Warriors motion offense is unbelievably beautiful to watch, each of Stephs teammates are completely in sync with him. They deserve massive respect for their defense this series

[@mbrownie22]

Absolutely, people forget the Warriors had the second best defense in the NBA and held Boston under a hundred the last 3 games.

[@RudCh01]

@@mbrownie22 When you're the second best defense in the league and you play in a tougher conference, are you really the _second_ best defense in the league?

[@hrned]

@@mbrownie22 "2nd Best" is stupid. Rankings are very imprecise - my guess is there was no statistically significant difference between Celtics and Warriors' defenses.

[@pg13pacernation30]

Steph, Klay, and Dray are the definition of a dynasty. 🏆

[@David-iv6je]

@@RudCh01 I think the answer here is "not in the playoffs when you had guys injured all season." Klay coming back from over two years out. Draymond with back surgery. So the answer is that regular season stats with key guys out for almost all of the season said "second best." When those high IQ veteran got healthy and in sync with each other again and the young guys were playing their roles so well, this was the #1 defense, and it ain't close. What struck me most was how embarrassed Smart was. He's a great man defender but he makes too many mental lapses to be the best in the league. Yes, it is very hard to quantify team defense, but you know it when you see it. And it is much harder to do, since it requires a higher hoops IQ.

Curry got his revenge against Smart for injuring him and knocking him out for the last part of the regular season. "The best revenge is by winning" the Dubs said (after GP2 got hurt against the Grizzlies)

[@yhyh7512]

True. The best thing is, Smart helping them win the games. I'm really tired of watching his basketball (lot more of flops than basketball really). But his obvious flops didn't get calls this time and that leave the warriors open to shoot. Serves him right. He helping warriors score with his flops.

[@lik7953]

@@yhyh7512 what I hate about smart is that he’s capable of playing defense, but chooses to flop. It’s not like he’s completely overmatched, he has the tools to be great. It’s kinda like harden in the playoffs. Harden is soo good at scoring, but it feels like he’s trying to draw fouls more than actually score in the playoffs. It’s a mentality thing

[@pugward]

I mean he gave him a nut shot too, I'd say he got some physical revenge too lol

[@eurobeatking]

@@pugward I wish they showed it up-close when it happened (they did on the replay) rather than from a distance because of the Curry stats graphic they placed coming out of a timeout. The Boston crowd didn't boo or complain when Smart went down because they also knew he was (kinda) flopping. haha

[@eurobeatking]

@@lik7953 by that time in the 4th, Smart (and the other Celtics) was gassed, drained, demoralized. The realization that they were going to lose had settled in. You love to see it! They got within 8, but the Warriors kept scoring to keep it 10+ and that was it. Wiggins' 3 was the dagger.. Air Canada should have his own "good night" taunt. haha

[@TheeAlexx]

I was looking forward to seeing Draymond's jumper to end the 3rd in here. Not because it was a technical play, but simply because of how it deflated the building. The warriors were cold and celts were making a comeback. For Draymond to be the one to hit a jumper to quiet the crowd, I was speechless

[@pg13pacernation30]

He had his ups and downs, but Draymond Green was huge for the Warriors in Game 6 and is now a FOUR-TIME NBA champ. 👏

[@SapphicTwist]

I totally agree. I was in a bar with a bunch of LA-based Warrior fans, and when Dray hit that shot, it was like the biggest explosion of the night. Just incredible, given the context and circumstances...and the fact that Dray literally had a hand in his face...

[@dunmatta2670]

That double dribble by Smart has to be the dumbest move I've seen. Celtics need a better PG to run the offense. Also I feel like that Curry nutshot to Smart was payback for hurting him in the season. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jamarnabors9393]

He flopped we all know thar

[@ronjie]

Smart and Horford gotta go, imo

[@HypocritesExposd]

Takes incredible accuracy to hit someone’s nuts so perfectly that they fall to the ground like that. As soon as the play was over, Smart miraculously recovered though. Flop city 2.0

[@pandabearmadness6263]

[@keepitreal6912]

[@ali98093]

Steph is a unique kind of player. You cannot box his value and greatness with stats and trophies tbh. He revolutionized the game. He is the greatest shooter, and the greatest small player of all time. If you go out and watch kids and youth play, do you ever see them still mimicking the others players you mentioned? NO. They are trying to be Steph. He's the "Like Mike" of his era. Who among the Top 10 actualy has influence on how the youth play till this day? It's foolish that I have to spell this out. More than the stats, Steph and Warriors know playing as a team wins the chip. Steph can go for 50 and ball hog but he isn't cause that's not winning basketball. Cause he's unselfish, the whole team is unselfish. Every relevant OG Warriors player said this. His leadership, exemplary work ethic, gravity, off ball play, mentorship of younger players like Poole said so himself... Draymond said just a few weeks ago--you need selflessness to win a chip and their leader is the most selfless guy around. This is basic Leadership 101, when you shine in your role and let your teammates shine in their roles, you make them better cause they own their roles, see their value and flourish. Current and older Warriors pouring praises for him, defending him, playing for him and confessing so. That is a LEADER. Steph's impact haloes throughout the entire team. It's ridiculous the amount of disrespect Steph gets from these analysts. Just pull out his win percentages and plus-minus stats, and go blow by blow on how much defensive attention he gets. Steph's impact on winning is generational. People be saying replace Steph with so and so player and results would be the same cause he got so much help??? Dude... Dude, those were drafted by GSW who improved with him. Steph took a lower pay that allowed Warriors to get some players in their first run.. Andre said he came to Warriors cause of Steph. Even in those Finals, it was Steph getting double and triple teamed. He was injured along with Bogut and Andre in 2016 Finals but did we hear Steph making excuses? He never made loser talk but you got to put respect on his game. Fact is: Whoever Steph plays with gets better. Haven't we seen this enough?? Even with or without Klay and/or Draymond. Plug in Steph and the lineup becomes amazing. He makes his organization and his teammates better, yes, even KD, and the nos. prove it. They become All Stars and champions. Bob Myers said Steph is everything to the Warriors organization and Kerr echoes this saying none of this works without him. And Golden State has been the premiere organization for a decade now. If he wins two more rings and two more FMVPS (not a stretch given the trajectory of Wiggins and Poole) and bags more records, he will definitely land in the Top 5. Sometimes I wonder if analysts are in the payroll of Nike cause they literally make excuses for every player except Steph and always find everything to nitpick while denying his greatness by overblowing another player or situation. The way Steph even had to say, "What are they gonna say now?!" just show he knew all the doubts and slanders. When it's all said and done, Steph is going to be a Top 5 player. He's literally the most influential along with MJ. Is there any other player we can say has changed how the game is played? There's only the one and only Steph Curry. Steph-Klay-Dray is a unique core. People can try to replicate their play and skills but their character, unselfishness and real chemistry were the foundation of this Warriors dynasty. And at the very heart of it is Steph.

[@fgj6763]

@@JayzsMr It absolutely was an argument though. Most people in fact said KD was the better player. People acted like KD saved the Warriors, and when he left they called the dynasty over. But like the Celtics, Curry has put that argument to bed. Anyone still arguing KD was/is better than Steph is delusional. KD got swept by the team Curry just beat. KD lost to Steph in their only playoff head-to-head. KD's position was filled by two other players and Steph still won. He won with Harrison Barnes and went 73-9 with Harrison Barnes, He won with KD twice, He just won with Andrew Wiggins. Only reason KD has championships and finals MVPs is because he joined Steph and the Warriors. KD has no legacy without Steph and the Warriors. Yet people try to say KD was the best player on the team even though Curry just showed everyone KD was replaceable.

[@understandunderstand1271]

Everyone made plays and contributed even when they didn’t shoot well. To notice how truly special the warriors are you have to rewatch game and watch things that happen off the ball on both ends that’s where warriors really shine.

[@understandunderstand1271]

Klay was huge in first half and making shots to get them going. Payton dominated on defense. Porter played great screening and made shots. Looney rebounded. Draymond did it all. Poole played 18 min but is one of best scorers in the nba already he is so fast and has the ball handling and shooting to go with it. Wiggins is incredible. Curry is the best player in the nba and making teammates better. It could have been a worse blowout if warriors had made more wide open 3s.

[@JasonBoyce]

There were two older guys sitting next to me at the bar last night watching the game, 2 minutes into the game with the Warriors down 10, these guys were complaining like “What’s wrong with them? Why aren’t they playing better?” And I’m like “Bruh it’s 2 minutes in, on Celtics home court, with a team playing to stay alive! They’re gonna throw everything they got at these guys.” A couple minutes later, they went on a 21-0 run, and the Celtics were demoralized. That’s the advantage of experience. When the Celtics torched the Warriors in fourth quarter of game 1, Curry smiled as they lost. And they came out and played Game 2 as if they’d won Game 1. But Celtics? Down 3-2, as soon as the Warriors put up a fight, they wilted and just chucked clunkers the rest of the game. They were shook before the 2nd quarter!

[@Renegade4all]

yeah probably just because klay was introduced into the team midseason and after i think 1000 days without professional basketball he is still doing some un-klay-like things like forcing the basket or creating a shoot by himself (with sadly not much success) instead of doing more things klay is/was famous for (less dribbling/creating and more running and better positioning for passes/assists) so hopefully after a full pre-season workout he will come back better also his defense became a lot stronger in the last games of the finals as if he had to adjust himself again so it is even pretty likely that it will be stronger next year

Horford was the mouse in the house for Curry, Celtics are a great team with a great future.

[@loicthiant7448]

Yeah but guards like CP3 don't grow on tree anymore fr tho . Tatum need to help himself more he looked like a deer in headlight . The Alpha in this team was Brown he had some major impact on the defdensive and was aggressive asf maybe too much with the over dribbling . Tbh brown seems hell bend to take the bulls by the horns at time he fell but at least he tried in my books i prefer someone who messed up by effort than someone who overthinking and do nothing by fear .

Steph, Klay, and Dray are the definition of a dynasty. 🏆

[@NateDawg920]

What Poole did with Curry resting in final minutes of the 1st qtr and that 10-0 run, is exactly why he's one of the best 6th man of the year players I've seen in awhile. Granted he gets to be on one helluva team and the fact that GS can bring a guy like Poole into the game makes them so hard to beat..but what I really like about Poole is, even though he's an excellent shooter, he comes into the game and gives 100% on both ends of the floor. You see that happening with Wiggins as well. It's clearly a culture that the Warriors have on defense. Everyone thinks of all the 3s because that's the highlight package, but look at the 1st qtr. After GS took the timeout and figured out what Bos was trying to do..they put the clamps on defensively. Very rarely do you see a home team up by 12 early on and by the end of the 1st they're down 5 and only scored 22 in the qtr. Klay Thompson is another defensive stud. For years he's been the other half of the splash brothers, but he's always been an elite defender. If you have enough size then defense really comes down to grinding effort and education on what ur opponents are trying to do. Steph doesn't have the size and body type, but he makes up for it with steals. I've loved the Raptors for some time and I really wish that injury hadn't happened to Klay the year the Raps won. But Nick Nurse is a tremendous defensive coach. Lowry and Vanfleet are 2 small guards, but their D is very gritty and in ur face looking for steals, strips and drawing offensive fouls. If Kawhi didn't make the dumb decision to sign with the Clippers he might have one more ring cuz the Raps could have beaten Bos with Kawhi in the bubble and eventually beat the Lakers. Off topic now, but I mentioned that originally because I remember when GS lost to the Raptors that year and everyone was writing it off as the end of a Dynasty, while others stupidly pondered if it really was a Dynasty...well, there's no question now. 4 titles in 8 years. 6 finals appearances winning 4. That's pretty special. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations warriors for winning the 2022 NBA Championship, this series should have ended in Five games not six games. GSW played poorly in the 4th quarter of Game 1.

[@atibamaurice6060]

another great season of breakdwns my man….def gonna miss it

[@InsaneTrickShots]

“Was this intentional? Probably” 😂😂

[@DOJAx707]

Marcus Smart on the ground looking for a bailout pretty much sums up the Celtics performance.

[@toobasaurus23]

I've loved this team since 2011, and what a ride! I believed in this roster so much, that 2 weeks before the pre-season, I placed a $1000 bet on the Warriors to win it all.... at 23-1. This week, I will collect $24,000. Love from Australia Dub Nation. Today we 🍾🥂🎉

[@dianemoonstone4715]

Congratulations on your win as well! 👍👏👏👏💙💛💕

[@TheSocialFaker]

That last shot with Curry hitting the 3 and waltzing by with the "nighty-night" gesture with Marcus Smart on all fours is just beautiful. I like the Celtics and I hope Tatum/Brown/Robert Williams keep improving, but I can't stand Marcus Smart with all his misplays, turnovers and C-List acting.

[@cyberft]

Coach, can you talk about how the warriors communicate on offense with their hand signals and pointing.

[@HypocritesExposd]

Check out the YT Channel named “Dub Nation HQ” for excellent Warriors play analysis with exactly what you ask for. I learned so much watching that all year.

True analysis. Was waiting for this!

From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I always see your videos i Can see things that I lost while I was seeing the game

[@RudCh01]

Warriors' most complete game of the series, everyone looked _comfortable_, In a closeout game. On the road. At The Garden. In the Finals. _Comfortable_. That's crazy. Boston didn't stand a chance, despite the pre-series narrative, but mad props to a young team and their first year coach for even making it to the Finals. Can't wait to see what happens next year with a healthy Bucks squad in the East and a healthy Clippers team out West!

[@mokamofor2205]

Masterful analysis of the Warriors motion offense. I was more impressed by the MVP, Curry's defense in game 6 than his offense...Go figure. Very happy for Wardell Stephen Curry after the 2015 MVP heist and maybe 2018.

[@lesliepropheter5040]

Thanks for covering the whole game. Curry with some knuckles to the center cut. At least 3 times those guys tried to take him out at the legs, I’m sure one of those guys looked like knuckle balls here.

[@thej1615]

Which is why I think he totally meant to hit Smart in the nuts.

[@HandsomeRabbit8]

"Why Curry Wins Finals MVP" - not throwing shade at Coach Nick but I don't believe anyone could still ask this question sincerely after what Steph has done this year. 😅

[@tinok.8149]

Basketball won’t be the same to watch when Curry retires... 🐐

[@teto85]

When everyone is healthy, the Dubs are a joy to watch.

[@charltonjohns8087]

Unbelievable performance by Golden State Warriors defense! Draymond Green and Wiggins put the clamps on Boston Celtics all series long!

[@MaverickZ007]

This is what happens when your team got gassed up by stats. and forgot you still gotta show up and hoop lol

[@Devastish]

9:55 I think Horford was still in late in the game because he was shooting well. He hit several threes in the second half that helped them close the distance in a game where buckets were relatively hard to come by. Unfortunately for Boston, the Warriors were able to abuse him on defense. It was a trade off that might have worked if they could have kept that run going.

[@astrallite67]

think Ime Udoka was praying they go 9-for-11 from 3 in the 4th again.

The warriors really showed their championship experience in the first quarter when the Celtics when on a 12 -0 run. They didn't lose their composure and played like champs.

[@Jeff_2x]

It’s multiple games in the playoffs for example game 3 of the Bucks and Heat series he had 10 pts and games like game 1 of the Heat series and game 2 in the Warriors series where he showed up big in the first half than disappeared in the second. JT BEEN inconsistent this ain’t the first time.

Man! I honestly think they could be back next year. They are gonna be even better next year. When they sign some better free agents. and Get a True Lob Threat back with Their Center. This is gonna be pretty good.

love coach nick, ngl the title of this video is why people's narrative on steph gotta change tho, he doesnt really need an explanation to win the FMVP, soon as the GSW win the chip it should be automatic. no explanation was needed for lebron, giannis and KD

Warriors is a team that set up for playoffs. Once playoffs is started you would see different level from them

I don't know about greatest all time that is a fetch but Stephen curry is the most skilled offensively talent of All time 💯

[@HypocritesExposd]

Who said greatest all time? Coach? Time stamp please

[@brendanbloom3366]

Maravich is offensively the most skilled

[@shicrapt]

That wasn't a nutshot. That was a poke in the gut which also hurts a lot. KG did that a lot to jump shooters who would crumple to the floor in pain once they land.

[@jamalsampson9389]

This entire series was awesome!!!

[@soongtype]

Tatum showed off his signature move a lot in Game 6: massive euro-step in the opposite direction of the basket followed by bricking a turnaround finger roll. Too bad Middleton got hurt, Bucks Warriors would have been the better series.

[@ryanb9305]

Middletendon is overrated he wouldn’t make any difference
