It's also important to note that GS is making the Mavs work hard on both offense and defense. That makes an enormous impact on open shooting as well.

"Get in the hole... trouble on the wood" 🤣 I'm not one for sponsors but when you do it like this Coach, im dead 🤣👌

The warriors are putting the mavs' offense to the test. It's as frustrating as when watching kidd on the bucks getting Giannis to bulldoze everyone.

Is Warriors defence being great really a surprise??? For me they're better defensively than offensively

The number of times I've been watching this series and saying out loud "They're forcing anyone not named Luka to beat them - and that's how the warriors will win this series"

Can you talk about how the warriors switch their defensive coverage constantly? I think that's a reason why the Mavs can't get into their rhythm because they're always trying to read which zone is coming and what action they need to run

This might not have been pointed out enough, although Dallas has been struggling from 3, so is Klay. They're just getting beat because Dallas lives in the 3 while they cannot put stops on straight possessions.

Coach Nick with yet another smooth ad transition

Warriors have seen this "isolation" offensive before with James Harden in Houston and with Lebron in Cleveland. Dallas Mavericks are a good team, but they need to find another superstar player for to be a serious championship contender.

Man Coach Nick on demon timing with those innuendos in that ad😂

While the Warriors have disrupted how the Mavs want to run their offense, the Mavs cannot hit their open shots (and oh boy were there plenty). Also, this Mavs team reminds me of those Rockets teams with Harden under Mike D'Antoni with an offense centered around a pick and roll offense under a star player (Luka Doncic) with two other facilitators (Brunson and Dinwiddie) while the rest of the team are spot-up shooters. These kinds of teams are strong when they hit their shots, but are perpetually screwed when they aren't

Who else saw Draymond help Luka up instead of trying to get out on the fast break for a 5 on 4?

People are saying "the Mavs should just hit shots." I know you all know, but imagine how hard it is to constantly keep up with Golden States motion offense then coming down and being ask to stand somewhere and "just hit the shot." Edit: It also doesn't help when you have a primary ball handler who can score at will. You could go possessions without touching the ball then be asked to shoot

All these open looks, I'm sure the Mavs would love to have Seth Curry right now.

honestly i think its the pressure. Even Dinwiddie and Brunson have been able to put points down to help Luka, but bench production this series is abysmal compared to the Phoenix series. Of course the Warriors are a much faster paced defense than Phoenix, but really Dallas has proven to be able to drain shots but aren't doing so in the conference finals.

6:25 the fact that they help Luka to stand up is gorgeous

Jesus Christ. The passes that Luka made in this game, under pressure are nuts. Just when you though its a turnover you get a pass right on the money. Amazing

9:33 that handshake though 😂👨‍🦲👋🏻

Another thing I would like to add is Luka's usage rate coach. He reminds me of Harden. How do you expect shooters to get in a rhythm if there is no ball movement?

They’re only collapsing the zone defense on pick and roll and iso. So while some of the 3s they’re shooting appear open: They’re being created off of no player movement, the Warriors aren’t having to make difficult rotations, the Warriors are dictating what shots Luka takes, Luka, Dinwiddie and Brunson are not getting easy layups And it allows the Warriors to win the rebounding battle.

Every team misses open shots sometimes. Even Curry and Klay miss multiple wide-open ones in the game, and Dallas' shooters aren't that elite level.

can you talk about Grizzlies with/without Morant performance differences?

The sponsorship segment for this episode is out of this world lol

The 🔥🔥 transitions into the ad reads 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Coach Nick I love your vids, and love how much mileage you've got from this song. It slaps each and every damn time.

Yeah they are getting good looks from 3 but noticed every shot was only 3s. I think the mental aspect kicks in when you aren't confident you are going to make a shot. The warriors are also getting open 3s but they don't settle as much as the mavs which has diversified their offense.

8:53 Which just shows how being an off ball threat (like Jokic or Bird) just changes EVERYTHING about the game and how the team covers you. Having teammates more active off ball is also a must, increases the threat by increasing complexity and confusion while also having the huge benefit, and cost cut, of maintaining the personnel the same!!! (Now it's a question of how tough it is to teach all those patterns and constant motion to everyone).

Theres just something hilarious about the BBallBreakdown intro music playing in the background of a team clanking shots off the rim

I called it in the beginning the Warriors were going to sweep the Mavs. The Warriors are just the far superior team.

Missed this music.

Let go warriors 1 more game and we are back to the finals after 3 years

As a Warriors fan, we got super lucky they rimmed out like 5 shots at least..... but I think it is because we made them uncomfortable in the series so the team should get some sort of credit, but ya they missed a lot of shots, but they did seem more open in phoenix series.

Finally! The OG music for my favorite team the Dubs….

Warriors are dominating bc 1.They can play offball, 2. Their best player can get 30 without hogging the ball and actually play good defense

3:08 The bars and rhymes for the sponsor were lit af 😆😆😆

Why shouldn't I believe the Dallas shooting isn't just regression to the mean? Many of the Mavs shooters are shooting better in the playoffs than they shot during the regular season. Or, maybe it's just fatigue. It las if the Warriors offense makes the other team more than other NBA offenses.

I mean they had the second best defense on the reg szn and on their 18-2 start they had one of the best defensive numbers ever, so....

Those inuendos in the in video add. So smooth

9:32 that handshake of luka and bald guy lmaooooo

What do you call a chameleon that can’t change colors anymore? A reptile dysfunction.

The transition to the ad was to smooth 😂

Mavs have the same shooting % as Kidd did --- low. No one expected Mavs to get this far anyway with this line up.

Mavericks have missed so many wide open 3s games 1 and 3. GSW has been great on defense but Mavs are killing themselves with the amount of easy shots they are missing.

Is this the firet time the beat dropped on a miss? 😆 0:30

Best promo talk ever hahah

TRANSITION HAD ME DEAD 💀

coach that entire sponsor was so outta pocket 😂 love it

I gotta say that ad transition is so smooth i ain't even noticed that you're advertising.

the ad on this video was top tier coach

That ad really sneaks up on you lmao

🤣🤣 the only channel where the adverts are as good as the rest of the video

Yessss! glad you put this music on I'm getting goosebumps everytime I hear it🔥

this guy's adverts are too funny, how does he make the worst part of the video one of the best parts, coach nick is the goat

3:50 what did coach mean by this 🤨🤨

SPADES FIRST, THEN BROOMS!!! 3/4 of the hole done, finish digging it, stuff the Mavs in it, then break out the celebration brooms.

1:54 damn that double dribble :D

That ad was top 5 all time

That ad got me 😂😂😂

I noticed that people are refusing to give Steph his credit. Luka iso on steph and he couldn't get pass him. That's defense. Draymond and Wiggins didn't even have to help because Steph had already poked the ball away.

So happy that the old music is back… Bravo

I think the Mavs previously playing a 7 game series, playing every other day in this series, and having to guard the constant GS ball movement has tired their legs.

lol, luka patting jason kidd's head looks so wholesome

That Ad segment had me dying 😂😂😂😂 Flawless transition 👏

Truly nobody better at in video promotions than you Coach Nick, haha another great one

Bounce on hard wood lmao, I can't with you Coach. I was laughing so hard

That was some nice ‘WORD PLAY’ with that ED ad in the video lol.

Did the raptors coach really revolutionized the defense on the league? Been hearing a lot of "box and 1" lately

COACH! That ad insert was a mental flashbang LMAO

The rebound differential is also painful. Golden state has 29 oreb to Dallas' 20 while Dallas has missed way more shots.

Luka's ability to be not sped-up is both an advantage and disadvantage for him. He plays on his own pace and its hard for him to adjust depending on game time situations.

12-year-old watching this wondering what the hell is E.D. lol

we always talk about the warriors are good in transition, but let's talk about that ad transition

For the Draymond haters, go to @6:25: show me another player that will help up an opposing player he inadvertently knocked down during a game, let alone during the playoffs. Green could have used that moment to make a run down the court, but instead hoisted Luka from the ground, IN TRANSITION! That's a level of sportsmanship I almost never see in this league. Or show me one time Curry getting assisted up, after a made basket, (and I know he falls sometimes to try and get calls, but lets focus on an obvious time he was knocked down intentionally or not) by an opposing player DURING the game and not during a T.O.

this ad was on a whole new level

Always great to listen to you break down the tape, Coach!!

Coach would you ever consider talking about secondary assists and how assists can be conflated and don’t completely recognize the value of a playmaker

HE BRINGED THE OLD MUSIC BACK LETS GOOOOO

The legendary BBALLBREAKDOWN music is back for this awesome video! As always, you the real MVP, Coach!

Wow that ED ad was something else! Lol

Coach slipping an ad about ED in a film breakdown is GOAT-level stuff

Unbeatable soundtrack dont change it bballbreakdown!

The real X factor these series is Kevon Loney. Hes able to control rebounds both offensively and defensively, sets good screens and knock the easy looks he gets. Another underrated guy is Otto porter jr, hes a spark plug everytime he gets in the game, imo they should switch to him more when Green starts getting upset and making mistakes.

no one gonna talk how fucking smooth that fucking ad is? lmfaoooooo

Imagine CP3 and Monty Williams watching this. Practice zone defence all summer.

that ad In the middle of the video😂😂

I like how you transition to the ad with the same pog voice. XD

So I have watched a lot of Warriors basketball over the past 20 years. I have also watched this channel and some others to understand things better schematically. I see the Warriors is having an advantage in 2 areas: 1 - Persistence: One of the hardest things is to provide consistent effort when the other side is scoring. I think this is a completely overlooked skill. 2 - Execution: Frankly the Warriors are making fewer errors with their scheme than the Mavs are with their scheme. This ends up in what Steve Kerr always calls the "possession game". By this, Dallas is a perfect opponent for the Warriors. The Grizzlies are the worst kind of opponent. The Warriors win (in Steve's view) if they can win (or often keep close) the possession battle. This means how many shots does each side take in a game. Turnovers and rebounds are the problems that the Warriors always have to solve. With their offensive skill set, they should score a certain points per possession. If they can outscore the other team in points per possession, then all they have to to is have the same or more possessions. Why Dallas is a perfect opponent is that they are offering almost no defensive intensity. They are getting beat on the perimeter and have no rim protection. Memphis is all athleticism (rebounding, steals, deflections, etc.). That plays into the worst habits that Golden State has.

Some top of mind thoughts: 1) if shuffling between different defensive schemes unsettles the offence, then on the whole it's probably worth it. If there's a particular scheme that is underperforming, running it fewer minutes might be preferable to not running it at all. This is essentially Mark Cubans explanation of how Mavs zoned against LeBron in 2011 2) If running the zone gets the ball out of the hands of the primary playmaker in a heliocentric offence it's probably worth it, even if it concedes wide open 3s to the role players. 3) the zone hides Curry well on defence which will be important against Butler or Tatum

Coach I know they got open 3s, but don’t you think it would have been smarter to attack on the catch for easier shots at the rim when the defense slide outs ? Rather then iso too man on the zone ?

That was such a smooth transition from ED back into the breakdown but then it was funny AF for a few seconds there likw whoa Dremond did what?>>?>? sus

Hi coach. Just noticed that one way Dallas or other teams can slow down the warrior offense is to pressure Draymond Green when he’s at the top of the key. I’ve seen so many of their plays where everyone is focused on the warriors’ movement while Draymond just stands at the top with very little pressure

I like how Draymond gave a hand to luka when he fell down 6:30

they cant get a proper shooting form/rhythm due to tired legs defending the warriors on the other side

That whole roman ad was so cheeky LOL! How has no one mentioned it 😂

solid sportmanship from green at 6:26

*when you rip the skin off the Mavs at the end of a Scooby Doo episode, they're actually the Houston Rockets.*

ayo is no one going to talk about 3:50? coach nick wildin with these sponsors

Just imagine if Dallas had somewhat decent shooters who didn't brick wide open shots

Coach Nick is petty 🤣 he said "lick his thumb and brick an wide open jumper" about Brunson 🤣🤣

It's a bit like the 2011 Mavs for Lebron. Although Luka is better at shooting, his average speed makes him vulnerable to shahow from other defenders. One of the better way to attack zone would be a big wing attack at high post. Lacking wing/big scorers is Mav's big weakness now
