Ben Taylor from Thinking Basketball breaks down the best chess moves and counters between the Knicks and the Spurs in their epic 5-game series, including New York’s creative actions to draw Wemby out of the paint, Brunson’s high IQ decision-making, and Wemby’s elite dexterity on both ends of the floor.

talking about tactic
4:56 dirty wemby at it again
since when are you allowed to pass the ball to yourself Victor Where'dmyleadgo?
Not sure plays qualify as "smart" if they are basically Wemby having 4-foot long arms.
Wemby is 7ft.5 with the wingspan of a giant Pterodactyl so the way the Knicks beat him is by using pure hoops IQ , Put him in bad spots , use KAT to draw him outside
+ the way Brunson uses the glass is like magic that few can block.
6:21
this team has that 2019 raptors DNA
Jalen Brunson — Kyle Lowry
Mikal Bridges — Pascal Siakam
OG Anunoby — Kawhi Leonard
Karl-Anthony Towns — Marc Gasol
Jose Alvarado — Fred VanVleet
Landry Shamet — Danny Green
Mitchell Robinson — Serge Ibaka
Josh Hart — Norman Powell
i'm starting to think if you get guys who have similar play you have a chance to win
Knicks basketball is beautiful
Full playoffs mini movie 🔜
well i know what's NOT going to be here lol
3:43 KAT dragging around that pivot foot like he is Michael Jackson.
can you do a video of all the bull crap calls in this finals series ?
All despite his father alleged sexual assault behavior
Great!
The lone spurs win wasn’t bc they countered anything, they just got on all 4s and gave the refs head pre game
Im sorry this dude dont know what he talkin about
2:04 Josh stays and drain the 3. The warriors do something like this. Drain the 3 instead of cutting. LOVE it.
2:37 Giannis would like a word with you Ben…
The fact that Robinson and KAT were allowed to hook and shove Wemby all series was why they won. Hard to get a rebound or screen or be effective at all with one hand pulling in an opposite direction.
Smart, skilled players who know their roles and play them to their fullest extent
Cut behind a cutter is genius
Elite level ball movement.
Holy basketball
💟👾💟
NARRATOR IS A SPUR FAN🗽🗽💪🏾💪🏾💯🫵🏾
2:45 somebody forgot about the Giannis block in 2021
It’s already over? Ok, I thought it was still going on, like the World Cup.
thx for the video. these were great plays. one thing is clear from the finals is that brunson took it upon himself to essentially score on everyone on the spurs team especially wemby. several times when brunson was able to get a layup on wemby was pretty demoralizing. if the dpoy nor anyone else on the spurs team can guard brunson, it's night night for the spurs
fantastic breakdown, reminds me of what lin's been doing
smartest plays is a synonym for jalen brunson highlights
Whenever the NBA gets some solid analysis and film breakdown from Thinking Basketball, I'm having… a great day.
whatever you said @8:58 was egregious
Come on, Mike Brown knows they erased traveling from the NBA rule books years ago.
This was amazing, great job
The clip at 7:00 was the difference between the OKC and Knicks series. SGA is uncomfortable taking that pull up three while Brunson thrives on that shot diet, which makes the Spurs' emphasis on keeping Wemby in the paint more difficult to execute
gdamn, had no idea all that was going on? LOL wtf i kno nothing of this sport ig
game 5, 30 minutes bench hasn't scored down by double digits, Jalen Brunson 30 pts, what did he do? Pass to Jordan Clarkson who was 0 out of 4 FGA doing the same play they did since the NBA Emirates cup, JB draws 2 defenders, one will be late to defend Clarkson who will sink a floater from the free throw line while Wemby can't leave Mitchell Robinson in the paint. They did it in regular season, they did it in 1st rd. against the Hawks and did it in ECF against the Cavs. Jalen Brunson not only smart and conserves his energy for the 4th, he created for his teammates even if they're not at their best.
That last play was the stuff of legends. Literally last second ball release and was just putting the Spurs in a spin cycle for 24 seconds straight
Do you know how good you have to be to average 33 in the finals at 6’2 against a 7’6 demigod
In game 1 Jose had a brilliant play where he felt Wemby closing him so he layed it up through the back board quickly to get a goaltending call
If you can’t handle me at my Frank Ntilikina, you don’t deserve me at my Jalen Brunson ……
Jalen Brunson born to play basketball
If you can’t handle me at my Frank Ntilikina, you don’t deserve me at my Jalen Brunson
