In this episode, we analyze how the Warriors executed the twirl play multiple times in their victory against New Orleans on 2025-03-28-GSW-NOP, including key plays involving Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Buddy Hield. Analysis concludes with a celebration audit after a key three-pointer.
Starring Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Buddy Hield, Draymond Green, Brandon Podziemski, Gui Santos, and Quinten Post. Also with Bruce Brown, Jose Alvarado, Antonio Reeves, Elfrid Payton.
In the Elite Eight, possible GSW draft targets Darrion WIlliams (20-5-3) and JT Toppin (20-11) were excellent, but other draft target Walter Clayton Jr was even better (30-2-4) to advance FLA to the Final Four.
Jimmy has a great ability to jump in the air and read and react before making the right pass.
For others it looks like a bail out option and they botch the possession more often than not. For Jimmy it looks more like a proactive weapon and maybe other defenders react so obvious because he's in the air so they know he HAS to pass it but he's 3 steps ahead and finds the open man.
Warriors play such high IQ Bball they should call it Cereball.
