when lebron is hustling and running into the crowd at 38, it gives the team an added boost. the energy in LA is electric and its evident the team feeds off of it. they were doing goat noises "bahhhh" for bron after the first round against the grizzlies. this is a team with a really good culture and healthy atmosphere. especially in LA and when lebron makes his shots and drives to the basket, the lakers take their game to a whole other level

And Lonnie in limited minutes showed promise on Klay. Klay and Steph are gonna get buckets no matter who you throw at them, but the Lakers have definitely shown they can defend at a high level.

Lakers have been inconsistent all season, even after the trades. AD will have a monster game one night and then score 11 pts the next. Dlo will be a liability one game and a knockdown shooter the next. Vanderbilt, while a greate defender, lacks any threat as a shooter which hinders the lakers. Lebron is old and is averaging less ppg than any of his previous playoff runs, he can't do everything anymore. That's all to say that the lakers are contenders when they play well, but they look like trash when their players are off. Dlo and AD specifically need to keep it up in order for the lakers to win

Don't worry Laker fans. The Warriors will lose in 6. They can't beat LA in the paint if AD is healthy and playing well. He and LeBron can score at will from 2 point range and can't be guarded. All the Lakers have to do is 2 things. 1 is get Green in foul trouble or make him struggle. 2nd is contain Klay or Steph to 20 points. They can't recover from the 3 if both happen; and that's even if Steph scored 40. It's an even worse beating for Golden State if Poole struggles as well. There only hope is to make LA shoot from distance. Good luck with that lol.

[@ChroniclerOfJudah]

When both teams play to their strengths, we saw who wins, the Lakers. Game 1 was proof of that, the Lakers winning shouldn’t surprise anyone but you were also the one who picked their opponents to win in every round during their championship run. Great breakdown as always.

[@Simplemaf]

Why is no one giving the Lakers credit for good defense. It's all about what the Warriors didn't rather than what the Lakers did. And look at the f/u to game two, it was all about what the Warriors did and how the Lakers aren't equiped to compete... i think it's sadly all born out of hate for LeBron. They are sooooo worried he beats Steph as an underdog. Cause they know it'll shatter all the comparisons. *when things are equal Bron seems to be the better player. Just saying... Warriors were favored again this series. It's still a long series, anything can happen but just because you choose to frame the loses as self-inflicted doesn't mean it's the truth. I sense this is more of a confidence booster for Coach and the Warriors fan base.

[@doubledragon2101]

Almost all the media are warriors fan. Always find there is a big hole in the warriors system. Hopefully, lakers can exploit them this time.

@Double dragon Lakers just need to stick to the game plan. There are no more adjustments to be made, well, nothing substantial... they'll probably start Poole or Moody tonight in place of Looney and play Draymond out of the post following the Vando switch to Curry...

I respectfully disagree with you. Obviously, the Warriors can't be fully neutralized because they're too offensive skilled. However, the Lakers are built to beat them, if not, give them trouble. They've been taking advantage of their lack of interior size. They have a bevy of bodies they can throw at Steph and Klay. Their guard rotation is stronger. They're physical and they defend without fouling while also drawing a lot of fouls. They've handled the Warriors pretty well for the most part.

[@joinerSUjagsbluengol]

Lol Warriors fans in the comments talking about corrupt officiating? If he's going to make a video pointing at the fouls, he should also make a video of all of the moving screens the warriors set and have set historically. Look, I HATE how the playoffs have been officiated across the board. I love physical play, but will admit theyve been really inconsistent and the amount of physicality allowed has been head scratching to me, (especially when there are obvious fouls being committed). I think the warriors got a few fouls called on them that were DELAYED whistles, which as a fan of the game I HATE. Refs waiting to see if something goes in before calling a foul, is just nasty work to me and Warriors were victims of that multiple times in game 3. HOWEVER, on each of those delayed whistles, they had actually fouled. On one Lebron fast break he got fouled TWICE and they didn't call the whistle until after the ball starting coming off of the rim. But, the warriors are a really finesse team. The Lakers and Warriors committed almost the same amount of fouls in game 3 (GSW22 v. Lakers 21). The difference is, the warriors rarely attack the basket to score and they certainly don't attack the basket as much as the lakers. I mean Reaves who baits fouls as part of his game, didn't have a FT in either of game 1 or game 2. The Lakers don't shoot anywhere near as close to as well as the Warriors so their game has always been get fouled and dont foul. They're the best in the league at those two, while the warriors are at the bottom. The only scorer on the lakers team who can be considerd a competent jump shooter is DLO and even he can be very shaky. The others? AD, Bron, Reaves, Schroder, they all attack the basket. On GSW, what do Klay, Steph, and JP do? shoot jumpshots, typically away from the basket. If anything, one has to wonder how in game 2, the warriors shot one less FT than the lakers since their approaches to the game are so different. For any GSW fan out there, I do implore you to watch how often Looney and Draymond set illegal screens or pick people as they give the ball to shooters. You'll be surprised how much the refs let slide to allow the free-flowing elements of your offense to continue to flow. But Given all of the outcry, I suspect the Warriors will shoot more FTs tonight and the Lakers will shoot less than game 3. However, if these games were called fairly, the Lakers would be expected to shoot significantly more FTs in every game than the warriors and the warriors would be expected to hit significantly more 3s. Those trends have been true in every game except 1.

[@LEBUMCHOKEDIN6FINALS]

AND do we have to really explain the FTs? the only players on your team who attack the hoop are curry and Wiggins (occasionally) the warriors shoot 40+ 3s a game. Yes, it's going to be difficult to get to the FT line when you're setting so many (illegal) screens to GET separation from a defender, because of the separation, it is ultimately harder to get FOULED. Are you keeping up? Also, the calls Steph has gotten attacking the rim have been largely softer fouls of a type that haven't been called across the board this entire playoffs. Many have been fouls, I will admit, but I've watched every series and most instances of minor contact have not been called consistently. He's certainly experiencing far less contact than Lebron, AD, and Reaves, as he attacks the hoop. It's a stylistic difference. The Lakers can't shoot anywhere near as well as the warriors, they attack the rim, a lot. The warriors have no rim protectors. They also don't have many good defenders. GP3 is a good guard defender, but Klay is past his best. Steph never was a great defender. Wiggins is excellent. Draymond is excellent but he's being asked to defend a guy 5 inches taller than him and 40 lbs larger than him, who's extremely athletic. And the refs still allow him to get away with a lot. Also, the warriors foul a lot and the lakers dont??? that's just statistically been the case for each team all season. Did you find that answer satisfactory? Anyway, series aint over. Warriors still have a chance. They've gotta shoot better and hope the refs swallow the whistle because they can NOT guard the lakers without fouling consistently.

[@blakstar8219]

But yet GS fans keep saying the refs are helping the Lakers...smh

[@getTheSchmack]

Coach is a Warriors homer and stan.. lol Even when giving credit you're slighting the lakers and stanning for the warriors. "Can you hear me shaking my head?"

[@orbitzzzz]

I can feel your bitterness coach nick 😋

[@regentneo]

You’re right. Only the warriors can beat the warriors. Lakers in 8

[@blakstar8219]

How are the Lakers not built to beat the Warriors?? The only thing the Warriors do better is shoot 3s, Lakers have a size advantage and are better defensively and have clear advantage with AD as they cant do anything to stop him. The Warriors have to shoot lights out every nite to have a chance, what is he even saying?

[@cell2raw604]

He’s saying nothing at all just bs

[@ave383]

Yeah claiming moody grabbed his foot is one of the most vile narratives I've seen. It's almost as if none of you can think for yourselves. If the refs called it it must be the law. Don't actually cover the game just cover the narratives. I just slowed that footage down and you and those refs need to apologize to moody. AD flopped. Moody never grabbed at anything. When he falls @6:44 both his arms are up bracing him from banging his head on the floor. AD steps over his left arm and as AD is stepping over him moody turn to get up off the floor and AD trips and fall. There was no grabbing AD's foot. Where in the clip above does moody grab AD's FOOT! I really hate liars and you just lied. For what reason I have no clue.

[@ZombieGirlDad]

Give Lonnie minutes please!

[@hakeemjoseph4826]

That outro one-liner was incredible

[@danielmendoza5742]

The lakers are able to beat the warriors but the warriors are also able to beat the lakers it’s clashing styles there opposites the biggest difference is the lakers are a much better coached team on the floor

[@samuelchan6439]

Coach thanks for the video. With all due respect, your view over the turnout on the remains games of the series does not only hinge on whether the defending champ can or cannot bounce back; but whether Lakers can keep up the same level of energy game in and game out. Your view is deemed to be way too biased and I suggest you not to put too much bet onto one team at the next game my friend.

[@youtubewatcher6124]

2:13 you called it Coach props to you after game4

[@Mahdi_Amine]

4:25 lebron and AD walking in sink

[@David-ht9jz]

Ya you gotta credit AD more. In the warriors run they've never faced a big like AD. This guy can guard the paint, perimeter, and everything. There's only one other guy who comes to mind and that Kevin Garnett. AD defensively is at that level and I totally disagree. This series is the Lakers to lose not the warriors. Lakers are the better deeper team.

[@hungryalien]

yes AD is definitely the key to this series. GSW is simply gassed out at this point.

[@weksauce]

2:06 "Easy catch and finish" Hardly. A.D. got BLOCKED by Wiggins! Very lucky to hold onto it and finish. Any slightly different timing or positioning and the block would have succeeded.

[@abdullamasud4278]

"It just feels to me that lakers are no built to beat the warriors, but warriors are built to beat the warriors" xD

[@JakeBee8]

The Lakers need to capitalize this opportunity. Now is the perfect time to knock out these Worry-ers, this series. They're one-dimensional, too little, and overall Not very good. Next year they might improve dramatically. But today, Lakers are just too much for this team. Lakers gotta go and go now. Today.

[@me3zz]

26 free throws vs 6 in the first half is the only breakdown needed

[@mouseandkeyboard1009]

Lmao. Stop watching your GSW game cuz you don't know anything about basketball.

[@rohinrelan3075]

Same excuse every time 🤣🤣

[@me3zz]

Actually it's rare to see disparities like that. Especially in a single series, so go under the rock u came from u casual @Rohin Relan

[@aristotleasis867]

That's exactly what analytics said about the 2016 Cavs but they were Champs at the end. 0.3% chance Lakers make the playoffs this season but they are on their way of possibly winning the second round of playoffs tonight. There are always things that cannot be factored even from the best analysts. Coach Nick said it himself, Lakers are not built to beat the Warriors on paper but here we are looking at the Lakers leading 3-1.

[@TheSuperENGRs-fu3xo]

I hope you bring back the postgame liveshow coach

[@lesterdelacruz5088]

No one gonna talk about the severe free throw disparity? Wish more people talked about it.

[@Bidoof504]

what about the 3 point attempt disparity?

[@raizen5389]

Try watching the whole game not just the box score

[@Bidoof504]

yeah also the warriors were bottom free throw shooting team in the regular season, lakers were the most, also the warriors are one of the most fouling teams

[@kirbystarwell3701]

Lakers are not built to beat the Warriors and the warriors are built to beat the Lakers. Ok coach, we'll see. Should be a fun series.

[@cqgator]

Great video

[@sunialeota8518]

They are built to beat them now😂

[@bonifacioandres6312]

watching this after the game 4 win by the Lakers hope u make a video of it

[@Headsortails513]

You mean how refs bailed out the lakers again… game 1 and 3 if your just a fan boy you just want to see your favorite player win but if your a fan of the game like myself you’ll see all the BS that dictates who wins the game,all season long lakers are bailed out by the refs specially the Timberwolves game it’s a sad sad times for basketball

[@apun94]

Very interesting observations
