The Warriors forced a 5 second violation on the Grizzlies final play call (in the after timeout) in the 2025 play-in game — how did this happen? This detailed film breakdown & scouting report explores whether it really a poor play call by brand new rookie coach Tuomas Lisalo, and how valuable can IQ and improvisational reads be in basketball in these single play situations.

and this is why damian lillard is the greatest player of all time.
The dray screen on Reaves is clearly an offensive foul.
Grizzlies are same team that has person who is near 7'4, and have him setting pick& roll screens at half court, guy needs like 15 sec to set screen and roll to a rim, making ball handler isolated and in 1v2 situation.
Look at their second play in 1st quarter, they call for screen & curl for jumpshot by Bane, despite fact Warriors leave paint and Jackson and Bane can simply cut toward empty rim for a dunk at any moment, they still process through called play no matter what defense does. That's simply team without much BBIQ.
The hatred for Draymond in these comments is so funny to me. I never see people like Isaiah Thomas and Bill Lambeir get this amount of hate and they were far worse than Draymond
Absolutely excellent video. The amount of crap 1st time and – what, 2 week? – head coach Iisalo is getting is kind of unfair.
Checking my diary. I believe lakers won
Do more videos man !!!
As a grizzlies fan, I hate the dubs. But they have something we may never have as a unit: experience and IQ.
Say what you will about draymond’s stats, but he changes the game every time he’s on the floor. Gonna be a decent to great coach one day
I take issue with the premise of this entire video. Blaming a player for 'lack of basketball IQ' in this case is a dangerous assumption. Allowing fluidity of reads on offense is a team wide effort, starting from the coach, coaching and professional staff and the on court and off court leadership of the team.
Just saying 'this guy was too dumb to make the read' is reductive, presumptuous, and frankly downright insulting coming from an outsider with no information past what he sees on TV
i didn't even realise aldama was handed the ball a whole two seconds before the switching started, Usually switching starts when the inbounder is handed the ball but the grizzlies waited until the final three seconds to start their play making it seem like the fastest five seconds ever.
Only casuals would say trade Draymond for anything less than a LeBron or Giannis caliber guy (heck, I'd actually still be hesitant to trade Dray even for those guys), dude is the primary facilitator on offense & anchor on defense for the Warriors, the whole system would fall apart without him.
nice
Draymond Green is the greatest OLineman in NBA history
This was excellent!!!!
That Draymond screen on Reaves is criminal man
This is the most underrated NBA channel. Subs should be in millions ny now
Bane too focused on the play and not reading the defense. He should have opened up to the ball in the empty space.
Real good
My takeaway here is the team that is allowed to push moving screens to its absolute limit gets rewarded and the team that follows the rules gets punished.
Literally anyone on any team could get open if the screener is allowed to do what Draymond did in the first clip
Can’t learn what you weren’t taught growing up, and even some are taught but never learn. I put it on the parents. It’s easy to talk about those that come after us, but we need to look in the mirror. It hurts to hear Ego talk like this smh, makes me want to throw up, like he’s so much more mightier than anyone. Or he handled every situation in his life correctly. A man’s man lmfao. Acting like men don’t come in all shapes and sizes as do all humans, acting like men back then didn’t commit crimes, lie, rob, steal, over react. It’s sad lol. These very same men he’s praising, are those who didn’t raise, or neglected to raise their kids right.
Such a pro analysis
That first one is a moving screen 😭
you'd think coaches would have drawn up plays that branch into two possible outcomes. One if the opposing team is switching and one if they're chasing. I understand it would be complicated for the players and would only work with certain groups, but for end-game situations like this, it would be invaluable.
Fantastic video
Most of these athletes don’t watch basketball or watch channels like yours that’s what separates the greats from everyone else
This is where experience rears its ugly head. The Grizzlies didn’t fully grasp the urgency of that last inbounds. Nobody was moving with any passion. They allowed themselves to be moved like checkers pieces,by GSW, making it far too easy to guard and blow up the play.
Dog look at how much they let Draymond cheat and push lmao
Hopefully the nba will one day be man enough to call moving screens again. Sorry era.
I'm wondering how Draymond's pulling guard action didn't get called and now your praising this laughable NBA moment.
Helps to be allowed to set football blocks as screens. No wonder Draymond is so talented.
Btw couch potatoes saying this or that NBA player 'sucks', it's not just that the worst player in the NBA would destroy you one one with his raw skill it's also this level of chess matchery that separates the bros from the pros.
