Warriors vs Wizards GM-41

$54.99 from Shoe Pavillion 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Walter Kim

Alc I don't think Dray is cooked but what is Kerr belief that the Trinity of Steph Klay Dray system. These are all unique special elite athletes who worked in unison. They chased Klay but trying to fill that void by numbers of grossly undersized guards, hoping one will stick. That's madness! I am convinced Kerr has to redesigned his style and system to maximize the talent he has. We keep talking about Steph needs a 20 point Robin. We'll he has 4 yet Kerr can't design an environment to allow but one to consisteny meet the mark.

Dale Happy Knowles

Record without Dray. 22-23-->3 wins, 6 losses . . . 23-24-->13 wins, 14 losses. This year, 4-5 (not counting the win over the Wizards when he played 3 minutes).

Point Gawd

Imagine the press if they had lost to the 6 win Wizards.

Michael Silberg

😂

Michael Silberg

Oh, I think he's desperate to play and probably played over team doctor's objections. How do you explain him coming in the game in the final minute?

Michael Silberg

I would rest EVERYBODY against the Celtics. We have no chance. Just rest and heal up for some games we can win.

John Pettus

Nah man. They got the metric system. They don't even know what a 7 footer is!

John Pettus

It will be worth that Looney contract. It's not worth a valuable-scoring-center contract, like Vooch.

John Pettus

JK's perimeter defense has been too bad for him to cover 3s. Same with Mood.

John Pettus

I think you're under-appreciating the difference in our win % when Draymond plays vs doesn't play.

John Pettus

Steph is DEFINITELY tired and beat up, man. He's carrying one of the smallest AND worst shooting teams in the NBA.

John Pettus

There's no reason to believe that. I think he wants to play, but he's been playing a LOT of games as an undersized center over his career, and he's beat up.

John Pettus

I actually don’t think it is that Steph is depressed or grumpy, I think he is sore. Tendinitis in the knees and sore thumbs and ankles. It is hard being 37 in the NBA.

Ed S

I definitely feel the irony. Its like people just look at his scoring numbers without watching the game and his effect on the outcome or his teammates. Back in 23' he even had had Steph throwing his mouthgard to the ground in frustration. Then there was the poignant bench scene of Steph yelling , "You're not fucking helping!" Oh, right, but he scored 37 points on a six win team playing for the lottery. ... Anyway, what can be begrudgingly admitted is that his best days are probably still in front of him, while the same cant be said for the state of the Golden franchise.

Michael E

Looney continuing to prove his worth, love it! Team looked good for the second game in a row. Still watching to see how everyone is doing, they are better together. Young guys better get ready to play without Steph or Dray

Irritated Inanimate

Lol

Irritated Inanimate

Trayce’s shoes do bother me. It’s not that they look cheap, they look old and busted. Have some pride in yourself as a Warrior, man! If you have trouble finding comfortable shoes, go to someone who specializes in custom kicks.

Irritated Inanimate

I need Trayce to do both! But I am glad he’s back to rebounding well.

Irritated Inanimate

I think he only played not to look like he was ducking JP, which he did anyway. Draymond is desperate to keep playing while Steph is still elite so it's not shown how much better they can be without him.

Michael Silberg

It’s been obvious for awhile. When you see Dray antics, those are literal distractions to keep people from noticing when he’s having trouble physically.

Irritated Inanimate

Is it just me or is it weird to complain that they took defense out of the league, then say Poole is a good player even though he has 0 defense?

Irritated Inanimate

I keep telling people, he’s burning too much mental energy trying to play through these injuries and still give Vintage Steph. He needs to stop playing and heal, it’s too much for anyone. Just because he can doesn’t mean he should.

Irritated Inanimate

Hopefully Kerr notices the difference and stops trying to force things.

Irritated Inanimate

He’s not afraid to get physical and it’s better than getting blown by. Also, he has more space to shoot threes. I like the 4 position for Moody for right now

Irritated Inanimate

You don’t think Steph’s injuries are enough? He needs to sit down and heal.

Irritated Inanimate

Maybe, but I was surprised he was playing. This might be his last season, his body is resisting, it doesn’t want to do this anymore

Irritated Inanimate

Accept the Draymond reduction, but also, why not move JK to his natural spot, the 3? Move Wigs to the 2 when they play together. That leaves Kyle for 4, backup 5, Gui and Moody at the 4 as well if that's how you wanna play Moody.

Point Gawd

Do the Wizards have their draft picks? If so, maybe he's the perfect tank commander. And when they get better, maybe he'll have grown into being a better leader to lead a team to winning basketball.

Point Gawd

The separation on the bench, if that becomes a norm, that would be a concern.

Point Gawd

@Alch It’s Ayesha’s burner

deb m.

Ay ay captain. I’ll PM on Patreon or @ you on Discord with updates 🫡

Jacob Ricafrente

You can also step to the ball and come down to 2

Athletic Alchemy

That’s why the pass has to be on time and on target

Athletic Alchemy

I see the problem, you have to hop as the ball is being passed to you. “Ball in the air feet in the air” if you hop once the ball is in your hands yeah that’s a travel

Athletic Alchemy

I think catch off the hop it gotta be shot. Logically, I think u can still dribble but I’m pretty sure u can’t jab.

JW

Really? One of the other benefits would be getting to rip out either way and or choosing your pivot foot late

Athletic Alchemy

If I catch on the hop then I can’t jab n go right? Shit a travel every time I think.

JW

Yup it quicker and will give you more energy in the shot. The cost being less time to get proper hand placement and find the seams

Athletic Alchemy

I’d love it! 🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

What's the key to a quick trigger? I dont have the dip that Moses has but every shot its the one two for me. When it warms up Im trying to work on the hop see if it makes a difference.

JW

True, definitely could add value as a 6th man, Jamal Crawford, Jordan Clarkson type element, its just that attitude tho...

Michael E

The ratio between court sounds and commentary was out of whack thos game. Commentary too loud, the mixer dude fucked up.

Dimitrios Cacomanolis

Wiggins will be nice, Steph can still shoot the lights out, Dennis looking fine now, if Kuminga get back in his peak form, our offensive game will be stable. The supporting case TJD, Moody Gui are improving in their role. The only thing we need is either Lindy or GP can improve on their offensive game. GP obviously is 3 pt, Lindy is the mid range.

Natto Santo

Draymond probably dipped out not to get embarrassed by JP. Steph was probably pissed.

Michael Silberg

My guess is Draymond saw JP cooking early and dipped not to get embarrassed. And that would explain what Curry looked like. Also would explain Kerr's mellowness if he knew.

Michael Silberg

Hey Alch I’m gonna be at the Boston game tomorrow and m”will be around for shoot around before tip-off. If I’m allowed to record down there would you like any clips of the team for additional VIP analysis?

Jacob Ricafrente

I don’t have a horse in the race, but it was pretty obvious Steph was struggling, especially w his thumb. I’ve also never seen Steph so detached on the bench, so I appreciate the spotlight on this rarity.

Chip Tingle

Does Steph have a lot going on at home, or is he depressed he's not contending this year? Or did he hear something about trade plans/Draymond he doesn't like? I know it's pointless to speculate really, but I do wish I could get inside his head sometimes. But goddamn, Andrew Wiggins really deserves to be an All Star the way he's playing for us.

Neal X

Hearing Slater/Marcus talk a lot about Moses at 4 for the stretch both Dray & JK are out. Shooting 4 w better speed than most. Can he bash w real bigs? Or just backed down, posted up?

Chip Tingle

Mybad i thought I put it at its typical volume?

Athletic Alchemy

Nah I thought he was a true 7fter! These French kids keep growing, I bet next training camp they are like oh yeah by the way he 7’1 now

Athletic Alchemy

If he dominates the glass and keeps getting better defensively yes. He is worth it now on that contract, but I assume you mean as a starter

Athletic Alchemy

Much easier to talk about then say CP or Harden still looking for that chip

Athletic Alchemy

The easy answer now is Draymond.. if his body is betraying him

Athletic Alchemy

I think the defensive habits are too far gone

Athletic Alchemy

I’ve heard others suggest Draymond saying that was really to protect himself. Realizing his contract the writhing on the wall

Athletic Alchemy

He’s a good microwave scorer on a good team

Athletic Alchemy

You only ever post to complain about something I say about Steph. You don’t like my content bounce!

Athletic Alchemy

When he constantly shows it with his body language, easy to call out.

John Z

Definitely like watching this team more when Draymond aint out there.

John Z

Steph played alright man. Always trying to psychoanalyse every move or facial expression from Steph is just a lame agenda and it’s tiresome. Every game there’s something negative to say about Steph. He missed shots… maybe because his thumb is injured, maybe it was an off shooting night. He still stayed aggressive and did what was needed to win on both sides of the ball.

Joshua Fayemi

One could say this was a great game for Jordan Poole. Showtime moves and big numbers. I saw way more than enough of his game over the Golden State years to know that's Foole's gold. When it mattered for a team win, he was a traffic cone on D, bad shot selection, sloppy turnovers. He aint him.

Michael E

That's weird why do they put that on SoundCloud of all places?

Nathan Glanzer

He's my girlfriends favorite and she won't even watch with me anymore after they traded him lol

Nathan Glanzer

Poole is best as a 6 man microwave scorer imo.

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

Totally agree. Draymond is still a good player, but I think he could play 25 minutes with an emphasis on closing and the team will be better.

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

Shoe pavilion adidas is hilarious lmao

Mitch Coob

I really hate saying it.. but Draymond looks like the odd man out. With Wiggs.. Kuminga.. and an aging Steph, we just dont need Draymond's defense on a nightly basis and overhunting Steph only tires him out... + you have 10000X more space with the slash bros at the 3 and 4. "We dont want to mortgage our future"... Well maybe we have to mortgage our past. Great breakdown OG

Ballin Forever

I miss poole ngl, at the very least he was fun to watch before that 2023 season, I think he could be a starting guard on a championship team in the near future, Im sure some team will trade for him. He seems to be coming into his own and today you need an offensive guard who can shoot even if they arent a defensive player, because you can always protect and hide players. I also am sure he would lock in to sum extent if he was back in the playoffs, still a mini steph to me even his mistakes are curry like. Wiggs really goated tho, dont think ive seem him hit a step back like that before.

Diego

Impressive dude: https://on.soundcloud.com/RW2LdjMLXKHgsdUu7

Chip Tingle

This is my worry now. Kerr see kuminga as a 4 We now have draymond Kyle, GUI, and moody all soaking up the 4 spot. Who's gonna lose mins?

ACowNamedStan

“…Shoe Pavilion”. Prime Alch! Thanks for spotlighting why JP can’t be a number 1 even w him cooking. D, decision making, and making others better are parts of the gig, too! But a great show, no doubt. I expected more outta Kuzma. Gotta wonder how much Steph n Dray talk retirement these days full of nagging injuries. I’m having a tough time envisioning both back together next season, sad as it is to say out loud.

Chip Tingle

Will TJD be worth it if his finishing remains bad but he gets 10-15 boards per game?

Kevin Chan

Dray was out of pocket for punching him. That’s why he texted the apology from his hospital bed. But the way JP plays - it’s only useful as a Lou Will type. Gunner off the bench. It’s incredible they were able to bottle it for ‘22. But he increasingly just was off the bench as that postseason went on

Gary

Warriors fans get a bad rep and when I see takes like that last one I get it because there’s no way anyone should be able to say that when Draymond exists

Sarcasm 360

Coulibaly is pronounced ‘Kooli-Ba-Lee’

Hg80

So if Moody plays best at the 4. And so does JK. Then we just don’t need Dray back at all this year then? GP talks a lot of shit for someone who can’t shoot (has to check he has the ball first). I’m so glad they traded Poole. He’s a cancer for team chemistry

Gary

despite the defense

Matt Andrews

i miss poole

Matt Andrews

Trayces 54.99 adidas had me rollin lol

Oak Doggy

Am i crazy or does Alex Sarr look absolutley massive? pause. He looks like a full 7 footer

Slurpy

Great vids but distracting to have the game volume on while you’re talking. I don’t need to hear Fitz a second time….

Sinna

Podz is out for so long, he started a beard.
