Warriors vs Knicks GM-67

yup! if refs arent callin nonsense, the defense is gonna step it up on him

Mikey H

Sure it should and when we have it we ought to consider how much of that is a carry over of he and several bench players being called on for the most part of the season to play roles foreign to their strengths. Doing so plays havoc on shooters rythem. We saw Podski go through a drought. The challenge is Buddy legacy. He is a high performance instinctrual shooter. Feel it an shoot it not thonk about it then shoot. I believe that stnt where Kerr had players passing everything to Steph including 2 ft layup hurt a number of players from maximizing their output. 3 of them gone. 3 left. Moody found his grove throw elevating his Dfence. JK through attacking the rim. Buddy don't have either of those skills but because when he get his feet under him, he can shoot lights out so Kerr would be fool to have traded him. Kerr just needbto dial his minutes back as he has so he can play without the pressure to score 29 points night. Once Jimmy start scoring I believe you will see Buddy point go way up. Steph JK? Jimmy? Buddy?

Steph Lanister : Giant Killer!!! Wow - 🤯

Ryan Mitchell

I'm hearing that Thibs doesn't play his bench like at ALL, and this is the result of not giving them any reps.

Neal X

Of course it should. Gui's minutes should get completely cut for Joku. Buddy's should mostly get cut once Podz is back. Steph, Moses, Podz - most minutes at the 1 + 2 JImmy, Dray, Joku - most minutes at the 3 + 4 Dray, Post - Situational 5 Then you have an x-factor like GPII, and situational players like Buddy and Loon. 8 reliable players, 2 very situational.

Julian

We talkin' about practice?

Point Gawd

Wow

wcd

otto porter dark magic season if we get him😂

Jordan Reitzes

The 3AM Steph birthday party definitely didn't help things. lol

Pony

On the last day of a five-day road trip the Knicks got FOUR points from their bench. Actually a tribute to their starters who nearly won the game.

Jerry Heverly

Gui's comp is JTA though I think Gui is better

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

Chicken or the egg thing. The coaches see the players in practice

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

Hield 1/7 , are we sure the conversation about "odd man out" of the rotation shouldn't include him? Yeah, yeah, threat of his shooting... I'm also worried about the threat of his shooting. Or lack thereof.

Neal X

Alc, I’ve always wished i could just watch you watch the game as you slow it down/rewind and talk about what you see. Kinda like a live reaction but longer and more detailed- Wouldn’t even need to edit it, id up my patreon amount by a lot for that tier… just a thought. Love all the content. My only critique is i want more lol.

Lucas

I agree. I saw a couple of plays where he just stopped the offense and pre-decided to ISO. Wasn't great.

John Pettus

And the punching dudes in the head.

John Pettus

Alch called it out - that was a REALLY great pass from JK to GP2 for the ooop. Sprinting in transition? Hard to do.

John Pettus

True.. it was tight be we always had the upper hand

Athletic Alchemy

They all the way trust him now!

Athletic Alchemy

I think he is picking his spots pretty well.. but he has got lucky on a couple outta control pull ups.

Athletic Alchemy

I hear you.. At the same time hard to be a energy guy like that and be calm

Athletic Alchemy

A agree Alch, I really would have liked to see QP in against KAT. Also, for the record, Dubs are 32-9 when Moses starts for his career.

Tio

😂 it’s true! I can’t imagine being in the other end

Athletic Alchemy

As the roster becomes whole we should see less buddy

Athletic Alchemy

That’s a good point.. Wigs just didn’t talk or really anticipate

Athletic Alchemy

I like those names. Isaac is super injury prone tho

Athletic Alchemy

Great to see him check the ego.. they in win mode!

Athletic Alchemy

Hopefully that what the playoffs look like. SGA might look a lil different

Athletic Alchemy

its funny. once u give someone consistent minutes, they can actually show what they can do right?

Mikey H

lol refs weren't callin anything last night for either team. Was a good & physical game

Mikey H

The funniest part of the game to me was on that foul late where they were thinking of challenges and Draymond is like, "F that, I clearly fouled him, no challenge." He's usually so emphatic about the challenge that seeing him the other way was hilarious.

David Y

Two guys the warriors should target next year is Andre Drummond and Jonathan Isaac. Both there contracts are super friendly and they would make us hands down the best defense in the league. Issac could guard any position and Drummond is one of the few guys that had the strength to go against Nicole jokic

Raymond Lyons

Seems like the warriors can go toe to toe with any team rn and only struggle with teams that have 2 bigs or one really dominant scoring big.

Raymond Lyons

This year really looks like the year moody and kuminga could take a step up.

Raymond Lyons

Lol I like "nightmare" for Dray's night night

james moore

Was at the game, people are REALLY fucking w Moody, everybody in my section was chattering about how good of a two way players he’s been for us. I agree w you Alch, I don’t think he’s coming out of this starting lineup either

Alaase Shambe

Yo alch! To your point about team defense vs. individual defense it’s felt for awhile like Wiggins was one of the rarest pieces you could get in this league which was a reliable 20pt scorer and a tenacious individual wing defender. He certainly helped win us a chip but now in his absence it feels like we’re finally able to play the team defense and on a string communicative style we want to play that he was just never gonna lean into or lead. It sucks to not have him but I think he’s just rare case of a guy who’s good but stuck in his own world

yan't get right

Wasn’t the prettiest game ever but it’s good to know they can win these scrappy games like this. Blew a sizable lead in the 4th and I thought they might blow it towards the end. But Draymond getting under KATs skin won this game. Getting those 5 fouls on KAT made him have to let Draymond get to the rim on the night night layup. Good win for Draymond. Side note: Buddy is such a terrible passer he’s almost injuring his own damn teammates with how bad his passes are!!! Fucking hell Buddy.

Jansen E

Between his night night and the big “BOOM” Draymond the number 1 menace of the NBA 💀💀

Coreyy

Draymond night night is pure mischief 🤣🤣 a different kinda brother

AK

Gui is good, but I find him too frenetic to be the new Otto. Otto exuded Cool on the Court. The closest comp may be Moses Moody.

Point Gawd

Don’t like the forced shots and drives from Kuminga. We can get better looks. I’m told on twitter that I’m crazy for saying this tho when that’s the unselfish and smart playstyle that’s led to this run

Rob00

Fair enough! The dynasty spoiled me

Zach Adler

just give credit to the team lmao. It's ok. None of us expected the team to be here in the first place pre Jimmy trade.

Andrew Lee

I think Moody hanging with Steph and Draymond during All Star weekend did him some good. He has been really good since then.

Derrick Maples

In arena mystery drip had a picture of GPII wearing a full hood. Now, we know why he’s so used to playing with the mask. 🤣

BruceWayne

I like how after the first few minutes the team took control and kept the lead for most of the rest of the game. It was a tight game, but we were never in danger of losing.

BruceWayne

Zach Adler

Gui the new Otto
