A Warriors vs. Cavaliers Xs and Os discussion with a former NBA video coordinator

We go in-depth on the Warriors-Cavaliers Christmas Day thriller and try to think of how each team will adjust for next time.

Warriors-Cavs happened several days ago, but the ramifications of that Christmas Day thriller will reverberate for the next time they play and (likely) an NBA Finals rematch. To help break those down, we invited Mo Dakhill, a former video coordinator for the Clippers and Spurs. If you like Xs and Os and strategy, this is the podcast for you.

Among the topics discussed:

  • Why have the Cavaliers been able to stop Steph Curry? What can the Warriors do to get him going?
  • Does Cleveland have any hope at stopping Kevin Durant? Will we see more of LeBron James guarding him next time?
  • Do the Warriors get too cute late in games?
  • How have the Cavaliers found a way to keep Kevin Love on the court without him becoming a defensive liability?
  • Why are the Cavaliers able to crash the offensive glass against the Warriors without yielding too many transition opportunities the other way?
  • If Mo was cutting up film for the players on both teams, what would he focus on?
