Coach Nick's WB Hate is Hilarious

[sammichoffate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ1AWOSugmg
He doesn't even acknowledge the fact that Russ put up historic stats and only nitpicks on some "bad" plays in the loss. Some people just can't be helped :facepalm :oldlol:

[Heavincent]

This is the problem with Coach Dick. He has a clear agenda against certain players (mostly Westbrook), and cherry picks bad plays to push said agenda.

[Springsteen]

I think you're misinterpreting the video a little bit. Sure, he calls out a few boneheaded plays by Westbrook, it's not like he didn't call out Tyreke, Durant, and Pontdexter. But it's mainly calling out the stupidity of Scott Brooks to run consecutive pin-down 3-point attempts with plenty of time left on the clock instead of chipping away at the score.

If anything, this video is another indication in a long list of reasons why Scott Brooks is just not the coach for the Thunder.

[Andrew Wiggins]

who is this coach nick guy and why are his opinions enough to warrant threads?

[BlackWhiteGreen]

There will be a hundred articles/videos about how great his game was, the guy gives a different opinion and gets slated :confusedshrug:

[Sakkreth]

Can't believe someone takes coach Dick seriously.

[imdaman99]

Coach Nick has an ISH account. Expect him to google his name in 3 years and bump this thread.

Yeah, he picked a starting point and did an anylysis of every play in the fourth. This isnt a Westbrook hate video like he usually does.

[Blue&Orange]

how is this a wb hate video?

Scott Brooks wears glasses so people think he is smart. Dude is the biggest hack since D'Antoni.

[AirBourne92]

he dislikes players who don't play fundamentally. so he dislikes it when point guards shoot too much.


he also dislikes kobe a lot, and his reasoning is almost crazy, even more than lebron stans who would have a much better argument.

he basically gives kobe credit for being the very player that he is, and then criticizes him for it lol

coach nick is resourceful and you can learn some cool things but like someone else said, he has a clear agenda.

He was some high school coach who got fired and then made a basketball based youtube channel. As to the second part of your question, idk

I agree that Coach Nick picks clips just to suit his agenda, but he's partially right about Westbrook. He is an overrated player, especially defensively.

For every athletic play on the defensive end, there are a bunch of gambles that directly lead to opponent points.

Also, you are really downplaying Westbrook's finish to the game. It could be described as the low IQ chucker's guide to basketball. Just awful stuff. :oldlol:

But it falls on Brooks every bit as much. What a terrible offensive coach.

Edit: I should say that his game overall was fantastic.

[Proctor]

Have been asking myself since the first time I heard the name. Who in the ****. :biggums: And why?

[Euroleague]

I am so sick of this clown Coach Nick. This guy was fired from his job as a high school coach and yet somehow he is qualified as an "expert"?

This guy is an agenda driven troll. Enough already.

[theaussieguy]

hes right, westbrook gets all his points from being an athletic freak, hes not effective as a PG or leading a team because hes a bonehead, his ceiling is limited by his own stupidity. Deal with it.

[SamuraiSWISH]

theaussieguy, and Coach Nick get it. It's easy to dislike Westbrook. He relies exclusively on athleticism. He's retarded. Plays the game so over emotional. And to top it off he's an immature ghetto punk. Very un-likable.

He has horrendous intangibles to have as a team's on court quarterback, and decision maker. His energy through emotion or aggression can carry the team, but it's also ultimately their achilles heel on what holds their potential back. Along with KD's meak physicality, lack of aggression, and Brooks being a terrible coach.

Ultimately Westbrook is a very athletic, albeit dumb player, with equally retarded shot selection, and decision making. He boosts OKC through his ability to attack, and his monkey brain equally holds them back.

[Prime_Shaq]

He mad at Baby Shaq.

which is hilarious considering that historically speaking, all of the greatest point guards save for 2-3 of them were big time scorers and took up a lot of their team's possessions and shots

this. he mainly broke down the end of the game and as spring pointed out, pondexter, tyreke and even durant were also targets. he's been vocal in saying he doesn't like wb's style but did wb not miss three layups/scoops at the end? all he did was show that film footage.

yes, he's biased...as almost all humans are as hard as we try not to be. if you follow his twitter, he's also given wb praise but i guess that's easy to ignore in the overall context. he still breaks down the x's and o's of the game instead of going on full agenda driven rants like some other yt folks do. at least he explains ice defense, pin downs, horns, triangle, shooting mechanics, screening away from the screener, etc.

also, he was fired well after he started making yt vids. he started vids about five years ago. if ppl want to complain, either give me alternatives or you do better. if you can't do that, you're just another person who bitches w/ no solutions

Too bad he was his analytics nerds guzzling his c*m.

No 'expert' is always correct, and we all have our biases.

But as 'analysis' goes, he does just a good of a job out there as some other so-called 'experts' on major sports networks. And he certainly does the best analysis/breakdown anywhere online.

Anybody can have an opinion, he just happens to know more of the technicalities and details about the game and makes videos highlighting them. I don't agree with everything he says, it can be laughable at times, but he's usually on point for the most part.

[andgar923]

But yeah.... Westbrook is an overrated player.

Horrible decisions making chucker.

if he is 0 net impact player then they should just trade him right? shouldn't be hard to find a replacement for a immature ghetto punk with a monkey brain.

He is a top 10 player in the league. Anything else is laughable.

It doesn't speak much about today's league if he's a top 10 player.

Since when did that irrelevant bastard's opinion even matter? Some of you guys acting like he's some big analyst or some shit

he's getting extremely popular among the NBA community now.. like it or not he's becoming/has become a big analyst he's doing what ESPN and NBA tv analysts SHOULD be doing... actually breaking down basketball plays for fans to understand

so you agree.

[CavaliersFTW]

NBA community? explain.
coaches, players, writers, are all on board with his interviews and content and fans are watching it... what needs explained?


his popularity has exploded in the past few years I still remember when his channel was first getting started

[andgar923]

so you agree.

I don't, but if others do, it doesn't look good for the league.

Yup, hate him or love him, he's becoming a legit analyst.

links. I don't follow NBA specific columns so I'm not familiar with people giving this guy any credibility.

..dude go to his Youtube channel and browse athletes, coaches, and NBA senior writers that do segments with him... he gets guys like Kyle Korver to talk about shooting on his channel, Steve Aschburner to talk NBA history and context from a journalist perspective, he talks to current and HOF basketball coaches.

He's big time now, seriously. He's ingratiated himself with legitimate people in the basketball world and fans watch his stuff. Whether you agree with his content or not his content has made him become popular/successful in the community of basketball no way around it.

I'm not trying to hate on him. I seriously don't watch his stuff, not outta any malice tho. If that is the case then good for him.

Thanks tho. I legit had no idea this happened. Guess there was unfulfilled demand in the market and he is filling it. Good for him.

I believe the demand comes from the fact that if you are a fan of sports and sincerely want to understand basketball better, ESPN and NBAtv analysts are legitimately useless... they analyze the social media angle of sports coverage more than anything it's like sports TMZ. Say Lebron's name 15 times during a half hour segment, talk about "wanting it more" and "willing to victory", a Kevin Durant twitter feud etc.

Coach Nick, even if he has biases or w/e any of his detractors might try to point out, actually attempts to talk X's and O's and reveal some of the finer points of how the game is played. It's def a much needed niche. Compare some of his breakdowns of games to Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless's take and oh my you wonder why they are saying what they are on the most watched Sports network in America where as Coach Nick is still on Youtube.

No one has worse shot selection than stephen curry... he shoots multiple deep contested 3s a game and last time I checked he's also a high turnover guy as well. Why don't we hear any talk of Curry's low IQ?... to say westbrook has a low basketball IQ is absurd. Especially considering how well he runs the floor, the break, fills the lane, give his teammates a target to pass to. Being aggressive in getting your own shot doesn't make you a low IQ. GIve me westbrook anyday. When playoff time comes he dominates his PG matchup on both ends.

the steph curry thing will happen eventually. he has never had any expectations until recently. sooner or later people will realize who damaging his reckless playstyle is to playoff basketball, Kerr has had similar compliants. He is also unable to make certain passes in the halfcourt based on his play in the play in the playoffs, although he may have progresses.

Man... and i love Steph Curry, but his shot selection is easily worse than any PG that people wanna call a "low IQ" player and he is every bit as reckless with the ball as another PG. Westbrook is more conducive to winning playoff games than in stephen curry IMO..even when westbrook is having a bad night shooting...his missed layups a lot times end up being O reb opportunities for second chance points..if curry misses those deep 3s that a fastbreak on the other end. Also Westbrooks playoff defense is a coaches dream. Aggressive and phsyical. Westbrook's passion for the game and desire to win at all costs are what drive the thunder despite how horribly coached they are. He allows KD to be that silent Killer that just gets it done.

There is a reason 3pt chucking teams don't do well in the playoffs.

[I.R.Beast]

The russell westbrook hate is grotesque and t's only this bad because his teammate is durant and people feel as though his job is to just pass to durant on every play and not get his own shot. Westbrook is hands down the most hated player in the league and his ability to play as great as he does despite being a media villain is commendable.

When lebron is shooting those ugly fadeaway threes no one says anything. When curry is pulling up from popeyes chicken with a defender in his grill no one says nothing. When Cp3 has an easy layup in the lane and kicks it out to barnes for a brick no one says nothing. The moment westbrook takes his heat check or his contested shot that every superstar in this league has the leeway to take it's "a bad shot", "He's a bonehead" , "He's so dumb".. This guy will literally make 1 or 2 mistakes a game and get's murdered by the media. Everyone ignores what he does in the passing game, the defensive end, on the boards, the emotianal driving force that he is to this team to get their momentum up. THe NBA needs more players like westbrook that gives everything he has to winning the game.

Last year Cp3 made smug comments about westbrook not being a PG...Westbrook came out ravaged cp3 in that series. #Competitor.
