Hello everybody the Warriors pull out a big comeback win in Chicago you may have noticed that clay loves working with Trace Jackson Davis the rookie have I mentioned I have an irrational good feeling about him I love this one play that they keep on running with the two

Of them and Cory Joseph this play turns into a stagger screen for clay Cory Joseph sets Okay screens for a small guy and that gives clay a little bit of space from Alex Caruso and then just in case that doesn’t do it then we’ve got this second screen off the dribble

Handoff make it harder for Caruso Andre Drummond is set to contain over here which gives clay a lot of space bang the next halfcourt play these three guys are trying to figure out what play they want to run Cory Jose points clay to line up over there clay agrees and it’s going to

Be this mirror version of the last play we saw trying to organize this in real time there’s 13 seconds seconds left on the clock clay points to trace saying you got to stand over here and be this second screen for me so Trace gets it okay mirror version Cory Joseph setting

The screen Clay Cross the Stagger screen dribble handoff I think Drummond is stepped up a little bit farther here to come contest Clay’s three-pointer so there is an adjustment there Trace immediately rolls clay has gotten good at throwing these soft passes to trace and now look at these Wide Open Spaces

Though sunmo really with a pretty fast rotation here even if he did somehow absolutely Stone Trace here psky is completely open in the corner but you know he’s just too small ornie this play begins with the sort of horns formation but it ends up being pretty similar Cory

Joseph first screen clay coming to get the dribble hand off stagger screen across the top each time the big creeps closer and closer to the three-point line Trace with the quick roll clay with the Quick Pass Patrick Williams with the instant rotation whenever you get this situation of two

Guys next to each other and one Defender this is an automatic action and I’m super glad that kamanga notices it he’s going to set this pin in screen so the defender can’t help on psky who pops out and Trace Jackson Davis on the roll sees that someone is well positioned to

Contest so he’s going to make the right read right on time J K getting solid contact on the screen psky just misses this wide open three but good shot created Cory Joseph is playing his role very well here you know he’s not the dynamic scorer but here he’s got his

Hand out settle down we’re going to run a play and he looks at Steve CT this is the oldfashioned role of the point guard and I cannot quite make out what the play call is I think Steve CT is twirling his finger around if someone can do some forensics here you can

Figure out exactly what the hand signal is for this play jov’s probably figured it out already and because it’s the mirror version Clay is going to point to trace like Hey we’re doing again except you stay over there and Cory Joseph reading Clay’s signal as well and just

In case people didn’t get it second time ball goes over here Alex Caruso is an excellent Defender and since Clay is signaling in the visible spectrum and with human audible frequencies kurusa says you know what I don’t have to go along with this I know you want to have

This same stagger screen again across the top I’m going to cut this off and I’m just going to stop you from taking the screens at all and so clay says okay well I don’t have to play your game either and he immediately cuts to the basket and I love how quickly Trace

Reads the situation first of all he notices that Clay is back cutting but then he also reads Chicago’s defense this guy is the only chance Chicago has of stopping clay from getting a layup here and when he rotates over play dead right no that means kaminga is open in

The corner and Trace sees this immediately and let’s see how fast he reads this ZIP quick read Quick Pass right on target to kaminga very open shot and kaminga might have gotten a lucky bounce here but this was a great shot created I can’t resist talking

About one more play this is my favorite Andrew Wiggins play of the whole year no one knows publicly what’s happening with Wiggins it doesn’t seem to be a physical issue so whatever burdens are weighing him down it’s just caused his Focus to Crater this year to the point where it’s

Taken for granted that the Warriors are trying to trade him but this game he was locked in so Steph is faded to miss the shot but instead of Wiggins just running back down Court this ball is tapped out and Wiggins uses his athleticism to just outrace everyone to the ball and okay

You could make maybe fault the court Vision because if you want to know where the right play is you usually look at Steph Curry and Steph Curry’s pointing at an utterly open Klay Thompson who was on fire that quarter but I prefer to focus on wiggins’s aggression instead of

Standing around passive he just drives in and then throws in this delicious Euro Step and that euro is so delicious you can see everyone on the bench here starting to imitate his Euro Step Jerome Robinson has a particularly Vivid version of it with the high Euro Step

Keeping the ball high Draymond does the low version of the Euro Step Which is less practical on the basketball court but still appreciated because your Draymond is still finishing his low version of the eurom mime my favorite part of this whole thing is Jonathan kaminga he’s carrying some kind of hot

Pack or cold pack for his left arm but that doesn’t stop him from also doing the eurom mime Wiggins and kaminga have been in direct competition this year there’s open talk that one of them has to be traded and open talk that you can’t play them both at the same time on

The court but whether that’s true or not I love that kaminga still trying to lift up his brother and not only with the eurom mime but getting right up in his face and encouraging him and maybe even throwing in some French curse Words
