Thunder at Clippers: Another Epic Meltdown by Westbrook & Durant
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2016
- Coach Nick broke down the 4th quarter of this exciting game, as the Clippers used a 24-4 run midway through the fourth quarter to take control of this game. While the Clippers slogged through 3 quarters, getting blown out and looking like there was no hope, the cascade of poor decisions and execution by the Thunder ultimately doomed them.

Andddd that last play is exactly why KD is gone next year lol
Lol
😨😨😨😨
bro wtf
Yooooo
Bro knew a year before hand😭
Said this for the longest time. The whole Iso ball and pick and roll KD/WB isnt gonna win a title...they need to play with their teammates.
Exactly they dont play team ball they play a two man game and thats it
+Plague Doc And nobody else on their team will get better. They need to split up KD and Westbrook, or get them to pull their giant heads in.
+Plague Doc even if he had pass the ball nothing would happen they need solid set plays involving both of them just like GS so their TEAMMATES CAN get open
+jimmtheballs they dont even play together. It's mostly Steven Adams work tendencies that keep giving them shots.
+Plague Doc this has been the story of the team for the past 5 years. durant can play through iso ball but westbrook is not nearly as reliable and he is just out of control
Finally people are coming around to the reality that the Thunder just aren't contenders right now (and probably haven't been since 2011-2012). They have enough talent on the roster, for sure, but there are huge problems with how it all fits together.
I honestly think Harden and Durant would've been a better fit than Westbrook and Durant.
+HyperSole They needed harden to stay with them. They let go of reggie too.
+tbr2109 They were contenders in 2012-13 as well, until Patrick Beverly happened.
+Alejandro Serrano Reggie wanted to leave, he was becoming a cancer in the lockeroom.
+D Sizzle because he wanted, and deserved, a bigger role and they wouldn't give it to him.
some of the anecdotes I've seen in the press suggest Westbrook didn't like him and treated him badly.
I don't think it fair to say he was he cancer.
Westbrook is incredibly skilled BUT he does not know how to run an attack. he plays like solo on the hood.
Yeah don't know why thoigh, probably because he plays mean
Westbrook is Carlton & Durant is Will Smith when it comes to last second shots.
hahahahahahaa couldnt describe it any better
+ADAJ3 Ah the nostalgia
+ADAJ3 lmao just saw a vine about that
lol love every time Coach Nick dissects the Thunder and exposes their non-existence offense
I am a Clippers fan, and Chris Paul is my favorite player. But it annoys the shit out of me how he seems to give KD so much trouble on defense lol.
+decor271 Chris Paul's a great defender.
George Daugherty I definitely agree, but KD is 6'10 and Chris Paul is 6'0
decor271 That's just how good CP3 is.
That's why OKC never will be successful in no matter anyway
I don't watch a lot of Thunder games, but every time I do (against my Blazers, mostly), Westbrook makes horrific mistakes in crunch time. Durant is on quite a bad decision streak too.
Agreed, westbrook gets alot of the blame but Durant is just as bad. In last week warrior game, kd was a t.o and bad decision machine when westbrook was on the bench.
Yeah, I only watched the very end of that one, on replay, but Durant's flip to center court and subsequent foul were pretty much the nail in their coffin in that game.
The first warriors game when Russell threw the oop.. horrible. Even worse was Durant trying to make it.. come down with it and reset.
That is why LBJ in any team can be a contender.. Because he's good with teammates.. Not like KD and WB.. They are just good with stats..
+tiismuna good with teammates my ass lol...............thats y there is word that Irving wants out of CC and thats y LBJ was alienating Love right lmfao ....great teammate
gman dog6 its not just the one game tho.................its happens a lot especially when they r up against great teams and is a close game
+gman dog6 when they got to the finals? they have a stronger team then.. analysts almost count on them to win the finals last 3 seasons, because they have a powerhouse.. its just they can't play well in a team.. these two just pad stats..
Lol. LBJ pads stats too. These people are relying solely on athleticism instead of good sound basketball technique and IQ. In my honest opinion, it leads back to their college days or lack there of.
+DAVID i know that LBJ pad stats.. But he is great at involving other teammates.. He can make a scrub team to a contender..
Los Angeles Clippers Vs. Oklahoma City Durants
Amazing breakdown, these sorts of videos is what makes your channel one of the best available. Love your work from down here in Australia
Do a video about the Boston Celtics, they are doing a pretty good job, when you can
+Raul “RDM” D.M. Absolutely we will asap!
+BBALLBREAKDOWN Thanks, I appreciate. I know you're a pretty busy guy
Patiently waiting for the Warriors vs Lakers breakdown video.
+kemoblue4u. I still can't believe that it happen
& people honestly compare this dude to.....Smh 😒
I would take CP3 over Westbrook anytime...
+Adam Doležálek I'd rather have neither of them. Cp3 hasn't been to a conference finals despite more than enough talent to do so on multiple teams. At the very least Westbrook has a finals appearance as a starting point guard on his resume. Watching videos like this though just goes to show that Westbrook is all out athleticism and little brains.
+ParaditeRs AAAHAHAHAH are you dumb? are you really that stupid thoooooo oh shttt
If i had to decide it would be cp3. He can run offense. But is always injured in the fucking playoffs.
I love it when games like this happen, just so I can watch the breakdown. also Durant needs to get out of OKC this year, if he went to the lakers others would want to come to the team again and within a couple of seasons they could be contenders
Another epic analysis, thanks coach....I always watch the ads to support you.
Having watched the OKC-GSW game yesterday, it's like a copy. 4th quarter bad decision making is a real issue here.
I said it on Twitter yesterday... I want to root for the Thunder, but the way this team plays in the 4th quarter makes me SICK.
I love your breakdowns!
This game is more on KD then WB.
Question for coach nick: do you think okc would be better with durant and harden as a duo opposed to westbrook and kd duo?
Good question
+Miltonman100 Probably would be the same thing.
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! Good take.Hardens defense has actually heen good last 3 months too.And even with westbrook averaging assist,Harden knows when to defer and control the pace of the game much better IMO.
+Alejandro Serrano harden knows when to defer and control the pace of the game
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! harden is also a better offensive decision maker/playmaker.
yes the defense would be similarly poor.
Great breakdwon, Coach!!! Keep up the good work!! #BenchOnaQuest
Great break down! Pls do more.
Maybe Curry, Lillard, or CP3 could get away with just running pick and rolls with Durant all game, but Westbrook is too fucking stupid and can't make a play for shit to do it. Terrible decision making. He also has no 3-point shot, a weak mid-range, and is reckless and likes to drive at collapsed defenders in the paint, etc. This shit is not going to work for them. And don't even get me started on that final 3 in this game lmao... What in the fuck was Westbrick thinking??? When he did that when I was watching the game I was mind-boggled. I thought "surely God he's going to swing it over to KD at the 3" since KD can actually shoot and he's fairly clutch in those situations, but NOPE. Classic Russ... A RUNNING 3-POINTER FROM 27 FEET WITH TWO PEOPLE CONTESTING. Good lord Westbrook you were running up the floor with 12 precious seconds left and you do that shit? KD is going to choke you to death one of these days... or leave OKC which is virtually inevitable at this rate.
This aged so well now
@@arminvoltia7941 wooooah.. hahahaha
Coach, could you maybe do a video about your personal points of emphasis in coaching a team? Would be great! Keep up the good work!
this was a good video, and I'm a clippers fan, so I really enjoyed this
And no one gives a shit
I love that EOG set with the ball screen into Rip screen by the Clippers.
Coach Nick, can you break down the Timberwolves? We got two young stars in Towns and Wiggins and I'm seeing good things out of other guys such as Lavine and Dieng. While we are one of the worst 5 teams in the NBA in a few years I think we'll be a force and I was curious if you would look to see why and what makes us a force
+I am not Taylor Swift Shabazz would fit bad with a lot of teams. Plays Jordan ball with not even an 8th of the talent.
+xxThe Christan Gamerxx they are young
great content imma grab the app soon
I love your videos btw!! But Can you start doing videos on the Bulls & Derrick Rose?
Some of this Westbrook blame is a stretch. One thing to note is that the Thunder only have two good passers: Russ (who is incredible) and KD. By the 4th quarter these guys are completely gassed and most of their mistakes were tired mistakes. Not only do these guys play big minutes but they're constantly attacking and creating for others.
The Thunder have no shooters, and no one other than the big 2 averages more than 2 assists per game.
Also, sometimes guys miss free throws. KDs rattled in and out...calling it a "choke" fits the narrative, but it's not really substantive. I actually don't really care for the Thunder, but videos like this are so knee-jerk/results oriented.
My clippers pulled it off
3:40 first i thought that moustache guy's gonna give candy to little kids, then i noticed it's steven adams
Really great breakdown Coach!
+Jesús Salas Castellanos thanks! #ImIn
from what i saw the OKC defense is terrible, their offense was stagnant, KD was just off, Russ throws up dumb shots at the end of the game, and Enes Kanter started this whole mess by clogging the lane multiple times
Damn Coach nick is a savage
+King Buter Savage! 🔥🔥🔥
Can you do a breakdown of the Timberwolves and their problems? Thanks for all your videos. Very insightful as always!
Were these the Jimmy Butler days?
Wow, looks like a game between the bad vs. the terrible. So many mistakes, on both sides.
Did he say 4th road game in 5 nights? I know these guys get paid millions to do what they do but wtf NBA? It makes me respect the players who are staying consistent even more knowing how tough their job must be.
it was a joke fool
and people say that Russ is better than curry
he is
He is not
Curry has a better basketball I.q and curry is a better passer and a better shooter
Geronilon Valdesimo Curry has shooting over nothing else off the top of my head
+Nabbit you stupid he is the best shooter in the world rite now
i saw a comment a couple videos ago about you possibly making a video on how the heat are doing so well even without bosh, and how they kept the game against the warriors so close almost all game? is ths in the works?
I can't even look at OKC as a real championship contender ever again. It's really embarrassing how they fail to close out games and can't even execute down the stretch. Against the Spurs and Warriors, they have no chance.
+Mikey Wilkins Jr This game is played pretty badly, but I believe they also really took a hit from the loss to GSW.
10:20 did cp3 just signaled deandre for an alley-oop? haha
Thunder are the most overrated team in the league
How are they the most overrated team? They came closer to beating the Warriors than any other elite team and did it three times. OKC is an amazing team.
Kavan Barry But they are not consistent, and thats mostly because they have such strong attitudes like Westbrook who make bad decisions in clutch time. They are good, no doubt about it, but they are not as good as people often say, in my opinion.
+JaviAIR underachieving*
+Kavan Barry Have you watched the clippers and warriors....
+JaviAIR *Westbrook
*Superstar
I like OKC a bit, and it sucks to see them not do well against the NBA's better teams, but I'm just super excited that the Celtics are actually included in that better team list. Like, wow. We have come a long way since the Big 3 era.
Any thought to doing something on the Celtics? I think Steven's defensive schemes and offensive schemes have them playing at there max potential, love to see one of these break downs on there games.
coach do a video about how younger kids release from their chest and how to fix that problem to get ur release point higher
Nice breakdown
Thanks ! Oh my, I've never seen a true mess like the Thunder. Durant and Westbrook should be Goku and Vegeta. And they are Recoom and Guldo. Thanks again for this bkdwn on OKC.
You mean Nappa and Scouter Vegeta
+jaquan541 ^^ at least they no makes the Ginue's commando dance.
stop the nerds talk guys
+Lukas Löffler Oh Frieza sama !
Lukas Löffler Nigga or what?????
Coach, can you do a breakdown on the Celtics? I know, compared to the western teams their record isn't that great; but I'm still extremely impressed by the fact that they made a complete turn around from the 8th seed that got swept in the first round vs now sitting at the 3rd seed, including a surprising and impressive blowout win against a boiling hot Trailblazers team a couple days ago. And what's even more impressive is, they've got to this point without having to majorly change their personal since last year.
the Celtics had the second best Eastern conference record post all star break. they went under the radar because of all those 50 win teams in the west
You already know coach should do a breakdown on the lakers-warriors win
do a video on the okc thunders struggles and their problems and why kd may not stay!
Do a video about the change in tempo for the heat and how there doing everything better
This team kills me. love them to death but come on
Ayyyye the Raptors made it to the top team comparison!
+GLegend360 aayyyooh!
Hey Coach, love your videos! I have to ask: do you have a personal problem with HEAT organization?
Since LBJ left you haven't said anything about them and they're doing really good this season, despite losing Bosh, Tyler Johnoson and Beno Udrich. Hassan is a beast, Dragic is starting to look comfortable and Wade is playing like he's 5 years younger, making clutch plays and being great leader - I'm sure it hasn't escaped your attention.
I hope that we'll see some heat breakdown soon. Greetings from Poland!
okc should sign fisher tbh, Durant said he likes him and was mad knicks fired him and he said he was a "good coach" with no proof tho. Then u take him, see how good he is. you gonna make the playoffs Because anyone will make the playoffs with the thunder with KD and Westbrook healthy
You know the gods were on the clippers side when Deandre "air ball" Jordan hits two freethrows in a row
Can you please do a video about Miami? I'd really like to see one.
Damn that's one of the worst chokes I've ever seen...
They say that LbJ chokes.. You dont see LBJ do this kind of decisions in crunch time.. He is not clutch but not this kind of choker..
Warriors just administered a beatdown in the 4th quarter. Man are the Thunder sad. No chance at a championship. Some habits never go away.
westbrooks just imitating steph curry lol
I would love to see Rondo as pg in this team with westbrook at sg position
Nuclear Explosion
+alessandroha Westbrook ain't that good as a sg.
Alejandro Serrano I know but...Wes as PG...oh God!!
Talent allows you to do stuff, Smarts tells you the RIGHT thing to do . This OKC team is frustrating man arguably the most talented team but can't play together
Thunder ain't ready for primetime
Im not going to say that its easy to beat OKC, but if your team have a nice defense or is willing to play very hard for 12 minutes all you need to do is take them to the last quarter as a 10 point game, because OKC's game is ridiculously predictable in the 4th quarter. It's always the basic and stupid hero ball in the 4th
In no way shape or form am I saying it's easy to stop KD. But with the way the Thunder's offense is in the 4th it makes it easier to at least make him take tough shots that don't have a lot of rhythm
Lol cp3 with the vicious tickle attack on Russ.
Coach, can you please do a Breakdown about what's wrong with the Bulls?
westbrook must of thought he was curry
watching this while the warriors thunder game is going on
WTF is Westbook doing at 7:25? casually walking while watching Johnson run for an open 3
Can you break down the problems with the Butlerless Bulls and why they can't hold teams under 100 points
OKC are having awful time closing out 4th quarters of late, but if there is a consolation it would be it's only a regular season game they still have time to fix there gremlins. Just think the team that beat you probably had one of the worst collapse in NBA playoffs history when the loss to the Rockets.
there are only ~20 games left. they should be rounding into form. they don't want to be 4 seed and face GSW in 2nd round. if they get out of 1st round that is.
I expect a breakdown on how lakers defeat the Warriors coach
This is exactly why Cp3 is better than Westbrook , both are great players but cp3 knows how to handle the game and 9/10 makes good decisions , but Westbrook can't run the offense & makes bad decisions in the 4th quarter
Coach what us very frightening to me is that if you watch your breakdowns of Dallas - OKC 2011 Playoffs you almost analyze the exact same issues , OKC will always be the same
It's mind boggling how often these players can just stand around just doing the very minimum to make themselves available to receive a pass near the perimeter and just watch either Durant or Westbrook. Durant and Westbrook need to start developing a consistent off-ball game and as leaders of the team, they need to run the plays the coaches want to implement. It starts with them, if they're standing around so often and just spotting up to make themselves available to catch an outlet pass, the less talented players are not going to try anything different. I'm pretty sure the coach didn't design their offensive sets to look like this half the time.
Coach, can we agree that thunder can be a great defense? They have the length,size, and talent.
However, I feel like they don't know how to play defense in sync.
When the thunder blow a lead and Scott brooks is the coach nick blames it on him but when Billie Donavan is the coach he says nothing he does wrong
do a video on the lakers blowing out the warriors this weekend. it's impossible not to do one to be honest.
Many People said Durant has good handles but he loses his handles so often in this type of meltdowns lol
Man, that was an ugly 4th quarter by OKC. Unfortunately, they've made a habit of it against the Warriors in the last month too.
Looks like the Scott Brooks thunder to me
I don't think it was the coach. I think the players don't allow anything more creative to be run and they handcuff the coaches hands.
That last shot Westbrick did was not only dumb, but even if he got fouled or made the shot, he still gave Clippers time to win the game
+Jordan M. that's not true though, if your team is down by 3 points, you want to shoot the ball as soon as possible so that even though you miss, you still have the chance to grab a rebound or if your opponent get the rebound, you can get to foul-freethrow-get possession process.
+Haoyang Luo You want to shoot the ball as soon as possible with the better shot possible.
+Haoyang Luo Why would you want a bad quality shot as quickly as possible? That makes no sense
Goddamn I love Durant and Westbrook but they're never going to win a championship like this.
Thunder miss Kendrick Perkins. No way he'd allow them to play soft defense and careless turnovers. Veteran leadership in the locker room is such an underrated facet of the game.
Nice!
Please do a video of what the Knicks are doing differently under Kurt Rambis
If the thunder can't get Westbrook under control they will never have a chance to win. He's been in the league too long to keep making these silly mistakes and decisions.
Hey coach, it's not a team you cover much but do you think you could take a look at the Utah Jazz? Probably not a playoff team this year, and they are plagued with injuries, but sometimes Favors goes off and kind of channels Karl Malone. A smaller, lesser Karl Malone.
Coach Nick just slaughtered OKC with this breakdown
I guess you can't say kevin Durant is now free of blame for why okc occasionally blows games in the 4th.
The Coach they have now isn't any better than Scott brooks
hey coach you should make a bit about the Celtics recent success at home
KD really doesn't fight getting muscled out of post position off ball. He could be setting up for low post, but the longer he goes without the ball, the more he starts walking to the 3 point line.
It's like Russell is going through rehab for 3 quarters he plays within the game and looks like a floor general...BUT when it comes to crunch time in close games he relapses and the real Russell Westbrook shines through I can't ever see this team winning a ring with him playing point guard they need to move him to off guard in the 4th quarter at the very least
Do a lakers warriors please :)
From a warrior fan
I think They needed to go more to the post. Witch I don't think they have a reliable option. But seemed like they are still playing 2v5
Ive been a thunder fan four years, the recent losses , horrible Defence and stagnant offence makes me Want to switch to another team. Fuck this
