On a must win Game 2 at home, the Warriors blew out the Lakers in the second half led by a game high 30 points from Klay Thompson. I want to break down a key recipe that was successful in Game 1, which was guards coming off handoff actions to take advantage of a dropping Anthony Davis, so let’s break this down.

I like how this is going. 😀
That's what i like about the warriors. The defense can not only focus on Stephen Curry.
2:53 This is nuts. No dip before the shot.
The 2nd and 3rd shot by Thompson looked like a travel in slow motion is it not? After his last dribble he took 5 steps.. well nba nowadays 5 steps is just a gather right?
A big adjustment is also not having 2 non-shooters on the floor. With both Loon and Dray, AD can be higher on those on-ball Dray screens because Loon's man is just camping on the paint to prevent easy drives.
With 4 shooters on the dubs, AD can't be too high or else it's a layup or dunk because all other Lakers have to guard the perimeter. But if he drops, they get torched on 3s.
It's going to be real hard for the Lakers to win if they don't get the favorable treatment from the refs they've been getting since the LeTantrum. They went from an average of +3 FTA per game vs opponents to an average of +10 FTA per game since Jan 29th. Game 2 they didn't get that favorable treatment, though that's not the reason they lost. We'll see if they get it again going forward.
Bro The quality of your audio is pristine 👊🏿👊🏿 sending greeting from 🇰🇪
which site is showing that Klay shoots 41% from all these shot locations?
I love how in a series they continue to improve, best coaching staff in the league.
JaMychal Green has inherited the Andre Iguodala role. The original small ball line up is back. JMG fulfilled the role of Andre and Wiggs fulfilled the role of Barnes. It's the same frickin team composition just with different players. I love that Steve made this line up possible
Awesome analysis. Go Dubs!
AD stays in the box, he doesnt come out that often even was exposed during game 2 by JMG.
And he is tired and wont last against GSW being guarded by 3 different matchup.
Kerr doesn't get enough credit for his tactical adjustments.
1v1 me. Loser has to wear opponents jersey of choice for a week straight
Thanks for this.
Switch is the magic, with AD outside everybody can challenge the paint
I like Klay, he is my favourite Warrior but 01:10 shows what's wrong with today's NBA. Count the step fellows, with that much dancing allowed everyone can be a dribble master. And it's a league problem more than players because they are not calling it.
Please make a video of how many wide open shots Thompson missed in games, 3,4,5, and 6.
