Hey, remember when you said Warriors in 5?
Some love for one of the BEST PLAYERS EVER! (and human). Not everything is "strength in numbers".
Kerr dumb for not playing Looney or Kuminga
STEVEO!!!
He's always been a player with much more impact than his pedestrian box office numbers convey. It is so nice to see him featured in a video about an important game 6 of a playoff series. The Warriors are almost in the same predicament as the Lakers were vs Rudy in their final game. They had no size to be able to box out Adams, but also .. Since I went back to watch this game specifically after seeing this video drop, if you watch Adams closely, you see that he often takes out a central defender by screening them out, to open up a clear driving lane to the basket for easy paint points.
This has been a staple of Adams' value on the Grizzlies and on the Pelicans too, when he was there for a year. Zion had his best paint efficiency when Adams was his teammate and he was a big part of that. You can see him completely take out Quinten Post on several occasions, as well as Draymond Green, who tends to put up a bit more of a fight against him. He just stands across from his man, being completely unmovable and in rare situations even using one of his bankscrew like hands to hold someone in place. (which is a foul, but the refs often can't see that)
Besides being ridiculously strong and a great rebounder, people also forget that Adams has good court vision and passing, so his value extends to more than just being a bully around the basket and a good defender. You can see him hit open shooters quite often, but on occasion he's been known to hit cross court passes with quarterback precision as well. That is a lot of value for a secondary big on a reasonably affordable contract.
Thanks Coach Nick, for showing off a player that is a bit more of an unknown to fans and featuring a player that you wouldn't at first expect to be as important to a game (or a series).
Draymond has to be able to make shots, SIMPLE. They’re ignoring him for something he’s DEFINITELY capable of. It’s like 5v4 out there
This analysis is incredible dude.
Improbable? They were 2nd in the Western Conference!
Great to see Steven Adams get the love for all the dirty work!
I think its always a 2-3 that adjusts to box and 1 with the man near Stpehen Curry
Nick, I think Ime has done a good job at improving the team positional offense (it was really poor). I'm not sure if Hield starts the 7th game.
Why are you talking like Kermit the Frog? What? Yours a tough guy? 😅😂And pls see a psychiatrist… paranoid… why would anyone need to carry a gun? Cowardice? Know any gun and 2nd Amendment assholes who used their guns for the express purpose and right granted them by the 2nd Amendment. THAT would be (bc I highly doubt you are intelligent or honest enough to admit it…) TO PREVENT SOME ASSHOLE FROM FRAUDULENTLY LYING ABOUT FAKE ELECTION FRAUD – AND ATTACKING OUR DEMOCRACY AS HAPPENED BY MAGA FILTH on Jan 6th..
since curry enter the leauge its the first time i saw a box and 1 and a 1 1 3 zone to defend this shooter and its worked
i dont get it why this team ever became a champion nba is lmao
7:14 look at him he carring the ball its a TO but who cares we sell shirts nba is a fu…. joke
I say Vanvleet with his over all play is why Houston is here in game 7.. his 3 point shooting has been great!!
The big Tongan/Kiwi is one of the toughest guys to ever play in the NBA, two of his sisters are Olympic gold medalists and World Champions in the shot put.
Can the Warriors just sign this guy so that he could never play against us? – signed, Warriors fan
Udoka basically tried to do what 2016 Thunder do to againts Spurs when Billy Donovan played both Steven Adams and Kanter at the same time that made huge difference in the series, the difference is Kerr countered it better and failed. He didn't even used it in this Game 7 that much.
Game 6 was legendary because of him! The momentum totally shifted — absolute game-changer.
Is this the future of defense in the NBA? Zone to man, man to zone. Disguised Cover 2. Cover 0 biltz.
What you have to say now
Adam’s impact has absolutely no importance now. Warriors move on to 2nd round ✌️
This ONE man flipped the script in Game 6 — you won’t believe how he took control when it mattered most! If you're a real hoops fan, this breakdown is a must-watch. Check it out and let me know if you think he’s the real MVP of the series! Don’t forget to subscribe for more NBA playoff heat!
steven adam is cool no haters.
A video showing Adam’s some love? This is awesome.
