Ah Orange Lakers will have some crazy passing this year though. Will be fun to see how that team shakes out! For now though, GS is by far the more interesting (and tougher) matchup for Boston. It remains to be seen if anyone in the East can get close.
as a warriors fan I'm truly amazed when watching Kyrie in slow-mo. we can see how creative, fluid and complex his moves are: 1) jab-step 2) fakes the pull up 3) spins his body 4) between the legs 5) fakes the right hand spin move 6) switches hand 7) spins to the righ with left hand 8) dribble to the left with right hand 9) steps back 10) fade away pull up JESUS 🤔
I don't believe that the Celtics will win the East.. I still think the Cavaliers will beat them in the playoffs.. But man, Curry vs Kyrie is way more entertaining than Durant vs LeBron in my opinion..!
That was a galactic display of resilience, intelligence and talent! No shenanigans, no flopping, just professionalism as one might rightfully expect from such extremely well paid artists. Not like the team with the "best player", that does not seem to respect the paying public and audiences all over the world. Best show in the season.
It was a great game. Celtics fan here and Kyrie brought such a beautiful style to watch every night. Curry must do the same for fans there. Great game. Almost pulled out with a win too.
Honestly it was quite alright to me. I have handles like Kyrie to be honest I think better. When you're out there mentally you just keep doing moves until you beat the defender and significantly create enough space for the jumper. What is impressive to me is the shot also I'm KDs face him being so much taller. But curry impresses me miss. Does allot less, keeps it simple. Greater advantage in that area. Trying to get to that level myself to be honest.
Keon Rice, haha. Honestly enough practice, Enough of losing until it breaks you to push yourself and be so good where no one can question it. Like MJ said, When your game does the talking for you. But honestly, Even though I don't know if you were playing or not but where I do get my confidence is from being so efficient on both ends of the floor. There's nothing that feels better then dominating a player on the defensive end. To let them know no matter what, no matter what. You'll be right there, Death stare blocking every shot. One of the beat feelings personally. In the world for me. Way better than taking ankles. But practice, Practice gives you all the confidence. Losing the worst way, in every aspect then getting back up stronger than ever, more determined, more passion, more drive, where in every moment your thinking about how you're going to get better and dominate. That's where the confidence comes from. But confidence is just the end result. Passion is what start's the fire. It's the foundation. Passion for what you love and being great at what you love. That's where the confidence comes from.
another tremendous video. Why can't ESPN figure out that this is the kind of intelligent x's and o's analysis combined with entertainment value that knowledgable viewers want?
Youstupid nah the double team comes in the 3rd quarter.. when kerr realize that kyrie is cooking..theres a diff between help defense and the double team..
Jay152014 there’s still 2 people trying to stop him.. help and double is the same thing when the person whose guarding Kyrie can’t guard him.. Nice try..
no one can guard Kyrie one on one and shut him down. Not even the elite wing defenders of GSW. Pat Bev, Avery Bradley etc. will till get cooked by Kyrie 8/10 times one on one
Youstupid no one in the world can contain Kyrie, Steph was no exception. You're right about that, but I was referring to plays like at 2:40. Steph was right there, great defense, but that Kyrie move was godly, man. How many players would have stopped that? Maybe Kawai?
But the best move of all was Coach Nick deciding not to insert an ad into this video. Don't get me wrong: his ads are great -- as clever and entertaining and effective as any killer crossover -- but it was absolutely the right move not to interrupt this beautiful video in any way. And every other choice was perfect, too: the music, the narration, the editing...everything.
Curry for MVP. Kyrie was great this game too. Can't wait to see this matchup in the finals And Currys IQ is just off the charts. His off Ball movement, able to read every possession in order to score is just elite
what makes curry 100x better than the likes of lebron, brickwood, and even harden is his off ball movement. its uncanny to have the best player in the league move so often off the ball. it makes the warriors so, so much better
@Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 not necessarily the playoffs but the Cavs, and thats because the Cavs double/triple Curry leaving Durant open. Before the Cavs series Curry was having the better playoffs quite easily, after the cavs series it's still close, as Durant had the better finals while Curry was better the first 3 rounds. The few years before Durant was on GSW he shot 46% and 43% from the field when he was the focal point of the offense, now Curry gets all the defensive attention allowing Durant to prosper where he shot 56% .
Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 you must only watch the finals. Curry has been more of a monster than Durant in the playoffs since 2013. Definitely arguable
Most epic game of the 2017-18 season--so far!!! I could watch repeats of this game over and over again!!! Finals preview, quite possibly! It's still too early to say, though. I pray for my beloved Dubs and the C's good health and come out on top in their respective Conference Finals! It would be sweet to see Kyrie and the Celtics in the Finals--instead of the Cavs--against Steph with the Warriors!!! We'll see. It's a bit of a way to go! I wish both teams great games all the way through the Play Offs!
If both these teams made the final it's sad to say GS would easily win, probably in 5 games. Without Hayward, Kyrie would have to play like this every game just for Boston to have a chance. Meanwhile if Curry didn't perform, KD, Klay or Draymond would step up.
Yo Mammas Boo you're the dumb one. not only is westbrick not a player but the guy is saying the two "travel" more than he does as in the illegal action.
John Lewis you cannot be serious..... Been watching NBA for the past 15 years, but never saw someone messing with the mouth guard in the middle of a pick and roll, I know about the shots.
Kyrie is better in defense than Steph esp. 1 vs 1. Steph struggled during game 1 of 2015 Finals and the 2016 Finals because Kyrie was always guarding him and Steph can't guard him the same way.
@@jdapaul1351 No way Curry is better off ball defensively and when Kyrie is locked in, he does play solid defense but in 2015, Curry had one of his better games of that series agaisnt Kyrie and in 2016 it was more about Curry not being even 90 percent and LeBron flying around on defense because he didn't have to guard Barnes who was missing everything
Brad Stevens is probably the best coach ever honestly. His roster last year was horrible and they were the #1 seed. Now he's finally got an okay team and they're easily #1. With Hayward they might be able to challenge the Warriors. No chance without him though.
They've sure made it work, but more is not always better. There are gonna be some problems and will take more time with building chemistry when he comes back. Nevertheless, it'll great when he does make his return.
travz21 I already watched this video and want to re watch but we didn't have smart this game so with or without Hayward we can beat this warriors teams it's very close
Flawless singing at 2:35
Lmao, thx

Coach nick recently just found out about pop music lmao
A casual gallop-hesitation-off foot-quick release-soft off the glass-lay-up over Kevin Durant.

Indeed pretty fundamental, bordering basic I would say.

Cavs are old. They aren’t winning shit.
Benjamin Franklin your fat ass is old
gmeletis678 nah lebron ain’t going to the finals even if My C’s can’t stop them they can’t beat Toronto
yikes
Jose Cardenas Im only responding to this so you can see the time you made the comment about how the Cavs can't beat Toronto.
this is the type of quality content i subscribed for.
facts!
Exactly
that switch hand spin from kyrie for the fade was too nasty
That was a galactic display of resilience, intelligence and talent! No shenanigans, no flopping, just professionalism as one might rightfully expect from such extremely well paid artists.

👍👍🏀🏀💪💪
Watching the highlights of the game is fun, watching the highlights + your analysis is still more fun!
these two are really exciting to watch, especially against eachother
I think Kyrie and Steph are the best point guards in the NBA right now
This was definitely one of my favorite videos from you. Good work coach!
Curry is the best shooter the NBA has ever seen hands down no biases
Juan Lemus yup
Kyrie Irving
Have you ever heard the name of Larry Bird
@@keyboardmaster3594 Larry Bird is not even close to Stephen curry when it comes to shooting
Scott Lawrence steph shoots better than kyrie
It was a great game. Celtics fan here and Kyrie brought such a beautiful style to watch every night. Curry must do the same for fans there. Great game. Almost pulled out with a win too.
I watched this game and i still remember it like it was yesterday , one of the best matches ever
Got recommended this throwback during finals haha crazy how things ended up for Kyrie compared to curry since this.
2:50 that's one of the greatest moves I've ever seen..
Honestly it was quite alright to me. I have handles like Kyrie to be honest I think better.

Tempo Deadeye I wanna be as confident as you one day dude lmaooo
Michael Jordan that’s why he’s the best dribbler of all time and yes better than A.I.
Ultimate gamer assassin I’d give the edge to AI.

Imagine you have to guard Steph at 7:08.
Yea no one is gonna forget this duel
Kyrie Irving is not threatened by Kevin Durant's help defense 😂😂😂
Curry deserve Every penny he gets.... Agree?
Curry guarded Kyrie more than I thought he would and he did a pretty good job.Kyrie was just too unbelievable. What a game!
Orlando 28 u smoking Kyrie was getting doubled because curry couldn’t contain him
Youstupid nah the double team comes in the 3rd quarter.. when kerr realize that kyrie is cooking..theres a diff between help defense and the double team..

This would be a much better series (at this point) than Cavs vs Warriors.
menehune1025 they match up with the warriors too
Especially if Hayward returns.
Great video, new music! Well put together and insightful! Nice one Nick! Im in!!!
One of the rare instances where the game was so good even coach Nick's analysis doesn't do it justice...
Coach this video has to be in your top 5. It was perfect in every single way. It had a great sound track, great analysis and NO SEAT GEEK ADS.
Haha, thanks!! Strap yourself in because Seat Geek is coming back in 2018!!
NBA players must have nightmares about guarding Steph Curry sprinting around screens more than 25 minutes per game.
Lander Hendrickx the freakin 30 footer three's doesn't help either 😂
Lander Hendrickx it’s like Reggie Miller on steroids with a handle
Kyrie dont need no screens boy one lets go one on one that bitch who rely on screens is fucked
Kim Lacuata you're stupid stop watching basketball
Kim Lacuata seek help
@2:39 was a hella smooth move.
I want this finals match up to happen so bad
Coach, I love the videos but the music is killing me 😂
Why not? Those dudes were dance dance dancing... 🎶🎵
Okay, I’ll use Frank Ocean for you next time
BBALLBREAKDOWN DJ/Coach Nicks' gonna drop the beats now! 🎶
Thank you Coach, yes this year finals going to be awesome, should be going into 7 games
no
Jerico Muñoz will be warriors cavs again, warriors in 5.
Curry & kyrie >>> westbrick

Damian Lillard > Westbrick
Butter Johnson fat W
Irfan diff playstyle, Curry a shooter, Kyrie a ball handler, Westbrook a dunker, also i just found out Westbrook and Curry have the same height
I hope, we see this finals matchup..... just Legendary
I love the cringe moments because you do them on purpose 😂😂😂
the word cringe is used way too much for him
lol
Nigga I’m going to dominate u
he doubled
oops I replied to the wrong comment
I like the music coach. Keep it up.
👍🏀
Great vid as always! Just disappointed in not seeing a smooth ad placement
But the Celtics got fleeced for the Kyrie deal... right... right...
Glad I was able to witness it. Matchup is a treat.
Curry’s defence is underrated
His defence is ok but that quick hands of his makes it underrated
Kyrie's defense is underrated
He has great Defensive IQ but his frame handicaps him
fr
Curry for MVP. Kyrie was great this game too. Can't wait to see this matchup in the finals
And Currys IQ is just off the charts. His off Ball movement, able to read every possession in order to score is just elite
Stephtastic! No just no
Curry woulda won more Mvps without KD , although i feel like he would deserve it, it should be harden this year hes been "snubbed" too many times lol
O BP well that's how you get assists...you need players
that was a duel I hope we see again the Finals!!
Hey coach can you make a video on IT’s struggles on the cavs and comparing that to the unique sets coach Stevens ran for IT
Great video coach I think the soundtracks that you have are so much better than the music you play though.
Please Please Please let this be the finals
this IS BASKETBALL
One of the best games this seasons.
man, super well produced video.. props
what makes curry 100x better than the likes of lebron, brickwood, and even harden is his off ball movement. its uncanny to have the best player in the league move so often off the ball. it makes the warriors so, so much better

He's not better than Bron
Brickwood? U mean wesbrook 😂?
Great job coach👍this had the feel of a great sports movie. Respect to both teams
It's crazy how Steph is playing better than he did in 2016. Only difference is he isn't currently averaging 30 but he's close
Pound-For-Pound he's averaging 28
Because KD is on the team
Best dual of the season.
4:33 evidence that your videos are not only educational (with all the analysis) but entertaining as well. love it, coach!
All that point guard cooking is making me hungry for some playoff finals soup
Great editing in this one !
with the exception of KD Ballin this is THE BEST BBall I've seen all year

I’ve seen Kylie drop 20, 30, and 40, but he’s so entertaining that 20 and 40 can feel the same.
Well said. It seems like all of his baskets are highlight plays
I love your editing style!
These are two teams that are working hard and are driven to get to the finals. Cavs should take notes
I love that this is a tribute video. Well deserved and a great video.
This was basketball at its finest!
Anyone else think the music was so random that they paused the video to see if it was playing on another app 😂
stephen curry MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP 30.3 PPG 53 FG 46 3pt 88 FT last 21 games
Love the pop song integrations recently

Alex Rodrigues Exactly
Keep up the good work I'm loving the videos
Finals Preview
- Cavs fan
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this match up. I love the breakdown it was almost as good as that game was.
Never thought I'd say this but Celtics Vs warriors might be a more *fun* matchup for finals
George Paul facts because the warriors gonna blow out the cavs old ass roster.
Of course, cavs basketball is trash and uninspired. Celtics however have a top 3 coach and they play great basketball
I love the music "I've got this feeling in my body!!!"
Coach you said Curry leads the league in distance traveled.. but you're wrong cuz Lebron and Westbrook travel more! lool
Tae Kim you're dumb as fuck. Neither LeBron or Westbrick move half as much as Curry off ball.
Yo Mammas Boo *Whoosh*
Yo Mammas Boo you're the dumb one. not only is westbrick not a player but the guy is saying the two "travel" more than he does as in the illegal action.
Yo Mammas Boo TYPICAL BANDWAGON, DOESN'T KNOW BASKETBALL
actually antetokounmpo does lol but they dont call it
Best Duel in 2017-2018 season.
if the celtics get anthony davis it would be such an insane series he always goes off on the warriors
The NBA Finals 2018 Preview this June! Warriors vs Celtics
1 of your best vids ever!
Wow, thx!
Was he putting the mouth guars back into his mouth in the middle of the action at 6:02 ?????????
Incredible !
Boki Juda that mouth guard is another part of Curry lol. He has it like halfway in his mouth on tons of shots all game

Curry is better off ball defensively and when Kyrie is locked in, he does play solid defense but in 2015, Curry had one of his better games of that series agaisnt Kyrie and in 2016 it was more about Curry not being even 90 percent and LeBron flying around on defense because he didn't have to guard Barnes who was missing everything
Best guards in nba, different type of playing but both are awesome to watch
I have so much respect for LeBron's game and where he stands in NBA history but I would LOVE to see 7 games of Boston/GS.
