BBALLBREAKDOWN I thought so. Can't wait for the Warriors turn! I'd love to see how they turned their team into becoming a top 3 defense in the league! Just a suggestion, keep up the good work as im sure you will!
GroveStreetAsylum to keep it 100, If the thunder drop to the third seed i like the Dallas and Clippers match up. Dallas have the ability to win against the clippers but it will be extra difficult to handle OKC afterwards. That way OKC can have a better shot at getting to the western conference finals. Then to the finals.
How can the Spurs beat OKC in the playoffs? I don't think tonight was the best example of a playoff gme, because the Spurs were coming off of a back-to-back against the Warriors, and then OKC had 3 days off before that, but in an overall standpoint.
No Manu either, he brings the bench to its full potential. I'm still pissed they gave a technical to Duncan when Perkins held him. That shit would never be called on our court.
Gimme a break. The Thunder philosophy is very simple, and obviously very effective: save all your mental energy for defense. Like it or not, Durant and Westbrook alone can carry a team offensively, even without all your "beautiful offensive sets". Shut down the opposing team's offense and then give the ball to KD and Russ. Pay too much attention to them, they are both unselfish players and will find the open man. That's when Ibaka gets going, and even Thabo. This Thunder team, especially now with Butler, is equipped to shut down ANY team. When they are aggressive defensively, that leads to easy offense. I watch every single one of their games, its an east pattern to see. They don't NEED a complex offense, and people resent them for it. They have a scoring/shooting machine to create space and an unstoppable, eternal penetrator to take advantage of that space. NOW they have a stretch 4 who shoots over 52% on mostly midrange jump shots to take advantage of the attention given to KD and Russ. They don't need bells and whistles on offense...they JUST need to be committed and "smartly aggressive" on defense.
Coach, you just showed videos from their offense against the JAZZ and the KINGS.. Could you please do the same but against the top defenses in the league (Bulls/Pacers) ?
Their offense relies more so on their players abilities than good team play that utilizes quick movement, quick passes, and screens to create easier shots. It works to an extent because they're talented, but against a tough defense, you have to play better team offense.
Spurs, OKC, Clipper, Heat and Pacers are contenders. Heat and Pacers have time to play themselves into form. The West will be brutal with Rockets, Portland, Golden State, Memphis, Dallas, Phoenix.
If Kawhi didn't get that ticky-tack foul before the end of the half, game would have been much different. He guarded Deurant so well in the 1st, keeping him 2-8 from the field, with only 6 points. Also that double T was retarded, why does the NBA let Perkins get away with that crap all the time? ANYWAYS good game OKC, don't expect the Spurs to be this easy in the playoffs. (back-to-back without Manu)
Durant isn't even the reason the Spurs lost LOL. You guys not watch the game? It was Ibaka/Westbrook and Reggie that owned the Spurs like they always do.
I used to criticize you remarks on westbrook but after watching this game closely(even though westbrook had a good game) his potential is much higher on a different team. where he can be the first guy and someone like rondo can go play with Durant He is just a really low-IQ player and relies too much on his athletic ability to cover his mistakes.... really seeing your concerns in his game. He probably wont change this game though due to his ego and confidence in his own skills
HAH!, it's because guy's like Coach Nick, that people think WestBrook is low iQ I'm sick of his video's on the Thunder's it sure as hell tells me that analytic's are overated, Thunder's went to Finals with Westbrook, Thunder lose in 2 round without Westbrook, Thunder's offensive efficiency goes down when Westbrook is in and out of the line up even tho Durant is playing incredible. Westbrook plays with his heart on his sleeves, and im tired of him playing for the Thunder's where he doesn't get appreciated, really pisses me off that guy like that gets so much hate.
YES! im loving all the videos! So many recently
Pushing it for the playoffs!

WOW that was a quick video, coach!
Nice!
Great stuff! I learn from you everyday :)
The first time I see coach praise about OKC's offence.
Do a video about the Thunder REFS!!!
Starting with the Vazquez off call!!!
Iblaka got owned on that dunk attempt lol

They don't have really have offensive lulls anymore, more worried about their defensive lapses in late game situations
hell yea hope okc take it out this yr
They're definitely going to need to run more set plays in the playoffs.

You......I like you.

Some Of Those Were Against The Bulls.
sample21383 A forced iso shot from Westbrook..
synergy related question: if a team runs pick & roll which ends up with kick out to corner 3, is it in their stats marked as spot up or P&R?
P&R. If the corner guy's defender doesn't come to help defende the P&R, it would be P&R guys to finish the play.
Their offense relies more so on their players abilities than good team play that utilizes quick movement, quick passes, and screens to create easier shots. It works to an extent because they're talented, but against a tough defense, you have to play better team offense.
After watching your Spurs breakdowns, these plays look awfully simple..
Spurs, OKC, Clipper, Heat and Pacers are contenders. Heat and Pacers have time to play themselves into form. The West will be brutal with Rockets, Portland, Golden State, Memphis, Dallas, Phoenix.
405 Thunder Up
Oh coach. Slowly but surely you're opening up to scottie brooks crappy coaching. I feel the bromance in the air

When you sweep a season series, there's very little chance the team that got swept will win the playoff series, but what do I know

i am not saying he is not great , I am saying he shouldnt be on the same team as durant and can be even better if he actually took better shots
Okc won yaya yaya

Who cares about OKC and Spurs? Clippers will win it.
Get out.
