How Steph Curry Got 50 In Game 7 | Warriors Kings 2023 NBA Playoffs

[@whaT-bu8bs]

His slashing is so underrated. He built some muscle over the years so he is harder to knock off balance in his drives and is also a really efficient finisher at the rim.

[@shareshareshare8590]

Even in Game 4, 6 of last Finals Curry been displaying such an underrated sneaking into the basket

[@brendanbloom3366]

Credit for him building muscles but he also has green sealing guys off and setting moving screens and curry been getting away with push offs.

[@skipperson4077]

Kevon Looney is amazing and has continued to improve every year. 39th in pay among NBA centers, on a recent multiyear contract where he clearly could have gotten more as a free agent. He overcame an injury that would have kept most out of the NBA and still limits him to this day (in high school in Milwaukee he was reportedly called KD Looney because of his ability to score from anywhere). He has almost no above-the-rim game yet led the league in offensive rebounds and is huge part of the Dubs motion offense and a prime defender. Instead of living in a mansion with a posse, he reportedly lives with his parents and other family in a SF condo, super humble and positive.

[@Romanus-]

Yep and he is an iron man. Played 82 games this year and last. He’s been insanely clutch for the warriors. Without his rebounding they don’t win this series

[@aiyalidat]

Wow thanks for the insight on his off court stuff. I've always loved Looney. He has become such a keystone in their modern day dynasty.

[@HypocritesExposd]

“Clearly could have gotten more as a free agent.” This is wrong because Looney did test free agency in 2022 and no one bit. It should’ve read “clearly he should’ve gotten more as a free agent.” The Warriors let GP2 go and paid Looney, but they got him for a steal of a price that’s for sure!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Looney has been a consistant and flexible cornerstone for the Warriors all this time. While he hasn't faced truly skilled and overpowering centers yet in the playoffs, he is really good at adapting and sticking to what works. He is also sneakily a really good rebounder, especially offensively. (which is a way harder thing to do than defensively) Kevon is a very versatile and smart post player. However, I would love for him to try this nonsense scheme vs Sabonis against Embiid, Jokic or even Jonas Valanciunas. They would eat him alive on every possession.

[@WhoahRichardxD]

Give Looney his flowers, but every defensive play shown in this video was a 3 second violation by him in the paint. It was actually really hard to watch. lol.

[@jemirtoussaint4940]

I swore sabonis was very good from mid. Very hard to watch him not shoot those confidently. Felt like Ben Simmons was out there

[@lilmixdboy]

He used to shoot jumpers alot midrange but moreso from 3 in OKC when Russ did his drive and kicks

[@anodyne57]

Could be fatigue. These games, everyone looks a little gassed from the pace they're playing at, and the stakes of every game.

[@Romanus-]

@@anodyne57nah, the dubs were giving him wide open midrange shots from the first quarter of game 1. He wasn’t gassed, he just isn’t confident taking that shot. Nerves prob also got to him as being left wide open and missing prob got in his head

[@awong2668]

25% from midrange in 2021-22

[@smoothjb2384]

That’s a good comparison. If he doesn’t work on that a lot this summer everyone is going to guard him that way next year. Ben got exposed in the playoffs and was never the same again. It’s gonna make it hard for the kings to repeat their success. I’d take under 47 win next year maybe even 45 when the over/under comes out

[@bookaufman9643]

That floater game is beyond elite. What I noticed a lot in game 7 is that Curry was getting fouled and there was no whistle. Especially out there on those threes but going to the basket as well. I noticed this a lot in the Celtics series last year and I hope it doesn't continue. Go dubs!!😊

[@bigboy1129ify]

Unfortunately it will continue the league can't be giving him his fair share of calls and still have him dominate like this... it will make the league look bad dude will be averaging 40pg

[@CLJCL]

I think it goes both ways, as the replays and throughout the game shows how Steph throws out his off arm to create space (which is an offensive foul). He can't get away with everything. There's some give and take. It all balances out somewhat in the end. I'm saying this as a Chef Curry fan. If we throw out that off arm in rec league play, we would be called for an offensive foul every time lol.

[@Romanus-]

@@bigboy1129ifyit’s crazy how Steph never gets a fair whistle. He gets held constantly when off ball and constantly takes contact when finishing in the paint. For some reason the refs never give him calls. Imagine if he averaged 7-10 FT’s a game like every other superstar. He’d be unstoppable

Steph Curry is a slender, light skinned, 6'2 gaurd with bad ankles and mediocre athleticism who changed the way Basketball is forever played. Let that sink in.

[@anodyne57]

5:33 : Steph ends that wild play with a hook floater over Sabonis in the lane...and on his way down, Steph hooks his arm over Domantas' mid-section to keep him from the would-be rebound. What's Sabonis' response? Watch him take a swipe with his arm and hand at Steph's face ( 5:33 ) which Steph seems to avoid by falling away. What's Sabonis' secret to his success in this league? Every single possession he seeks a way to move people out of the way with thinly disguised illegal clear-outs, arm swings, hip checks, and blatant two handed shoves. He specializes in craft and guile to disguise his employment of brute force. I can understand and admire the way Steph, Loon, and Dray figured out a way to dish it back.

i remember in my amateur local league playing days, our coach would literally tell us as a strategic play call to make our shots and stop the other team from making theirs 😆 but damn, a first round game 7 was a treat

[@luisgutierrez7338]

Question: How is boxing out being taught now? Track the ball in the air and guess where your man is trailing behind you? I come from the traditional way you stated (find man first, then locate shot) but I’ve never heard the drawbacks of it until this video. Thanks Coach, love your content!

[@luisgutierrez7338]

@DON'T KILL ME Ahh, it didn't register for me that it was offensive rebounding. I was curious if that's being taught for defensive rebounding now though? I feel like he was implying it for rebounding in general. I was also confused because in those clips, Sabonis had front position on Looney (closer to basket) so it makes sense (to me) to find man, rather than waiting by the rim.

[@RaymondStone]

The rebounding part confused me too, particularly because the Kings went up 2-0 in the series in part because the Kings got many second chance opportunities due to offensive rebounds where the Warriors were caught tracking the ball instead of accounting for players crashing the boards. So I actually disagree with the coach's take on rebounding since Sabonis tracked ball with plenty of time to react to a reasonable opportunity for a rebound. The problem is that sometimes the bounce just favors the other team.

[@tormentor91]

I don't think so. The big difference why you can play Sabonis like that but not really Draymond or Looney is that Curry and Thompson are much better and more willing to shoot from distance, so if your defender gets caught even a little on the screen you have problems.
