Kemba Walker And Jeremy Lin Lift The Hornets Over The Heat in Game 4

[@dmoneybay]

Lin is getting paid 2 million to win playoff games.

[@xSyNeRaX]

he gets bare just from Chinese endorsements tho like 20-30 mil

[@czgzdhsgj]

this is legit. for a non basketball fan/player, I'm actually understanding and appreciating the technical aspect of the sport. nicely done.

[@rockstarr3032]

Lin has proven he deserves to be on a roster. Guy never complains, never flops, plays hard every time and has the potential to light up the scoreboard. Almost perfect example of a 6th man type of player

[@CLINTTHECOOL]

Agreed. I meet him and he's a great dude!

[@batmantheballer2533]

Never flops? You're kidding, right? I've been watching this whole series and Lin has been flopping his ass off

[@austinh22]

+Rockstarr303 never flops? lmao. do i need to show you proof? he throws his head back every time he dribbles

[@TheGeorgeD13]

+Austin Heffernan Still... everybody does that... flopping is rewarded in this league. You're taught to flop, or otherwise you're not doing enough to help your team and you'll get benched. That's how it works.

[@xtaekneekx]

+Batman The Baller The NBA Eben had to acknowledge that for whatever reason, Lin has not been awarded flagrant foul calls relative to how much he has been abused throughout the season. Do you blame the guy for trying to get his way when he rarely does? whenever players are asked during interviews, they always say that Lin never complains despite getting clotheslined or getting hit by an elbow.

Great breakdown Coach!

+Baan dhesi Thanks! #ImIn

+Baan dhesi Awesome THANKS!

[@mrzack888]

Lin is underpaid.

[@levelazn]

+mrzack888 Lin doesn't need money, he can make money in the off season with sponsorship. endoresment money is greater than NBA salary. He can make 20-30 million a year in chinese endoresment alone.

[@ampecsu]

+Ruoyu Li agreed but that has nothing to do with his player salary.

[@levelazn]

he just needs to win. If he wanted to get paid he would have one to a diff team.

[@ballinboxer3676]

+mrzack888 He had a down year in LAL which really hurt his wallet. But there's no doubt in my mind that he can get about 4-5 mill per year in his next contract.

[@DT-ov9sj]

+WormChemistry no more like 8 mil

Take an L with your oldass 2015 comment.

[@agregs30]

Really like that Kaminsky wrinkle of him down screening and then popping out to the 3pt line. While Kemba and Al attack downhill, Kaminsky is spotting up while on the move in the opposite direction putting tremendous pressure on the defense to pick and choose their poison

[@TPK23]

S/O to Coach Nick for the Lin video earlier this season. I always wondered why he was so bad in LA. Needs the ball early and often in P/R to be effective.

[@rjcarless]

At 7:45, during Lee's step-through move, isn't it not a travel because his left foot could be his pivot foot, not his right?

[@CarterCote]

Can you please talk about the Celtics and why they can't win on the road in Atlanta? It's frustrating as a fan when they chuck up threes, but there has to be more than that. Could you possibly explain??..

[@jyeung27]

hey coach. can you please do a breakdown on the raptors and pacers game 5? especially what led to the raps comeback in the 4th.thanks

[@duncanreilly5656]

ive been waiting for this....

[@dangam3642]

The NBA knows Miami is a treat, and they don't want Miami to ruin their plans. #MiamiHeatvsCharlotteHornetsSeriesRigged

[@amaanreer5311]

make a video about how the pacers have locked down derozan and lowry.

[@maximmokhonko3921]

Thumbs up for the breakdown, as always. I don't know if you have noticed but Cody Zeller seems to be affecting the way Hornets play while he is on the court in a very positive way. Over the 4 games in this series he has a total of +18 in the +/- rating (in comparison: Walker -38, Jefferson -36, Kaminsky 7) and is averaging nifty +4.5 once again over the 4 games with only J. Lin having higher total and average plus/minus rating of +25 and +6.25 respectively. And it's just something that I have noticed while watching the Hornets vs Heat games, that Hornets always seem to go on a run when Zeller comes out to play while things are not as good with Big Al on the court. So for me as more of a maths and stats guy, who never played basketball, would be very interesting if you could analyze and compare the way Hornets play with Cody Zeller or Al Jefferson on the court.

Did he just call Al Jefferson "Big Al"? Lol. When he said that I was like "Where is Al Horford."

[@elvero666]

Respeck that name

[@bballbreakdown]

+Jeremy Hamilton I always thought Big Al was Jefferson.. is that not right??

[@jahamilton]

BBALLBREAKDOWN I always hear Big Al being Al Horford. I guess that other people say Jefferson is Big Al, but I swear I've heard people call Horford Big Al.

[@elvero666]

Jeremy Hamilton Jefferson is the original Big Al. He's been in the league longer than Horford :)

[@jahamilton]

***** But Al Horford has had a better career so far.

[@levelazn]

Miami been sleeping on Jeremy's game for their own detriment

[@glennnidoy5581]

keep it up Lin!

[@h0twire15]

How is that a travel on Courtney Lee at 7:45? He moved the right foot so his left foot is his pivot foot. He never moved both feet.

[@PizzyONLY]

+h0twire15 she shuffled his right foot, moved it out of position which mad him jump forward with that awkward shot, was a travel still

[@mrpoda7]

[@bballbreakdown]

+KSZN Good question and great idea.. Not sure I'll have time before they actually hire somebody but I'll try.

[@RtsFps1]

I keep reading Kemba Walker as Kev Jumba lol RIP

[@epicDuftbaum]

They said that the first round will be boring. Well, we got the dominant wins of the Spurs, OKC and Cavs, maybe Dubs, but apart from them, every other series is at 2:2. The Clippers will not go through, not with Paul and Griffin injured. Sad to hear that :( I hope that the rest of the players will stay healthy.

[@riggygoyal]

Well that's because the first games of the playoffs were huge wins. but a lot of those teams that got blown out have came back, like the hornets

[@NBA2KLTT17]

It was Mufassa's voice while saying "Kemba"..

[@ThousandairesClub]

Kemba is a New York/Connecticut representer all the way and he is the embodiment of east coast basketball. i think Miami will and SHOULD advance....but wouldnt be surprised at all if Kemba finds a way to beat them with JEREMY LIN FRYING UP THAT RICE RIGHT BESIDE HIM.

[@bballbreakdown]

+Da Ga I just didn't have enough time to go through the game like I would've needed to for that...

[@dangam3642]

BBALLBREAKDOWN Oh, OK

[@Kareem-cx4fi]

+BBALLBREAKDOWN Nice breakdown. Heat aren't gonna shoot like they did in the first 2 games. That was an anomaly. They do not have the personal to have continued that kind of shooting. Not even when Lebron was there had they ever had a point differential like that in the playOffs. Both teams are not that good on the road but play well at home. I expect the Heat to win game 5. If Batum comes back and the hornets are able to win game 6, I say Hornets in 7.

[@bballbreakdown]

+Da Ga I just didn't have enough time to go through the calls like I would've liked

MH averaged 18.3 fouls a game in the regular season, in the playoffs they are averaging 23.8🤔 The hornets are averaging 19.3 and lin has drawn 24 fouls 😑 As many as lbj or harden in the playoffs 😱

[@jwavy8366]

+BBALLBREAKDOWN isnt wierd how almost every heat player said after the game when asked about the refs they said "I dont want to get fined" i never complain about calls but yesterday was astounding

[@liammulgrew55]

But what happened in game 6 and 7? Did Kemba show up in game 7? The Answer is no. He's a choker and if it wasn't for Jeremy Lin that season then the Hornets would've missed the Playoffs Lin is one of Kemba's Regular Season Life savers

[@h.ali.0454]

Hey Coach Nick, can you do "should Kawhi Leonard really have won DPOY?", because, call me crazy, but I feel like Lebron deserved it more. Lebron's OpFG% was 37.4% while Kawhi's was 39.2%, Lebron's OpFG% differential was -7.4%, while Kawhi was only -5.7%, and within 10 ft, Lebron's OpFG% was 45.7% while Kawhi's was 46.2%. While some may say that this is because Lebron gets saved by the help defense, the Cavs as a team only rank 10th in defense this year, while Kawhi is on the best defensive team in the league with one of the greatest rim protectors of all time in Tim Duncan, so if anything, Kawhi might get bailed out at times by the Spurs help defense, not Lebron. I'm not trying to take away from Kawhi at all, but I'm just pointing out that statistically, Lebron is the better defender, so why didn't he win?

The Heat are day and night between at home and on the road. I still have us winning in 6 but that officiating in the 4th Q last night was disgraceful. Lin was practically getting '09 LeBron calls. Unbelievable but we still have to play better. Wade has to stop playing like DeRozan, Dragic looks like he's 39 on the court, and Winslow bricks open threes. Infuriating but we got this #HeatNation

[@dangam3642]

+Kevin Surur I swear refs hate Miami. #RiggedSeries

[@bigty390]

+Da Ga gtfoh Why will the refs helps the Hornets when everyone want to see Heat vs Cavs

[@KS-jn7bs]

Tyron Wells It's not really about them helping the Hornets. It's just the fact that officiating has been in favor for the Hornets for a majority of the series. Lin is averaging 6.5 FTin 27.8 MPG compared to 3.7 FT in 26.3 MPG in the regular season and is getting a ridiculous amount of touch fouls in the process. His non call foul on Deng for the loose ball was evident that they tried to give the Hornets game 4. I do admit though that Miami should be playing on the road. 7-9 since the AS break is poor.

[@bigty390]

Kevin Surur He'll no

+BBALLBREAKDOWN Sure thing, It just served for an amusing moment :) Love the vids!

[@futurevideo10]

*Kemba was -7 in this game, Lin was +17, Lin was +24 over Kemba, a big difference. Kemba's 34 points were negative to Hornets, it was better for him to defend better rather than being a ball hog.* *Lin spent a lot of his energy bailing out Kemba and the other starters, they shouldn't stayed on the floor so much, should let Zeller and Spencer played more with Lin. Zeller was +20, Spencer+10.* *4 or the 5 starters were minus, they caused more losts than they gained.* *1/3 of points came from Lin and Zeller alone! They contributed to 60% of the plus points.* *Kemba has been minus in 3 of the 4 playoff games, Lin was plus in 3 of the 4 playoff games.* Title of this video should be *Linsanity & Zeller Lift The Hornets Over The Heat in Game 4*

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

Plus/Minus is a highly flawed statistic as Kemba clearly closed the game out when Lin got tired. Do watch the games or just look at stats?

[@ballinboxer3676]

+futurevideo10 Dude, who the hell uses +/- as a basis for seeing who is better. +/- mostly just means that the players you were with weren't hitting shot while you were on the floor and the other was. It has nothing to do with individual performances. Just look at how he is supposedly a + in game 3 when that's been his worst game so far. Kemba closed this game out. Kemba tried to close out game 1 and 2. Give credit where credit is due.

[@futurevideo10]

WormChemistry *Kemba and his garbage starters were mostly minus in the last two playoff games.* *In this game (#4), 4 of 5 the garbage dream starters were minus. Lin was exhausted because he had to constantly win back the points lost by the garbages like Kemba who was -7, Lin was +17 when game finished.*Lin was very tired due to his hard work bailing out Kemba and his gang, stupid dumb Cliffail kept them inefficient starters on the floor, but didn't let plus players like Zeller and Hawes play longer time.* *Lin saved Kemba's ass. Kemba had the luxury of shooting that many times and scored 34 points all because of Lin hustling and defending. Kemba and the other dream starters were parasites, they leeched from Lin and Zeller who was actually better than Kemba and the other 4 starters. Zeller was +20.* *Lin plays best with Zeller and even Hawes. The total points of Lin and Zeller contributed to 1/3 of the total Hornet game points in the playoff game 3 and 4. Their plus were highest. In game 3 the total of plus points from Lin and Zeller contributed to 1/3 of the total plus points gained by all Hornets players. In game 4 total plus points from Lin and Zeller contributed to over 60%.*

[@ballinboxer3676]

futurevideo10 So you still won't acknowledge the fact that the +/- system is basically just for show and doesn't really mean anything? Okay. Tell you what, get league pass and actually watch the games.

[@futurevideo10]

WormChemistry *When it's minus it means that during the time the player on the floor he was directly or indirectly responsible for points lost to the other team. Players can score all they want but scoring in a game means nothing unless they are plus points, because all those points gained from scoring are less than the points lost to the other team*. *Kemba wants to be another Kobe ball hog cares only about shooting and nothing else. Kobe shoots all he wants but in the end he lost because he lost more points to the other team regardless he scored a lot. Defense is just as important, if not more than scoring.* *Kemba scored 34 points but at the same time he lost 41 points to the other team. He was -7 in game 4. He had the luxury of scoring because Lin. Kemba and his starters had only 4 points when Heat had 13. Lin saved Kemba's ass and lift Hornets to way ahead of Heat, but stupid Kemba only cared about scoring but poor defense, Heat quickly catch up and erased all the plus points Lin had created for them, then Lin went in to rescue them again, but later those starter bums drop back to the bottom again. If not for all the plus points Lin had created Hornets would lost big time to Heat. FACT!* *Plus/Minus stats are there for a very good reason. Only dumb people don't know how important is +/- in NBA games. Dumb people watch stupid ball hogs like Kobe shoot balls all night long but in the end it's a lost game. Lakers is one of the lowest standing teams in NBA.*
