Loving all of this, as usual. Small (big?) request. After you break down a play and show us all of the steps, sometimes you finish with showing the whole play in real time from start to finish, but other times we just see the end in real time. Could we then get the whole enchilada after you show us how the sausage is made and watch how that cake is baked (yeah, mixed foodaphors, I'm hungry).
Great videos. This game was probably the most glaring case of how Oubre's problems (and Wiseman's to a lesser extent) affect the whole offense, and how playing some combination of Lee, Mulder, and Bazemore instead makes a huge difference there. It makes me want to look back at all those guys' defensive plays though to see how much difference they make on the other end.
I can't fault Kerr for trying: Oubre is bouncy and has freakishly long arms, and he definitely knows how to bother and press the ballhandler at a high level already. If he can just learn to play within the system he should be capable of a lot of things Mulder or Lee could never manage. But 10 games in, I haven't seen much progress. You have to wonder at what point the Warriors organization draws the line and decides he's not going to learn what they need him to in the time they need him to learn it. Or, preferably, when the rest of us can start witnessing the fruits of his studying on the court.

Eric: this one was just the best. You are an excellent teacher! Its a lot of work, but please keep it up. I said in my first post to you when LGW was launched that people should not have a problem subscribing to support really good reporting. Your work proves that and you should be proud ...
Great work on these! I suggested an E1P for the long lefty skip pass to D Lee augmented by the Paschall screen and was pleased to see how you worked it in. I noticed you didn't want to spend too much time on the tag and drop defense Curry was doing to avoid switching - no need to go into that in any more detail, just show some of your older work with the same approach with LeBron and the Cavs.
"On top, we have the whole drama of the barbecuing about to happen..." Love it EA :) Long format is great, anytime you're talking basketball it's a boost to our collective +/-.
Best trilogies of all time: 1) LOTR 2) E1P clipper game series ... sorry Apricot couldn't give you 1st place here but you easily beat out both the Matrix and star wars episodes 1/2/3
What a marathon! Some great moments there. This is your Opus Apricot. Your Finnegan’s Wake. Lol
I love the longer form.

Thanks for another great E1P. Had to rewatch the whole second half again after the live game in order to catch some of this stuf.

Thanks so much for all the work you put into these... how long until we start seeing quadruple staggered screens for Steph? :)
Love these!
Thank you!
