Right or wrong
This is true analysis, not sure what undisputed or ESPN is doing anymore.
Steph is not the best player in the league Jason stop that narrative man you’re a smarter analyst than that
In the clutch, warriors abandons the high pick and roll that worked all game and try’s to force threes. Klay is the worse because he is not knocking down his shots and seeing the ball less.
All the warriors have to do is take care of the ball and do not let the lakers get in the bonus. Schroder, Dlo, and AD is going to push hard for free throws. Also warriors need to outrun AD from one rim to the other. TAKE CARE OF THE BALL.
Andrew Wiggins has a cracked rib or something. He’s questionable for game 6. Warriors can’t catch a break
Why do these adjustments have to be game to game and not during the game?
Get Gooder at Basketball broke this down beautifully on his channel! Love you both
Warriors in 7
No mention of Wiggins injury lol
With another help from the refs it can happen.
sorry, he is WAAAYYY to technical…
U bout to see LBJ as a point gaurd tonight going down hill wit dat body , he no he can pick his matchup coming down the court knowing curry is the weakness MARK MY WORDS
Andrew Wiggins might not play tonight thanks to Lebron
I saw something from Steph in game 5 he is definitely locked in the question is who is going with him. Will we see game 6 Klay back in his hometown after two disappointing trips? I can’t put much hope unfortunately into Poole unless he plays like he has something to prove. Moody has been decent and we can rely on GP2 defensively. It’s gonna be a mail bitter I am shaky but I will not discount Curry.
A fair analysis!
Fun fax: 06 finals heat had 52 more fts than mavs in 6 games and that series was for sure rigged meanwhile lakers already has 52 more fts than warriors in just 5 games😂😂😂 yo dumb ass just can’t admit that refs are helping lakers
Your presentation is like a graduate seminar in basketball. I am like a freshman who happened to stumble in this complex but fascinating hoop analysis. Class. I love it a lot knowing I am a freshman but confident I will catch up before the Warriors beat the Nuggets and Curry is declared a GOAT!! How about that for a quick study!
I know GS is not Memphis but have a strong feeling it will be a pretty easy win. Similar to gm6 Denver vs Phoenix.
Long as LA comes out strong in the first half, GS will start forcing in the 3rd & crumble with bad shots leading to transition baskets, which then leads to silly fouls, rushing plays & passes leading to turnovers, etc.
So far, in this series, Steph showed up, Draymond did and Wiggins too. Time for Poole and Klay to show up as well. Looney needs to collect those rebounds and give the Warriors second chances.
The major problem is Anthony Davis rested too much with that injury. The longer he's still the bigger problem he is. Warriors can't afford to foul only because that lets Anthony Davis walk up the court. Ideally you want him jogging behind the play and too late to be a factor. Better to push after a layup than give free throws and face a rested set defense.
I think if Klay goes for 20+ with a good shooting percentage, the Warriors will be ok assuming Walker doesn’t go for another 15 in the 4th quarter or some other bullshit
U gotta play guitar on one of these lol.
I found your channel this series and became a fan. Question, isn’t it possible to put on clips while you do the breakdowns? Would be so cool
Warriors win by 11 tonight. Game 6 Klay will show up and Step will drop 45 points! Dubs in 7…and the first team in history to come back from 3-1 twice…..
I doubt it Warriors will win this game!
in jason i trust
We all know you are a Laker Fan 😂
This game comes down to not only GS limiting fouls but the refs letting both teams play ball and not calling any tacky fouls. Lakers can not outscore the warriors unless they are getting to the line at a high rate. Lakers are horrible in transition defense as well. If there is a fluid game tonight without a bunch of calls and stops warriors can take it to 7. Klay will also have to be a factor. A game 6 klay performance would be great but honestly that’s not needed for the warriors to win. If klay can get himself 20+ shooting efficiently that would be enough to give the warriors an edge in a close game. Warriors don’t have the size to stop AD. We’ll have to see how the big fella plays today but him and bron will BOTH need a big game to take out the defending champs. Both of them tend to get gassed and stop their aggression near the end of the 3rd. We know Curry and Lebron are going to show up. This game comes down to who gets more help from their partner and role players. Going to be a fun one for sure! Let’s go Warriors!
He is very knowledgeable but you can’t help but tell his bias for the Lakers 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
Great analysis, where I disagree tho is on “the Lakers have these dudes locked up”. I don’t think that’s accurate, what’s happening is Steph and Klay are missing wide open 3s or slightly contested that they make all the time and they just aren’t falling.
Wiggins is hurt
warriors in seven. ur wrong
Even though my pick is warriors in 7, I'm rooting for the Lakers so hard to prove me wrong. I'm restless AF rn. 😰
Just have Kevon Looney inadvertently elbow Davis in the face again. It’s not a foul if you just make sure not to look at him as you do it.
this man talks too much on simple matters
The game plan from the warriors perspective will be the same , pull AD out to the perimeter and then have a 3 on 2 in the paint with Draymond rolling ….. 80% of the time the warriors are gonna score on these possessions …
Also i don't believe the Lakers mailed it in …. AD is involved and required to run on every defensive possession as well as contributing on offensive possessions which means he will tire in the 2nd half … Lebron can't drive to the basket like before and DLo is finding it difficult vs GP2 …. the refs are no calling Schroder's and Reeves' flops anymore, so where is the offense going to come from ??
Love you breakdowns bro. Such wonderful insight. I’m also a guitar player and huge Star Wars fan so love all you put out there my guy
But as a lakers fan, hoping Wiggins ribs are too painful & HE DOESN’T PLAY!!!
If the refs let them play the warriors will win but if the refs decide to give the lakers 30+ freethrows then the lakers win its as simple as that
Your Laker fandom made you come off goofy with the Looney talk… Especially after what LeBron did to Wiggins. You're better when you're impartial.
Did any body hear about the wiggins injury?
Sadly we won’t
If steph win this i wanna hear the goat noises coming out the locker room straight up
Coin flip. Lakers at home. Neither team at full strength or playing up to potential. Winner gets a 5 game butt kicking from Denver.
Alright. Jason picked the Lakers. Sure win for the Dubs like last year.
Like clockwork.
