I mean when Raps played GSW twice during the season they lost by 3 points the 1st timr because GSW scored 2 threes in 15 seconds or so, and 2nd game they lost by 1 or 2 because all 10 players on the floor scrambled for the ball in the last 5 seconds and it ended up out of bounds on toronto which made GS win. I'm quite sure they wouldn't sweep Toronto. Now don't go telling me the raps suck or are chokers or whatever, that's not what I'm here to discuss.
Do yall know why lebron makes it out of the east every year.... Its because he plays against his own teams every year its not fair. Of course the raptors are gonna let him win when he owns the franchise.
I don’t mind the losing, Lebron is clearly playing on god mode. The thing that got to me, and forced me to change the channel, was how Toronto could not even set up their own offence at times. That was the worst coaching I have ever seen from a top seed. I don’t mind the hand of god destroying us via sheer force of will, but I don’t accept surrendering mentally, much less not taking preparation seriously, specially when fighting a god.
Ibaka was a great post defender in the 2019 playoffs. Nick Nurse deserves so much credit for putting guys in position to succeed. We the North. We the Champions!
Mark Tubera Pretty well said brother. After years of hardships and heartbreaks, they finally overcame it and won a championship. They deserve it, they all played with heart.
I sorta feel bad for Derozan :/ But he and his team I feel are stuck in the mindloop of backing down whenever they hear the name "LeBron" ... They truly don't believe they can beat him.
Coach, lets face it; Raptors situation against Cavs is the epitome of learned helplessness. They never come up with a semi decent game plan to any match up and they don't have the personnel to deal with LBJ. The only teams which could beat Cavs this post-season were 76'ers and Bucks none of which has a decent coach. The only coach who can stop Cavs is Brad Stevens but without the two best players I don't think he can beat the Cavs all by himself.
Bbbuttersknife James Johnson is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. I amn't claiming that he is a superstar but he's one of the best role players.
Glad to hear you mention coach Casey losing his shit at such a crucial time. I've been coaching for over a decade (with a high winning %) and have noticed many coaches struggle with this aspect of the game. Your players will always reflect the coach. As always, I love this conversation.
I'm excited to see what Nick Nurse can do... He is well versed globally in Coaching which is ALWAYS a good thing as you're able to bring in different philosophies... And that coaching staff he built... Sergio Scariolo... I know he will also bring a wealth of knowledge.
I don't really like LeBron, but I've to accept he's a beast. That game 3 was all about him against Raptors. Every shot was fallin' in... I'm so impressed.
i feel like im watching video of coachnick when he analyzed how raptors got sweep bt wizards...in the end,he said coaching staff is the one to blame..and we have the same conclusion here also
Excellent analysis as usual coach Nick!!! And it's a real joke now the COY gets fired!!!! It reflects badly on all these other coaches who gave Stevens zero votes & voted Casey.
Hey coach, they must have seen the video you posted before they decided fired him.... love your work man... way more knowledgeable then these so called "experts"
This is somewhat of an oversimplification, but a lot of it boils down to this: One team has a guy who maybe a top 15-17 guy today, while the other team has a guy who is top 2 or 3 all time. The gap between Derozan & Lebron is greated than the gap between the #2's, the #3's etc on these respective teams. This is also the reason the Cavs can't beat the Warriors. Lebron is barely better than KD, but Steph, Draymond, Klay & Iggy would murder the next 4 Cavs (Love, Hill, Thompson, Korver?)
80teg you spit fax but kd isn’t close to bron talent wise yes but bron has been doing it way longer and kd chokes in key moments like when he blew that 3-1 lead and since he joined the warriors in my eyes he could never finish top 5 of all time
What about the Celtics vs Philly/Bucks? Giannis is the best player, then the next 3 guys are all celtics. Philly's young guys aren't ready -- their execution sucks.
KD could never dream of doing what Lebron is these past couple of years statistically dominant sooo much more aggressive than KD but yeah the other talent is way better especially defensively.
Barely better than KD.?? It's easy to look legendary when you play for the warriors 2 future hall of fame shooters and a DPOY KD does not need to carry a load with this team, LBJ carrying scrubs this far alone beats KD by a long shot all KD has on LeBron is scoring LBJ not a natural scorer he's an all around playmaker Kd can't even touch LeBron toes in greatness
I seriously feel bad for lowry and derozan they did so well for the whole season and they just got swept by lebron in the 2nd round, it should be really demoralizing for them
At least the Clippers swallowed their pride eventually and dismantled the team to start fresh. That's what the Raptors need. Complete overhaul. New coach, get rid of B-rate "allstars" Derozan/Lowry and go from there. I don't think it will be long now till that happens.
Archie Hung Even though the Raptors are CHOKE ARTISTS in the Postseason, the Thunder are the biggest disappointment in sports ever. The Thunder had 3 superstars in Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George but got eliminated in the 1st round against a Utah Jazz team led by a rookie.
Raptors were very good in the regular season. But this back to back sweep by the Cavaliers just proves that Derozan is not a top 10 superstar in the NBA.
@@teresa-oj9rq Injuries are a apart of the sport. if you want to go that route then, you can make the case Warriors needed injures every year to win. In 2015, the Cavs don’t have Love and Kyrie. 2017, Kawhi goes down due to being deliberately injured by the Warriors in the WCF. In 2018, Chris Paul goes down in the WCF.
This year the Raptors moved into the right direction to beat Lebron. They got one of the NBA 's best benches and shared the work load more amongst the starters. This allows each Raptor to spend more energy and tire out their opponents. In 2018, Lebron's game has improved to the point of virtually no weaknesses. The only way to stop him over the course of a seven game series is to tire him out, physically. He is prone to cramps and can win a game all by himself, but not twice in a row. More like every other game. As seen in this series. Lebron was amazing in game 4, but not like in game 3. If the Raptors' defense can lock up every other Cavalier player for 7 games, Toronto wins.
Detastic! My thoughts exactly but I think Butler already surpassed him. The other guys they mentioned haven’t even proved shit. Klay is one of the best shooters in the league and a great defender but he can’t put the ball in the floor and attack the the rim like Derozan. Derozan is also the BEST midrange player in the league.
Watching Nurse as an assistant coach is interesting, knowing a couple of years after this the Spurs will send the “fun guy” to Canada only to watch him go to Clippers after winning a champion..Siakim is now the man in Raptors..life is interesting..moral of the story don’t quit on life, the future is always bright!!! Casey is now the head coach for the Detroit Pistons!
This is a good example of how if a team knows how to defend the pick and roll, or at least knows how to not make the same basic mistakes that this Toronto team kept making, an offense the way Lebron wants to play gets so stagnated. Even though they could always beat Toronto, their offense was still 4 guys spending a lot of time standing around looking at LeBron. And it shows how well Lowry and VanFleet improved their individual games from that year to this year. Lowry is not a good shooter, but he did play well during the finals.
Very good analytics. Beats ESPN first take defending the coach. When you watch Brad Stevens it's very clearly evident the coaching staff was just overly confident in this series
@7:30. I actually agree with you here. I know DeRozan had been sitting the entire quarter, but you bring him in here. The lineup they had on the floor--mainly Vanvleet and Miles, were not proved under pressure. Replace Ibake there with DeRozan on that set, and he comes hard to the ball and he has 1 on 1 coverage with Green. He turns hard and heads to the basket. If the defense reacts, Miles steps in for the tying 3. Inexcusable.
Looking at the Raptors now, you can see how great a coach Nick Nurse is. Their defense is compact and their offense moves the ball and gets lots of drives to the basket.
Francisco Pizarro since when is 3 Finals MVPs and averaging 36/13/9 in a near FMVP in a loss "Participation trophies" let me guess MJ fan in disguise? "lol" thats laughable. when MJ only made the Finals 6 times and thru a bitch fit to get more player on his team when he didn't make it.
@xann He didn't even need a star b/c the Cavs defense shut down Pierce, Allen and Rondo. Celtics only had 84 ppg for the ECSF after they averaged 100 ppg in the regular season. Lebron pushed the Celtics to 7 games shooting a horrendous 35.5% with 5+ turnovers a game, and shot under 40% in all 3 of the Cavs' wins. Then in 2010 vs Celtics, 1 seed Cavs are up 2-1, then in the next 3 games combined Lebron averages 34% shooting with 6 turnovers a game, and the Cavs go 0-3 and get sent home
Who’s your coach of the year, Brad Stevens or Lebron

That surgeon analogy doesn’t really work if he’s killing his patient😂

Miguel Leria - LMBO!!!
As Charles Barkley would say, "The operation was a success but the patient died"
I'm pretty sure the 13th Amendment prevents LeBron from owning so many people for this long.
UnBR0k3enAngel He owns the Raptors because the 13th amendment doesn't apply in Canada
Yikes. Good joke
LMAO yooo that was a good one LOL =D omgg
The 13th Amendment doesn’t apply to an extinct species... 🦖🦕☄️
HAHAHA!! hilarious
Imagine how many times the raptors would’ve got to the finals if Lebron didn’t exist
LAKER NATION they would lose to gsw...
LAKER NATION imagine how many times they would've gotten swept by Golden State lol wow so impressed
Its better to lose early and save your energy for offseason and break time if you know you gonna get swept in the finals.
I mean when Raps played GSW twice during the season they lost by 3 points the 1st timr because GSW scored 2 threes in 15 seconds or so, and 2nd game they lost by 1 or 2 because all 10 players on the floor scrambled for the ball in the last 5 seconds and it ended up out of bounds on toronto which made GS win.

You can hate his antics and all but LeBronto is the best thing to happen this post season so far.

I said this before that Nick Nurse was coaching the bench, the year we had a bench mob. Where the bench sometimes would make the comeback for us.

But he and his team I feel are stuck in the mindloop of backing down whenever they hear the name "LeBron" ... They truly don't believe they can beat him.

They did with James Johnson but Casey had beef with him and let him go.

Lebron might leave the East, so no
They have the 4th best attendance in the NBA. I know ur a smart guy. Would u throw cash in a garbage can?
Tremendous video breakdown...keep doing more of these game breakdowns as opposed to other topics. This was awesome!
Who keeps saying LeBron ain't clutch?
Me
Unless he makes his free throws in the clutch and not miss 1 of 2, he's not the most clutch
Dash Cam Nobody said most clutch stupid
Coach, great writing. Btw, it's entertaining to hear how tough you are on the coaching staff.
Cause a team usualy has 5 assistant coaches. They are getting paid to watch courtside?
Coach slick for changing the title of this video
Excellent breakdown!!!

Looks like it
Casey got out coached every series for years. I had to watch him bench JV in the 4th Q too many times. Nick Nurse is miles better at coaching
No
He put a (then) _rookie_ to guard LeBron.
A ROOKIE! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's quite enlightening to watch this video after watching the breakdown of the Raptors current defence. No Casey, it's not just the players.

The Cavs weren’t better, the Raptors were scared. If Raptors played 100%, they would have won the series but they let LeBron get in there head.
