Lakers vs. Nuggets: How To Beat The Lakers In The Playoffs

[mylesusa]

lol i love "mamba mode"

[churroz4life]

If you ask me, the lakers have way more problems than just boxing out

[Dreamewalker]

lol 5:13 Kobe's like wtf?! You didn't pass it to me?!?

[crazyduckster]

Hey Coach,

gotta ask you if you could do a breakdown on the new Nuggets without Melo.

Love your channel keep it going!

[fimbultre]

Hi coach nick! i play basketball and i play PF/C. Your videos taught me a lot on defense and i've realized that i was a bad defender. I've watched almost all of your breakdown videos and have improved on hedging well on D, finding a man to box out for my team to secure rebounds, helping my team mates to switch, so on and so forth. I'm still young and please continue this videos, you have taught me a lot and i need to learn more for me to improve. Thank you!

[Horcruxify]

HAHAHAHA THEY GOT SWEPT EVEN BEFORE LAKERS

[stewiegriffinfan18]

Holy fuck this video's amazing!

[youwitdaface69]

What I've been taught is not to completely box out, but not completely just go after the ball. As soon as I see the shot I go and hit the nearest player and mini box out before going after the ball

[Shareefllovekdj]

The way I taught rebounding was controversial, but it was positive. Most other coaches teach what is called “boxing out.” In other words, when it comes to rebounding, a player must keep his opponent from getting the ball. That's not positive. I taught my players to go get the ball. I wanted my boys to be thinking, I' M GOING TO GET THE BALL . I didn't want them lamenting, I HAVE TO KEEP MY MAN FROM GETTING THE BALL – Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success -By John Wooden

[haveatomato]

2:23 LOL hilarious pau flop

[qyxzz]

You must be really really naive if you think the Lakers will play like this in the playoffs. Basicly what you showed in this vid is the Lakers NOT putting the effort. So how to beat the Lakers in the playoffs? Hope that they somehow WANT to lose? lol

The Lakers lost 7 out of the last 11 games last year.

The Celtics finished 27-27.

You idiots never learn..

The Finals - Lakers vs Celtics.

[SneakerGiantCom]

@TheeCaffeineFiend Amen...

[Hoops1220]

Coach, do you think that the C's can get back on track before the playoffs? I think I know why they shipped Perkins off, I think that Danny owed the GM from the wolves big time, and he's now in Oklahoma city: and they don't seem to be on track ever since the trade, although watching your breakdowns have made me a Bulls fan, I would still love to see the original big three get at least one more ring.

[Hoops1220]

Coach, don't read to much into this comment, but you say something wrong at 4:45, you say whole Nugget offense, when It should be Nugget Defense, don't worry your only human.

[Hoops1220]

@Hoops1220 Sorry I mean 4:35.

[bballbreakdown]

@Hoops1220 Yeah - I kicked myself big time when I hear myself do that the other day!! No worries - long day, lots of games... Stay tuned as we will attempt to do playoff matchup previews!!

Coach Nick

[cR15mA5T3r]

coach, is it possible if you do a playoff prediction and what we should expect from 2011 playoffs? and who do you think will be the NBA champs?

[bballbreakdown]

@cR15mA5T3r Absolutely. We are amassing footage right now from the last few games to do a preview of all the matchups in the 1st round

[virginiatechfanx]

@cR15mA5T3r i think the mavericks but thats just me

[martinaird]

once the play-offs start, you should make a video showing who you think will win each round and who will win in the finals

[syazo]

hey coach do some review on spurs vs kings last nights. there was some great moves from spurs

[jamin824]

You should be critical of the missed call that allows Kenyon to just push Odom under the ring... clearly a foul. But you aren't, because it doesn't illustrate the point you are trying to make... so you try to twist it against the Lakers. Weak.

[bballbreakdown]

@jamin824 I think I pointed out that it could've been called a foul. But you can't rely on the referees in the last minute of a game. Precedent has been set that they will swallow their whistles for just about every call they may or may not see. Odom should have been a little stronger in trying to box out - which proves my point that they simply don't have the instinct and toughness to do it. That said, 2 practices could fix that.

[Civsuccess2]

Everyone realize Pau and Andrew are too slow, so every team in the past 4 games ran some sort of fast break to score early with ease.

[bballbreakdown]

@Civsuccess2 They're not slow when they want to run down on offense...

[jamstifler03]

Coach, I might disagree with you here. The Lakers looked like they were playing uninspired ball when the 2nd half came. I mean, yeah I look like to be defensive as a fan but I've watch several games both season and Playoffs even in the Finals that the Lakers when playing crucial games they box out extremely well.

The Lakers looked like they were playing with no respect against the Denver team. I do believe they'd do a better boxing out when they face OKC after the Portland team.

[bballbreakdown]

@jamstifler03 Sure - if they work on boxing out for a few practices, they could clean it all up. We'll see!

[mohammad5]

Thumbs up if Ball Don't Lie Sent you here!

[bballbreakdown]

@mohammad5 Awesome, welcome! Make sure you get into the conversation! Next up? I'll do some excerpts from our Tex Winter interview in honor of him making the Hall of Fame.

[brandoniscool102]

Coach i know you've probably been asked this already and ur probably tired of it but i want to know who you think will go down (after their both retired) as the better player, Kobe or LeBron

[bballbreakdown]

@brandoniscool102 I think LeBron is the better basketball player overall. If Kobe gets his 6th, and LeBron goes down without one at all, then Kobe will get the nod from everybody. I'm not sure how LeBron and Miami will win one. While Boston is on the way out, the Bulls are about to enter a 5 or 6 year dominant run where it'll be tough for anyone to get them out of the playoffs. By that time, LeBron will be 32 or 33, in his 13th season...

[bballbreakdown]

@studiob2 Here's my comparison:

Kobe is nowhere near as good as Michael.

:)

I'll see what I can do. I've got Game 6 NBA Finals from 98 loaded in

[metalmilitia1890]

Sorry Coach, but this one game is not the be-all-end-all blueprint that twill take down the Lakers. I remember you thought the Suns had the key last year in the western conference finals, but nope, it was merely a rouse.

[bballbreakdown]

@metalmilitia1890 Hey! The Suns never did what I told them to do - a box and one defense... :)

I'll be the first to admit that they can clean up their boxing out issues in 2 practices. If they do, there ain't much anybody can do. But I think it's clear the Lakers do NOT want the #1 seed - with the #2, they don't have to go through both San Antonio and OKC... and OKC is who they should be afraid of...

[EpicBurakFail]

great vid

[FlossAngeles544]

Hey coach, keep up the great work making these awesome videos..

I don't agree that this is a blueprint to beat the Lakers though. After going 17 and 1 since the allstar break, there was bound to be a letdown or 2 like this game was. Denver played with an overall better energy and focus, especially on the boards, and won the game. Defensive rebounding is one of the only consistent inconsistencies this Laker team has. Playoff focus will take care of this issue. Lakers have won 2 chips as evidence

[bballbreakdown]

@FlossAngeles544 You are very right. One or two practices where they focus on boxing out would clean it up - and no one will beat them...

[TheMaku]

played like rookies the last two games but still got a shot at winning them at the end. still like their chances in the playoffs.

[bballbreakdown]

@TheMaku Me too. If the only thing they have to shore up is their rebounding intensity - they're in pretty good shape.

[tintin4561]

hey coach think you can do some 96-98 bulls highlights during the offseason?

[bballbreakdown]

@tintin4561 For sure - I've got Game 6 from 98 already loaded in...

[Shareefllovekdj]

Dear coach I’m not sure you’ve noticed but in the last 3 years the Lakers have changed their isolation and 2 man coverage. The off ball players now rotate into a 2-2 zone vs iso and a 1-2 zone vs 2 man. As the players are zoned up they cannot be expected to box out. Many of your clips are of this coverage. Their non-zone box out % seems average for the NBA. Also I know Phil is a big fan of coach Wooden who NEVER boxed out. 2 championships in I don’t think they will be changing soon.

[bballbreakdown]

@Shareefllovekdj Well, what you're describing is basically how a man to man works on the weakside. That said, even in a zone, you are expected to box people out in your area. In fact, it's even worse if you're in a zone and don't try and box someone out. There isn't a coach out there that would shrug and not expect his players to box out on a shot. I can also tell you that Wooden stressed boxing out like nobody's business. That said, they can fix this w/ 1 practice, and if they do - it's over

[criminalmindxxxx]

FYI, you just got a great plug this morning on Los Angeles radio from the Max Kellerman (Max and Marcellus) show. Congrats, it's well deserved.

[bballbreakdown]

@criminalmindxxxx Thanks! But I didn't hear him actually say BBALLBREAKDOWN - did you? Once the kid came on, I'm figuring he didn't talk about it again. Let me know... Really cool, though!!

[criminalmindxxxx]

Great video man,

I agree with you that the Lakers are very lazy, but I think that they become more organized and fundamentally sound once they get to the playoffs. I think that with the amount of careless turnovers during the Denver game and the more recent Jazz game were the main deciding factors. Even if I sound like a Lakers homer, I truly believe that they just beat themselves during many of their losses.

[bballbreakdown]

@criminalmindxxxx I can agree with that. I think they're also motivated to get the 2nd seed - so they won't have to face OKC until the conference finals. I truly believe that, although that doesn't explain Kobe losing the ball like he did...

[Mr19901611]

kobe always cryin for a foul jordan didn't do that kobe fans

[bballbreakdown]

@Mr19901611 There is no bigger Michael Jordan fan than me, having gone to all his home games in Chicago. That said, he did yell at refs from time to time - but it never really affected the next play, whereas Kobe might not be back in time to pick up his man. By the way, he should've gotten a technical for his wild gestures, considering he got a T earlier for a lot less. Of course, they're not gonna throw Kobe out of the game ever, but...

[ken0746]

@Mr19901611 why would he, cuz refs already blew the whistle for him everytime

[Mr19901611]

@ken0746 cmon when kobe be cryin these dude b dn' kobe up and u see at times its good d and no foul jus cuz he miss he thinks its a call

[pnewtonfarley]

agreed the lakers rely on their height way too much

[bballbreakdown]

@pnewtonfarley If that's what they gotta rely on, then it's hard to argue. But at some point, it could come back and hurt them,

[willlee3]

thanks for this coach nick. I hope Thunder can exploit this

[bballbreakdown]

@willlee3 The Lakers want no part of the Thunder. I'm sure they have no problems getting the #2 seed so they won't have to face them until the conference finals. If they got the #1, they'd have to play OKC, then Spurs... I think -doesn't the winner of 1/8 play 4/5 - or 3/6?

[jhlbjaaa]

Odom always has trouble on box out opponent's big man. The tip by K-mart remind me of the game winning tip by Mcdyess few monthe ago. Exactly same thing happens when you don't box out well.

[bballbreakdown]

@jhlbjaaa It sure did remind me of that too. I feel like he's been tougher than that in the past - McDyess didn't push him as much on his tip, and Kenyon got away with it, but Odom's gotta fight harder

[MisterBinx]

So basically you are pointing out that the Lakers played like crap and still barely lost to the Nuggets. I'm not even a Laker fan, but I don't think rebounding is going to cost them games in the playoffs.

[JhonnyKing0001]

@MisterBinx He never said that they played like crap

[bballbreakdown]

@MisterBinx Famous last words...

Coach Nick

[losing3accounts]

Coach is it possible if you broke down the U Conn v Butler game?

[bballbreakdown]

@losing3accounts I've gotta start working on playoff previews - and besides who would want to see a breakdown of what is perhaps the worst NCAA Finals game ever played?

[Slamwoo93]

Since Melo left I'm really liking the Nuggets. They're playing team basketball, and it's great to watch, even more important they haven't dropped actually the Knicks did. They might not do anything this year in the playoffs. but next year, when they gel some more and get to know each other better, they will be dangerous.

[bballbreakdown]

@Slamwoo93 I tried to get a post out right after the trade, explaining how the Nuggets are so much better off. They are very dangerous. No one wants to play them in the playoffs, but I've never been a complete George Karl fan, and there were some mistakes they got away with in this game that illustrate that.

[JayDDreams]

can u please make a vid about the championship game between butler and uconn?

[bballbreakdown]

@JayDDreams I don't think anyone wants to see a breakdown of the worst NCAA final game every played... do you?

[JayDDreams]

@bballbreakdown sry, i didnt watch it, so it was horrible? how?

[Hawkhunter07]

It's delusional Kobe fans keep thinking Kobe is the best closer when they don't see how Kobe is constantly shooting his team out of games

[bballbreakdown]

@Hawkhunter07 HOw about last night vs. the Jazz?

[chitownkidd33]

Thank you so much Coach. As I've grown older, I've realized how horrible Kobe's shot selection is....I mean he has Gasol, Bynum, and Odom and could shot easily over 50% if he wasn't jacking up terrible 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 fade a ways. His minutes have gone down but he's still jacking up the shots....hmmm.

[bballbreakdown]

@chitownkidd33 Bottom line is that his teammates play better and score better when they don't go as long between shots. The more shots Kobe takes, the less efficient he is. It's a problem - as they lost again tonight as he went 6-18.It was only 22% of the team's shots, which is perfectly acceptable, but shooting 33% and turning it over on the final play to win is not.

[RudyGay69]

I wouldn't look too much into the late regular season game. I think the Lakers are taking health over seeding.

[bballbreakdown]

@RudyGay69 Quite possible - they lost at home tonight to Utah, though. I doubt it will have any affect on their first round match up - but perhaps teams are watching...

[IvanTripleD]

Great Job

[bballbreakdown]

@IvanTripleD Thanks! Stay tuned for some playoff previews!

Coach NIck

[IvanTripleD]

@bballbreakdown Can you do a couple of videos showcasing plays used on offense and defense by the best teams (chi,la,mia,bos,orl). I watched the lakers after a couple of your videos and it was much more enjoyable after I knew the plays they were running.

[odomisauq]

That's a nice website :D

[bballbreakdown]

@odomisauq Thanks! We'll keep working to improve the look and functionality...

Coach NIck

[cR15mA5T3r]

Coach nick good video! Is it fundamentally wrong what artest did boxing out the shooter instead of double box out to Martin?

[bballbreakdown]

@cR15mA5T3r I'd argue he didn't box out the shooter either. Lamar was quoted as saying they didn't squeeze Martin... but in theory you're right, Artest is supposed to not let the shooter get the rebound either... Bottom line, it was a tough play with Martin borderline fouling Odom. I'd like to see Odom push back a little better.

[modernity2001]

The best way to beat the Lakers in a seven game series is to schedule all seven games on Christmas day or Sunday afternoon. The team has only two in the loss column since the All-Star break and will go into the playoffs with a greater purpose than we've seen from any Lakers team in recent seasons, sending Phil Jackson off a winner. It'll be fun to watch.

[bballbreakdown]

@modernity2001 It certainly will be fun. They have very few weaknesses - but Kobe did not look good tonight in their loss to the Jazz - who outrebounded them in the 4th...

[modernity2001]

@bballbreakdown Definitely. I expect any sloppiness in rebounding and the team's shot selection to get rectified going the playoffs. These last two losses may have given home court away to Bulls, should both team make it to the Finals.

[champion909]

Hey Coach Nick guess what THERE IS NO CHANCE THE LAKERS ARE LOSING THE PLAYOFFS!! They have too much size, experience, coaching and the best player in the game. No one can even match this team, oh yeah you love to talk about Kobe and his "mamba mode". Michael Jordan would go on streaks of just non stop shooting so its nothing new. I don't buy stock into a meaningless regular season game because the lakers are still clearly the best team by far.

[uurg]

@champion909 There's a reason Jordan only has 40 regular season games where he shot 30% or less. When he missed a few shots in a row he started deferring to his teammates and compensating by attempting steals, rebounding, doing anything that helped the team. When Kobe starts chucking, there's no stopping the guy, he can "explode" for 6 of 24 any given night and shoot the Lakers out of the game because he has deluded himself into thinking he's the best ever at shooting turnaround fadeaways.

[plumpyperson6]

just 2 quick thoughts...on the FT non-boxout by odom, i agree he and artest should have squeezed, but even if they had, martin simply was going to overpower/foul odom and get the ball. odoms box out could have been somewhat better, but its hard when getting fouled

also, you twice mention the lakers' slow weakside rotation, however, they are doing what they must, seeing as they have to guard 2 guys: stay somewhat inbetween and be ready to go to whoever gets passed to. very good stuff, though

[N0CAPE]

Can you really blame Kenyon for looking at Kobe? I think I'd have done the same thing.

[raj8294]

we always criticize the Lakers but some how they always end up raising the trophy...

[Wisewind]

Thanks Coach Nick for finally breaking down a Denver game and an excellent job on the vid. Also congrats on 1 millions viewers, Im excited to see this continually grow and am looking forward to your playoff coverage.

[jedichris8]

Kobe got hit on his arm there, was fouled on that shot, plain and simple. That was bullshit there.

[sleepyhungry]

Mamba Mode = Title Winning time!

[kileer7]

Just read the article posted on your website. Great "Coaches hunch" backed up by verifiable evidence. Hell, you even did a nice job of getting it across in a pretty entertaining manner(Superman for the win!).

[ihatewonders]

thanks coach nick! while i do like kobe and think he is a great player, but often he lack the focus to look for wide open players...

[yeon723]

Haha, pau's game face was funny.  He looked like a lost little boy there.

[HARDisTHEword]

"How to Beat the Lakers in the Playoff"---Title

"...the Lakers are not fundamentally rebounding team..."

Coach Nick, so your saying is, the way to beat the Lakers in the playoff is to out rebounding them then...? I think you can't just spoke Lakers off like that because this is just one of those games where players are not giving 100% into the game. As a Lakers fan, I had watched my team plays for over few years now... The Lakers are the 2nd best franchise in NBA for an reasons...

[ihatewonders]

@HARDisTHEword i have been watching lakers game all season long, none of those guys know how to box out consistently, okc is even worse.

boxing out should be a habit, not do it just because you feel like it this game is more important than the other, thats just playing ball with no heart.

[kareemtherush]

The Lakers had one more rebound than the Nuggets for the game. One more offensive rebound than they did.

This video wouldn't exist if the Lakers had won. The Nuggets have just as much of an issue boxing out as the Lakers did.

Again, another video by BBallBreakDown claiming to just let Kobe shoot the Lakers out of the game. Yes, because that's worked ever so often.

[ihatewonders]

@kareemtherush so are you saying it isnt a fault that kobe was shooting a little bit too much, or the those 7ft guys not boxing out properly? hell yeah they are. sure, coach and fans can give them a slack if they win, but they lost. when they lose, it is their job to not make the same mistake again.

they are great players, but great players still make mistake because they are just people.

[kkakckk]

That was another great post

[ddericwu]

@bballbreakdown i wish coach nick is my bball coach

[ButtZilla1031]

Kobe goes to MAMBA mode then misses, then goes straight to cry baby mode, LOL!!

. .

Great review Coach Nick!

[tyakack]

@mengjohn Lol this comment is retarded.

[TheAngryDipper]

last week the lakers were out rebounding a team with two 7'1 posts and this week they are getting dominated on the glass by an undersized front court (martin-6'9, Nene-6'11) yet they were still close if they were consistent and Kobe learned how to take good shots and PASS UP contested shot they would probably have first in the West with games to spare

[dowancool]

Great video coach. I think the problem with not boxing out can be a huge problem especially if the other team has a good penetrating point guard.. I think OKC and Spurs with Westbrook and Parker with the ability to penetrate into the paint will collapse the bigs of Lakers and cause issues during the playoffs

[nitotech]

No the issue isn't rebounding it's the Lakers. If they want to play they'll win. Clearly they didn't want to win that game and as a Laker fan I wanted them to lose that game so they stay in the 2nd seed and not face thunder in the 2nd round.

[tyakack]

@nitotech "As a lakers fan" that explains the rest of your comment, im pretty sure the lakers wanted to win that game !

[nitotech]

@tyakack you thought wrong. they weren't in that game.

[tyakack]

@nitotech Yeah ok.

[nuddin901]

Do you think the spurs can go deep in the playoffs, and win the championship?

[barisax33]

still though a lazy poorly played game from the lakers and they loose by 5. Not much hope for other teams in the playoffs.

[tyakack]

@barisax33 Your giving the lakers too much credit for LOSING.

[barisax33]

@tyakack The lakers more so lost that game then Denver won it. Thats how i see it. The lakers have only lost 2 games since the break so i won't complain about this loss. If these effort issues and not boxing out persist though ill be concerned.

[tyakack]

@barisax33 Yeah i hear that line all the time, but a loss is a loss it doesn't matter how you lose! But i some what see what your saying.

[kororman1112]

at 1:32 its not lawson, its Smith

[jeremyDior]

How to beat the Lakers: Hope Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are simultaniously injured

[TheKGamer08]

George Karl is the coach of the year.

[IcantThinkOfAname9]

@TheKGamer08

tom tibs should be

[TheKGamer08]

@IcantThinkOfAname9 Oh yeah. Forgot about him, but George Karl has won having to deal with Carmelo whining most of the year, and then getting a new cast, and continuing to win through that whole time.

[slyester33]

How do you feel about the C's? Will a slower pace during a 7 game series work out?

[samauripizzacats101]

so what exactly happened to the technicals for complaining excessively to the refs? It's just been forgotten late in the season it seems. Especially for kobe

[Reeferal]

ARRGGGH Darn it Coach Nick your videos are incredibly hard to find on YouTube for some reason. :( I'm just gonna creep your uploads on your profile page now.

[bballbreakdown]

@mengjohn You are probably right. No need to apologize :)

[1playerroyal]

Great video again coach nick, I love all of your stuff ! I never noticed that the lakers box out so bad, but yeah it really hurts them in games like these ! At the end of the game the played Odom instead of Bynum most of the time but I think that they would benefit more playing Odom-Gasol-Bynum on the frontcourt because Bynum gives them more interiour presence...what do you think coach nick ? greetings from luxembourg ;)

[bballbreakdown]

@1playerroyal Thanks! I've been trying to point out how bad they are at boxing out for a while. But they seem to get by pretty well without it. Bynum tweaked his knee a little, which is why he didn't play the last 7 minutes. If he's in there, they probably win the game - but even in the games they've lost where he's played - they have the 4th quarter rebounding problem. Make sure to read my article at bballbreakdown for more...

[jd55192]

Off topic: that NCAA Championship was God-awful. Don't tell me about "college fundamentals and passion." Ick!

[bballbreakdown]

@jd55192 Awful. If Butler could've just made 2 shots in a row, they win. Wasn't much on UCONN's defense - I saw a ton of open shots that Butler clanked. Once it starts as a team, it's hard to break that roll.

[wozzers2]

@bballbreakdown breakdown the celtics 76ers probaly will be the first round matchup

[Tai223235]

@bballbreakdown As a UConn fan, I'll agree that Butler missed some shots that they PROBABLY should have made, but I also saw Butler have to take shots from between the 3-pt line and half court. You know, Jimmer Fredette/J.J Reddick range shots, especially the last shot by Butler in the 1st half. That was encouraging to me, and I knew those shots weren't as likely to go down in the 2nd half, and I was right.

[Tai223235]

@bballbreakdown It also didn't help that Butler didn't score a single point in the paint until around 6 minutes left in the SECOND half. The first 34 minutes of a 40 minute game is a long time to go without any interior points. UConn ruled the paint, Big East style, and that's definitely something much on UConn's defense, too. It's very possible that it put more pressure on their perimeter shooters to perform, leading to the additional misses.

[KillenEMsoftly]

coach, you need to sell Mamba Mode t-shirts...i will buy one instantly

[bballbreakdown]

@KillenEMsoftly Hmmm - I may get on that...

[Raayn07]

when you have 3 7 footers, you can see why they dont feel like they need to box out. of course, i do believe they do, but you should be able to see why they dont. all of them probably think that if bynum does get it, pau or odom will and so forth. i think kobe's mamba mode is worse for the lakers. sure it looks good if he makes it, but he misses it more times than he does, and this is from a kobe fan. i'd love to see kobe coming off screens and getting open shots through the offence.

[bballbreakdown]

@Raayn07 I had a whole percentage of shots Kobe takes article prepped - my article at bballbreakdown go too long w/ regards to rebounding, so I'll do another video with an article explaining Kobe's problem with the percentange of shots he takes... It's too high.

[supermanXL]

I really like Denver nuggets since the trade. They become my favorite West Conference team but they'll miss Carmelo when the playoffs start. However, if they win one series without him, than we got to start wonder how important Carmelo was to Denver.

[ultimatederon]

Great breakdown once again.

[jounin9988]

ive been saying the lakers need to work on boxing out forever! i really like how you explained that. Also I like what you're saying about kobe, but i think that its fine if hes taking a high percentage of shots if he gets quality shots like you said in your previous video. I think that the whole "mamba" iso thing he does works when the rest of the team is moving around so they can bail out kobe with a pass. He always draws the attention of the other team which is a great tool for the other guys.

[SlyCopper23]

When can we expect another Bulls breakdown?

[SlipknoTXXIV]

I hit the like button before watching.

[ricobellic1]

watched,commented,liked...anot­her great video,keep up the good work!

[foxfire1112]

If Andrew and Pau both didnt get hurt individually we would have got this one u kno this coach...

[AndiOVai]

Hey Coach, i paused the video at 3.18 while im writing this comment, i was going to do a long long comment saying why this BreakDown i think is pointless and naive, and giving you all the reasons why the lakers son give a s#!" about the regular season, but i dont want to and like i love to say, we'll see how good the Lakers are in the finals, yeah the finals.-

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

@AndiOVai bro, don't be a fanboy. Lakers have weaknesses. As a big fan, i just hope they know what went wrong. It is not pointless and definitely not naive

[AndiOVai]

@KamalAkaBeLikeKobe im a fan of the Seattle SuperSonics (yeah i know they dont exist anymore) and i like Wade more than Kobe, im not a "fan boy" i watch Bball breakdown from the beggining and i know coach nick will accept my point, just because its really obvious that the lakers will turn up the intensity to a 2000% in the playoffs, conference finals and the finals.-

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

@AndiOVai Oh, alright, sorry bro :D I mistook you for those annoying Lakers fans who run around screaming "LA is No.1!" and "Kobe MVP!", yet they don't even watch games and don;t notice their flaws. I know they will turn up the heat, but you saw them against former sonics, the OKC Thunder, in last year's first round. They almost lost the damn series because their switch was broken

[AndiOVai]

@KamalAkaBeLikeKobe i got you, im from Argentina, i watch the games on ESPN in spanish, i understand english perfectly but i preffer that way and the other day against the Jazz they were saying that sometimes the switch from another pointless regular season game to damn the OKC are playing great and we are playing like a bunch of 50 year olds, its difficult to fix and not always the players are able to change it while the game is played.-

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

@AndiOVai good point!

[ISonbabball]

would i be too crazy to suggest that the Zen master asked Kobe to take all of the shots just so come playoff time they can surprise everyone with their other guys when the opposing team is only defending Kobe??

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

@ISonbabball yeah, u would be :D Last playoffs vs Phoenix - every end of the game Zen went to the Mamba Mode, who to say the truth, went ballistic in those series, so it was a good choice :D

I am digging that background music, hearing that voice saying "how you like me now". What is that?

[iBatzman]

Well, stating the obvious here really. Could've done better.

[Ravefox]

I think the lakers are holding some energy for these last games in the regular season. Its really amazing how the melo trade made the nuggets so much better though.

[YaBoyTHECIB]

I'm a die hard Laker Fan. But when the Lakers don't rebound Anyone can beat them.

That what piss me off Most about the Lakers. They're beat anybody and every team when the Lakers Limit their opponent to one Shot attempted.

thanks*

[mindfreakfan241]

rhanks coach now maybe i can beat the lakers! haha

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

I really wish you wouldn't do this video since i'm a Laker fan, haha. But gotta face what i gotta see.

[Sukuun]

@KamalAkaBeLikeKobe Eh, maybe the Lakers are watching these breakdowns and will fix the problem themselves.

[KamalAkaBeLikeKobe]

@Sukuun hahaha, that's really improbable XD
