Cavs At Warriors Game 7: The Third Quarter Runs 

Those JR 3s were huge

When he said J.R. shoots better with a defender in his face, I lost it. lol! It's so true!

"warriors in 5"..."warriors in 6"... "warriors in 7"... "we at least got the 73-9 record" Looooooool these Warriors fans are too much 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Watching Kyrie finishing at the rim is like watching a master artist drawing his masterpiece. Such a beautiful thing to watch.

Curry was exposed as a one dimensional 3 point bomber in the OKC and cavs series

lol you know coach nick is salty af he didn't want too see lebron get his 3rd ring

Hopefully all the bandwagons are gone LMFAOOO 73 wins don't mean shit without a ring

didnt you say lebron was declining after game 2?

Lebron forced his way onto Mount Rushmore by doing well timed teabagging. Boggle the mind .

Ball movement is overrated imo. At the end of the day it's about putting the ball in the basket. You criticized three of the final four teams' offences (TOR,CLE, OKC) for being stagnant but your favourite team's ball movement was shut down and the team whose stars performed ended up winning.

Still can't believe the Cavs did it.

Honestly, the first half was fools gold...Green, single handedly kept the Cavs out of the game. I knew that the beginning was most important and between lackluster MVP play and terrible rotations by Kerr, cost them the championship.

I knew the only way the cavs would win if kyrie stepped up and lebron scored 40 every game. Boi they actually did it wow. The cavs probably watched bballbreakdown lol.

Screw ESPN and all those other sports critics and give this guy a watch if you really want to know what happens in NBA Games. Great Video.

Lemme ask coach. You still think Kawhi surpassed LeBron?

coach nick what happend to your curry elite defense? plz explain lol

Ball-movement is important. But a big reason for ball-movement is to manipulate matchups. If all it takes to manipulate matchups for CLE is to screen with Curry's man to force a switch onto LeBron and Kyrie, why shouldn't they do that?

still waiting on that curry choke video

Coach Nick. My Assessment. I think the tangible explanation here is simple. The Warriors are x's and o's, while Cleveland is ISO and star power. Needless to say GS defense is a well oiled MACHINE while Cleveland favors "get your man." However, that's just it. I think the reason the officiating was inconsistent is because they didn't understand the dynamic from game to game. One game it's streetball, the next it's orchestrated. While I can understand your frustration as a coach having to watch with cringe-worthy anxiety as Cleveland's players became spectators to a 1 on 1 duel, that is essentially the way they were brought up playing the game. It's why they LOVE it. It's not easy on the eyes, but it can create a passion that courses through your veins if you were given the same exposure to the game. That is a fundamental that cannot be taught. One that Draymond Green feeds from and allows him to excel in the moment. He is fortunate enough to play under the craftsmanship of Coach Kerr and excel in that offense, but that mentality is still prominent. Altgiugh it may have been displeasing from a schematics stand point, Cleveland Deserved this win and rightfully so. Forgive me for calling you biased. However, I too come from that cloth. It's not easy, but the desire to win will beat x's & o's on any day. Michael and Phil knew this as well. LeBron represents this cloth with dignity and deserves respect. That's all. -A Spectator

the arrogance of steve kerr is gone

I dont even want to watch this

the only shot barnes hit all series that was of importance

Cavs wins ! I'm still stunned. An unbelievable ending for an epic "king's journey". Congrats to the Cavs from France. And thanks again coach, for bkdwn videos.

before I watch this , if you gave lebron credit for defeating the best regular season team ever I will subscribe and respect you for ever

Coach you should make a (Why Steph Curry still can't play well in the FInals video) or How Curry chocked or something he has to be pointed out we can't let that slid he was awful this whole series..I mean you did with Westbrook a few years back.

game 7's in the finals are hard to analyze...both teams are tired and scared especially in the second half....there is a reason teams dont get 100...its so intense ...every shot they waste clock over dribble and try not to make mistakes or foul.... we have now seen 6 since 1988 and every time both teams are nervous in the 4th....the only team that looked like they didnt give a crud what happened was miami in 2013....they went out shooting jumpers passing it around like normal thy just had half their roster not make any shots like bosh and ray allen who they relied on...they were the only confident offense I have seen in the 4th...every other team plays scared and tired cause all these games are close...remember how scared la and boston played in 2010 houston and new york in 94 what the hell was that?...warriors choked period didnt score for the final 4 minutes at home...in a 4 minute stretch where cleveland didnt score either ...damn! they stopped going to the rim period...too many jumpers nervous and klaya nd curry 31 lebron kyrie 53....thats all that needs to be said ...but green had 31 love only had 9 so it was 63 62 in terms of big 3's lol....finally cavs role players outscored the warriors role players in oakland by 5 ....

Coach Nick breaking it down!

I give JR Smith HUGE CREDIT - At 46-54 I felt like the game was running away from Cleveland, I almost stopped watching thinking it was going to be a blowout as their offense was very stagnant. JR hit a jumper then back to back treys to bring them within 2 until Kyrie tied the game up. That was HUGE and he might have saved the season from those 2 shots alone.

That pass by Draymond was pretty awesome not gonna lie

5:27 draymond almost doing his signature kick

And coach can you tell me why the f curry shot those last 2 three pointers when they couldve got easy 2 points then foul and try force OT

Better RESPEK his name coach for now on. Yes!!! This was the best game 7 of all time. Not the best series, but certainly the best comeback story of all time so far...

The Cleveland Chemotherapy finally cleaned the league of cancer. You're welcome. With love, From Cleveland

your breakdown videos make me love basketball even more !! thanks and great content coach !!

Thanks for all the break downs this season. It increased my IQ for the game and made me watch the player movement off the ball.

My heart was jumping that whole 3rd Qtr.

7:14 bron using the dirk fade away. crazy this dude has a photographic memory, just remembering his opponents moves and tendencies

All I can say is "poor varejao!" the guy spent all his career chasing a ring with Lebron but then when he finally had a chance at it with the Warriors, it was Lebron who denied him. Tears bro thats what you get for flopping.

My friend here is telling me non-stop that if the warriors had Bogut, they could've won it. Could you make a video on whether Bogut could've changed the game favoring the Warriors or having Bogut wasn't going to change anything.

This might be a long shot trying to get an answer, but could you make a video about the Pacers or more specifically, Paul George, and their/his future? Thank you for constantly posting amazing basketball videos!

i love ur vids, i legit watch all of them

2:28 I don't think it was a travel... he got the ball off before his foot touched the ground if you looked again.

waching these videos, i feels like the warriors almost controlled their destiny,, but just didn't execute. Especially near the last ~5 minutes of the game where they had numerous chances to take the lead and didn't capitalize on the Cavs mistakes/misses

rip warrior bandwagons 2016

laxative caused the third quarter runs. Can you talk about Kerr's coaching criminality this series? thanks coach

how was that kyrie layup on draymond a foul on draymond

The title sounds like something that would happen when you eat a bad Hot dog at Oracle Arena.

Coach, in this series, do you think the Cavs defense was the cause of Curry's not so MVP play, or was it himself from earlier injuries or what not?

Good work coach!!! I love your channel!

I still can't believe the Warriors lost.

4th Q ??? Its 1130pm now

Cavs have the best finishers in the league

At 3:12 that turnover is on Varejao. He should stay over by the lane line on the other side. If he comes over, Love can defend two players at once. Pass was not perfect, but where else is Curry gonna pass it for him to catch that ball?!

I think if the Cavs weren’t try to force feed Lebron for the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and let Mr 4th quarter do his thing the Cavs would of won by 8-10 points, instead of setting so many picks for Lebron they should have picked for Kyrie but finally did with a min left and he made Curry cry in his car and his house 😳

Coach I remembered you were criticizing Jeff Green on doing the same hand/leg layup few years ago. What's the difference between his and Kyrie's "incredible finish"?

Coach Nick and Everyone Else, What did you think about the absence of Andrew Bogut. Would it have made a difference? GSW I felt was left with ultimately no rim protection against the Kyrie and LeBron drives to the basket.

I didn't know what happened to the Warriors. All of a sudden they just decided to switch off every pick and roll which was exactly what the Cavs wanted to exploit the Curry-Lebron matchup. Bad coaching by Kerr. Harrison Barnes was struggling. Why the hell is he making a most of the shots towards the end of game? They didn't even try to get Klay, Curry and the Draymond Green some shots. It was mostly Iguodala and Barnes chucking up one three after the other. At the end of the day, I am still not impressed with the Cavs offense. Mainly simple pick and rolls, isolations. Warriors simply gave up on defense.

Curry's defense was exposed without Bogut to help on defense.

I had some third quarter runs too, way too much chili

"One of the plays of the game" at 4:40 is, if anything, an offensive foul. 'C'mon, Coach, how can you not notice this?

still think curry is an elite defender?

I never saw a player get posterized by a *LAYUP*. Twice.

with the double ball screen and curry forces LeBron to stop, LeBron also travels by switching pivot feet lol

last time I was this early, the warriors were up 3-1

Why is the opposite foot lay up so good

"Varejao just seems to be out of place often when he is on the court..." lol

Still can't believe the Seahawks didn't run the ball

Coach, could you make a video about what adjustments both teams made during the finals (if it's worth it)? Also, were you surprised how Lebron was barely attempting any jumpshot despite the defense repeatedly giving him enough room? I know it's not his strong suit and the pressure doesn't get any higher than in Game 7, but his jumper was working in G5 and 6.

Hey Coach Nick, sports fans here

Coach do a Lakers Road to 82-0 video.

Next video should discuss how Lebron's block on Iguodala is the single most epic moment in Cleveland sports history.

What will you do now that the NBA ended

i hope u guys take this to heart. your breakdowns are so robotic its hard to watch its good content but way to rigid look at the old grantland.com breakdowns. that's what we want. i wouldnt be sending this to you if i didnt think you guys were worthwhile

That 3rd quarter looks like Warriors couldn't make a shot and were making multiple mistakes. While Cleveland was making some shots and sitting back waiting for gsw to make the mistakes.

Why didn't the seahawks just run the ball

Coach why was the block by James in the final 2 minutes not a goal tend? I thought u could not pin the ball against the glass?

coach what time is it on your side, cause its like 10 pm over where i live

2:55 that Varejao flop

Can you put how they got Kyrie to iso on Curry so much

Coach do you think the warriors and cavs will meet each other again in next seasons finals

Spurs 2017 champs

6:27 -- the absolute dumbest camera work ever conceived of. Zoom into the ball while it's airborne so you can't see the arc, nor any of the surrounding action. Brilliant.

woo kyrie was incredible

Coach how do feel about varejao 's flopping

Also I wonder if the tight back kept Iquadola from slamming that home? And how did losing Bogut hurt the Warriors?

Finals series! Gsw live and die on 3s and Cavs live and die on isolation play .. Now who win lolz

The refs and the league worked in unison to ensure that the Cavs win. It's been obvious since Draymond Green was retroactively given a technical foul by the league when the refs on site ruled it as a common foul. Game 7 though... only 1 freethrow between Curry and Thompson? That's is about 1/9 the usual rate (considering that between the two of them, they made 36 fg attempts). Only 13 ft for GS... to the Cav's 25? 23 fouls on Golden State to the Cavs 15 (even though the Cavs foul more on average, not only in general, but also in matchups against GS). The refs were calling fouls on GS, and they were all fruitful. They either ended in freethrows, or took away rebounds from GS. Game 7 was SUPER rigged... and rigged well too. Nobody seems to think it was because the game was close throughout... but it was a crime against basketball.

where's Kyrie's set point Coach Nick?

this is an open shot, but he proves, he's a choker too! is what you meant

Lol at these haters bandwagoning to Cavs. Enjoy those losers. It's the same ones that think Cavs have 3 rings. Warriors are still young and they blew this series. Curry played like trash along with Klay. But they still have a future and if they can get someone to play SF the way they intended, they are still contenders. Although no matter what they do at this point, this will always haunt them. Losing a 3-1 series with 73 wins is gonna sting. A 3peat probably won't heal that. Still can't believe the Cavs have a title.

lol you said JR shoots better when contested, then pointed out about klay slipping and leaving him open. So wich one is it?

Still not sure how we won this game and series lol

Oh god post finals comments are cancerous. I wonder what a lot of these people thought of LeBron when he lost those Finals series in Miami. Not that LeBron isn't great it's just that so many idiots play down the guys the teams that lost.

Can't really tell if Lebron landed before he got the pass off.

Seriously though I seem to remember that bballbreakdown vid about steph and it said be agressive on defense with him ,force him to switch onto your best scorer, and get him in foul trouble to break his rhythm. ✔ ✔ ✔?

I definitely think Lebron deserved the MVP, but there just doesn't seem to be enough talk about how well Kyrie played. Can we just agree that Kyrie played some of the best basketball the last 4 games of this series?

@ 2:54 Varejao's flopping is beyond annoying.

I'm jus here for the comments about Steph's "elite" defense............ His defense REALLY HELPED......................... The Cavs win the series LMFAOOOOO #ChokeJob

Fourth quarter breakdown later today! Hmm what does today even mean?

live by the 3 die by the 3
