That Ad transition was 👌

Play against Miami 😂❤
This channel, thinking basketball, and coach daniel. My GOATs
so good! Also love Get Gooder at Basketball! UNDERATED atm
Coach Daniel been MIA lately
@@nbryan512 he came back like MJ a few months ago
@@jihadijohn9408thought he was hired by mavericks some time ago
Bballbreakdown as well for me
Had someone telling me Jokiç is a "iso ball player".
Discussing Jokiç has become a basketball IQ test and a LOT of haters are failing that test
Lmao anyone who says that takes not knowing ball to whole new levels, that's crazy
Seriously? Bro is the head of one of the most beautiful offenses ever. I mean he'll obviously iso at times but staying in the offense is number one to him
Jokic is most definitely not an isoball player. He makes a lot of assists, but the most underrated part of his skillset is his movement without the ball; he makes a lot of cuts around the half court. He’s not the high usage ballstopper casuals think he is.
Basically all of ESPN’s panel muppets fail this test…JJ Reddick the exception
@@DunningKrugerJnr Tim Legler also knows ball, he's good
Watching Joker constantly run point is crazy.
Watching him constantly run it successfully is priceless.
A Spurs fan but I loved how Jokic plays the game. He’s a point center and he’s playing old school basketball with a blend of new school. I don’t see anyone stopping him in the Finals. The beauty of his game is he doesn’t rely on athleticism to play. Jokic basketball IQ is off the charts on the offense side. Good luck to the Nuggets.
AND on the defensive side, as AD learned.
Funny thing is that this Nuggets team is in a way like the 2000's Spurs. Close knit, plays great team ball, zero egos all around and very very underrated.
The Nuggets have showed the league just how important drafting and player development can be. If Nuggets win it alll....
This team could single handedly end an Era of the "Super Teams". The league needa wake up to what the nuggets are doing and have done since putting this team together. The long term success will speak volumes.
I like that at 1:20 Jokic looks at Brown like you better see the cutting lane that I saw.
I'm new to the NBA and the Nuggets by far are my favorite team. They seem like the most balanced and well-rounded team so far. Also, I know everyone loves to talk about Jokic and Jamal, and rightfully so, but I feel like very little attention is given to Aaron Gordon. He's my favorite player in their team, the man is a walking highlight reel! Those dunks are so saucy!
Absolutely dope Nuggets are earning new fans, they deserve it with the most beautiful basketball on Earth.
I knew watching that Laker series their fan base was gonna explode. Watching Jamal average 50/40/90 was a thing of beauty.
Oh my God basketball doesn't get prettier than that.
I’ve been a nuggets fan since 08 and it’s lit that we’re getting new fans like you, this franchise has always been looked over for the bigger market teams but respect for you joining the nuggets crew
gotta love denver for how coordinated they play in both side of the court too, their defensive rotation are so smooth and those off ball cuts are so well timed too
I've had my eyes on the Nuggets since 2018-19 when they made their first playoffs under the Jokic-Murray duo. They always had a pretty offense, but it's their defense now that has gotten them to this point
@@ja4309 People keep saying that Jokic is a bad defender but the guy has quick soft hands. Yeah he’s not going to get you crazy blocks but his IQ puts him in certain positions to disrupt the play just enough to cause a bad pass or shot.
I watched Shaq and Kobe's three peat, Jokic and Murray's duo, is as dominant in today's NBA as Shaq and Kobe back in the day, even if you think Jokic is less than Shaq and Murray is not close to Kobe, doesn't matter, others cannot stop them and that's dominance. Watching nuggets game it feels like very single offense possession can produce a good shot, that's rare.
not many 'empty posessions' or sloppy basketball by the Nuggets.
The inverted pick and roll they run causes so much chaos to the defense. Go and watch some videos on their pick and roll and watch how many times not only are the cutters open but how often they have someone sitting wide open for 3. Barton had good chemistry with Jokic then Jamal stepped up into that role. I think when Jamal went down the last few seasons this gave AG more opportunities to build that chemistry with Jokic. Now you have this cyclone of picks that come from anywhere and the defense thinks they have the read but forget they have MPJ and KCP sniping beyond the ARC.
@@sserrano49 Once Jokic and Murray three-peat then you can start making comparisons
while Jokic and Murray probably is not as telented Shaq and Kobe individually.
They got way more chemistry and teamwork between them...
Shaq had to abandon Orlando and run to a team that buys championships, I have no respect for such titles.
I think the next phase for Luka to grow as a player is How to play faster like Joker Joker play at his own pace but he always looks to push when he got rebounds or even made basket
That idea is so essential to a dynamite offense just like Kings GSW Pacers they all do the same thing and it’s not coincidence.
Fast break is undeniable the most efficient way to score Attack when the defense is not set is much easier.He has to learn how to give up the ball a little bit
Learn how to empower his teammates instead of make them into a standstill shooter.
I hope he can recognize the way he is playing right now not gonna win him a championship.He is a hell of player but he has to adjust at some point.
True, luka looks like harden gameplay. So beautiful yet so paintful
I love Luka but alot of his passes at least by comparison to Jokers are last second passes after he's committed himself. He does have some great passes otherwise but not nearly the volume that Joker has that are anticipatory. Jokic creates offense for teammates in situations that don't even seem possible until he throws the pass successfully.
@@MichaelTiopan Yeah I think he has so much better clutch gene but they do share a lot similarity.Hope he can keep evolving he is too good to not win chip.
I agree, and Luka will progress for sure. Dallas like this is a bad environment for him.
@@rickyisme1230 dude luka too good to not win champion but he complain a lot. Last player i see that is either lebron or cp3. Hope he can at least using lebron as example. Not complain too much until get the ring first
I'm a forever Piston fan, but the Nuggets is my 2nd favorite team. I'm hoping they'll get the trophy this year.
Celtics and heat really trying hard to be the nuggets sacrificial lamb
Shut up
If you don't love Nugget ball than you dont love ball period. Especially with all the glitz and glamor of LA and Jamal averages 50/40/90 and dropping a 50 bomb on their head WITHOUT a SINGLE free throw attempt!
Basketball does not get more beautiful than that. Especially contrasting that against the free throw reliant Lakers offense.
I know they earned thousands of new fans that series. If you dont love Nuggets ball you just gotta admit you dont love basketball. You either love the pagaentry and celebrity or laundry but definitely not basketball if you can't appreciate the Nuggets.
If I know anything about the internet and media though after getting all this new love the hate wave won't be far behind. Wonder what those narratives will be.
That 50 point zero freethrow game was a regular season game. Still beautiful, though.
They're moving the ball like '14 Spurs and that's a thing of beauty.
All the casuals are being exposed.. finally acknowledging the nuggets greatness
The comment about attacking space is spot on. Denver also relieves pressure to space but is never stagnant after relieving that pressure. They all simply continue to flow. Five blacktop ballers could take everything you've shown here and never get run off the court. It's just really simple basketball with easy decision making the natural outcome of what they are doing. Spacing and then playing two or three man games in the middle of the floor is all that's really needed at any level.
Denver defeated the number 1 defense Lakers and the top offense Suns, and made it look easy. I don't see anyone from the East beating them 4 times.
I see the Celtics having a decent chance.
@@koiiev9413 in their dreams.
@@koiiev9413 except Nuggets would actually close out a 3-0 lead
None the less beating us at home. Thats been the x factor. We win the first 2 at home. We automatically have game 7 at home. That has been huge for us.
It's not enough. Nobody's going to beat Denver in 7 for the next few years. If they are healthy.
Excellent video. Just found this channel, excited to find more quality basketball content
7:33 remember after game 1 when every yt channel said the lakers would put rui on jokic and have ad roam? I was wondering if any channels would break down how the nuggets countered, and i like how coach pyper showed a couple ways here.
My favorite was the first example, because after passing jokic cuts towards ad, away from the player with the ball; that essentially takes out ad as the rim protector when gordon (ad’s matchup) drives.
I guessed beforehand that one of the ways the nuggets could punish ad for roaming was to have his offensive matchup set offball screens, so it was nice to see my prediction wasn’t too far off; seems the nuggets countered by skipping it to ad’s offensive matchup, then having him run a dho with the wing, which meant ad was now guarding someone who was a threat from 3, forcing him to close out and not roam.
Great analysis! I want alsoto point out the off-ball movement of the Nuggets. Always ready to set a flare or pin-in screen to keep the weak (or strong) side defense occupied. Always interesting the position of Gordon or Green. They put them above the break to put AD or KD outside the paint or on the strong side. If they are on the weak side and the defender is ignoring them, then you flow into a blind pig action to set a HOff for MPJ. Great job by the coaches.
Great breakdown!❤️
Great content
great vid learned a lot going into watching the finals
Smooth transition to the ad 😂
Easy subscribe. Great stuff
While today's NBA players hurry home to play games. Jokic is perfecting his craft, this guy has no other vices other than basketball
great analysis. Interesting how potent the transition offense is. Joker rebounds and beats his man down the floor-- even when his man is generally regarded as a better athlete. 2 months ago if you said Joker outrunning AD would key the transition offense many people would have balked. To be fair, part of this is due to AD's habit of falling to floor every single shot attempt or contested rebound. Joker gets the ball and GOES- with a 5 on 4 or 5 on 3 advantage.
man you don't get the views you deserve. You and Get Gooder at Basketball are my Favs all time. Both Relatively small this year, but both grown a lot. You guys both covered this to PERFECTION!
Will see about that
Adding to this, Jokic doesn't need a superteam to win a championship like Lebron or Curry.
Or Shaq who ran to L.A. to buy some rings.
Nice thoughts! Don't know if I agree with all your comments about having an "easy finish." they set themselves up well but Murray is a great finisher.
Great stuff. looking forward to see how Jokic attacks the zone defense of Miami.
Nuggets offensive rating is the highest against zone def.
I love this joker-led DEN, but i really feel puzzled that whether they could beat splash bros (plus draymond) in their prime
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
Denver's offense is too fucking strong.
Always had been. It's their defense now though that has made them look unbeatable
11:32 Nennver Duggets?
Miami Heat: Coach coach, we don't know what to do, Denver does this thing where they throw the ball to each other and not just shoot 3's with no rebounding. We've never seen this before, is it legal???
Nuggets Playing With Some Great 2K Fundamentals
Jokic have a high iq
It can be center 3pointer pointguard hard grief of the ball good rebonder and fast passing he can see the opening in the court full package i hope the nuggets win the finals
as a nuggets fan i think a fully locked in, fully healthy celtics team is just as good as us.
Joker created the greatest offense in nba history
IMO the Only way to To "Stop" the Nuggets is Force Jokic to score by himself, and don't give him a Clear look at the Floor.
Jokic Can dominate without scoring, His ability to pass is his Dangerous Weapon, by Giving him hardtime to pass it will slow the Entire offense of Denver.
Murray not that great, just benefits from The Joker effect.
good vid man you know your stuff
Jokic is the real Point God
Joker playing two position simultaneously, point guard and center, add Murray and looks to me that Denver has it's big three after all 😅😅
They have a big 6. When 6 players are shooting 40%+ from the 3, it's hard not to call this a super team
@@cjswhitebo1882How is this a super team?
Funny because Denver wasn't even top 10 in team scoring for the season but are #2 in scoring for the playoffs.
*Minnesota Timberwolves would like to have a word with you*
1-0 Nuggets! It's started.
Look at the "fat and outta shape" guy outrun AD lol if Jokic can't jump over a phone book Stephen A can jump over a cheez-it.
Ha!
Nuggets in 5
LAST
It’s a team sport and this team makes NBA look a little like JV.
An average team...and a lot of luck + referees.
Mvp jokic
Dude stop showing Nuggets moves because M heat will copy Nuggets play games
Miami Can't copy that offense. Bam ain't a Great of an Offensive Player.
What baffles me is none of the teams try to stop the ball in transition defense. Jokic is slow stop giving him so much room to operate.
Jokic being slow is a myth. If you actually watched the games, the reason Denver's transition offense works is because Jokic leaves the opposing center in the dust as soon as he gets the rebound. This creates a lot of mismatches and open lanes or corners.
The fact that Jokic is a point guard that's matched up to a center is a mismatch itself
All I see is horrible defense
Cant see the Heat beat the Nuggets. Joker is so much better than Giannis and Embiid. His high iq alone makes him so much better than these 2. He may not be be defensive presence like the 2 but at least he is trying to defend averaging more than a block and steals in the play offs.
@StarOfDavid444 ring or no ring, just the eye test shows Jokic is much better than Giannis and Embiid. Only weakness is his defense but at least he is trying. He is actually averaging a block and a steal per game. But everything else, he better than this 2. All around game, passing, setting picks to teammates, 3 point shots, mid range as good as Embiid, facilitating, free throws and most of all, he doesnt panic when 2 to 3 defenders will come to him. He knows what to do with the ball. Thats the waterloo of Joel and Giannis. They panicked resulting to turnovers everytime they are double team, triple team.
