@@Poopopotamusgaming how many series have we seen blowouts on one side in Game 1 and then quick overreactions from fans and pundits? You can't tell much from a single game, let alone from a single quarter. Boston blew out Toronto in Game 1, for example, and that series went to 7. Were they not playing well? It's called coaching and studying tape. Also, the Lakers' role players have been pretty bad at times and in Game 1 they were hitting everything.

After watching this, I had so much fun watching game 2 because I recognized the split cuts and how often miami went to them in a given possession.Thank you for theses videos. It makes watching and understanding the game possible for someone like me.

This is exactly what I teach our players. Feed the high post. From there, the D is screwed, especially if you have shooters.

Best basketball Insight and analysis to be found on youtube has to be 'Thinking Basketball'. So much more watchable and digestible than anything else.

No, Warrior's offense was actually modeled from Miami's offense.

Love this. The real king is Mark Few out in Gonzaga. The NBA finally caught on to what that program does so well and how such a small town school plays with all the big boys. They're offense is always efficient; constant cuts, constant off-ball movement and making the defense square up with multiple efforts if they want to achieve a stop. Few changed the game.

I like the Southbeach Splash Bros and Tyler and Duncan are the next heir apparent of shooting backcourt guards

As usual... fantastic content

It's interesting to me that Miami is still one of the more capable defensive units despite this level of energy expenditure on offense. We saw pretty frequently with the Warriors how this style of offense that keeps everyone on the move can be detrimental on the other side of the ball. Either way, I love the post passing and focus on cutting to the rim for the easy looks. It's easy for me to see how James Harden could fit into an offense like this filling in as the primary ball handler and perimeter threat, especially given how talented he is in terms of finding the open man when drawing multiple defenders or driving to the basket. The loss of Goran and Herro would have been tough to accommodate, but it's a shame either way that they gave up on making that trade happen

I've always felt that the 3pt has so many pros and cons. When players just chuck up shots in iso or shot 20 three's a game and only making a handful, it's quite hard to watch. However, the heats off-ball movement and stretching of the floor is very nice to watch.

The Miami Heat are already in the finals and have and an insane amount of cap space and with their injuries in this series it’s going to fuel them and make them want to get back there fully healthy with every more experience Miami is going to be the the nba dynasty of the 2020s.

Ik this is kinda late but do u think u can do a video of how the lakers beat the nuggets? & I would love to see your in dept points and what LA did differently guarding Jamal differently and ect then the Clippers. Esp since we haven’t really gotten a Lakers Bubble video. Pleaseeeee

This is the reason why I feel like Tyrell Terry will be a good pick in the mid first round.

I've always thought that more teams should try to emulate the warriors off ball movement

They just have a great coaching staff and back office to find these players that goes well together. Its unfortunate that they get hit by injuries in the finals.

Man. Looking at this now, Duncan and Herro really drop the ball this current season. Granted they're coming off a Finals run and a two month turnaround, but damm.

2:06 Impressive dime, it must take some guts to pass in such crowded space but i'll guess he was also taking into conderation who was on the court, if it was Marcus Smart, Caruso, GP2 or Jokic it would be more dangerous. But even around them overload of information can cause mental lapses.

Their roster alone says a lot. Both teams have an elite shooting back-court, an elite defender on the wing, and a big man that can dribble with great vision and passing ability. The only difference would be is that the Heat are really way younger team, but are already so good.

The right comparison is GSW. 2 great shooters running around, 3 guys who can attack, shoot and pass the ball. 5 guys who know how to play the system and pass the ball. That's GSW offence.

Well whaddya know, Spoelstra's one of the co-author of positionless Basketball 🏀

I wish the Hawks would employ this pace and space offense. This is beautiful basketball at it’s best.

2:59 How many steps was that? Four? If you're going to praise the "nasty juke" maybe you ought to notice how the separation was actually achieved.

God I hope the Blazers start to use this offense w/Nurk as the big man in the post.

next how the lakers old skool basketball is bringing them the title in a perimeter oritented era

Who needs to be credited for the smooth and probably best offense of Golden State Warriors

Been saying this all year they move like warriors did

The Lakers model has put a nail in the GSW and this Miami model. Constant cutting with elite shooters are great, if the threat of easy layups are in abundance. But, with 3 elite 7' defenders choking the lane and 2 elite passers, with perimeter D and 3 and D average players, these offenses see their efficiency drop substantially.

The Harden antidote

The only problem with this is, warriors(2014-2016) had shooters who can defend. Harrison barnes, klay thompson, draymond green(wasn’t this bad back then. He was shooting around 36 percent then), barbosa and of course the gravity of steph curry. And the best part is they actually had rim protectors in bogut and festus ezeli to make this work on defense. Its going to be impossible to replicate that against good defenses in the playoffs for other teams because Tyler herro and duncan Robinson cant defend. Now you saw lebron hunt for steph curry mismatch in the playoffs. But that can be covered for if hes the only player. Imagine there’s 2 of them on the floor. That is impossible to cover on the defensive end.
