I thought Westbrook had a pretty solid strategy with that last shot… with time running down, aim for the clock and hope to break it.

OKC doesn't have a coach. They're the most undisciplined team I have ever watched.

okc should hire coach nick

"Curiously, no call" Ibaka's block was all hand no ball. The goaltending no call. The obvious clear path became a common foul (Fisher on Manu) These are game changing "mistakes" by the ref.

One of the greatest breakdown you've done Coach. Thanks!

OKC is undisciplined... gotta fire scott brooks

Finally a new video! And a longer one too!

2017 November: Scott Brooks is fired, Ibaka is gone, Spurs do struggle a bit to reload, Warriors sign a big free agent called Kevin Durant. Btw missed these long breakdowns without seatgeek

That 2014 Finals was an epic beatdown.

I love these videos. Westbrook in overtime killed the Thunder's chances. *BTW, that vine video is a classic.

Amazing breakdown. Hopefully the Spurs can take the ship this year. A lot of people forget they themselves lost it last year and are a better squad this year with a sour taste. Hopefully Parker is close to 100%.

I almost had to vomit when i heard Avery Johnson on Espn today talk about what a great job Scott Brooks is doing and how he still believes that they can get it done with Brooks as their head coach, i really don't get it why ppl try to defend this man so much he has a stacked team and they still don't get it done in the postseason. I look at the Thunder's bench and i see a ton of talent, that just wasn't used properly by Scott Brooks, sure you can't hope for these guys to have much success doing isolations or shooting tough contested 3s, like the ones Durant and Westbrook take constantly, but i didn't think the Spurs bench was much better in terms of talent, its just that Pop put these lesser players in positions to succeed and Brooks didn't which was why the bench was so ineffective. Playing Durant and Westbrook 45 minutes a game will not lead to success, period! Look at the Miami heat, their bench isn't that much better in my opinion either, but Spoelstra understands how to get these role players to produce on both ends of the court, which again is something Brooks can't do. For example i didn't understand why he didn't use Perry Jones hardly at all, the guy can play or how does it happen that Sefolosha goes from being a starter to not even playing for them, just because he couldn't hit the couple wide open looks he got at the beginning of the series, to me it was coaching criminality how Brooks managed that bench and his rotation or lack thereof, that's just not championship worthy in my opinion. I felt for the OKC player after the game caus they clearly gave it their all, so i hope that they will get rid of Scott Brooks and hire someone that will push them to that next level.

the refs helped okc so much and they stil lost

I don't wanna hear excuses about Durant being exhausted... last season a 35 year old Kobe was playing 48 minutes a game for like a month

I want you guys to imagine OKC with an amazing coach... it would be so nice.

Amazing in depth analysis. Thank you for all the quality videos.

Another great analysis & breakdown, thank you coach Nick!

OKC showed as much poise in this game as houston did in the last couple games against the spurs

Dude you're brilliant. Sweet video!

One of the best videos that u have made, coach.. The spurs are the smartest team!! OKC needs to learn from the mistakes they make every single year... #Imin

7:04 haaaaa i screamed

WHOO! I've been waiting for you to use this song over your breakdown vids again Coach Nick! Love it

This is much better than anything on any sports network. Great work.

This is one of the videos I really enjoyed that broke down tbe okc offense. Some great points made coach. This is so far no disrespect to you coach one of the better videos thati have seen that looked like you were very eager to do and looked like u put in time and effort in. Great videoa coach!!!!

Good video.

Great breakdown, would love to see more play-by-plays like this.

And then Lamarcus Aldridge was signed....

that up and under move by duncan at 10:20 was a travel , shuffled pivot foot

I'm sorry but OKC's mistakes made me laugh. "WESTBROOK!!!!THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE WAS OPEN!!!!" I'm glad they lost, cause my finals dream is gonna come true.

great breakdown once again coach nick! keep 'em coming!

Great breakdown! Love the Playoffs!

Nice breakdown coach...more please.

people need to notice that kd's off the ball movement is terrible. he doesnt move at all he stalls at the 3pnt line waiting for the ball

Where's the Heat/Pacers video...just like to see your breakdown of it.

I love these videos and am sad you don't seem to do them anymore. It's the type of thing that's done so well and so thorough I would honestly pay like five bucks to rent it in the old days.

Hey! Very good and intuitive videos! It would be very interesting if you could make a "prediction video" for the finals - pointing out weaknesses and strengths of the respective teams and guessing the teams strategies for success. It would be nice to have it as a mental milestone to compare with when the series start. Again very good videos thx

Appreciate the work Coach Nick. #ImIn

Amazing video. Subscribed. You should do semi and finals breakdown or coaching mistakes every year. Guarantee everyone would love it!

Awesome as always Coach!

worth the wait for this great video! great job coach, never disappointing as usual

That video was vintage Coach Nick. Well done!

love how you break it down.

I love these bball breakdowns. Very interesting.

It's really easy to find faults in a team's execution after viewing slow mo replays. Good job coach.

love coach nick!!!

Classic Breakdown music is back!

Possibly your best video yet coach!!! Love it!!! How long have you been doing this anyway? I'm in

OKC totally ruined the refs' effort to extend this series. lol. the missed foul call on duncan, the goaltend, russ' carry at 11:00

A phenomenal breakdown as usual.

Great Video Coach :)

Great breakdown Coach!

so glad I see your video at the end of the day!!

Watching this in 2020. It's crazy how you completely foretold the future of the Thunder here.

16 minutes, wow!!! BBallbreakMOVIE!!

Duncan getting away with the illegal screen on Fisher makes up for the two previously blown calls that hurt the Spurs. It all evens out.

That vine tho ahahah

That lance meme was priceless.

Any plans to do Game 6 of the ECFs? Ha or I guess there was nothing to really talk about ha. I was pretty curious what you thought on some more of Lance's antics in the game and that slap to Norris Cole (which looked intentional to me because of the look on Lance's face) I love your channel, coach, keep up the good work!

Might as well freeze myself and thaw myself out 200 years later where the Heat won't win back to back to back to back championships.

15:44, boy did we find out in the exact next season after lmaoo....

Great breakdown coach. Proud to be a fan.

Do you ever rest coach ! Thanks for this video ! Most people don't work on Sundays !

been waiting for this video since yesterday. :)

excellent analysis

This win felt so good as a spurs fan considering how hard the refs were trying to send the series back to San Antonio. Not even the refs can stop us!!

Nice analysis! Just a side note: At 5:40 the "missed goaltending" was actually correctly called. The ball was blocked when it was still below the level of the ring. Therefore it doesn't matter whether it has touched the backboard or not.

Hey Coach! Great video, nice input as always. Will there be anything about the Game 6 of ECF? Would love to hear some of your bashing. ^^

haha stephenson face lol nice one coach

Hey coach can i ask 1 question. What program did you use to record the game footage?

This is such a good video

wow, coach nick! i think u should coach an nba team or something in that level! u're awesome!

Coach Nick. Can you please use this instrumental playing here or the song from the old BASKETBALLBREAKDOWN channel's analysis of the Phoenix Suns pick & roll for the Finals? They're awesome! Or would you happen to have the title of the song from the Pheonix video lying around somewhere?

Coach Pop should hire you as an assistant, LOL.

Nickpicking i see what you did there haha

That was the best review I have seen on any two team in the post-season by single-handedly picking apart possession after possession and exposing the strengths and weakness of both ball clubs. In this case you really wonder who is in charge of OKC - the players, coaching staff, or just have the players thrown into a fire and let them put it out on their own. It really doesn't make sense. I give a lot of credit to the spurs organization for placing fundamental team-work and playmaking as priority. This year it paid off. As a side-note - I used to play with a team-mate much like a westbrook in a Filipino basketball league - And they are not fun to play for. You will never see the ball in your hand, and you don't care if the ball goes in at a certain point. You almost expect it, because how often the ball is in their hands, which also means at the end of games too - whether it is a good idea or bad idea. These two teams are the perfect antithesis in the post-season

Hahahaha, that blow by Lance tho! HAHAHA

Hi Coach, this video is awesome, do you mind if i add some translation(subtitles) and share it on a chinese forum?

They have an even bigger problem of not even trying to get Serge Ibaka involved in the offense when he is perfectly capable of knocking down some shots.

Can you pretty please do a video on your predictions on the NBA Finals with clips from the Miami vs Spurs matchup?

Coach, can you make a review about the indiana pacers in earley season and the lastest games of the season and the post season to compare?

Did anyone else the small-ball line up of Ginobli, Bellinelli, Diaw, Leonard and Green in OT? I hope Pop runs more of that group against the Heat. Would be fun to watch.

Coach, do a preview of the finals, please!!!!!!

coach...do you remember the time you claimed TD should retire

this channel makes me smarter :)

I miss the old hardwood backdrop LOL

At the end of the video, Coach Nick says one of the Thunder's best hopes is to wait until the Spurs get too old. The very next season, the Warriors got Steve Kerr as coach, and they turned from a good playoff-level team into a super flame-throwing team that's nearly unstoppable. The Spurs are getting older, but OKC will have a hard time getting to the Finals because the young Warriors are now the new kings on the block. Which is perhaps why Durant is considering joining them.

If OKC somehow gets Rondo they will be the best team in the NBA hands down

Takes 6 seconds to hit the top of the backboard lol, classic.

great video! I'M IN

OKC at one time had: Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Green and Ibaka. They would had been champs if they stayed together.

It's embarrasing how good OKC are considering how badly they're coached (embarrasing for Brooks that is).

Coach Nick, if you had the chance to be an assistant coach in the NBA Finals, which of the two teams would be?

Great vid Nick, I'm a clippers fan but happy the spurs one the championship, they truly deserved it. Definitely the smartest and best passing team in the league, as displayed here and coach pop is just a genius. You're absolutely right, OKC lack the decision making skills to be a true championship team which is why they have come close recently, but choked in finals. Can't wait to see more of Khawi in the future, he's a huge talent. In my opinion OKC need to get rid of Brooks, and go for a fresh start coaching wise. Keep up the great work coach. :)

Coach Nick, why dont you coach OKC?

on a scale of 1 to 10, what are the chances that okc ownership / management either replaces scott brooks with a better head coach or gets better assistant coaches during this offseason? -5?

For me Westbrook and Durant need a coach who could implement plays with multiple actions so if the first play does not work then another one can be ran. Brooks plays have one motion and if it fails then ISO ball comes immediately. People saying trade Westbrook for Rondo just stop he would not make this team better. He is a complete non threat to score unless he has a hot game which would put even more pressure on KD. Thunder need a legit 3rd option who can create (ex. Harden) not another PG.

Great breakdown as usual coach. I also wanted to tear out my eyeballs at the lack of any basketball IQ shown on the part of OKC in the final minutes of this game. What prevented me from doing so was the beautiful offense of the Spurs. I also just heard the news that Durant is backing coach Brooks. What is your opinion on as to why Durant doesn't see how bad Brooks is as a coach? I think the reason is not basketball related. I think Durant sees Brooks as a father figure. I could be wrong. What do you think is the reason coach? I also just want to say that, in my opinion, Gregg Popovich is one of the top 3 coaches of all time in the NBA, if not the best. To take a group of "not superstars" (at this stage of their careers), to another finals appearance is an unbelievable accomplishment. If I'm not mistaken, they have more than 10 straight 50 win seasons. Just unbelievable. Truly a great coach to have a bunch of great players perform at a great level for so long. I'm not a Spurs fan, but I hope they win.

where's the vid for game 6 eastern finals? :[

Coach, do you think Lionel Hollins would be a suitable coach for OKC who can bring them to the promised land? Greetings from the Netherlands!

Can someone pleeeeeease tell me where i caan fin that Background music!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!
