Warriors vs Spurs GM-16

Comments

idk why, but i hate losing the games because our starting line ups starts to make silly turn overs and bad defense... is like they put a song of benny hill and then the GS OG start to throw turnovers around....

Claudio Cesar Esteffan Sepulveda

Steph looks sick. He was breathing out of his mouth, and he’s kinda pale looking. I think he’s under the weather, but he’s still playing

KareFree

“so did kerr” 🤣🤣🤣

tobi to the world

I think the reason I hate this and some other cheat moves is we have a top 5 player of all time in Steph and he doesn't cheat. Ja cheats like hell, he would still be so good without it. I really thought they were going to start calling it by now as Ja is not one of the faces of the league anymore.

Russ

This guys a nut job! He’s completely unhinged and is always ranting about Kerr and calling him to be fired even when they are winning

Shantel

Alch, what you think of a Vucevic trade? Bulls are tryna shop him, he's actually balling out this year and his contract isn't relatively big. Doing the math, Moody, Melton and Santos matches the salary for Vucevic.

Omer Ali

Not only did our offense fade down the stretch but our defense as well. My biggest concern is whether this is sustainable over 82 games.

Jimmy Ji

yeah that makes sense and matches what I see during the game. Steph seems to feel less burdened not creating the shot all the time even for a simpler play.

B Master

Totally agree with you, they didn’t do him any favors with those comments!!

Allison Hendrix

all buddy does is blame Kerr for everything I seen him on twitter. No doubt there are times where we should go more PnR but what some don't seem to understand is Steph can call the offense its way more his choice then people make it out to be

Athletic Alchemy

NGL I forgot he was available. so did Kerr apparently

Athletic Alchemy

great point.. and Steph's immune system is probably so strong he is fighting it off with being fully sick

Athletic Alchemy

the organization applied the pressure.. and it was super uncharacteristic of them. Usually its so and so is very young and hopefully they can contribute . At the same time Podz was so confident thats why they felt good doing it

Athletic Alchemy

no doubt he brings an element that we dont have

Athletic Alchemy

it really aint

Athletic Alchemy

he is just not comfortable rising up in to a middy except in that short corner

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah Brogdon is cooked I wouldn't give up podz or jk alone for him

Athletic Alchemy

Im saying!

Athletic Alchemy

this girls was doing it in my daughters game Saturday, it creates a crazy advantage its not like dragging a pivot or a extra gather step on a break away

Athletic Alchemy

thats a good call he chucks m

Athletic Alchemy

I think he is sped up offensively he has to play slower and the shot will start to drop. But you look at his shooting splits in HS and College he can shoot

Athletic Alchemy

ahhhh that would make sense and Steph's immune system is so strong he is not all the way sick lol

Athletic Alchemy

thanks...it does feel like we need one more piece

Athletic Alchemy

I agree be more of a distributor most nights

Athletic Alchemy

bruh I was team Jerome the whole time! lol not that it was him or Podz

Athletic Alchemy

If kerr let him lol

k fish

Ty Jerome being BETTER than Podz the funniest, craziest curveball we never saw coming Alc

Abraham Garcia

Hot take: Curry’s game has to evolve.The winning solution is him averaging 10+ assists and on ball pg duties more than off ball scoring ability….It’s becoming harder and harder to work that offense in tight spots…this is a young’s man game

ntare rugamba

Another great breakdown, We got 2022 Wiggs but we need our Otto Porters, Bjelecias etc. I hate how everyone is also comparing this team to 2022. They’re really nothing alike. We had 2 real second options, B-Klay Thompson, Draymond,and Mike brown. Now we have one hopeful second option. A temporarily A+ Draymond that will become B-, Gary, Looney, and 7 other guys who can’t be identified within our team

Sicarii Wendell

Ha

joss gitlin

you know the vibes. 🤣🤣

tobi to the world

Remember in kindergarten when there'd be like a flu bug going around and one by one everyone in your class catches it.....

Bailey

I saw Chef warning up before game, he was energetic and done way too many dashs. I kinda thought that is good, he is energised. But maybe it spent too much energy on that, he looked tired in the 4th

Natto Santo

Pet peeve: people suggesting trades that assume that the way a player is playing RIGHT NOW is how they will play forever and always. A little while ago, people wanted to trade Wiggins for a bag of chips. Now people are tossing Podz into trash trades. Guaranteed, at some point this season, JK is going to have a stretch of games that will have folks swearing he’s untouchable for anyone short of Giannis…

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

I'll say it here as I've been saying this to my friends for more than a year. I predict Wemby breaks the most 3 pointers in a game record within the next few years. If he gets hot, we know he loves shooting them, what stops him?

Russ

Thanks for pointing out the "Ja Morant travel". It's such a cheat move. Just call it on Poole, Ja, Castle, many others, and because of Ja if they don't start calling it you will have a generation of kids who will copy it coming down the line.

Russ

Another example of Kerr sticking to the script, results be damned. It was clear from the get go that Steph and Dray were dragging - Steph was still useful but Dray was getting worked on the defensive end and was net negative on offense. Podz doesn't work against young teams unless he's willing to shoot. This is a case where "try anything" beats "try nothing." Trayce was going blow-for-blow with Wemby - make it a battle between those and wear Wemby out or get him in foul trouble. Try Moody and Santos attacking the paint. Try point Santos. Give Pat Spencer some minutes. Anything. It's a scheduled loss, at least learn something.

Mike Peterson

They gotta match salaries tho. Not only that, Podz value at an all-time low, melton is viewed as complete injury risk around the league now, and both him and JK are expiring with JK not getting the money or opportunity he going to want here.

Swole Mole

That’s way to much for brogdan at most we would have to give up Melton and 2 seconds

Steelpen19

Wemby does himself a disservice by planting himself beyond the three point line. When he actually plays inside-out rather than outside-in is when he's unstoppable.

Omer Ali

What do you think of melton+JK+Podz for brogdon?

Swole Mole

PLEASE RESIGN KERR! HIRE ALCH AS HEAD COACH!

Sqk

What’s up with Podz driving, pivoting in the paint or at the free throw line and dishing… man you don’t think that’s on the scouting report now… that’s all he does on the offensive end

Ben D

Podz offensive liability. Too many non shooters recipe for disaster

Gsw4L

You called it Alc - should’ve taken the rest day. Without JK and Melton, suddenly this team ain’t so deep

Gary

JK would have feasteded

yan't get right

To me-this is why they need Jonathan Kuminga to develop-even with his flaws-because they just are not physical enough without him. Watching Podz getting his lunch taken with absolutely no confidence is going to get old very soon. A lot of this was on the schedule and the age of the main stars. I do consider the Warriors not quite complete yet. But please no more guards.

Paul Hanson

Maybe some pick and roll would have helped, but that wasn't the issue last night. I'm fully confident we still lose that game even with more PnR. A more Steph-centric offense wouldn't help on a night where Steph just plain looked out of it -- and he looked out of it on Friday too. With JK out sick, and Podz and Loon before him, I think that the squad just isn't 100% healthy. But blaming Steve for this game is nonsensical -- the offense had open looks down the stretch, Steph in particular, and didn't execute. The real issue was from ~2 mins left in the 3rd until basically the end of the game where the backups came in and couldn't get a basket, and then when the starters came in, they didn't look much better. PnR doesn't change any of that. We had a bad game and were 100% bailed out in the first half by bad Spurs shooting.

Ryan

The young guys are all struggling (Trayce is up and down). Podz definitely need less mins till he gets confidence in his shot or he can run offense and way more Solomo (he can run the point)

Chaz G

Hot take: I could see Wemby becoming the Pippen to Castle's Jordan

Jacob

The lack of mismatch hunting needs to be discussed more as well. Gotta make it easier for your players especially when they are tired.

Sarcasm 360

I think Podz needs some Mr Miyagi, no-mind training. Wax on wax off, my man, and get out of your head!!

Allison Hendrix

I think the illness that Podz had has been traveling through the guys. First he checks himself out a couple weeks ago and misses a game or two, then Loon missed last week, now JK. Steph has been mentally and physically fatigured the last couple, Dray looked out to lunch last night. Last two games have definitely had the worst stretches of basketball we've seen all season.

Ryan

With podz, moody, and steph struggling we can’t bang our heads against the wall with the motion offense. Just turns into dudes doing cardio, AND steph getting iced out. All of his best games came against the better teams where we spammed that double pnr to mismatch hunt. 3rd game in 4 nights, in 3 diff cities so i won’t read too much into the lazy closeouts and lack of intensity.

James arnoth

Nothing new, or even egregious, it’s just his style and approach to the game, his dogma to rotations, “combinations,” but it really is just opinion. Yet my god why does he choose to die on the Podz and Moody sword? 4th quarter I did not like Heild coming out, did not like Moody and Podz staying in, I think Wiggins and Heild gotta play 36 precisely because the 12 man rotation keeps them sub 30 for *most* games. Don’t get me wrong this game was more refs than anything else but the small things just hurt man.

Sarcasm 360

his tone sucks but what do you think of his argument?

B Master

I've seen two of this guy's videos and don't like them at all.

Ryan

Not sure why Santos didn’t get minutes on a night like this on a back to back. Needed the young legs to provide a jolt of energy.

Alwin Daniel

Curious what you make of this guy's take Alch. I saw a tired Steph/Dray but he seems to think Steph is being used wrong by Kerr with too little pick and roll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhDugBCvuFE

B Master

I think we probably should have rested Curry and Dray. They both looked old man tired these last 2 games.

Viet Huy Vu

Even though I saw us having a cushion of a lead all game, I was expecting a 4th quarter collapse the whole time, mainly because as you've said we get scoring slumps especially without JK. This is going to be the 3rd time I suggest that Podz work on getting himself a stepback 3 ball. I've seen him do it, he just needs to make it a go-to move. It's simple, and it works, unlike all of the ridiculously hard floaters and push shots that will never work with someone like Wemby around the rim.

Neal X

how so?

Athletic Alchemy

oh ok.. I get caught in the micro a lot.. I do know he has never played less min

Athletic Alchemy

lol

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks for the shoutout Alch 😂

james moore

Seems like everytime JK misses a game, we get a real good reminder of why we need his offense. As for the spurs, especially some of those shots at the end, gotta just tip the cap to wemby and castle, they can ball, hit the shots the defense wants them to take. Next game I guess

Billy Roberson

Steph has been slumping around the 10-15 game mark the last couple of seasons, even in 2022. He will get a minor injury, rest, and come back strong again 😂

Nyeooooowmmmm

Before I watch, this was a Kerr special, vintage game straight from last season. I talked last game about letting him get turn checkers into chess, basically trying to “big brain” everything, and I gotta say… wtf man
