Does anybody know why MDA didn’t bring Ben McLemore in?? I don’t get how he didn’t trust McLemore to have a better game than Russ. There was no way he woulda played worse
@@bballbreakdown After you said Anthony Caruso, it sounded wrong... but I no longer could remember his actual name. Sitting debating myself if you're right.
Miguel Caliguiran I’m not a fan of either team, but the lakers definitely got lucky. The Rockets got boiling hot and allowed Russ to make some stupid decisions to allow them to win. He shoulda got benched. Oh well. I think it’ll be one of the best series of the playoffs.
Miguel Caliguiran it’s gonna be a great series that’s for sure. Lakers made their adjustments and look comfortable shooting now. Houston feels like they let game 2 slip and will also make adjustments. It’ll be very interesting to see the rest of the way
I mean when you go down 21 to the 1st seeed and your 2nd best player has 7 turnovers and 4 fg and it’s gonna be win no matter how well they shoot from behind the line
They had to climb back being down by 21, if the game started with them getting hot from the three it would have been over regardless if Russ was playing his worst playoffs performance.
Javier Landaverde well no dur, if any team can play an entire game hot from 3 they would never lose. Rockets are not going to shoot this well from 3 again at any point in the series. You’re acting like the rockets didn’t just play their best offensive game in the playoffs yet and still lost. They won’t hit that many 3s again.
Russ did a lot of good things this game, mostly hustle and energy. In terms of actual basketball he didn't have it at all, but he was still being a positive influence on the floor. That is until he got his 5th foul (what a careless move that was) and became a spectator on defense. The lakers scored 3 or 4 times in a row on him during that time and it broke the game open for them. Russ was correct about what he said in the press conference afterwards: "I'm just running around out there (like a headless chicken)". Hoping for a better G3 from my fav player.
AD should always keep in his mind, that he's a monster, he just needs to be confident, because logically, no one can guard him, he outsized anyone in the rockets..
Facts he should be taking 10-15 Fts a game and grabbing 12+ rebounds. No one in Houston can even hope to contain him and he needs to keep on being aggressive.
Even on a 1v1 situation, he prefers to take a turnaround jumper or midrange. He needs to play back to the basket, get into the paint for an and1 putting Houston's best defenders into foul trouble.
kteague2050 because now Vogel knows that they are giving up open threes. That was their best chance because know they won’t hit as many threes to stay in the game
@@ernothackrell1267 they get open 3s every single game... The story is whether they make or miss.. How can you stop them from getting open 3s without giving up the Lane to Harden russ and EG... You can act. Like Westbrook isn't a factor after ONE bad game of you want... Y'all act as if that was the rockets best shooting game of the year.. Lmfao amd ignore that fact that LA olayed one of it's best games amd barely won... Rondo wont shoot like that again.. Morris 4-4 from 3? Thats a big deal.. Lmao houston in 6
factsss coach always has been biased against em but seeing how the video ended with a lakers dub but with coach still predicting a rockets series win i would say his bias against lebron is much greater
@@immanualstanks its funny coach didnt make a video when they beat the Blazers 4 games straight games but soon as they lose to the Rockets a video comes out smh. His hate for Lebron is crazy.
Yeah he badly wants us to lose 🤦 he constantly shows LeBron not being active in the defense and not his highlights in defense 🤦 can't wait to return to this video when we gentleman sweep the rockets
Who cares if Lakers move on but one thing for certain that you can tell that will be a huge problem for Lakers is over using trap defense so far every game in the playoffs. It worked in some regards vs Blazers and Houston but there going to face a team that have more scorers and shooters, there going to get cooked instead of using man to man coverage.
The Houston front office traded away the future of the team to land Westbrook. Let that sink in. If he keeps playing like this he'll blow the Rockets best chances of winning a chip.
He's been good at times, but his decision making is terrible in the playoffs. If he's keeps this up Westbrook is gonna be know as the guy who always chokes in the playoffs.
It's hard to see how he could be worse. I guess if he plays the same, minus the energy. But there's no guarantee he's going to play better. I've followed this guy for a few years now. I just don't think he has the talent to be a truly great player. He has the body and the heart though. But that's never been enough.
This is why his years in OKC weren’t that impressive to me. In OKC it was obvious he was stat padding trying to get those triple doubles. It was still impressive, but look at what’s happening now. Just no impact whatsoever.
Since the small ball he was averaging 34 on very good shooting , the rockets won more , but the playoffs for him has been rough , you must be a causal hater to not notice his impact
I think the lakers now have found a way to defend the houston micro ball starting game 2 q4.. That is, timely traps on harden so he gives up the ball pretty soon while minimizing the open 3 point looks from other players.
CP3 is a good defender and shooter but he is liability if he is guarding Lebron James or AD. Westbrook is not known for being a defender by clearly size advantage, fast break and athletcism is what Rockets bank for and Letting Harden be the main ball handler, Houston problem with CP3 is CP3 would get upset because he wants to control more the offense so you get two ball handlers clashing with each other.
This is a great analysis of the game! Your identification of how the Lakers exploited Westbrook is right on target. Even then the game was close. If he gets in the game the next one will be a real war.
The Lakerd got this in 6. They control the whole game well and play their pace. Even when the Rockets have the lead, it feels like the Lakers still control the tempo and can get back easily. Lebron and Ad were doing everything they want last night and it will be that way moving forward.
Great video as usual coach! Just one small precision, at 5:00 I believe they ruled it a loose ball foul, not a charge, which is why Rondo went the line.

Don’t put that much stock into it, Coach Nick doesn’t like LeBron going back to his Heat days. That being said, Houston is going to lose this series. Sorry
First time I have watched one of your vids, and it is better than any of the mainstream analysis by a fukn mile! Subscribed👍 I’ve been a Westbrook fan for a while and am seeing his decline on the defensive end. He has a copped a lot of unfair criticism over the years, but I saw every failure you noted during the live game. Prior to the bubble, you couldn’t argue his results, so he hasn’t fallen off completely. However he is lacking on the defensive end - I hope by some miracle he absorbs your angles...
Westbrook was 1 foul away of securing a W for Houston.

It’s crazy how he carries the rockets through the season and Houston fans are so fickle they will flip on the whole team over one game.
Coach Nick confused the hell out of me here. Headline says Russ cost them best chance to win the series, but in the end still picks the Rockets to advance?
"I have to pick the Rockets to advance." 🚀
Don’t put that much stock into it, Coach Nick doesn’t like LeBron going back to his Heat days. That being said, Houston is going to lose this series. Sorry
@@shwtmDLX1 dont say sorry mate. Youre most likely correct. 🦊 keep safe.
One thing u have to say was Russ was hustling and getting the rebounds but no one wants to have that conversation
L
It is killing me inside that Russ is solely to blame for a lot of these blown wins.
Rockets will win in 6 or 7 simply because of the lakers dead legs..... (MARK MY WORDS)
You mean the other way around 😂😂😂
JAY SMOOVE Lakers dead legs?
HARDEN IS DUE FOR A BAD GAME I CAN SEE LAKERS WINNING THIS SERIES BUT AGAINST THE CLIPPERS EHHHHHHHHHHHH NAW
@@doruka890 who? Carry who?
@Thomas Sankara LeBron isn't shutting down anyone, he's barely played defense these playoffs. Why isn't he out there guarding Harden?
Oh I was waiting for this video
Yall really hatin big time on westbrook🤣🤣
Ikr smh
Someone else commented - In these playoffs Russ is shooting 39% FG, 17% 3P, and 47% FT with 22 AST and 21 TO.
Dude needs to step up no excuses.

First time I have watched one of your vids, and it is better than any of the mainstream analysis by a fukn mile! Subscribed👍 I’ve been a Westbrook fan for a while and am seeing his decline on the defensive end. He has a copped a lot of unfair criticism over the years, but I saw every failure you noted during the live game. Prior to the bubble, you couldn’t argue his results, so he hasn’t fallen off completely. However he is lacking on the defensive end - I hope by some miracle he absorbs your angles...
