- Explain: Steph Curry and Warriors steal Game 4 in Boston
by EricApricot
The Warriors stole NBA Finals Game 4 with a thrilling comeback in the 4th quarter of 2022.06.10. Stephen Curry led the way with composure in the face of shifting defenses and great shot making. The other Warriors fought hard on defense and rebounding and did all the dirty work that adds up to a victory. Co-starring Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole. With Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams and Derrick White.

You are the first person I’ve seen mention the “method acting” and shameless flopping that the Celtics do.
5 minutes into your recap you won my subscription, look forward to seeing more of your content big man.
Not to mention phenomenal basketball analysis.
This is really a great channel. Im also glad I found it. Ive been subscribed for about two weeks now!
Watch out for the celebration audits too. Priceless!
Lol, "Uneasy lies the head of the FLOPPER" -ShakespApricot
Steph really CARRIED the Warriors the last 4 games offensively. But HUGE PROPS to Wiggins for being Warriors 2nd Best Player. He's the only one that I have been seeing CONSISTENTLY trying his hardest to help. Hustling, rebounding, defense and everything else Steph needed 👏👏👏
Poole has had some glimpses and moments, especially that 3rd Quarter in Game 2. Klay had 25pts in Game 3. But let's be honest, they've both been streaky.
And don't get me started on Draymond, defensively he's been somewhat present but the rest, he's just being emotional. He should reserve that podcast for AFTER the Finals 🙄🙄
If I were to rank the Warriors top 3 based on the last 4 games:
1) Stephen Curry
2) Andrew Wiggins
3) Kevon Looney
This series heck this playoffs would have been easier if they keep Mcgee on warriors roster... They needed a guy that can fill in minutes for rim protection and lob threat...
Scarlet Snow, he, really, should. He needs to keep his mind on the game, for now.
The issue with draymond his defense was good this game but no offensive threat, he should be more aggressive on the offensive side to allow more room for curry and Klay now Celtics can double team curry and double team klay pretty much
Looney is going to be crucial these next games playing against Robert Williams! He needs to keep winning the rebound game against him.
Wiggins has been the 2nd best player for the Warriors this entire playoffs. 2nd most consistent too on both ends of the court.
Salute to Andrew Wiggins.
I knew Steph was about to kill this game when I saw his demonic smile at the end of game 3. He was like "Aight bet. I'm the greatest shooter of all time. Y'all must've forgot"
Nothing about Steph is demonic
@@pr1mu Mans was on demon time wdym
No demonic smile, just awareness his inner will shine better. Sadness over incest unjustly committed on young people while they sleep. Hot him down , the shootings, etc . That the look that says I think I got away, just wait. Just wait. I'm coming to get you. No demon in Steph. Demons in men who abuse children or even their own children. Those are the demons. Period
You think you got away, that is.

💀 It’s these little jabs that makes this channel unique.
I love Wiggins, the unheralded rock who pulled 15 boards and kept the Dubs in the game so they could win it. Great finish by Steph, too. Now each team has stolen a road game, returning home court advantage to the good guys! Saturday morning EOP means that it's a good weekend. Better than Saturday morning cartoons in the day, amirite?
They need to treat game 5 as win or go home game... Home court is not really an advantage with green struggling to shoot wide open 3s and mid ranger the entire series.

Game 5 is a must win.
We must come out aggressive early on, throw in Kuminga and Moody to wear down Brown and Tatum.
Win Game 5 and the title is ours.
@@provax4925 Green has been a waste this series. Next season, start developing Kuminga for his role, give him more playing time over Green.
@@provax4925 Good point!! A game 5 victory at home would really put a choke hold on Boston as I feel the pressure would get to them and they will fold at home. Also I would bring Draymond off the bench and start Kamimga. People forget how well he played when Draymond was out plus he would give them more size and better offense
Thanks for calling out the Celtics flops. They’ve been selling it all throughout the finals.
Wiggins is the type of player you would want to play with. He's a hustle guy, does everything to win, very unselfish, very good decision making, no locker room dramas. Does not blame. Take responsibilities.
Im really suprised by his decision making. Somethung you would never say before. He was a dumb player. Huge evolution
Nope. Been watching kat and wigs since timberwolves. Kat was dumb, too self entitled and self evolved . Wigs was too soft to keep up with the physicality that makes seems bad decision making
@@theunboxinggod7531 maybe that right. He sure was soft. Not anymore though
The pistachio at the end tho 🤣🤣🤣
Does not like PIS tachios
Pistachios are creeps that slither into their own children pants and hundreds of women and men. Get on the team that matters man
I’m glad someone highlighted how much the Celtics have been FLOPPING! It’s really sad and terrible for the game. The refs have been suckered into many fouls but hopefully that changes.
they flop they hold they grab they flop again.
@@rhlang11 I been screaming this they flop constantly but then they hold the warriors every play and the dubs ain't getting calls its ridiculous
The Celts can't complain. The refs did everything they could to help the home team.
the refs have been terrible. Lots of missed calls both ways. Not calling blatant fouls but then calling soft touch fouls. Also, Marcus Smart gets away with so much holding and grabbing
@@Djturnt Celtics get away w a lot. Every play they are grabbing someone but they have made an art form of it. That's why they are in the Finals in part because their team D holds and grabs like no other team in the NBA. Yeah, Jaylen and Tatum are very good but their holding is outstanding and without peer.
Go dubs! 2 to go! Steph Curry masterclass performance!
warriors vs refs. There were so many unfair fouls called on the warriors when it was meant for the boston, absolutely horrible refs but glad we have chef curry and supports from Klay and wiggins
The Celtics flopping somehow got even worse these last two games. You can tell they discuss it within their locker room, we’re at home in the finals they have to give us these calls, fall down every play everywhere.
they are lead by one of the worst floppers the game has ever seen and the only one to be rewarded with a DPOY for doing it
thank you so much for including defensive analysis. Huge part of the playoffs but few commentators cover it.
Thank you for covering this!! I know Dray got put on blast with his performance overall but the last 2 minutes was big play for Draymond. I thought I was only thought it was a major turning point but I'm glad it was shown here too.
The push by Dray after the almost call but glad no call tangle with Marcus Smart to collapse the defense and getting Curry open was big. Then the ball movement 4 on 3 to Wiggins to finally a bucket by Looney was huge. That last offensive rebound by Dray was huge imo
he made at least 3 huge plays that helped secure the win. Game was wide open when he came back
Wiggins has been the most positive consistency
I’m a big fan of these breakdown videos. The background music is like RPG music lol 😄
Hope he continues to shoot 3s like these in 5 and 6 with Klay,Poole and Wiggins.
I’m glad that Grant Williams is not a factor in this series. They have a solid 5 floppers. Smart, Tatum, Brown, White, and G Williams.
The refs should study Brown a lot more. He keeps on bulldozing the screener then flops but still gets a lot of those calls.
I guess Udoka really teaches his team to flop more. Just like what he said against the Bucks.
7 games no Middleton either….thats low
Eric Apricot you're the best. Great analytics at least for my pea brain. You're far superior than "Lets Go"Warriors" . His channel, he can't wait to censor you for even saying Draymond is afraid of getting jeered when he misses so he'd rather pass. You're sense of humor is great. Have a pistachio on me !
another solid but entertaining take, thank u for highlighting the flops, greetings from the Philippines!
I love your play highlights and break downs...good job sir it helps me with my small amount of free time to go over game plays for my boys klay steph and wiggs...i am so happy andrew was able to join steph...he was always pretty good imo...
Looney surprised me going right up also, thought for sure he would pump fake and take a dribble before going up
Warriors seemed to figure out that mid range and floaters are best moves against rob Williams
It’s amazing to watch the best offensive player (Curry) vs defensive player of the year
Dub nation for LIFE ❤️🤞🏾
“best supporting actor” XD great win dubs!! Just two more to go!
Came here to learn about basketball, left with a lesson in pistachios as well.
Keep up the great content!
looney was a big factor too in order for wiggins to crash the boards now they've got almost 60 rebounds in this game. the adjustment from last game was phenomenal from being bullied on the glass to being a bully themselves on offensive boards.
WHY doesnt Steph get the calls? He is a super duper star. Anyway, WIggs played big time. GP is cool under pressure. Klay is getting close and Poole is looking stronger and smarter. Loon is Loon. Celtics drive and kick - contain the drive they lose.
Klay missed some wide open shots tho hope preforms well next game so Steph can take over in game 6 to take it home
Dude you are hilarious. Keep up the good work. I love watching your clips.
This series is really nerve wracking! Series is now tied at 2-2, hope Warriors get the next 2 wins and be this season's Champs!
BTW, what can you say about Kerr's strategy during the 4th quarter on the defense / offense and Dray was sat out during portion of the 4th?
sit draymond for a bit and remind him to keep his head in the game
nerve wrecking.
It worked. And no one's complaining. They regularly take Dray out a few minutes into the fourth quarter -- usually they've built up a good lead in the third, so they can take him out for a rest and have him ready for the final minutes. They didn't have that lead this time, but they were square and doing OK, so it was better to give him his regular rest. And then when the subs did well, they kept Dray on the bench to save him even longer, give him more rest and keep him from picking up unnecessary fouls.
If you look at Dray's own comments, he said he didn't care, didn't need to be "talked to" by Kerr or anybody. Yes, he said he was pissed at being taken out, but probably more at himself than anyone for his lackluster play up til then, but that his teammates helped him keep his head in the game, and that's why he played well when he came back -- a couple of tough rebounds and a fine assist to Loon inside.
Dray has a huge ego when he's on the court. You kind of need that to compete at this level. When he's off the court, not so much. Either way, he's all about the team.
this aged well
Oh damn! So hard to be the first one!
2-2 with that poetic performance by 43-30 Steph
And monster Wiggs!
That’s DOPE!
Always DUB NATION for life💪👍🏾🙏🏾
I asked for 2021 Steph to appear and he delivered. 40 piece
I just want to say I woke up this morning with a long list of things to do and I did all of them happily because I knew I was coming home to watch this funny ass video. 🤗
Not a theft! A WIN🏆🏀
I was surprised at how effective bjelica was in limited minutes, especially on defense. Kerr should mix him into the lineup a little more. The Celtics were pretty thrown off.
Sorry bro no. Everytime bjelicia comes in he miss a wide open shot or have a stupid turnover. Dlee also. I rather see jta or the rooks.
@@tonytrinh3850 jta is a turnover machine and will get bullied on defense also…. They put a vet in for a reason
@@tonytrinh3850 I think they haven't played the lineups they put with him much thus the turnovers but what he brings to the table is rather positive for the warriors when looney needs rest as the spacing is still a little better when he's on the court and he's doing rather decent job on defense. The Celtics are just too good when he's on the court but he's a reliable player to put when you want to rest some of your players.
Dunno about DLee or JTA since I haven't seen much positive stuff from them in the playoffs. Also not sure about Kuminga but I wanna see them play Moody. Moody seems pretty dependable and I've been hoping he'll be subbed in along with Bjelica.
@@foreverfive0525 i say moody and kuminga.. they gotta get their hands dirty. Kobes airballs come to mind. I also think both our rookies has a better 3pt shot than bjelicia
Jalen Brown also willgo down everytime he runs a pick.... The refs always fall for it.
You guys have the best breakdowns. Make me love this game and the Warriors even more. Great job!
You sound like you're getting over a cold Eric. Feel better. Glad you are still able to produce these recaps. I need my fix.
Games like this are what separates the Warriors from every other NBA team... Everything can go against you... and you still end up winning
I mean they do have Steph curry one of the greatest of all time
Yup, yup, yup. Gotta have your own back #1, bc you know truth and what unjustice
Marcus Smart must be training Derek White in how to flop.
What a game this was
Would have loved to see some GP2 analysis.
I feel like Kerr really wants to play Kuminga but the trust is not there yet
Yeah!!! I was thinking that too. You know if he plays him, it’s going to either go really good, like he’ll get a quick 12 points in 15 minutes. Or it will go really bad, like he’ll throw the ball out of bounds
wiggins not being in the fmvp ladder is criminal
In this series, there should be one name on the ladder: Steph Curry. Whoever is 2nd, 3rd, and whatever, those guys are no in the same category as Curry, who is easily the best player in this series.
Great videos! Always enjoy your commentary. Keep up the great work!
Thank You for the insight... a lot of stuff not seen while watching the game.
I don't have the expertise, the nuanced understanding to breakdown basketball like you do, I greatly appreciate your knowledge. As a Warriors fan, I don't miss their games so your attention to detail explains what I see organically. In professional sports there are 2 absolutes, 1) the other team is trying to win also and they've put in the work to succeed. The Warriors understand this better than most, watch how they don't over-react to opponents success. 2) Fundamentals usually win out especially in close games. Bobby Knight wrote a book I read years ago, the thing I took from it the most is that you don't play against the opponent, you play against and with the principles of the game. Talking heads talk about Curry is playing for Finals MVP. NO AND NO, he is playing to win. Talking heads talk about Draymond underperforming during this series, NO AND NO, he is playing to win. Steve Kerr has had the great fortune to play for Popovich and Phil Jackson, worked with D'Antoni in Phoenix and spent years as a commentator. He is uniquely qualified and gifted as coach of the Warriors to incorporate his knowledge and communicate his understanding. Things like "feed the hot hand", "apply force" and "play to our strengths" has fueled this Warriors run. All these things combined makes Warrior Basketball "The Beautiful Game". Sports fans, basketball fans, Warriors fans - appreciate this now because it won't last forever. Bulls reign, Laker's Showtime, Spurs Big 3, Larry Bird Era, Bad Boys -- all a memory, eventually this will be, too.
Waited for this all night went to bed 😥
I think it is time for some Turkish pistachios. This was one of the best finals games the DUBS ever played, especially Steph.
Please do a “Finals Most Flopping Player” FMFP award! 🤣🤣🤣
🙏🏽thank youuu for this long video today! Epic
I never fail to laugh at these basketball commentaries!
Excellent descriptions. Warriors had to pull the big guns for this win. 💥💙💛
Curry took care of business & AW stepped up
If the Dubs win this series Curry is the big MVP
New sub alert! love your breakdown ❤️🤞🏾
Damn this details!!! Hands up to you bro
I am enjoying your videos so much :) absolutely great
pistachio on curry is a good mix i suppose cause it made 30 pumped up XD
GREAT ANALYSIS
People are too much concerned with Dray's podcast. Might be giving away strategies. Like I said before. Really love your videos but this breakdowns provides more info to opposing teams than the podcast.
Imo they have some equally talented people on the celtics staff watching the tape alongside the coach and the players
Great breakdown video.
those method acting though hahah
🙏🙏🙏 thank you 🙏 you are doing a great job analyzing and breaking down almost every important detail into plays formulating , and giving a very informative description of what’s taking place on and off the ball 🏀 please do a analysis or play by play on the 2016 finals , in games ; games where the cavaliers caught momentum and blew a hole into the warriors strategies, and what the refs were seeing , and the warriors having to play thru. What the refs were seeing 🤷🏻♂️ where the cavs were allowed to play as physical as they wanted , and the warriors were getting called for every pity pat foul , and how Steph gotten into foul trouble for one of the first times all season and In the post season , in what seem to be one of the worst called finals in finals history, up there with the 2001 lakers Sacramento series that was suspect af , , but anyhow great 👍 work , can’t wait for more content from this channel thx 🙏 again
This video is so good.
IMO, Kerr did the right thing keeping podcast green on the bench for most of the 4th qt
yeah they won so it was a good decision. as far as draymond being podcast Green, you just sound like a hater
@@pahuboi23
I'm not being a hater bruh
But he gets paid to play bball, have you seen his stats in the finals
He obviously can't do that podcast and play ball
wacking WIlliams with his belly button 🤣 help! Btw, you sound a bit nasal, hope it's just allergy. Go Dubs!
You sir have earned a new subscriber
do you have the flu Eric? get well soon and let's go Warriors!
Steph is unbelievable👑👨🍳🔥
Pistachios? OK. That's what was said. LOL
Pistachio is a nut. Steph is no crazy.
*best supporting actor*, lol
"Maximum violation of personal boundaries." a new defense term for basketball...nice.
Here for the Sword of Damocles.
That's some good info on the pistachios
Celtics deserve as oscar. nominees are smart,white and tatum
Great Video🔥🔥🔥Would love to have seen a breakdown of game 3
My fave moment: SHUTTING DOWN THE CROWD!
Let's hope "bam bam pistachio" is in Kimmel's list of secret words for Steph to slide into inverviews
Win or lose you have to give the Cells & there HC props
If they don't have any injuries next year they may make the finals again
"uneasy lies the head of the flopper" - classic
I always look forward to your lip reading takes lmao
Been waiting for this 😁
"pistachhioss" threw me off 😭
top shelf BadLipReading there at the end....pistachio...sword of Damocles lit reference A+
Will this game be remembered as the Pistachio Game? Or maybe just the Celtics Flop Game. But probably not; the Celtics have been flopping all year. There were some questionable referee calls in this game, but it's nice that they didn't call every flop as a foul.
Flopping or no, Boston is scary. My thesis that the Eastern Conference is still trash has been blown; it will take a herculean effort to get past these guys, and a lot of skill, and probably luck. It could go either way, folks.
But man, we're seeing some great b-ball action. This might be the best series we've seen in a dog's age.
What can we say about Steph Curry that hasn't already been said? He's not a top 75 player of all time. He's not a top 10 player of all time. He's right up there with Kareem, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James at their peaks. At 34 years old! And doing it against one of the most elite defensive teams the league has ever seen. These Celtics are no pushovers.
I dunno who will win, in the end, but I'm loving every minute of these games, and I feel like gushing praise for Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins for their massive contributions, without which even Curry's transcendental greatness wouldn't be enough. The other Warriors have contributed, too - it's always a team effort, but Looney and Wiggins have been standouts.
The Shining Twins do get around, don't they? They want to be best friends with Steph forever and ever. Funny how an innocuous image like that can contain such menace... and that's why the metaphor works so well, these Celtics are indeed menacing.
Thanks, Eric, both for your explanations and your humor. Much appreciated!
It’s been a while since the Finals but I still want a BAM BAM PISTACHIO tshirt
Lmao at the Celtics frantic performance Dubs in 6!!!
It's been a long while, Boston...
Long and hard didst thou fight.
Tarnished Warriors.
Spurned by the grace of gold.
Be assured, the Finals Ring
resteth close at hand.
Alas, I am returned.
To be granted audience once more.
Upon my name as Stephen Curry,
The first Baby faced assassin!
Love your voice~
@ 10:45 smart tried his hardest to get a offensive foul my hooking his foot with looney
What a game bruh.... 🔥
Draymond green needs to work on his shot. he has 2 of the best shooters. He should be taking classes from them. He should be able to give you at least 10 ppg. Specially with all the attention that steph and klay get. Otherwise I hope Kerr keeps subbing him out in the 4 to get some points in from someone else.
Keep on saying it every season especially when he dips so low on the shot, but sadly its gonna be hard for him at this age now to change some of his mechanics at this point.
His podcast is more important
BAY AREA!!!!!!
I LOVED the dance move of Steph against Smart who fell from ball handling ( dance moves) by Steph. He did this moves against LeBron James too.
Letss gooooo
Bam! Bam! Pistachio!
How the hell did Turkish and Iranian pistachio's get into this delicious review Eric? lol
Warriors didn't steal game 4.. Curry snatched it
