If the warriors shot 0-16 from three to begin the game and you only lead by 3, you are in trouble.

[@randomperson2540]

Agreed

[@randomperson2540]

Yet some how only won by 3 when the game was over

[@uuh4yj43]

if the warriors started hot and went cold the grizzlies woulve won without morant. i think this video is misleading if you think this game wasnt a flukey win by the warriors, which, hey, it happens, but is not really that big a knock on the grizzlies. ( just so we ate clear im not saying the warriors couldnt have won decisively, but with the way both teams were playin its hard to state it as anything but a coin flip for either team to win)

[@1takeajay]

It was bc the grizzlies shot like 2-16 from three themselves

[@javierlandaverde4108]

lol They only need a minimum a minute and a half to go on a mini 9-0 run with there shooting and shot creation AND not to mention they got Draymond and Wiggins who can make stops for the defense,

[@hpaulbryant729]

GSW fan. That was a tough game to watch. For the first 45 minutes, Curry, Klay and Poole shot the ball like they were below average shooters. I felt the frustration "other fans" must endure when their team plays against the Warriors. lol

[@RV1AND]

As Steph put it in the postgame interview when asked about his coach Mike Brown's new job next year with Sacramento, "First 3 quarters felt like we ALL got traded to the Kings."

[@grgkev9166]

Coach is a gsw ass kisser . He aint gonna make a video of game 5

[@canyouread]

On that Bane foul on Curry, I think what most ppl missed is that Bane steps on Curry's heel, which throws Curry's momentum off. Curry isn't known to sell those kinds of fouls (others...yes) and Bane's lack of arguing points to an honest foul.

[@bballbreakdown]

Ohhh.. did I miss that?? Great catch

[@oliverhumphris4771]

Cmon man that’s a flop 😂 he went flying, stepping on your heel doesn’t make you go into the fifth row

I think aside from Curry, the MVP of this game was Otto Porter. Dude was hitting clutch 3s when Memphis was about to blow the Warriors.

That "elevator doors" out of bounds play is sick.

[@hobear637]

Shout out to coach and his in-depth analysis, and so quickly after the game too!

[@SSJRome]

Warriors couldn’t have done it without Dillon Brooks lol stellar performance

[@SM-vx6zq]

This was like the Opposite Day game. The splash bros and Poole couldn’t make open shots and Porter who has been struggling all series, was the only one consistently making shots throughout the game. Grizzles we’re lucky this wasn’t another 30pt blowout

[@cnelsonlv99]

Man, such a great analysis! Nailed it on the head! Sometimes shots fall, sometimes they don't... but if you want to know who is "winning" the battle, you have to ignore that aspect, and look at the quality of the shot attempts. Warriors were getting the same open looks they got when they scored 142, albeit at a slower tempo of basketball. The entire game, the one thought that kept recurring was the fact that Klay and Poole hadn't hit a 3, Curry was struggling, and yet they were only down by 4. Just a bad sign for Memphis.

[@bandoogiemanz]

Somehow we can see that watching from home but these "analysts" getting paid millions of dollars, can't, smh.

[@supermario2100]

Steph's 18 in the 4th happened because he changed his shoes. You can see in the video he went from orange to purple, but in his post-game interview he mentioned wearing brand-new shoes for the Craig Sager Foundation that weren't broken in. Not sure why everyone else shot so poorly, but Steph sorta has an excuse lol.

[@TheWaterpolofreak]

@callmecatalyst Yeah otherwise it would have been a really soft foul imo

[@MrHotSpice100]

Thank you for the take, it was Warriors game they just needed to hit a shot because they where doing well on D and out hustling on rebounds, and really the better team .. making open shots but not hitting

[@uuh4yj43]

i mean making tge shots is half the game, the grizzlies werent getting great looks and still made shots so you cant praise the warriors for getting open shots and not capitalizing and not say the same about the grizzlies beating the warriors though defense with shotmaking. (imo this channel is kind of hilariously biased rn and pushing a lot of narratives without nuance)

@@aariesharris7894 look, im just saying the warriors couldnt score while seeing way easier looks, the grizzlies were facing the warriors defending extremely well and still made just as many shots as the warriors did on the grizz mediocre defense. both teams shot badly, the grizzlies shot badly because the warriors defended well and the warriors scored badly despite getting easy looks. looked it up and both teams made 9 3s on terrible efficiency and shot 40% from the field. this game was nothing for any team to write home about.... but hey to each their own, maybe you just like the warriors better

[@joels5150]

Said this before, but if the Dubs make even 1/3rd of their 1st half 3’s, which is below their average percentage, they’re going into the half up double digits. It’s not like Memphis locked them down defensively for 3 quarters and then took their feet off the gas. The Warriors players just missed wide open good looks. They also had some dumb turnovers. But they did mostly a good job on defense and the score never got out of hand. It’s not like the Grizz ever had a 20+ point lead.
