even if they get swept. JT just gets even more experience regardless whiles hes fully emerging into superstardom.
I think they can win game or two. If only JB was healthy that would have been fun series
Celtics are gonna show that Nets have real issues just like the Mavs did for the Clippers last year
@@geordiejones5618 lol nah brother
JT already has alot experience in the playoffs. Now that JT and JB are expensive, the Celtics have lost all their depth. Danny Ainge messed up and lost horford and Hayward for nothing.
@@BurritoKingdom That dynasty the Celtics thought was gonna be built off Brooklyn’s picks never happened
Idk coach seems like Jayson Tatum wanted to win it
Enjoy the Nets, I am going to see KD Kyrie and Harden drop 90 points on game 1
@@shengcheng7562 so what? shits called competitiveness, i'd much rather get absolutely raped in the first playoff round by brooklyn than not play.
(coming from a portland fan, who is painfully used to early exits, and still i'd much rather lose to brooklyn than not play them at all)
@@shengcheng7562 I dont think so
@@leonhardable I much rather had faced the sixers
That's uncharacteristic
The quality of this content is so underrated. Not only the professional production, but the masterful insight. I’m a hoop head, and I miss 90 percent of what coach sees in these games. Thanks for all you do. Wishing enormous success for you.
can't be a hoop head only seeing 10%
The amount of Celtics bias he has is kinda crazy, I don’t think he credited Tatum once for dropping 50 and spent the whole video talking about how it was only defensive errors
@@anandparikh4027 He mentions it at 9:44.
Also, taking advantage of defensive errors is a big part of the game. You’re supposed to punish teams in those instances. If anything, that’s a compliment as the Celtics were playing the right way.
If you like him, you're going to love coach Daniel. Much in-depth analysis and not overly dramatic. Check him out.
Nick is a big celtics hater he can't say anything positive about them
Ish is a baller. I got to see him on the warriors back when he was a rookie and I remember thinking "This dude is a speed demon"
Yessir crazy to see these players ball in real life
i’m a celtics fan and i definitely wanted us to win. might as well just take on the nets and see what we can do.
Y’all getting swept
@@DK-gl3ih ok i don’t really care
GL against King Ghidorah. Jayson Tatum is your Godzilla.
Probably lose in 4, maybe 5 if you're lucky
@@DK-gl3ih i am not even a celtics fan but seriously, any other 5-8th seed team would get swept by the nets so whats your point? The celtics are not healthy anyway so no one is expecting a miracle out of them, it should be a fun KD vs Tatum matchup, thats all!
Bertans has never been known as a good defender (not very quick footed for example), so I was surprised by that defensive sequence on Tatum.
He was always an ok defender. You just cant put him against smaller guards.
@@markpagtama7954 yeah. dude is good help defender. He is sneaky athletic but can't be on quick guards
It's just the casual racism in the nba. White players are never good defenders because they are white
@@JayzsMr stop bringing up race in sports lol
@@gp7944 it's a fact in your country, you can't see beyond the skin colour.
Every white player is a bad defender automatically
4:09 really thought Coach would drop his Manscape ad. 😂
It sure would have been a great setup for the manscape ad 🤣
LMAO - that would've been perfect. But GO GET YOUR 20% off Manscaped NOW: bit.ly/34CSkfx
Can you hear my head moving up and down and smiling while i look this video?
YES
By the advanced metrics Bertans was actually the best defender on my Spurs before we traded him. Miss him here, and a shame that the team that has him isn't using his incredible defense to its full extent. He's way more than just a good 3pt shooter.
cant tell if ur joking, bertans played awful defense this season, and his shooting is hella inconsistent. Take him back!!!
@@tahsinahmed7585 He’s not good against more talented/quicker guards but he can stay infront of most wings and is a good team/help defender. Not everybody has to be a lockdown perimeter defender.
@@tahsinahmed7585 Legit wtf lmao. This man gives guards a free HoF Ankle Breaker with a +10 to the off the dibble jumper
Learned more in 5 minutes of this video than I have in years of watching talking heads like SAS and Barkley get paid millions to say the same old cliches without any sort of insight.
Thanks for being IN!
9:42 “let Tatum do this to you”
*Nick where?*
It was so gruesome, it had to be censored. Tatum was just too cold
Apparently Tatum just black screens you?
I want to love Westbrook, I really do. His athletics ability, the shining moments of passing and defense are rare at his position and level. Damn can he drive you crazy though lol!
Thats why im a hater
@@jeanxza5395 😂😂
I don’t know... Tatum and Kemba wanted the Nets with the way they played
Kemba vs Kyrie. Smart vs Harden. JT vs Durant. If their bigs are committed to be the villians of the series, yeah, they gonna try on upsetting the Nets.
I swear lmfaoo Tatum was on mamba mode
@@carlpatrickragas2159 I believe the wizards in a series had a way better chance vs the nets because kyrie would’ve been a liability. He’s too small for Westbrook and the wizards are good at rebounding. Wizards are 8th in rebounds and the Celtics are 15th, also it doesn’t matter how good the Celtics play defense they’re not gonna outscore the nets. The wizards are 3rd in offense so they would’ve had a possible chance of winning at least 2 games maybe 3. Now what happened between the Celtics vs wizards I’ll say was a very bad game by everybody and it happens idk if they tried to avoid the nets or what.
@@russellwestbrook9707 Wizards play at the highest pace in the league while the Cs are in the bottom 10. Those totals do not tell the whole story. Cs actually have a fairly decent edge when it comes to actual rebounding percentages, Offensive and Defensive(not that this would have actually made much of a difference anyway). And the Wizards offense is only ranked 17th fam. You’ve got to account for pace of play when talking about Offense and Defense. PPG and PPGA doesn’t tell you a whole lot. Nets would’ve obliterated the Wiz, atleast the Celtics have some ability to match up with the Nets Big 3 defensively with Smart, Tatum and guys like Ojeleye if their on their A game.
@@TheMissinLink makes sense
First time watching ur videos. Fantastic. Great insight.
Awesome thanks! Welcome to the conversation. I'm in!
6:05 That’s what she said 😢
{laughing while experiencing coughing symptoms from severe 🤧 allergies}
The 76ers aren't that much more favorable as an opponent
They are cuz Nets are on a whole nother level this would be easier
My new favorite basketball channel
idk what goes through Russ' mind sometimes. Has everything to be a top player but his decision making is mind blowing
Literally the worst all time. Idk what happens to him with 4 minutes left but its shocking. I remember back in okc seeing him just ignore everyone on the court to pull up and miss or just turn the ball over again and again. Kd was always so frustrated and the simple solution should've been to give kd the ball every possession under 4 minutes and get out the way. I feel as if westbrook gets too emotional too passionate about closing out games, causing him to be irrational in his decision making late in games. HOF player but definitely can't win championships with him unless he realizes this. Okc should've been a dynasty. There is a reason he has went on team after team and failed to advance. Literally the lowest iq ever in crunch time.
@@intendedexpression6609 I really want to like him, his work ethic is unreal but it's just so hard when he takes contested pull up 3 pointers with the shot clock at 20
All he has is his athletic and has handles. No shot no iq.
he has low bball IQ, just super athletic.
Man oh man, when I saw that we picked Westbrook up and I had to deal with his spin the wheel play style I wanted to cry. I used to cringe watching him on other teams. He is literally the guy that hawks the score keeper when the games over😂.
The Wiz absolutely crushing the Pacers tonight shows they just didnt wanna face the nets. Don't blame em
Yes coach, we can hear you shaking your head
I agree with you coach that they should have doubled Tatum but in certain possessions it would be quite difficult. Say in 6:10 if Westbrook goes to double, and Nesmith flashes to the open space in the middle and Tatum hits him, Lopez is left to guard 2 on 1. And if Matthews comes down to help, unless they rotate in time, itll be an open corner 3. Tatum hit a tough shot at 6:10. So again I agree they should have doubled but it depends on the personnel on the floor and spacing
Tatum can’t pass for sht and doesn’t want to either. May as well try to double and see what happens, hope he forces tough shots
I’ll take that double make them players prove that they can hit shots I’ll rather it be someone than the best player cuz look at when they didn’t double now they gotta play the pacers tmr
I agree with both your points. But my point is that you can't double on every single possession. Offenses will adapt and tear you apart if you throw the same defensive coverage every single time.
@@MambaDetail tru cuz brad steven is a great coach
@@MambaDetail they should've doubled him on a lot of possession, JB isn't there.
Love these videos coach keep up the great work my friend 🏀🙏
Imagine if Bertans just actually had 1st team level defense this whole time
lol
Coach who you got winning, Wizards or Pacers?
I honestly think that play-in game and this Brooklyn series are the kicks in the ass JT needed to realize his full potential. Being a scorer and being a leader are two very different things, and I think the Brooklyn series and, to a lesser extent, the play-in game, will help him see that more clearly.
coach, what did you think about the quality of this game? I thought it was ugly. looked more like a preseason game than a post season game in my opinion. guys were so sloppy i wondered if the teams were putting down margaritas before playing.
totally ugly - except for the Tatum highlights and that one spin move from Beal that was WOW
felt like beal and wb didn't want to win at all.
i agree with you 100% memphis spurs game was totally different.
9:50 ish - curious coach, when is spraining your ankle necessary??
3:53 that's Rob Williams or Marcus Smart depending on which screen you're taking about, not Thompson. TT wasn't even on the floor.
Could you do a video about the questionable calls in the Warriors Lakers game?
Well westbrick stayed true to his craft, bricked away another game that really mattered not unlike the regular season games where there is less pressure!
Westbrook was not aggressive at all, just handing the ball off and moving out of his range.
I love Westbrook, but he literally ain’t clutch. There’s no other way to say it
@@2kmichaeljordan438 this is literally a false statement.
Just say you love sucking off other players, and be done with it. Every call went the Celtics way all night. Their entire team was in foul trouble. Westbrook and Beal can't do this alone.
@@inFamous_Izanagi cry
as soon as you said “the level of skill last night...” i knew it was the advertisement 🤣
Russ and Scott Brooks all over again.
Yup.gif
some things never change
What happened today 🧙♂️?
@@sankeerthkoshy61 they beat the 9th seed in the east
@@sankeerthkoshy61 the wizards were that 8th seed team youre referencing though lol. And the point of my original comment is that its not the first time that russ/brooks have done this
I think coach mentioned it at the end here. Russ wasn't motivated to win, he doesn't want to go get swept by KD. He had no drive, he's already gotten the triple double record this year, what does he care
9:34 that closeout
10:24 what a conspiracy theory🤣
@1:43, that's actually Chandler Hutchison, not Rui
peeps do get confuse on both of them, they look alike haha.
the intros give me chills every time
Kemba and Tatum went hot on the wizards
I think any teams playing the top 3 seeds in the east are already fucked. Bucks, sixers and nets are easily potential finals bound teams.
You are the best
I honestly thought both teams were going to try and lose to avoid a match-up with the Nets.
now why would the wiz do that if russ losses to embiid his arch rival it will sting as much as losing to durant and celtics honestly can't dodge either of there divisional rivals it would be pointless
"Head scratcing match" Cuts to Westbrook scratching his head lol
I agree on Russ having a bad game, making terrible decisions, leaving a bad look. But to imply he didn't want to win was too much. This is bball "breakdown" not bball "storytelling". The slander is fun, yet unprofessional, something this channel should try to avoid in my opinion.
Yet more content subtlety putting down the 76ers. Lol. Cheers coach
I almost feel bad for Russ. He clearly gave it his all in this game, had an off night and now is pointed as being a big part of the loss (which he ofc is, given the role he has on the team). But to construct sth like lack of support out of him leaving early is ridiculous. He was so frustrated, mostly with his own game I'd suppose, after the amazing stretch he had to have a stinker right in this so important game. That must've frustrated him so much. But I hope he'll bounce back and help them to crush the Pacers and play a competetive first round. An oh coach, do you really think Russ wanted to lose to avoid playing KD? He would've loved that I imagine
2:24 - "potatum"
Coach Nick, Cover how the blazers held Jokic to only 1 assist in game 1
You had me worried that you weren't gonna s#!+ on Smart for the 1000th time, but you came through
unrelated but i just met this guy at a bar mitzvah, he was pretty cool. even though the celtics are gonna get swept, i'll be excited to see tatum explode vs the nets.
I'm not buying that either team would throw a guaranteed playoff spot away just to hopefully get to play the 1 seed 76ers instead. No team would intentionally lose to put themselves into a win or go home game for a chance to play a 1 seed instead of a 2. Teams that low in the standings who risk missing the playoffs entirely don't think that way. Nick says a lot of insightful things, but that was just dumb.
How tf is that dumb it’s taking consideration that even tho the 6ers got the number seed we all know who’s the number one team in the east and pacers are a injured team that we beat 3-0
@@imhimdk1785 If the Wizards lose to the pacers I'll be sure to come back to this comment and you can tell me all about how they lost on purpose and ended up missing the playoffs. We're not talking about a team like the Clippers throwing a game to play who they want in the playoffs when they're already locked, we're talking about a team who is 1 game away from not making it at all when they had a chance to clinch. Use your brain man. The wizards with an injured Beal would've gotten blown out just like the Hornets the way the Pacers were shooting last night.
@@01BLSP4Y ofc but the thing is think about they have room for error cuz they know they still have another chance and have film to fix issues like rotations and etc. It will be way diffrent if they was the 9/10 cuz theres no second chances and they wouldve been sitting home like charlortte with that bad performance
@@01BLSP4Y im a russ fan i understand the blame cuz that was a bad performance cuz he shot bad and is the leader and they rub off on him. But it also has to do with rhe coaching and energy from the tge players who just gave up
1:46 that's not Rui coach. It's Hutchison.
@ 1:48 thats not Rui 😂
great video, but davis bertanes ainn't no "athletic big"
No breakdown for the Spurs grizzlies game ?
"spraining his ankle unnecessarily " -- dude you really have a problem with Smart. I mean that stuff is so out of a players control, no need to blame him for his own injury.
That was in his control. By trying to be extra physical with Beal, despite Beal’s back turned to the hoop and in a none threatening position, smart is in a suboptimal position
If this dude knows so much about Basketball why isn't he coaching in the NBA?
Anyone can make game breakdown videos
@@bballbreakdown Nick doesn't like him just because Smart mentally and physically broke his Raptors in every playoff series in the past 5 years like Bane did to Batman
@jaydexe Marcus Smart chase down block on Norman Powell seals game 7
Brad Stevens needs to either incorporate ball movement or more of it (back) into the Celtics' system. They don't have much depth and they're missing key guys. It can't just be on Tatum and Kemba to carry them. Fournier needs to play better too.
Ive watched so many of his videos that i can anticipate him going into the ads.
Why aren’t you coaching in the NBA coach? You seem to know what your talking about.
Bertans was guarding him in Q4 and didn't do well
Daily reminder that Jesus loves yall amen

Appreciate the reminder my guy.
Romans 5:6-8 “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Tatum always does this he sucks in the first two quarters and then pops off by mid 3rd quarter. He's like a roller coaster at this point.
The more I watch this, the more I think Brooks low key threw away this game. Tatum was scoring all day off the mismatch from the pick and roll and Brooks did nothing to correct it.
Westbrooks 3-point shooting mechanics are diabolically bad for anyone in the NBA never mind a point guard
Ok coach i like this but Robin Lopez is legit the modern day kareem. Dude is unstoppable with that move and gets like 3 of them a game.

@@metal3543 😂😂
Thank you, Coach !! This analysis was on point. I don’t think these two teams are playoffs caliber. Even the Celtics are a mess ...
True - without Brown, they're a shell of a team
@@bballbreakdown Even with Brown, they have a big hole in that center position. Robert Williams is not a threat outside the arc. I think Draymond Green could be a perfect fit for them. He helped the Warriors a lot with his basketball IQ.
@@othmanbelhaj3694 only like 4 centers in the league are really a "threat" from outside the arc. Robert williams is great but he is a bit weak right now, and more importantly he can't stay on the court. He still has fantastic upside though. Our gaurd play for most of this season has been our biggest weakness, not our center. As for draymond, I agree. Though thats not surprising since draymond is just a great player that would be great for almost every team.
Kinda weird not having the usual outro
Dont think Bertans was the Solution on Tatum. I dont think he can get through off Ball screens Or Even on ball screens. In ISO he may be OK though
I think the point was that they didn't have a real solution to Tatum but Bertans was still a much better option than an injured/undersized Bradley Beal
@@Alex-kd5xc yeah people don’t even know that Beal is actually pretty short he’s 6’3
Smart "sprains his ankle unnecessarily" asvif he did it on purpose
I think Marcus smart slept with his wife or something he hates him so much
@@busselfie6480 HAHA
Nobody wanted the 7th and 8th seeds in most years either but they have to because playoffs mean more games and more exposure baby
Anybody else see them hunting bertans on JT in the clutch? Like every time whoever Bertans was guarding it feels like they screened for JT.
Just went back through all of his shots - this simply did not happen at all. Only twice did they get bertans on him - one was a good contest that I showed and the other was in the 4th that I also showed - a TOUGH step back 3
@@bballbreakdown oh idk maybe it just felt like it live then... my bad
I totally agree on your point that if anyone wants to up their game they should attend a pgc camp I've attended once myself for a whole week and it was by far the most detailed and challenging camp that I ever went too completely opened my mind and my game
the smart hate is always there.. can you hear me shaking my head?
Lopez n Hutchinson not Rui...just an observation
RW just didn't wanna play against his buddies in the 1st round lol
I feel like the Tatum dunking on Lebron in the playoffs was the pinnacle of this squad.
Tatum scores 50. Coach Nick: “I don’t think either team was interested in winning.”
Ish Smith is historically a Celtics killer. Always plays his best in those games.
JT's dribbling and footwork is elite. He just needs to work on his release to make it quicker & more fluid.
His release works well for him because of his height. That high and awkward release lets him get it up over smaller defenders and get enough power when he's doing sidesteps and fadeaways.
i see. But i just imagine him having like a melo type release. That would be a blitz 😂 and a nightmare to defend.
@@ZupDrake that would be a pretty bad shot for him tbh. Bc although it's faster, there's no way to really get it off in a midrange post fade type scenario. Plus u bring it so low on the release, its easy to block. That shot rlly only works for Melo and Trae Young
@jaydexe he has improved on his finishing lol.. Tatum 3 feet to the Rim is Shooting at 73.5% while last season was 61%....
All westbrook fans should watch this video for a clear demonstration of how his bad decision making costs teams wins in the playoffs and dont call Coach Nick a hater, all talk about westbrick having the biggest heart and playing with the most intensity should be silenced, its annoying af!
Relax bro
@@yuno6097 dont overreact bro
@@basketballworldreactions4761 I think everyone knows westbrook is stupid
The play-in makes no sense!!!
The NBA and the media is trying to fabricate interest and say that it creates excitement. It does not! Teams who want to be in the playoffs will be there and no matter how you extend the net to try and get top 10 teams interested, if they are not interested then you'll see underwhelming games as you did yesterday. It only put the teams who want to be in the playoffs at risk of injury which further could jeopardize the interest of the actual playoffs.
The play-in and it rules are very randon as well. Why have the 7th play the 8th at all. Why not have the 7th play the 10th and the 8th play the 9th and have the top seed only needing to beat the lower seed once while the lower seed needing to beat the top seed twice. That makes more sense to me rather than having the teams that earn the top spot playing each other. None of it makes sense, just hype and no substance.
Coach Nick I been a big supporter of yours for a good while. But you just questioned Russ’ drive and said he wasn’t supporting his teammates. That’s literally the only no-no for me. He had a bad game and was upset by that. It happens. Russ ain’t the first guy to walk off the court early either. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t support his teammates.
"Should I make a video slandering Russ or Celtics/Smart? Why not both?" Bballbreakdown before making this video probably
Russ was like “I am calling KD, I gotta join the Nets!”
Unless he magically transformed into a 7 foot centre the Nets don't need him.
I don't like westbrick but I wanted him to win this damn game because i wanted KD vs Westbrick

New Jersey... er... Brooklyn cannot and do not defend. If I’m Boston, I prefer the Nets to the Sixers in terms of a match up. Washington doesn’t defend, either, so neither the Nets nor Sixers are a good match-up for them.
Only thing keeping me sane is hoping Russ threw this game to ensure not facing Brooklyn because if he didn’t, then boy oh boy I don’t know if I can take another season of choking in the playoffs
Wizards would rather play the Pacers for the 8th seed than meet the Nets in the Playoffs
They would defenetly want to win because the series vs the pacers is 1 game and they can easily lose it
They were trying to copy the Clippers and not face the Nets in the first round.
ah yes. the russ haters have come out. 1 bad game and all the haters are coming out of their shell after he willed the wizards to the 8th spot

Ball is gathered with left foot down. That makes the right foot the pivot, which doesn't move until he legally jumps into the air to release the shot. Totally legal
@@bballbreakdown Interesting. To me it looks like his left foot is his pivot because he takes two steps with his right foot. If you're saying that his right foot is planted as he turns left shoulder, then it's even more of a travel since he takes 4 steps after that.
