NBA Playoffs: Heat vs Bulls Game 1 - LeBron & Wade Didn't Come To Play

[patrickconners]

they played the next 4 in a row

[136Warriors]

@bballbreakdown I'm guessing that Nike has asked to hand over any copies of Lebron James getting blocked?

[Christusolus]

Dude, you know a lot about basketball! Subscribed

[Dreamewalker]

4:47 is a great example of how D Wade approachs situations like a tape that plays out in his head. As soon as the defense does something he doesn't expect...he badly botches it. He does this all the time.

[churroz4life]

5:38 lebron travels

[Dreamewalker]

@churroz4life Yea. I mean, I could be like it's too fast to call in real time or that Lebron's body is just too big to have good footwork but it's Lebron...he's supposed to be the NBA's next big thing and he deserves to be stoned for this crap. You can't fuck up something that every single basketball player from the weekend warriors to the top professionals are drilled on since they were a fetus, footwork and ballhandling.

[churroz4life]

Love the camera angle of Taj's poster on D-wade

[habibygun]

i hav a question. can you explain to me or make a video showing what a loose ball/over the back foul is?

[rockfan96channel]

@habibygun i can tell you, loose ball is like when you hit someone in a scramble for a loose ball, and over the back is bumping someone in mid air going for a rebound

[cubsfanatic1]

lol carlos boozer did something nasty to his mom and sister. wtf is up with his. i can tell he never played high level basketball in his life

[krislink2322]

bballbreakdown I am around 5'8 and I dunk whenever I play. I'm part of college's ball team and my extravagant dunking attracts everybody attending (esp the girls lol). It actually was legitimately extremely easy, I simply implemented the one-of-a-kind workout from (50-inch-vertical(dot)com) - you can do it too!

NBA Playoffs: Heat vs Bulls Game 1 - LeBron & Wade Didn't Come To Play

[MrBenToT1973]

check this guy is bias...... you damn men....

[HuRR1CaNeS324]

I love your videos and you have good creditability , but you bias against the HEAT is disgusting....

I wish i could see breakdowns when we actually win and play god to see what you say. But that aint happening because ive said this about 50 times already lol.

[bettydaw1970]

gibson is very good, but that wade dunk was overrated..wade was backpedling on a 3-1...

[enc0re707]

Nice Job Budd! Still waiting for the breakdown of game 2- when Bron shitted on da Bulls

[RAVENakaBIRDIE]

@enc0re707 Haa that game was luck man rose barely attacked the defense .

[enc0re707]

@RAVENakaBIRDIE Im telling you man, i very well see the bulls going down 3-1. Overall, i say Heat in 6.

[xWesselz]

a lot of this may be true but there is no way to know what was going on without playing the game yourself, both teams play great defense too so it may have caused a lot of problems for all of them

[Joethomas1547]

Game two lebron and wade came to play!!!

[KingGamer25]

The king was here.

[tkmania44]

LOL LEBRICK A FCKING FAG FAG N1GGER CHINK

[heavyrain24]

@tkmania44 CORRECT

[svd0000]

you should be the coach of miami heat

[averkin123]

BOSH is the only reason i love Miami heat = )

[soulg77]

Nice break down of Game 1, unfortunately I wasn't able to watch it.

Just wondering though, are you also going to break down the WCF games as well? or are you just going to stick with the ECF?

[bballbreakdown]

@soulg77 We'll be breaking down tonight's game tomorrow!!

[holyshuang]

Coach Nick, is this one of your reverse psychology that you make Bulls look like a underdog? It seems to me that Heat are in more trouble than the Bulls. When you have 3 men that would take more than 70~80% of the shots, wouldn't you feel that they are screwed down the stretch??

Wouldn't you feel that coach Thibodeau would live with Wade & LeBron's outside shots? As long as those 2 guys are out of the paint, I really don't see any other way the Heat can win.

I really like your channel, btw.

[bballbreakdown]

@holyshuang Thanks! I just think LeBron and Wade are going to come out killing them in Game 2 - probably getting some (possibly BS) foul calls that weren't called in Game 1....

[Zangboy56]

heat will still win. james will kill them next game

[2pacisthebest90]

@Zangboy56 no they wont bulls in 4.

[590221010]

Hey Coach nick glad you are back on youtube, I hate watching video's on facebook because it takes a long time to load and if you want to go back to some parts its hard to and you can't be as precise.

Did you and NBA negotiate something out?

[halowafflebrains]

Cheat suck. LeISO and Dwhistle are useless when they don't dominate the ball for 20+ seconds of the shotclock and get every single foul call. Good thing their No.1 option Bosh carried them

[Simonerrer]

Coach Nick you are awesome!

[bballbreakdown]

@Simonerrer Thanks! Lots more coming up!

[scapicoco]

The Heat will bounce back... It's game 1, there's a long way to go.... and remember, it's always easier to lose game 1 in United Center than in American Airlines Arena... it's a blow out though, lol... but these Heat guys can bounce back for sure - if they so choose to... they're so lame in this one...

Nice one, as always coach nick... looking forward for the Western breakdown...

[1Vurgas1]

@scapicoco

yeah funny how everything in basketball is dealt in superlatives. one win can be build up to such a big circus and expectations. and a loss can mean the end of the world. still i think the bulls will win this series, but there still`ll be bulls fans crying, whining and cursing the heat at some point.

[gryd999]

Noah is a BEAST....great defender

in my eyes the best defender

[rp50175n]

COACH, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

[babyfaceassassin21]

@bballbreakdown yeah after what you saw in game 1 is not the miami that we know!!! if bulls can play like that for 4 straight games then they will win but do you think they can do that over and over again??? have you seen game 4 of mavs and lakers??? even dream team can be beaten with that kind of game by mavs but of course they cant do that on all their game

[AnAProductions151]

Lebron traveled at 0:40

[HDBlazers7]

I love chicagos system. They have really grown defensively cause of coach T and look how far they are in the playoffs. They came to play!

[bballbreakdown]

@HDBlazers7 I agree - Thibs knows how to teach it. And there's so much room to improve offensively, it's scary. If they break through this year, how many more championships can they win?

[HDBlazers7]

@bballbreakdown Ahh thats tough coach but im think 3-4. If they get another scorer that can play defense that will be amazing because he will become better at both ends.

[Kb24andDRose]

Noah´s one of the best defenders i´ve ever seen

[bballbreakdown]

@Kb24andDRose He is great - now if he could just tweak it a little bit so he doesn't overhelp at times, he could really awesomely terrific.

[babyfaceassassin21]

heat vs thunder in the finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bballbreakdown]

@babyfaceassassin21 Good luck with that, after what we saw in Game 1!

[iSHOTbinladen1]

i agree coach biggest thing i noted watchin game 1 was all the offensive boards the bulls got they aint gonna get 19 again and as a result game 2 will be much closer

[EpicBurakFail]

Asik is playing so good :D

[bballbreakdown]

@EpicBurakFail Love him - loved him this summer in the finals vs. USA. What a luxury to have him!

[LILAMPTV]

This wont happen again...

[dannymade2142]

i m a heat fan and i think tht if d wade doesnt play gr8 but lazy the HEAT WILL GET SWEPT!!!!!

[bballbreakdown]

@dannymade2142 Well, let's not get crazy here. This series is still going to be a great one.

[btang28]

are there any chances that they will trade boozer next year?

it seems that he is such a bruden to the bulls rite now (according to your videos lol)

or they will put gibson at the starting lineup?

[bballbreakdown]

@btang28 It's going to be a problem at some point when Gibson earns the right to start. You can't have a guy like Boozer w/ his contract coming off the bench. However, not many people would take Boozer w/ that contract...

[RazaIsCool]

Taj Gibson came to play <3

[T0mmyPL]

5:36 is obvious traveling i don't know how referees didn't catch that

[Slamwoo93]

Taj Gibson is sentenced for 8 years for raping Dwyane Wade. Dwyane Wade is shaken up as well as his family. After these news we can guarantee a lawsuit by him and his wife LeBron James who hasn't been able to stop the rape but witnessed the act from just a few feet away. Next in the news: Smoothness of Derrick Rose' stroke enlightened Chris Bosh which led to a 2 hour confession about his fear of rebounding and banging down low to the local priest Eric Spoelstra. Spoelstra. He declined forgiving.

[heyyyitsandre24]

Look at Joakim! 5:08

[bballbreakdown]

@heyyyitsandre24 He deserves a post just about how active he is - incredible to see a pro do that. No one is constantly moving their feet and getting their arms in passing lanes like he does!

[666mirana]

Great Analysis! Bulls is the underdog becoz not everybody expect them to get this far and win coz everybody thinks this is a one man team only.. lil that they know that they are actually not. Heat expected to win most of the games becoz they have the 3 greatest players in the league. Heat was hated becoz of many reason early celebration.. counting wins? not 1 not 2 not 3 and hugs at celtic arena.. Lebrons decision is legit but he shud have noticed the organization and not hype the "decision".

[OrganicShadow]

Team Defense is always key, always, Coach said it, Nostra-Ball-us preach! :)

Heat no hustle all glam basketball, no hustle no grit, they out ran the C's, cause theyare simply to old to contend, but Bulls hustle all the time, Wade and James prance around like superstars, James hustled more in Cleveland...

[bballbreakdown]

@OrganicShadow The Celtics were a shell of themselves with injuries - the Heat did not get tested by that series. I think the 4th quarter lead is important for the Bulls, as the Heat don't appear to be ready to handle coming back against a good team in the 4th quarter of a big, high pressure playoff game.

[pnemanic]

I love you Coach Nick.

[bballbreakdown]

@pnemanic I love you too.

[nantoi]

thanks coach nick!

[Tommmaaah]

How do you feel about the officiating in game 7 memphis vs thunder? I felt like in the first half the thunder were allowed to do about anything under the basket against gasol and the other grizzlies and it wore them down into the second half.

[mac25zeroeight]

go bulls!

its gonna be 4-1 for bulls!

[lastblade6]

@mac25zeroeight  are u sure for that, I don't think so...maybe you reverse it....GO HEAT!!!!...Keep the HEAT rockin.

[mikedamz]

Let's go bulls!!!!

[IcantThinkOfAname9]

good breakdown

[BeFairAndNice]

Coach what do you mean by ice?

[chipsa86]

beautiful stuff. seriously.

[overgrownBALLS92]

5:39 Lebron travelled.

[PaoloDeVeraYT]

Yuss! I've been waiting for your breakdown Coach Nick! LOL! :))

[kwoktony121]

I was amazed by Korver's afford on defense... when someone who had been considered as a liability on defensive end plays such hard-working defense... it simply lifts the whole team up, even when he doesn't have a good shooting night.

And Gibson and Asik and Noah... they are precious~~~

[blunntashiz]

You've done it again Coach Nick!

[bballbreakdown]

@abelpk592 Thanks - feels great to be back.

[bballbreakdown]

@AChinn2 I'll buy that for a dollar.

[Daam81]

@bballbreakdown

part man, part machine...all cop!

[bballbreakdown]

@bobjoelee I got 'em from TV

[TheNightHawkEye]

I think it's quite interesting to see the Bull's logic on defence. For instance, if their bigs are on the perimeter, they should move back and play D. If the bigs are in the paint, they have to put in the effort to get those rebounds.

Rebounds win games and the Bulls have clearly taught the Heat that!

[bballbreakdown]

@TheNightHawkEye They sure have. I know they won't get that many offensive rebounds again, so it'll be interesting what the Bulls need to adjust to maintain their advantage.

[coolman97812]

You are simply Awesome and a great coach. Keep it up.

[bballbreakdown]

@coolman97812 Thanks!! Stay tuned. Lots more coming.

[HDBlazers7]

TAJ GIBSON WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE

[bballbreakdown]

@HDBlazers7 Tell me about it. Just sick, is what it is. He said he liked his second one better - b/c it showed they played hard all 48 minutes. I love him even more.

[BBSC07]

Great video coach I really like the time and work you spend putting these together! Kids need to see these b/c your explanations are easy to understand and right on point! Great Stuff!

[bballbreakdown]

@BBSC07 Thanks! How long have you been subscribed?

[AimanLP]

The things you pointed out about LeBron's defense makes me certain Deng should've gotten it over him. He had like four steals last night and kept knocking the ball out of LeBron's hands and forcing him into tough shots.

[willlee3]

Thanks coach. I really hope kids of this generation watch your videos and become great defenders instead of 1 on 1 streetballers.

[ihatewonders]

@willlee3 completely agree.

[bballbreakdown]

@ihatewonders @willlee3 Wouldn't that be nice? Well, my players definitely force baseline well and did a nice job in the half court this year. Our problem was turnovers where the other team raced down and scored before we could set up...

[HARDisTHEword]

@willlee3 You mean teens? Kids still TOO YOUNG to watch such things and understand.. -__-

[japplegren]

As a bulls fan this is pretty much the best thing ever.

[rickys162]

@japplegren as a celtics fan its pretty much the best thing ever lol

[TKLAX831]

coach, do you think heat will remember that beating the celtics wasnt the goal of the playoffs and that winning a championship was, and will start giving a crap next game?

[bballbreakdown]

@TKLAX831 If they don't, they should turn in their paychecks right now. Their effort was simply awful.

[allstarjerseyshop]

GO BULLS!!!!

[alwayzAngry]

awesome editing.... what program do you use?

[bballbreakdown]

@alwayzAngry Final Cut Pro

[alwayzAngry]

thanks again paul reiser!

[bballbreakdown]

@alwayzAngry Hey! I just got Turkoglu... I'll add Reiser to the loooong list of people that my subs think I look like...

:)

Coach Nick

[SquishyCandyftw]

the Heat were lazy, it was a huge let down. Interesting to see how they respond in Game 2 especially with more rest.

Small ball didn't work either. Out-coached + other team's defense + laziness = automatic blowout loss lol

[lildrose11]

Facial...0:47 0:53....go bulls

[jcha]

3:25 LOL Riding cowboys?! .....GAY!

[N0CAPE]

Coach Nick, I am surprised you are doing the video from Bulls perspective. How about a breakdown highlighting all the things Heat done wrong and what they have to do to win game 2.

[bballbreakdown]

@N0CAPE Maybe a little sarcastic? I thought I showed plenty of problems with the Heat...

[SquishyCandyftw]

of course there's a breakdown after the Heat lose lol

[bballbreakdown]

@SquishyCandyftw I really don't know how it keeps happening that way! I swear!!!!!!!!!!!

[WorldOfSnakes]

I predict Bulls in 3.

[intayaz]

No love for the western conference?

[outsida]

Taj is now DWades baby daddy.

[ahchang7]

Coach would love to see a behind the scenes video

[bballbreakdown]

@ahchang7 LOL - you need something to make you fall asleep?

[slavaggg]

Great game. Awesome game from Rose, his best one by far in these playoffs. If he can play like this for the rest of the series, I might consider him the actual MVP.

[MarvinMannTube]

LeBron traveled on his dunk (the 2nd basket of the game)

[jacob3141]

@MarvinMannTube I want to ref one of his games and just watch for traveling I wonder how many times I would see it

[slavaggg]

@MarvinMannTube Lebron traveled??? you don't say

[bballbreakdown]

@MarvinMannTube He did for sure - one of his perks, I guess.

[jounin9988]

its amazing looking at how physical the refs let the games in the east get. they def do not give the west the same treatment. *cough* mavs v lakers *cough*

-sincerely, recovering lakers fan.

[mattymm34735]

@jounin9988 cmon the mavs didnt win the whole series and 4 games straight because of bad calls. they simply out played the lakers also, yes refs miss things and sometimes give out bad fouls etc but honestly its a pretty tough sport to ref mate

[jounin9988]

@mattymm34735 No doubt its a tough sport to ref, but i just hate it how tonally refs seem to call west games more softly than east games. You just dont see things like 3:06 or 5:40 happen and not get calls in the west and It messes up the flow of the game. As much of a bias laker fan i am, will still stand by and say that if the refs called that series like they called this game the series would have looked a lot different.

[scapicoco]

@jounin9988 so you are saying the lakers could've won the series if the refs called like this?

[Tai223235]

@scapicoco Oh man, these Laker fans need to dry their eyes

[scapicoco]

@Tai223235 The guy is just a die-hard lakers believer i guess.. but not one of those cocky ones...

[AimanLP]

@jounin9988 If anything 5:40 was a travel.

[ultimatederon]

@jounin9988 3:06 was a flop and 5:40 was a travel. Watch it again...in HD.

[mattymm34735]

@jounin9988 well then maybe you havent seen the okc memphis series lol, cuz they called a lot of fouls but it was still a very physical and hard fought series with a lot of potential foul calls not being made. I think the biggest complaint these playoffs i have regarding refs is their techinical fouls, the ones pierce got on wade in game 1 or 2 and the one ibaka got for thinking the ball went out on the grizz especially. its the playoffs, lighten up these r the games that every player lives for

[PeanutSouup]

The way you put things into perspective and think...Your channel is amazing. Great content in this video, as always.

[bballbreakdown]

@PeanutSouup Thanks so much! Stay tuned for lots more!

[jd55192]

I see LeBron guarding Rose a lot from here on.

[bballbreakdown]

@jd55192 Me too - but the trap of Rose isn't really working right now. And I don't see how they could adjust and still trap - but LeBron would help... I just don't like how the Heat matchup on the Bulls. When Heat go small, it's a problem for them. I'm sure we'll see less of that.

[tupark82]

great stuff! i felt like wade really lacked energy in this game. i also don't get why magloire was in there with his inability to do anything. i feel like when lebron and wade start hitting shots the bulls won't play as loose on offense, over rely on rose as always, and struggle as a result. i have the heat winning this series. what do u think coach?

[kidkhalifa96]

lebron and wade had an off night everyone does and btw its the first game and i hope heat are watching this

[bballbreakdown]

@kidkhalifa96 I agree - one if not both will have big games on Wed

[NoName1325]

yaya I was right about there no effort box outs! The Miami Heat gave up during the last quarter. I saw Chalmers attempt to bring faith back but I guess the Heat just accepted the lost. The Heat should have won the game anyway you look at it coach Nick. Come at me bro! lol

[bballbreakdown]

@NoName1325 The Heat should be ashamed of their effort. Boxing out was only part of it. The Bulls certainly look like they know what's at stake. Watch out for a monster game from Wade or LBJ or both!

[TheAesirsFinest]

I'm sorry to nitpick, but I think you missed a key issue in that the Heat bench didn't come to play either. I noticed tons of instances where a non Big 3 player failed to rotate properly and allowed the Bulls to get easy offensive rebounds/open shots.

But of course, the main issue is the teamwork of the Bulls vs. the lack thereof exhibited by the Heat. I'm semi-rooting for the Bulls in the hopes that team basketball will FINALLY be emphasized over individualists like Kobe.

[hyp92]

@TheAesirsFinest kk

[bballbreakdown]

@TheAesirsFinest I'm trying to keep these slightly shorter than they've been - so it's hard to cover everything in the breakdown. That said - you are right. Here's an interesting take - after the top 4 players in this series, and you can plug Rose in there somewhere - the next best 6 players are all on the Bulls. Deng, Noah, Korver, Boozer,Brewer,Gibson

[Edin891]

Keep it coming coach nick ! love the vids

[bballbreakdown]

@Edin891 Thanks! Stay tuned. We'll do a Mavs OKC breakdown tomorrow.

[bibi24]

2:25 "gets that crap blocked by LeBron" XD

[bballbreakdown]

@bibi24 Love it

[MrFan32]

lebron and wade wasn't in this game at all, heard they had a great time in vegas or something 170k bar tab?

[bballbreakdown]

@MrFan32 Where did you hear that? Is that serious?? It certainly looked like Wade was hung over

[MrFan32]

@bballbreakdown just rumors, and there's a picture of lebron's bill but nothing concrete

[halowafflebrains]

LeBrick and D-Whistle suck D-err-ICK

[hyp92]

wade and queen j need to get on the d-rose's level

[TheAesirsFinest]

@hyp92

Way to give Bulls fans a good name. Ugh, classless fans like you guys make other people look bad.

[bozotheclown9]

lebron and wade need more cowbell

[bballbreakdown]

@bozotheclown9 If Bruce Dickinson needs more cowbell, then let's give him more cowbell! Love it!

I put my pants on just like you, but once my pants are on, I make gold records
