You’re wrong. Harden shot like 4/5 in the fourth. Except he had around 3 turnovers. Curry was slowly making Harden pass which led to steals. Curry isn’t a fantastic defender but he is definitely a sneaky one

I love how harden give those tough shots to his teammates in the end of the shot clock so he doesn't hurt his percentage

Stupid statement. His percentages are always low because he takes to many crazy shots. When the game was out of reach and his teammates hadn’t helped the hole game he was trying to get them to get involved. If you actually took time to see the man he truly is and not go along with what others say you would know how dumb your statement is.

James Lee --- I'm 70 years old so it's safe to say I've been out of my moms basement many more years than you. Also I never use cuss words towards people because that shows low class. At the time of this post Rocket players were wondering around expecting Harden to be a miracle man and he said he can't do it alone he needs those guys to step up. The game was already over for them so why not try and get some positive action out of the others. Something worked because they played more like a team the next game. Everything I said was FACT. Harden does have low shooting percentages because he does take to many crazy shots that have no chance of going in. My point is Mounir said Harden was more worried about lowering his shooting percentages so he was passing. When the fact is just the opposite he shoots when he shouldn't thus that indicates he has no concern about his percentages. Harden also has more touches per game than most players in the NBA. I know I'm dumb according to you but if he doesn't how come he's 3rd in assist playing with Paul who also is a top assist leader in the league ? Most games he is responsible for over 50% of the Rocket's scoring by what he scores and by the assist he's involved in leading to scores. Now run along and cuss other people so your night is complete.

Maybe he actually thinks it will lead to winning but if you don't think he's trying to pad his stats you aren't watching him play (or your biased/from Houston)

As the game went on, it became very clear why a few days back, Curry was saying if they wanted to try to pick on him defensively he welcomed it.

Danny Blau what???? Did u watch the game or this video? As usual, the only way curry got away was cuz of how good a defense he has around him. In the first half he got burned and in the second half the Warriors were literally switching off ball just so curry shouldn't have to defend the ball which only he would have the luxury of, cuz he has klay iggy kd and dray hu all can take any guard or wing and communicate so well. If curry was on any other team, the rockets would've run their pick and roll and got curry switched on to harden who would've scored or lobbed to capela or kicked out to wide open shooter every single time

I completely agree with u this read game 1. Where the rockets ran 45 iso plays, basically ignoring their whole team but harden. Yes I did watch the game and video. They were so focused on getting curry on harden, they were eating up most of the he shot clock and not involving anyone. Yes curry wasnt stopping harden, but he did his best to hang in. But in that game specifically, the warriors just stayed with their men with the occasional collapse from the center position so harden didnt have open shooters to kick out to.

Houston loves isolation but they usually don't do it *this* much. They got suckered by the dumb meme that Curry is bad at defense. While they went at Curry, GSW's lead stretched, and Curry made several great defensive plays in the clutch, including picking Harden twice.

Devin Cruz Right all the rockets gameplan is chuck up 40-50 threes a game, if you’re not making the 3s, chuck up some wild ass shot and flop so you get free throws. Then on the next possesion dribble the ball for 23 seconds and pass it to a heavily contested man on the wing for a terrible shot. The ONLY reason that series even went to 7 is because in game 4 and 5 the Warriors made some stupid mistakes in the clutch.

AP AP And he gets EVERY foul every time he flops. And when he doesn’t it’s automatically “rigged”

Great analysis. Liked how it contrasted two distinct strategic approaches and tracked the gradual success of one versus the failure of the other when Houston got too predictable.

OMG your analysis of play-by-play is amazing.

You’re terrible and incredibly wrong. It’s almost like this take was all knee-jerk response and no thought. Someone get this dude a new job as a store clerk, this “coaching” business is not his strong suit. Take a note from all the great coaches and don’t be reactionary. The curry experiment worked perfectly. Curry looked tired game 2. This analysis is silly

It's just that a lot of you guys come off as objective analyst when you're more appropriately described as more informed fans. It's inaccurate to say this is biased reporting then it's a rationalized, well thought out opinion.

this video is just a click bait as always. Coach has valid points but since we already had the results of game 2 this became irrelevant somehow.

what offense would you run if you were D’antoni?

Quin Roark idk bc u cant just change it as whole myb it would be the best to attack with pnr with curry and pass capela in paint more bc he is much taller than draymond

idk but doing the same exact thing on every possession doesn't seem like a very smart idea. Then again d'antoni isn't the smartest coach either.

Such a great breakdown! I learned so much from this video!

I wish your videos existed in the 90ies when I was in my prime. Well there wasn't the internet yet ;) Anyway, highly entertaining, highly educational. Analytics on the spot. I also watch inside nba, first take, the herd etc., none is more entertaining than your channel ! Honestly

That lineup has no rim protection. How do you keep Harden out of the lane with steph in front of him? If the help comes, somebody's leaving a shooter.

This video didn’t age well

This is literally the best video ever... you didn’t miss any details and said it perfectly

Great stuff!

Difference is harden isos are him dancing for 20 secs which fatigues the hell out of him. While Durant isos are him just taking a few dribbles and shooting over the shorter defender who is almost everyone guarding him lol

Sorry by winning the war mean winning the series, Warrior just won the first battle.

Great analysis...it is a pitty that from time to time you derive extreme conclusions about certain players

Fantastic breakdown, cheers man.

With Harden scoring 41 even after Warriors put a lot of pressure on him it appears Warriors decided Harden can’t beat them alone so let him get his points and shut the rest down. What will come next if Hardens teammates keep just standing around the Warriors will exhaust him then it’s totally over. Big difference is Warriors are playing as a team by everyone on the court is getting involved Hardens teammates look like they are totally dependent on him. This is what happen in the last several years. All the new guys they got supposedly changed all that. They didn’t in game one and if they don’t in game two may as well make vacation plans.

Man I already knew Houston was going to get swept from day 1! You cant outscore the Warriors, no way you'll win. You need a small forward that can go head to head with Durant, you need a long and athletic defensive team, and you need to get in their head and make them not trust each other. Their is only one team that has that roster, shocking turnaround... it's the team that he left!

Colonel's Office Lebron can't beat GS if he's the starting small forward in any team because he makes his teammates worse by turning them to catch and shoot players or ISO players. Kyrie will make Boston worse because he can't score unless he takes 10 dribbles and that makes his teammates have the ball less and minimize their talent

Great game strategies break down, thank you

This is great analysis. No bias just straight information not seen by the average viewer.

Rockets fans before game 1: rockets are deeper, James harden can’t be guarded, CP3 is hungry, he will shut down Stephen Curry. After game 1: WAHHHH ITS NOT FAIR KD JOIN WARRIORS WAHHHH THEY ARE DEEPER DEN ANYONE ELSE WAHHHHH

the rockets actually shot 4-12 with curry as the primary defender so it isnt like his defense is complete garbage. he was actually great yesterday. all the shots that harden made on curry were contested well, and his only bad defensive play was the first one of the game.

EUPHORIC Le-WiS u know that average means he's better than half the league😂. His zone d looks way better than it really is cuz of how good his team is at defense and how they can all switch and how good Kerr is and draymond is at directing the defense

That was a great vid I like to see more of them

Great video man.....I now understand why Curry didn't really get going on offense until the second half... he was exhausted on the defense, but the Warriors are so versatile I believe they will always be a step ahead of the Rockets in game 2.
