Will Westbrook Lead Lakers To Fire Vogel? 

Lakers would be doing Vogel a favor, just fire him, another team will pick him up in no time, none of these issues are his fault. Front office gutted the team, and brought in worse players to replace what they lost.

I feel like the Nets acquiring Harden pushed the Lakers to hunt for another superstar but all they could get was Russ. I do not understand this trade. The Lakers needed perimeter shooters in which Buddy made sense. Now the Lakers lost perimeter defense in Caruso, and another shooter in KCP for Russ who is bad at both of those things.

As a Kings fan, I am so grateful yet baffled why the Lakers didn't go after Buddy. Dude is a reliable scorer and he helped massively in one of our wins against the Lakers this season with over three clutch three pointers.

20 minutes! Coach Nick u a legend fr

The fact that you can make a full-length video of the lakers defensive woes from a SINGLE game. Crazy.

I remember when your videos would get downvoted for exposing Westbrook. I love how everyone realized what he is. Coach Nick was always honest and ahead of the curve.

I’m here for the bball puns and humor. The basketball breakdown and analysis is just icing in the cake

As I've started watching basketball (2006), this is one of the biggest disappointments as a Laker fan in its history. This trade made no sense when their only reason to acquire WB was to carry the load when LBJ and/or AD is out. I lost the passion in supporting this team, they play with no ball movement and no energy. We could've gotten Lowry last year, Derozan AND Hield this year. Disappointments in order, for me: 1. Kobe-Nash-Howard Season 2. Westbrook trade 3. Breaking up the 2020 roster.

That segment about bank shots illustrated how good of a player Tim Duncan was....an intelligent player with a smooth shooting touch,while it shows Westbrook as being manic and out of control....

Coach nick is about to make me cry from how sad the lakers seasons been and I’m a sad Celtic fan 😂

Westbrooks over paid contracts ruin the lakers too. dude doesn’t bring the value of his contract, plain and simple. But LeGM is friends with all these older players. We’ll let them have their old fun

Vogel will pay for the acting GM and paper GM's multiple faults. They cut out all shooting and defence and brought in 12 new players and now the coach gets the blame. Not fair but that's the business. Hell get another job no problem.

Seeing fading stars like Russ, makes me appreciate Golden State and San Antonio's approach of the game.

Im sittin here dying at "🎵When we were younger"🎶💀 Coach, your content is always top tier 😂

Trading for Russ was so dumb, they could've gotten multiple shooters/defenders/role players instead of 1 ballhog

Yeah Bron messed up. Bad move by him and the front office. Like you said, Hield would have been a perfect fit and we could have brought other players from last season’s n

The only faults I can see on Vogel are bad rotations and bad timeout management and that is only sometimes and their main issues are still defense and lack of effort, why they traded the #1 defensive for Russ is still a big question

Almost every ad transition from Coach is good but this one was truly GOAT. Like I didn't even see it coming.

Vogal needs to be fired for playing Ariza when he had 0 points, 4 turnovers 0-5 from 3 for extended minutes

I love that you talk about their lack of communication with “can we just talk” playing the the background. Legendary.

Hilarious intro! Great vid as always coach! Edit: I vibed through this whole video. Made these horrible plays so much easier to watch 🤣

great video as usual but that might have been the best sponsor insert i've seen in a while

Coach was spitting pure pain on this one 🙏🤝🙌

Coach didn't have to do Adele like that 😂

I think it’s not just the front office… remember Lebron and AD have major influence in this and are friends with Westbrook and had plenty of dinners together. I think the front office initially chose Hield over Westbrook but ended up on where we at now.

You don't know how much I've waited you to make a video about westbrick again like literally visiting your channel everyday to check on it 😆

Probably the biggest problem with Lebron in the post-prime part of his career is that, even though he’s still obviously a smart and capable defender when he wants to, he only seems to really try on defense when other people on the team are trying and he thinks it’s worth it. In their 2020 title season they had a great defense and Lebron was a big part of it, but he also had AD, Caruso and Kuzma all keeping him honest end. But with slouches like Westbrook and Melo out there it’s almost like he decides it’s not worth it to put the extra effort in.

Thank you for putting Madness by muse in this video because I just realized that I didn’t have it in my throwback playlist and that’s one of my favorite throwback songs

I hope this season becomes a lesson to the Lakers that not always chasing after Star power in return of losing depth to your team is the key to winning.

LMAO, coach this is the funniest video you've ever made. That shit at 14:40 had my dying. Also, maybe I just love laughing at a bad Lakers team.

Memphis should be in the conference finals this year they’re so good

you have outdone yourself with the intro ! and 14:41 burst out laughing hahaha Love your videos !

honestly after that "benching" thing russ has played a lot well. seems he always does when someone points out his critical flaws. just like turnovers. ever since that 9 turnover game, mans been averaging only 1 and a half TO's. he played well tonight. Hopefully it continues

I like the music and edits on this one! Makes it all the more interesting 😅👏🏼

U can’t not start a 40 million player. Even though everyone says he’ll do better with a 2nd unit

The Adele intro is killing me 😅🤣😂🤣...It's like it was written for them.

At this point, we just need hustle guys. Guys that show a lot of heart. Our defence has been atrocious. Like nobody in the team cares about playing defence. I don’t doubt how different our defence will look if Caruso didn’t leave.

first 10 minutes of this content was pure comedy, the songs and instrumentals were spot on I laughed the whole first half of the video. great job coach 🤟🏽

12:58 This *right here* is why Russ has so many triple doubles. And this is why chasing stats it so cancerous for teams, he is playing the game to get a rebound, not to stop his man scoring, not to break up a play, not to help on D, *to get a rebound.*

woah i better grab some popcorn! 20 minutes of coach nick!

Can the Lakers fire Lebron the GM and keep LeBron the player?

Man. That opening song was a brilliant choice. Laughed out loud.

the problem I see here is Russ, Lebron and Melo have a "superstar" status. Means they are not used to be the "effort" players. When all 3 of them are on the court, most of them just watch the ball and wait until it comes to their hands. Especially they are no longer in their prime. This shows how role players are important. When they did loose Caruso, KCP, Kuzma. Lakers definitely loose there "effort" players.

The intro had me rolling. LMAO nice upload coach

They could've gotten lowry and derozan. We all know what lowry can do, but we doubt derozan. Now I'm just happy that the lakers disrespected my former raptor boys.

Great start to the video LOL love you bballl king

Westbrook is absolute right, in fact missed-shoots and turnovers are absolute the core of his game. They should simply send him to the g-league.

The video I've been waiting for. I just knew it was coming 😂.

It’s crazy that deal didn’t go through for Buddy Hield.

the way coach nick transitioned to the ad for manscaped was very smooth.

coach has always been rightfully critical of westbrook’s game

Coach I broke into laughter 5 seconds into the vid 🤣

I wonder what Lebron was thinking here… :58 it’s almost impossible to have a TO like that….

Just a heads up Coach record labels are really jerks about copyright claims on long clips of songs. Love your videos!

Could you please make a video on why the Suns are so dominant this year and why they are rated top 5 in best defense and offense?

Love your videos I don't miss them , I wait till I get home from work to relax and watch it . Only one thing , be careful how you playing those songs I don't want to see your videos getting REMOVED or COPYRIGHT STRIKES other than that keep up the good work

The worst thing about Russ, is how absolutely delusional he is. How he takes zero accountability and makes excuses that don’t make sense. He’s damn lucky he’s been able to be a basketball player for a job, because he’s obviously not that bright.

Pretty great choice on the music coach! I wasn't expecting Adele to hit so hard lol

The main problem is the changing of the roster so much in 3 years. You can’t win a chip when you constantly change your personnel so much. Lakers literally panicked when harden went to the nets lowkey and that’s why they got Russ and insurance in the event ad or bron get hurt. The lakers were good in the 2020-2021 season but they just got injured. They should’ve kept the same core and got hield, kept caruso, still trade Kcp kuzma montrez but not for Russ but for other players. Still get melo but keep the core.

The music choices are on point in this vid!

They should've never broken up last seasons team,that team was better than this year if they removed shrouder before deadline they'd be straight

Wow, amazing video. Loved the background music

This is probably the worst decision James ever made to have Russ. I really feel bad for him.

nice analysis, and song choices. Adele brought a tear to my eye, just like the Lakers season 😢

Always thought Westbrook winning MVP was fraudulent. All based on stat padding at OKC. It was so obvious but nobody called him out until after he won MVP.

I'm here for the music inputs, you don't miss

Everything is LeBron's fault. He put this shit team together.

Coach got in his creative bag for this one!!!

I mean, Vogel did get the Lakers a ring, now that LeGM & the front office put together a flaming pile of sh*t team, it’s suddenly his fault?

Yoooo the music caught off guard 😂😂😂😂😂 good job coach!

this team would have been a dynasty 10 years ago

Lol that Adele is so perfect. I'm invested.

A lot of your points and those in the comments are great and ones I constantly think of as a big laker fan, who is distraught that after winning a title in year 1 of Bron and AD, we could’ve fallen so far in so little time. Even just last year, we were #1 in net rating in the league until AD got hurt. I do think though that the buddy stuff is overblown. You’d be losing your top big wing and likely Caruso as well. A rotation of Bron, AD, kcp, buddy, Dwight, and let’s just say the same guys of this year like monk, bradley, melo, etc is really not that great a team. I’d probably guess that with Bron and AD combining to miss over 30 games so far this year, they’d be having a very similar year to Denver where their net rating is respectable and they’re slightly above 500 in the 6 seed. Also buddy in the playoffs always worried me and losing ac and kuz (and schroder who was a solid poa defender for us last year) and only replacing them with offense only guys would’ve been tough to sustain a great defense. I’m in no way justifying the Russ trade, I’m of the opinion that they messed things up the first off season when they traded Danny (and the first rounder that would’ve been Desmond bane) and javale, while letting Avery, Dwight, and rondo go. Anyways, let’s Pray they realize their mistakes and optimize all the cap space they’ll have after next season

love the choice of music

Tbh if we traded for buddy we would still have caruso

I feel like it's not commented on enough, but between the editing on the opening and the ad reads, Coach Nick is friggin hilarious

Vogel played Russ 32 mins in the heats game and when Vogel brought back russ lakers went on a 14-4 run. But it was too little too late cause Vogel didn’t play russ for 12 mins

i hope manscaped is giving you a bag, you got da best ads for them

This is funny 😭

haha that 2nd mid range for russ, he was only shooting that second one to be like, " see i was aiming for backboard in" nah bro lol

The roster is a mess and there is nothing the coach can do to salvage it. Perhaps Vogel can push the defense a little harder so the Lakers at least try to defend but that ain't gonna win them another title...

Seeing Lakers like this made me realize that Bucks, Spurs, Warriors and Suns has a great coaching staff.

The truth is Russ never evolved his game as he aged and his poor shooting and lack of movement off ball results in other teams hanging out on LeBron/AD or Laker's shooters. Crazy to think the Lakers could have traded for Lowry last year sending THT to the Raptors and also had room to sign DeRozan and resigned Caruso. Potential starting 5: Lowry, Caruso, DeRozan, LeBron, Davis... ouch

that into was absolute 🔥🔥🔥

Seeing Russ not getting close to 10 assists is really alarming. The 2nd half of last season he was putting on a passing clinic with the Wizards. His greatest skills are driving and kicking and rebounding. The Lakers don’t have him involved in doing the things he’s great at. Russ playing off the ball is worthless.

BBALLBREAKDOWN has the best transition into sponsored messages 😂😂😂

I’m at a point I think his vision is shot 😅 not being funny but Russ act like someone who be way too stubborn to get precription glasses or goggles to wear on the court bc his turnover & miss shot are so far gone it’s crazy especially when they say he worked on his shot during summer practice. He gotta have blurred vision. Yeah his bball IQ always kinda low but he got by off athleticism. The game has changed n a PG can’t shoot & get dimes then your a dinosaur. Hell Derrick Rose listen & got right yet Russ bullheaded as always never worked on that part of his game smh

much better! I do not miss your original music that played throughout the video love your work though

LBJ is reaping what he sow. Turns out that the Lakers front office were considering to trade for Hield, which makes sense without losing too much. But LBJ and Davis talked to Russ about teaming up.... Pretty much shows that superstar playmakers don't make good GMs

Everything about that promo was GOAT level!

This dude loves to throw subtle jabs at Lebron everytime he can and masks it as 'analysis'.... you dont like him we get it, but try to be objective, what a joke

Excellent music choices coach

What a great great video elite editing

That ad read was hilarious. Well done coach

The dramatic music with stuff like "Carl's Cam" on the screen really gets me.

Love the videos with the fitting song intro. I remember you did them in the playoffs

I cannot believe you used that adele song in the beginning lmao

The choice of music in this is 💯

i’m loving the music coach!

Oh coach nick on a whole new level of trollin. Playin Adele...🤣
