Explain: Steph Curry and Warriors record-setting 21-0 run to win the championship 

"When Draymond hits a 3 on you, it feels like a 6." - effn' EPIC. 🤣

Thank you for making a great season even greater. Look forward to every one of your "Explain"s 🍻

The part about GP2 "I believe you have my property" made me laugh out loud. People weren't kidding when they said even natural PG's are scared of dribbling in front of him. Jaylen and Tatums ball handling can sometimes be messy, doing that in front of GP2 is just asking for trouble. I feel like you could easily make a 5 minute compilation of GP2 swipping the ball away just this series alone, 8 steals this finals alone.

Just so you know, Eric. Its not normal for content creators to have this much support in the comments. I hope you know your service and videos are special. Im really looking forward to the retro breakdowns. Im sure they'll help your viewership alot, if not right away then for sure in time. More power to you man, and thanks again for a great year of education and belly laughs ❤️

You should do a video breakdown of every one of Klay's 11 dribbles from his 60 point game. No scoring, just his dribbles.

Eric, thanks for taking us along with you on a fantastic season and series. Um, since you asked: how about a Celebration Audit compilation, Coach Kerr’s best decisions compilation, and Klay’s greatest return moments. Oh, and a Shining Twins compilation since no one ever got fired for staying with Curry. Your content is top drawer. Can’t wait for more.

Followed you for the whole year and what a journey it has been! So glad I got to see some great celebrations from the team this year. I wouldn’t mind seeing some season highlights of the best plays and breakdowns if you’re willing to do it!

You're the best basketball analyst! The analysis, the video editing, the script, even the music, not to mention your voice .. everything nearly perfect. What a season! Thanks for the memories.

Thanks so much for an amazing season Eric. You were the icing on the cake for this Warrior die-hard.

I love those independent audits myself. Let’s take a moment to recognize that Wiggins defensive and offensive capabilities were definitely a tier1 asset. Pop smoke, helos on the way to take us home. Head to toe hood to go. Out!

Man I really hope you get a ring as well, you’ve made this season just as special for me as the team and I just wanted to show my appreciation, can’t wait for your videos next year LFG DUBNATION

Eric, man, what your content has supplemented to this historic season has been imperative to my understanding of how the game is played. I've become your student. Appreciate you. Thanks for laughs!!

What a ride ! Real ones knew we were winning it since Curry said "nobody wants to see us next year", my only worry was injury and Klay's health, turned out Wiggins was the surprise.

Amazing the impact of dray scoring 12 points as opposed to 2.

Take a bow Eric. Insightful expert analysis with the comedic twist (celebration breakdowns) all season long--I loved it!

"And when Draymond hits a 3 against you, it probably feels like he hit a 6!!!" LOL 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know which I'm more impressed by: Damion Lee giving us a physics lesson the direction of force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field; or Jordan Poole's research that leads him to hypothesize that it's "night-night time".

2021-22 Curry: Broke 3pt record, All-Star MVP, WCF MVP, FMVP, 4th Chip and last but not least, graduated Davidson college! What a year!

Your videos are a must see watch. I appreciate not having to watch after losses. I don’t even want to get out of bed when the dubs lose. They 100% help me understand what’s happening in real time on the court which is exhilarating. Maybe you could do some old Steve Kerr games? How did Steve earn his stripes as Michael said?

This has brought me so much joy. I started watching you from I did surgery and almost bust my stitches laughing. This has been a community for me through good and bad I am glad our team won! I hope this community grows. Congratulations on being great all year.

I am coming to this late because I was overwhelmed with work this AM - but am so thankful for Eric's EOP videos throughout the entire season. Let's celebrate our champion of the telestrator! Thank you, Eric!

Came for the analysis but stayed for the obscure (in both basketball and physics) left hand rule reference. 😆 I’ve learned so much from your videos and it helped me to enjoy this run even more. Would love to see a video documenting Wiggs development since joining the Warriors. He was so clutch through these playoffs.

I’m going to miss watching this remarkable run during the summer. Second most, I’m going to miss these Explained videos!

@EricApricot you make watching the game a better experience by sharing your insights and knowledge! Thank you for taking the time (HOURS) to reconstruct game video to evidence your observations! Could we request a series of Master’s Classes in the evolution of defenses played by championship teams? From man to man or one on one, zone, through the Triangle to the Box and 1, and ultimately the Switch D, (where you can explain how switching on D connects to the variety of offensive pick and rolls and screens)?

the cherry on top of every Warriors win and the ultimate championship - thanks for all your E1Ps!!

Great, I'll look forward to your summer content. Kudos! The turning point in this series was game 4 in Boston. Somebody on the Warriors staff noticed that neither Brown nor Tatum could finish efficiently if forced to go left. This defect wasn't Boston's only Achilles heel, but it was a big one. That decided the series right there. But Boston *did* have other vulnerabilities. One of them was the gap between the *popular* defensive player of the year (Smart) versus the *actual* best defender in the league (Green). In fact I would argue that the Warriors had *three* defenders who played better defense than Smart in the Finals - Green, Wiggins and GP2. The other Warriors weren't far behind - Steph played excellent defense, Klay is always a stout defender, Looney is as solid as you could hope, and everyone was committed and locked in. The Warriors out-defended Boston by a wide margin. This Finals should be an absolute embarrassment to DPOY voters. They didn't just get it wrong, they got it *horribly* wrong. It's my view that since 2015, not counting two bad years of Warriors injury and reconfiguration, the DPOY should have been Draymond Green every damn time. There are other good defenders, but nobody does everything as well as Draymond does - though he is mortal, and he did have some down games in the playoffs, but in the end he came through bigtime. His defensive ceiling is impossibly high. Though Wiggins blossomed into such an elite defender this season that he ought to be on the DPOY short list, too. Smart is a good defender; don't get it twisted. But much of his defensive prowess comes from flops - and the refs in this Finals got sick of that and stopped calling them fouls. An uncalled flopping foul is a freebie open shot for the offense. Oops. Wiggins outplayed Tatum on both ends of the court. He's just the better player at this stage in his career. Without Two-Way Wigs, the Warriors probably couldn't have run off those last three wins so easily to take the Championship. He's due a lot of credit for hard work, for embracing new tasks assigned by the coaching staff (especially rebounding), and for fitting so well into the Warriors' system. Boston's bench productivity was no match for the Warriors', and that mattered, too. Big vulnerability right there. The brightest spot in Boston's performance in this series was Robert Williams. I'm starting to see him as a player on the level of Embiid. He's agile, athletic, has great timing, has a nice soft touch in the mid range and at the rim, is an elite rim protector, and he's not exactly helpless defending at the arc - though there aren't any bigs in the NBA that can fully contain Poole or Curry at the arc. This is where defensive rotations come into play. If a big has to prevent an open three by not sagging, *somebody* had better have his back. Boston's rotations weren't nearly as crisp as the Warriors'. Another vulnerability. Boston did have going for it some streaky, but often effective, 3-point shooting. Tatum got hot occasionally, and it's always a mistake to let Brown get off a 3 where he likes to be. Horford can rail 3's, too - though he's a step slow on defense and he had his pocket picked if he dared to dribble much. But with Tatum and Brown's drives to the hoop flummoxed by forcing them to their left, Boston couldn't generate enough offense to have much hope against the Warriors' defense. These aren't quite the dominant Warriors we saw during their dynasty years, and as their core stars age, it's probably mistaken enthusiasm to expect another championship next year. But hey, they got it done this season, adding to their illustrious achievements and cementing their legacy as the best franchise to play in this era. Pop the corks, it's celebration time!

I felt like we went on this wonderful journey together, you feel like internet family at this point. No one ever did get fired for watching and absolutely loving your vids :) even during zoom meeting. Love ya man! God bless.

I’ve enjoyed this season soooo much more because of your vids! I learn tons, and so get to enjoy at a deeper and deeper level from your insights. Nobody teaches like you. And the ‘celebration’ humor is gold! Grateful. Thank you!

Thank you for teaching us the nuances of the game. Stumbling into your channel is one of the best things that happened to me this year

"I think you have my property!" I will now take back the "real property", the Larry coming back to the Bay!!! Great to share this journey with you Eric, thanks for all the knowledge and good times!!!

OMG I'm so glad you mentioned Smart's last minute flop. Dude had given up and didn't want to be around for Curry's inevitable dagger.

Poole's night-night was such a lil bro moment

We ended this journey be a champ together with you. You breakdown’s always was great and fun. I am waiting next season and your videos. Thank you.

Congratulations 4 time Champions. Wow

We did it. We did it. We did it. So happy to have your commentary this whole season.

5:01 casually places mouth guard back in right before a disgusting shot lmaoooo

As a healthcare worker I don’t often get to catch regular season games. I’m always swamped or too tired to watch anything but the highlights. I found your channel during the playoffs and if you keep up these quality uploads for the regular season I’m gonna watch every video. Must say your videos are like 2000x better than house of highlights 9 minute recap.

Love your breakdowns. One observation: the offensive/defensive execution of this team were so well calibrated that the -layoffs were simplified for them. Take nothing away from their opponents who were met by this troubling conundrum.

2022 CHAMPS (AGAIN!) 💙💛🏀💦🏆

Bro, your dry humor makes these so much better. I love the breakdowns. They improve my understanding of the game. Thank you.

From the Philippines, thank your for your brilliant and entertaining videos, Eric!! They made this historic championship run by the Warriors more memorable! What a season! Looking forward to more of your excellent work. :)

6:10 Wiggins says “where you goin eh” 😆 I like the Canadian slang. My guy is always on point!

Just I thought the day couldn't get any better. A new video from @Dub Nation HQ. Thank you for all the in depth analysis and positive vides throughout the season. Please do more celebration audits even when there's no game.

Thanks for the breakdowns you made this season so much more fun for me!

Yeah I want gp2 swiping compilation too. Thank you! ❤️

Before you even posted this video, I was thinking, "Oh, no! No more 'Explain One Play' after tomorrow!" (Or just "Explain," as you're calling it now, although it might be more accurate to call it "Explain 20 Plays.") You've been by far my favorite commenter on Warriors games all season, and that includes all the professional talking heads out there on the national channels with millions of dollars behind them. Thanks for all the excellent analysis and especially for the entertaining, inventive, humorous commentary that, on many occasions, had me laughing out loud.

Thank you Eric for making great game analysis. It was really great season, and most deserved championship.

Watch the game, the highlights and wait for Dub Nation HQ video. That pretty much sums up my day every GSW game schedule. Congrats Dubs fans!

man, pistachios, sheet metal, and fries have been instrumental in the chef's curry recipe this season!!!

I watched every Warriors game this season, and your videos were the perfect "dessert" after the main course. Thank you for the consistent and timely uploads, keep up the great work!

What!!!! That part about JP and Steph's audit for the night night got me laughing like an idiot. 😂 😂 😂 Awesome content bro.

DLee will tell Baby Lee the story of the year her mother Carried her and Uncle Steph carried him! 😂

Man what a season! Thanks for your breakdown videos, looking forward for more

Thank you Eric for making me just a bit smarter at watching the game, and seeing the details in a game. Can’t wait for the next season.

Ive watched every video you made this season and your work helped me appreciate and love this team more than i already did. THANK YOU DUB NATION HQ! WE DID IT!

Let’s frickin go Dubs.

Everyone has expressed exactly how I feel about your brilliance and your top-tier dad joke hilarity! Thank you so much! I’ll be looking for everything you post!

Tons of gratitude to you for doing this. I’ve been waiting after every win to get your post game analysis, its a great way to extend the good feeling after a win. Maybe next year you could do something similar but different as a balm after Dubs (hopefully infrequent) losses. Thanks again!!!

Let me add my thanks, too!, Eric! My brother, my wife and I have learned a lot from you videos. We also appreciate that you don't take it all too seriously: we love the lip reading and the celebration audit! As for retro videos, I'm up for seeing GP II and Wigs and Otto Porter being highlighted for their key contributions. Thanks again! Looking forward to more from you.

Thank you for all Eric. Our dubs just getting started bruh

Eric, thanks for your great explanations of so much of the Warriors basketball strategy and defense. What a great way to close out the 2022 finals last night in the Garden. Curry is the best player I have ever seen. WARRIORS ARE A DYNASTY TEAM,

Since we all love a good Dubs celebration... How about an Explain One Parade episode, from the coming Monday event?

Great job Eric, shout out from Jakarta, Indonesia 👍

Dub Nation HQ.. fantastic job on game analysis this year. The season wouldn’t have been the same without you. Wifey and I enjoyed every minute of your content that we could. We’ve both learned a lot about the game from you. Good times amigo. Go Warriors go!

It must be very fullfilling that you've done all these game-play-explanations right up to the very end of the last game of the play-offs, closing with the championship in the pocket! And yes soup needs some potato's. Hahaha... thanks man!

Your commentaries are insightful and humorous, a very difficult thing to accomplish. They really contribute to our enjoyment of the game. Thanks very much.

Been saving watching this EOP for a few days, since it’s the last of the season. Thanks for an amazing season of analysis. Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into these. The best Fathers Day present I could have asked for is to not have a game to watch today (I still remember the last Father’s Day game 7 in 2016). What an amazing season. Looking forward to seeing what the Dubs do next season. Get some rest Eric!

Thanks for the entertainment I’m glad I found this channel, there isn’t a lot of content like this out there. Can’t wait to see what Dubs HQ gives us this summer

Eric, you need to be on ESPN and/or other shows. This is smart, educational and funny.

Thank you for making these videos to narrate a championship season.

"physics left hand rule." Exactly what I was thinking, How did you know? Not. Love watching somebody funny and smart who actually knows basketball. Great stuff.

Dammit Eric I love you. ❤️ Thank you for this journey. Highs and lows, you've always been there to explain. 🙏🏾 So happy 4 Steph I 🥲 Can't wait for you to re-analyze this year.

Thanks for contributing to a great season. Your sense of humor is quirky and dry and different from other RU-vidr analysts; I chuckled at the magnetic field joke. Would love to someday see the roots of all of Kerr's plays he's picked up from other teams. Keep up the great work!

Waaarrriiiiooorrrsss!!!!! What a year bro!!! Always enjoy your breakdowns... and this one is hella more special!!! 🤘🏾

Thanks for all your analyses this season, it really helped me understand the Warriors strategies and added to my enjoyment of this season. What a great year for the Warriors1

I will be replaying this stretch and the 14-2 Celtics run at the start over the summer before the season restarts. I don't have a life until then.

I appreciate the celebration audits so much. I laughed so hard!!!

Thank youuuu Eric. Good to know that the fun continues during the break.

Always look forward to these videos. DUBS ARE ON TOP AGAIN

Low key - dubs fan or not … this a sublime channel. I don’t know who you are Mr Apricot. You remind me of James and the Giant Peach. But I just like the content… I won’t eat you.

That is 16/16, thank you dude!!!, These breakdowns were awesome!!!, Amazing wins followed by amazing analyses. Let's go!!!!!!

Thank you for making an incredible season even more enjoyable.

I can't wait for your take on Klay's 37 game. Have a great summer, Eric.

I love how you throw shade it’s so nonchalantly laid into it. Just seamless like your content! Love it. Also love how you pointed out a all the flopping I don’t watch every single game and try to catch what I can but in recent years I’ve been confused about how soccer style of dramatic flops made it’s way to be so prevalent in the NBA. I like how you pointed out how refs can also be desensitized by known exaggerating players. If Luka and Smart didn’t waste so much time crying about missed fouls who knows what they could have produced. Which is why I love the Warriors. They are just that, they of course plead their cases for miss calls but they are already hustling to get in on the next play. Can’t make anything happen if you’re still in the back court crying.

This might be the first basketball video _ever_ with a left hand rule reference. Bravo.

Amazing analysis, insights, and content this year, Eric! Thanks for all of the hard work putting these together. The depth of your content really adds to the overall Warriors experience for me and you do a great job of keeping it fresh and fun.

Eric is the absolute best! Thanks!!!

Thanks, Eric, for all the basketball education and the light touch.

Retro games you didn’t mention: Game 6 in Houston 2019 Game 3 Pelicans 2015 Game 6 OKC 2016 Any game where we demoralized the CP3 Clippers.

Jeff van gundy: you really gotta hand it to the warriors. Celtics: okay! Great season!! I've learned so much watching your videos. Unbelievable being on this journey with the dubs. At the end of last year and after their undefeated preseason, I figured they could be top four in the west and then it would depend on how well every one could perform to survive and advance. So many question marks among the younger and older players. But boy did they ever answer them. What a performance, with results that in hindsight resemble domination. So rewarding to follow this team. Every player has a story.

Thanks for making this season more enjoyable by helping savor Dubs greatness. I look forward to any of your content over the summer!

Can’t wait for more content from you!

Thanks for this man. Amazing run

Damian Lee’s Left-hand rule celebration … I was thinking the same thing! High-five fellow nerd. Thanks for all the great videos this season. Go Dubs!

I honestly can't blame Klay for not showing up entirely the guy been through it last couple years and to come back mid season and go on a run like this even during a year curry is having a 3 point slump it's unpredictable and amazing

Great season and great clips. Look forward to your next. Thanks

I'm happy it ended the way it did, sorry it's over, it's been fun. I really enjoy your channel, looking forward to next season. Have a good summer.

Always entertaining and informative! Thanks, Eric.

Yes more games!! So glad i found these videos

Appreciate your work this year!
