That steal on greens pass out was unbelievable. The cat like reflex, the distance covered, the bucket, and the magnitude. It almost cost the spurs.that game.
But he's still a bone head.
Russell Westbrook reminds me of Kobe Bryant. Insane talent, super ability. If the Thunder gets some like Phil Jackson to make Westbrook play in some kinda system, the sky is the limit for the Thunder.
That said, if the Spurs can retool cleverly after the Duncan-Ginobili era comes to an end with some skilled players to backup Kawhi, they will contend.

You have to think Fish is going to be looked at for a coaching position in both LA and OKC tbh.
That would have been his 3rd steal in the final seconds of a crucial game in these playoffs. He's going to make someone a great chucking guard, however the Thunder needs a ball distributor. RW's heroics is part of the problem in OKC. He's mega talented, just not smart. You want your PG to be smart.
Dantoni's offensive system was quite potent for Phoenix. OKC's offense is potent simply because they have 2 of the top 7 or 8 offensive 1 on 5 players in the league. Big difference.
coach nick is great at these breakdowns
Part of me wishes ESPN would hire this guy to do halftime and postgame coverage, but the thought of Jalen and Simmons dumbing the show down would be awful.
Yup...he doesn't get "it" and never will. He plays purely on instinct. Gotta have some smarts.
ESPN wouldnt let him do legit breakdowns, but you're right, he deserves to be bigtime compared to the hacks they have there now.
Coach Nick doesn't have the personality to do any national media , he's way too bland and corny, tbh..
Good breakdowns, though..
Let's hope he never figures it out because he could be scary.
That was some next level bashing right there. Great watch. I also love how he took several jabs at the officiating.
I imagine you mean Brooks, Westbrook or Durant. But I laughed because I thought you were posting that as part of the discussion about Coach Nick.
There was a period last year that he was trying to crank up the professionalism of his show. He dressed up in a suit and changed his green-screen background to look like something out of Sports Center.
I'm glad he quit that.
I was talking about Westbrook.
His show is fine, tbh, but being on ESPN has virtually nothing to do with your takes, it's entirely based on your connections + networking + having a shtick and appealing to the casual fan..
My favorite ESPN personalities are Leba , Bomani, Wilbon and Kornheiser..I like their personalities and the format of their shows, I don't actually listen for their takes, though, since they're usually uninformed and nothing special(Bomani has good takes on life, music, etc, but not necessarily sports)..
did the same thing haha. once coach nick taps into his full potential, we're looking at a dynasty before his anchor career is over. instant hofer.
Not really. D'antoni's system consisted of taking a lot of shots and thereby making more points. It didn't pay any mind to defense. Brooks doesn't do that, but they're the same in the way that they are only successful due to players that cover for their ty coaching. Its only when they come up against a team like the Spurs that they are exposed.
Westrbrook isn't half as smart as Kobe.
The Thunder lost because they have no depth. While Westbrook and Durant are a deadly on offense, you can't rely on hotshot shooting.
Great vid. Thanks.
Holy that would have been terrifying.
Coach Nick is probably too good and honest to work for one of the major television affiliates. I am very shocked to see the same tired, obvious reporting these guys do. Little or no real analysis in fear of offending someone. Sure OKC and Brooks would be offended, as they well should.
LOL @ the end where he says the Thunder's best hopes may linger on the Spurs retiring.
I hope OKC believes this and sticks with Brooks. With a good coach and system that same bench would be good for 25-30 ppg and the Thunder would be dominating the league.
