    My crazy conspiracy theory is that this is Warriors analytics. Team Defense is mostly effort and energy. In a way to provide some sort of "load management" through out the long regular season, the players are unofficially allowed to take it easy on defense for road games. Analytics probably showed that they'd still have a great chance at making the playoffs, catching up any needed additional wins by around March.

    One under talked about thing is how little games the Warriors played on the road with their three veterans all on the court. Their road record with Draymond, Steph and Klay all playing is probably closer to 7 - 10. Still not a good record but not historically bad. Klay didn't play any back to back games before around the all star break and Steph has only played around fifty games this year. All three rest on back to back often, which never happens at home.

    @matty7106 Рік тому +15

    Great analysis. Definitely brought some useful insight into their problems. I find they also have issues with point of attack defense. They just get beat one on one too easily. With Donte it’s because he’s pressuring elite ball handlers too closely. With everyone else, it seems like they cheat a step in help and can’t recover when it’s swung to their man. That starts a cascade of help, ball swinging, and ultimately a good shot for their opponents. When the Dubs are really locked in, they help but know exactly how far they are from their assignments, so they never leave enough space that they can’t recover and contest the 3 while also containing against the drive. Not sure why they can’t muster that same focus as they do at home, but I think the tiny bit of extra space they leave gets used well by their opponents outside of Chase Center, but feels more like a bad shot at Chase so they shoot it and make it less. My two cents.

    @Devastish Рік тому +9

    Here's my thoughts on the "why":
    There Warriors tend to play pretty small. Other than Looney, they don't have any traditional bigs.
    The obvious game plan against a smaller team is to take it inside and go for offensive rebounds.
    Once they get dunked on a few times, they start overhelping to prevent easy buckets.
    Additionally, the lack of a big shot blocker means that if the other team can beat the first defender, they have a relatively easy shot at the goal. A big center standing in the lane can be a strong deterrent, and does not have to over help because they are big and athletic. However, the smaller players that the Warriors field do not have that advantage, and need to do more. So they overplay the help.

    • @jamaaldagreatest2748
      @jamaaldagreatest2748 Рік тому +1

      I’d say a good number of analysts do talk about it but I’d also agree with saying more people could stand to talk about it. Because there’s often times where a players numbers will significantly improve in a contract year before regressing back to their average numbers or even worse after. Like Julius Randle for instance in the season before he signed his max deal, and then regressed the next season (though to be fair his numbers are back up this season and he’s doing well.) Another aspect of what you’re talking about though is the players who turned down a smaller contract and bet on themselves to take that next step forward and evolve for a bigger contract but then end up getting significantly injured, and either have to settle for an even LOWER contract or who’s careers are ruined/ never the same again

    • @pinobluevogel6458
      @pinobluevogel6458 Рік тому

      While we see it happen often, I wonder if it is more a perception issue (where we focus on it and it starts to stand out) or an actual change in play or effort. I would say most, (possibly nearly all) players in the NBA love playing basketball and would not all of a sudden stop having interest or lose their drive to compete. If players are a bit lazy (on defense for example), it shows in their games throughout the whole of their career, not just when they get a bag. We just didn't notice it as much, at least that is my theory.
      As an example: Duncan Robinson, who is an excellent offensive threat with insane movement shooting, never had any chops for defending (not for lack of effort), so after he got his bag he didn't all of a sudden defend better than before. I'm pretty sure he is working on it, he might even have improved, but since he barely sees play, we don't know.

      @jamaaldagreatest2748 Рік тому

      @@pinobluevogel6458 No it’s definitely a thing and it is noticeable in major stat changes. You’ll notice that certain players’ effort and production will decrease once they get a massive contract. It doesn’t happen all the time and a lot of players are just fine and still continue to produce, but some see how insanely massive their new checks are and just stop trying as hard, whether that be in practice or on the court. Not everybody has that drive to be great at a sport purely for the love of the sport. A lot of players are driven by greed and the promise of a better life for themselves and their families. I’d say it is a little more frequent in basketball though however, due to the fact that their checks are fully guaranteed.

    I liked that you mention the over help of the warriors because it’s such a fundamental flaw in how they play.
    it’s not just DiVincenzo too, so many drives have like 4 defenders close on them when you don’t even need more than 1 coming off the weak side rotation?? not to mention that they do it even when the main defender hasn’t been blown by and is still containing the drive.
    this could even add to the attempts at the rim, as the defense is then scrambling to close out on the shooters and can easily be blown by if the offense is smart enough.

    Good analysis coach.
    Personally I think, from what I've seen from the Warriors at home and on the road it's all about energy.
    So I'm curious how much difference there is between allowed drives at home and on the road, and the same with allowed painted touches at home an on the road.
    What I see is GSW players are being driven by more on the road than at home, and that's just an energy and focus point.
    And If the first line of defense gets beaten, than that slingshots the rest; paint touches and thus/or a corner 3-pointer, like you highlighted.
    For the big 3 it doesn't matter if they play at home or on the road.
    But for the role players, like DiVincenzo and especially Poole and Kuminga, I see a difference between home and road.
    What I find fascinating is that the big 3 can't help their teammates enough, from a mentally standpoint, to just give the same energy on the road as they give at home.
    Especially since the Warriors have been a great road team in the PO's the last decade.

    Hi Coach Nick - I wanted to get your thoughts on the Warriors' strange "at the rim" stats. Someone pointed out on Twitter that ALL of the Warriors "at the rim" stats at home are skewed - not just this year, but all years. A shot "at the rim" at another team's arena does NOT count as "at the rim" at Chase. As a result, the Warriors appear to have an extremely stingy rim defense at home.
    This year is all wonky because of the vast difference between home and away performance. But even last year, when they were solid most of the year, their home rim defense was MUCH stronger than their away rim defense. Until someone pointed out, and even confirmed by the NBA Stats page if I remember right, the huge discrepancy.
    Do you happen to have any info about that issue? I can try to find the Twitter link if necessary, I remember reading all about it late last season when people pointed out the Warriors' great rim defense stats at home.

    I think it’s because of team chemistry or lack thereof. I mean when you’re playing at home you’re surrounded with friends and family who ground you but when you go away you’re travelling with your team you’re sharing hotels with your team and you don’t have your family to ground you from all the toxic chemistry that has been building over this season.
    It’s obviously a psychological issue not a lack off talent or skill issue.

      @@dontkillme5332 that is a dumb argument for so many reasons:

      2: some players from 2015 warriors are no longer with the warriors today, and some players today aren’t with the 2015 warriors. It ain’t the exact team.
      3: conflict can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime for any reason that can temporarily or permanently affect team chemistry. Draymond punching Poole wasn’t a positive moment. Veterans are less patient with young players cuz there time is running out like the way poole has been so inconsistent all season.
      My point is comparing a team today and seven years ago is stupid even if you had the exact same players because people change some friendships get stronger overtime and some get more dysfunctional overtime. And being away from your home away from your family your kids and being forced to be stuck with your team while on the road just my amplified disfunction. Chemistry and psychology might be the reason they’re dysfunctional on the road.
      But saying that “no they’re not dysfunctional Because look how good they were seven years ago” is the stupidest argument in the world.

      We know why, we just had players playing in bubbles in every sport. What did we see? We saw the technicians come to the forefront, MMA, NFL, NBA, Euro soccer, if you were a skill guy you played at the same or higher level. Home or away, no difference, as the gambling community demonstrated repeatedly. But the guys who ride the crowd? The Westbrooks, and LeBron in particular, remember how unhappy he was about the bubble? Home crowds make you better, road crowds don't make you worse. It's not symmetrical.
      Keep in mind that this is only the W's second year ( ?) in Frisco, so this aint Oracle anymore. Totally different fan demographic, like opposite really. But the lift is still there, and they need it, because they also clearly have lost a step.

      @@chiggsytube absolutely right. Home teams usually have advantage cuz of the crowd, but away teams shouldn’t play consistently shitty when they are usually good.
      the problem can’t be lack of defensive talent or skills because they are very good at home. So the only option is psychological, That’s why I personally I think it’s team chemistry. Because when you’re on your away games you only have the team to be there for you, when you’re at home you have your family your friends your kids etc... and I think that’s how you can determine whether a team has good chemistry or bad chemistry on how well they play at away games. Hopefully they can get over whatever is wrong with them before the playoffs. I know I’m excited for the playoffs.

Overall, the competition is much better than last year so as good as the Warriors have been over the years, this year will probably be the Warriors toughest path to a championship.

      GS had bench problems at the start of the season their starters were kicking ass every single time.

    Off-season was full of bad decisions. They let go of smart 2-way players in favor of a 1-dimensional, inefficient, defensive liability.

This is a season that NEEDS to end poorly so that they can look at what they were doing wrong. Success would mean that they might get buried into these bad habits.

    Also, besides Draymond, Wiggins and GP2, and actually Steph (a little), the rest of the players don't get into the space of the defender, it's like they are programmed not to touch the offensive player at all. I'm not sure if it's because they don't play aggressive defense, or the refs are so harsh on fouls and only favor some players so they overcompensate. When an offensive player KNOWs you aren't going to touch him, his FG% goes up a lot. When the player knows you will get into his space to make it uncomfortable, his FG% goes down, even if you don't get the block or steal.
