see Chris Paul's coach-on-the-floor energy out there demanding that wiggins do better. his leadership has been a bright spot this season.

[@lucky889s9]

Should have traded Wiggins last off season, the january trade deadline, and next off season. He's lazy and only playing hard when it's contract time or trade deadline

Loved the mic'd up aspect of this video, so cool, it's almost like being on the court and playing. Keep them coming Eric.

[@Urgelt]

CP3 has earned his place in the HOF. He probably will never get a ring, but he has been elite for a very long time in this league, and he's still that guy. Thanks for the breakdown, thoroughly enjoyable!

[@christopherpaul7588]

He will probably get a ring. Never count the Warriors out.

[@fushumang1716]

I'll count the warriors out this season. They barely won against Lakers since AD went out. They can't get pass Mavs and even if they are lucky to get to spot 8, Nuggets will just eat them whole. They can't even dream beating Celtics 2024. They got BIG problems

[@christopherpaul7588]

@@fushumang1716 They barely won against the Lakers? They beat them by 10 points. I wouldn't call that barely winning. I think you're exaggerating.

[@rexbesana499]

@@fushumang1716Context matters. They were safe at #10 when they played against the Celtics. And they knew the Celts wanted to prove a point so they just let that one go. But noticed when the game matters, it’s the opponent who is back pedalling.

[@lucaspiccart3783]

Lester was messing w/ the Lakers "ice in my veins" three pointer celebration, D'lo and Schröder used to do it A LOT

[@localdadinyourarea2039]

Nah the association has moved away from that since Austin Reeves ran it into the ground 😂😂 Mikal Bridges "finger guns"and Jayson Tatum celly is what's widely used now cause it's not punished by the league since it's 3 fingers and not 2🤷🏾‍♂️ they all look dumb asf if u ask me..if u didn't come up with it or only using it to troll its originator,then u a meat rider on a global stage🤣sickening

[@kobealldayeveryday]

Facts and he was pointing at Christie who was the one who closed out on Klay

[@lavanyasalagrama7339]

The reason we hated him for so many years is also the reason we love having him on the team; the man’s got a lifetime’s worth and more of institutional knowledge of angles, play actions, and timing. Thank you, Eric!

I respected but didn't used to like CP... now I'd vote for him for president. He may be the best thing to happen to JK & TJD

[@delab13]

Your celebration breakdowns are the best 👌🏾

[@eddyhsu1978]

The last few seasons I never look at CP3 personal stats... its amazing how he is utilizing all his teammates as chess pieces. Its amazing you see a lot of highly talented players over the years who play the game utilizing their individual talents and skills. But CP3 at this stage of his career is seeing the game from a different perspective. It is no longer about getting points and assists. It is about maximizing the all 5 guys on court so the offensive is efficient as possible every time he is on court.

[@angeliquevega]

Point God for a long time!

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

You clearly have never watched CP3 play because he's always been like this. Hes never been like Rondo who cares about stats. CP3 was Kobe's favorite because they both were OBSESSED WITH WINNING

[@raider_reaper_4194]

Great work, if you do a breakdown of a whole game i would watch every second multiple times. So much details to learn from your explanations and to watch the games with other (better) eyes!👏

[@prestonturner7971]

This breakdown was pure genius! Thank you for doing this and for posting this. I don't have words for how much I enjoyed this breakdown. It shows the things we as spectators don't consciously necessarily pay attention too. And it shows the greatness of Chris Paul, Steph Curry and even Lebron's basketball minds. These play actions are happening, so fast in real-time, they're easy to miss. So again, thank you for this!

Small ball basketball is so sofisticated, explains why it has dominated the NBA over the last couple of years. Also, this is how the GSWs keep beating up on everyone. Everyone thinks they can go pound-for-pound with them in the art of smallball - oh how wrong they are!!! GSWs are like that Chinese kungfu master who will always have an unknown card up their sleeve.

I actually think the last celebration move actually points at the defense opponent who did not switch quickly enough and let Thompson make the shot😮
