k fish

Lindy aint half the player jk is right now lol

Kuminga 19 min not enough, especially when lindy getting 28 and the team is struggling to score....idk why we are going thru this every year smh

I was yelling the same comment you were about Zubac--we guarded homeboy like we were afraid he was going to give us 40, when in reality we probably could have gotten by with single coverage from TJD and make him shoot over the top. I was so surprised we didn't just have TJD mirror his minutes, b/c he didn't do too bad and for every bucket Zubac got, TJD got one back on the other end... so it was at parity IMO. What an extremely strange defensive scheme to run. If we're guarding Zubac like that, I'd hate to see how we intend to guard Anthony Davis--they might send the coaching staff out there to help from the weak side.

Lenny

Yes I am aware and thanks for supporting my point. TJD is starting, and well ahead of his timetable so I bumped him.

Hey Alch I feel like the biggest problem when have with this team is our play style and unwillingness to adapt. I was at the game and I didn't understand why we were so unwilling to attack Zubat and harden on offense. Also it felt like when we had Steph Wiggins or kuminga bring the ball up and attack we had way more players get open of there gravity for a 3, back cut or lob. We just kept having Draymond or Anderson bring the ball up and it made our defense feel stagnant cause they just stood there looking for someone to pass to.

Raymond Lyons

Lol! You think so? 3 losses!!!! We way ahead of where the overwhelming majority expected us to be this year. What I have learned from Kerr coaching all these years is two things that he does not change. 1. He is in extreme experiment mode until the new year or end of Jan at the latest no matter if we winning or lossing. 2. Kerr is obsessed with making the non-eliye and Vets play their arrrrsenal off to get a minute. Experimenting, in search of match ups he could use in the play offs and playing their arrrrsenal off to build championship mentality so I am not concerned at all about athletic teams like LAC. We seembto forget last year with probably the worse team ever that he had, even with loosing 30+ games by 5 maybe 3 or less points. Most of which even a normal dysfunctional locker room would have been wins. Shall I remind how many games we we finished out of forth seed. You don't think this team will not perform light years above last year's? RELAX! Last year everything was negative energy. 1. The Punch 2. Techs seeking Refs 3. Extreme Shooting Foul disparity particularly against LAL. 4. Clamping JK & MM $$$ potential 5 Klay gaslighted for salary dump. 6. Steph burn out. None of that and more this year. I am excited and it's not even Christmas yet. 10 - 3

Podz and TJD are in the same draft class ...

Neal X

It's very similar to how the Lakers have played us the last couple years. Super long/athletic team that plays good defense, with a true big that scores in the paint. Game comes to a grinding halt and the shooters can't catch a rhythm

thomas

Alch what do you think about trading Podz, Kuminga and Gui Santos and GP2 for salary filling for Zubac and Derrick Jones Jr. in case Clippers go to a rebuild?

Carlos Pons Temprado

Crazy how the clippers just have our number

Diego

That's expected as they know GSW best

Dale Happy Knowles

Yes but consider if we feed them in their style of play, no one in the league can stop them

Dale Happy Knowles

The guard help is OK. Giving up good and great shots for perfect shots cause the excessive TOs or missed shots. Especially in the paint. Now we getting to the line but can't convert FREE throws. My coach use to say when we missed them in a game to stay on the line until shotting them until the seem free. Missed FTs was the difference in the game

Dale Happy Knowles

Let's not forget we have 4 levels of teammates. Elite - Steph and Dray Vets - Wiggs, GPII, Looney, Buddy, Slow Mo, Melton Ready to bust out with mistakes - JK, MM, LW and TJD New Bees - BP ½ the team has less than 2 years of playing time. They are doing well under the championship culture pressure. We not pass Chrismas yet. No need to panic or right platers off yet

Dale Happy Knowles

my biggest issue with our team is our guards over helping in the paint. Let Draymond and our forwards help in there. I'd rather have them attempt a 2 pointer with people contesting(even if it's a mismatch) over a butt naked 3. i believe this defensive strategy is coached up, it's been happening for years. there's a reason why teams that are typically not a good 3 point shooting team are shooting the lights out against us. Now imagine when we are against a good 3 point shooting team.

adrian salazar

Saw a report that the Nets are about to have a fire sale to prep for the Flagg sweepstakes. If that is true we should put together a package for Nic Claxton. Schroeder and Cam Thomas would also be nice pieces for a win now move. I think it would be worth considering mortgaging some of the longer term prospects as well as draft capital.

Michael E

Another problem is he starts his attack from the 3 point line. That’s on Kerr.

JW

I disagree on the JK point. JK played very smart offensively and was creating as well as scoring. His free throws drive me nuts though. Defensively he made a couple of mistakes but he was mostly good and he had quite a few deflections on rebounds that won't count in the stats. He had a really good game and should have played more. People keep criticising his mistakes but how will he get them out without consistent minutes? This is the fourth year and Kerr will always find someone to play over JK Who will never be as good as him. it was Lamb, last year Wiggins was terrible but still played over JK until he revolted. Now Lindy. I love Lindy but him playing 30mins and taking 6 shots while JK plays 19 when he's playing well and being the only other creative threat other than Steph is why we will always have a JK problem

Sensible Gooner

We at the point rn with Moody and Kuminga where the league know what they can do now so there will be tough moments and there will be good moments. They need minutes to figure out what to do to limit those bad moments. Normally, they have already gone pass it by year 2 or year 3, but we waste the last 2 years nkt competing or developing. And now we get the good and the bad moments. Same thing with Podz struggles, the league know his strength and weaknesses now, that's why he struggles.

Viet Huy Vu

With trade talks swarming after every game and with the CBA… combining kuminga and Podz in a trade doesn’t really work bc they only add up to 11.1 mil… aka nothing or at least not for a star… So what trades do people expect the warriors to make unless it’s for another young star a team wants to move off of? I doubt the dubs move off of loon or GP2 bc of history and how good they are in their roles… wont move off of slo Mo or buddy Can’t move off of wiggs unless you get back a Point of attack defender… Only person is melton to be added in there plus mood (Lindy and gui too if you need a little bit more contract $$) Getting you $31 mil if you trade all 5 of those players (melton, gui, podz, kuminga, mood) and that might be enough to get you a second star but at what cost to the roster Just something to think about If anyone has a realistic trade lmk!

Ben D

not really imo. most other teams play mismatch basketball alot of the time. the dubs only do it when it conveniently falls into their lap through the flow of the offense. its one of those strategies they can know is coming but can't really do much about

Johnny Marko

this was very reminiscent of last season. turnovers and giving up wide open 3 balls. to top it off, kerrs rotations and rigidity of his offensive gameplan. i think I'm getting PTSD

Johnny Marko

Love your analysis, the other youtubers are just trash comparing to you. Feel sorry to Podz, it seems like he is feeling dizzy and headache or sth after he got sick last week. Moody and JK still need to learn and refine their game. Lindy is ready now. Hope Lindy become more aggressive on both ends

Natto Santo

We are dead last in ft shooting. Besides SC, BH, MM and LW I don`t trust rest of the team in hitting those...

Gsw4L

Love the free throw breakdowns. Can't keep being worst in the league!! They should totally play SloMo more but he isn't a spacer, thus they went with Lindy and Moody. The fact that Dubs have compromised players means that in crunch time and playoffs, those deficiencies will bubble up

Gary

I'm fine with the turnovers and some execution issues on D. Bottom line is we make 4 more free throws and we win. Every player needs to be shooting an extra 100 free throws everyday. If I can do it in high school, they can do it as professionals.

Grizzly Thief

An exact repeat of the first game for all the same reasons. Steph and Dray were half-alive and the coaches have no interest in exploiting the Clip's obvious weaknesses. The free throws, while unfortunate, would not have been the difference with an actual gameplay. Ty plans for the game and the specific opponent. That's his biggest advantage over Kerr in the regular season. When they're playing us, every single guy - EVEN HARDEN - is waiting for the Dray-Steph pass. I'm glad you called that out. Kerr had no answers - still! And Ty Lue has been running this scheme for years now.

Mike Peterson

I just watched the highlights and I couldn't even stand it, just collapsing 3-4 in the paint for no reason against Zubac and leaving shooters butt naked. Looked awful, looked like last season, I thought these lessons had been learned.

Neal X

Warriors have played bad against teams coached by the coaches that have worked under steve kerr/ the ones that coached against us throughout the dynasty. Lakers, Cavs, Clippers, kings are who I worry about facing in a series.

Offtopic K

Such a frustrating game. for Steph and Dray not turning up till the second half, the coaching team outsmarting themselves, and our role players helping off the hottest shooters. Don't get complacent. We're not good enough to play like this.

Haris Butt

THE MOST frustrating game of the season so far to watch. Dubs had everything they needed to pull this out and it was like the Clips had kryptonite in their pockets or something. Dubs were f-ing ALLERGIC to capitalizing on their advantages. Bleh.

deb m.

Is there a strategy to not spam the same thing in the regular season especially vs a potential playoff opponent? Like of course you'd keep going at Harden. But you don't really want to give them reps to figure it out do you? So you do it a few times. See it works. Then don't do it again til the playoffs... Is that a conspiracy theory or is there merit to that?

Nathan Glanzer

Out coached, out played, they're terrible right? Lol funny how the narrative of this team changes overnight. They had a bad game against a team who was able to take advantage of it. Honestly I'm not mad at the loss. They showed the fight and execution at the end of the game that had seemed to be fading from them in the last few seasons. On to the next.

Nos Dollas

Woke up to a flat tire....which turned into having to get all 4 replaced....but man, "fetus smoosh face" brought my mood all the way back around!! :)

Allison Hendrix

Objectively, our turnovers were worse. They created more points for the Clips than theirs did for us.

BruceWayne

That's hilarious hahah

Nathan Glanzer

Great technical details, Alch, on shot form/motion, D feet and position, two nagging weaknesses of JK and Mo. Post mask vision for Podz seems like a thing. Getting down that much early makes the rest of the game an energy drain. Any word on Kawai?

Chip Tingle

We didnt deserve to win last night. I hate how when KPJ is on JK, we are still running the system. When a small/guard is guarding jk/wiggs, POSTWORKKKK. I think we can and should switch more, these double teams off the ball screen, teams are countering that. Lastly, Moses and JK both have poor feel on both ends. The potential is there but theres a difference between playing hard and playing smart. Moses, why are u attached to Mann two steps behind the 3-point line? JK, why are you not distance managing Powell? It's things like that where they dont get the playing time we all want em to get.

JW

haha he too thin tho right I got look him up

Athletic Alchemy

better feel better shooter better passer

Athletic Alchemy

got out coached last night for sure

Athletic Alchemy

nearing wise level

Athletic Alchemy

Possibly the worst in the league

Dr. Sanjin

Am I the only one who thinks Mo Bamba looks like the Goomba from the 1993 Super Mario movie?

Ryan Farber

Last thought, god damn Wiggins hands are bad

Sarcasm 360

Those bad starts are starting to cost this team…it’s too much on curry…can’t expect the bench to carry every game…..time for kerr to cut the rotations too…guys aren’t in rythm…bad coaching all around

ntare rugamba

Moses is just not gonna get in a game ready mind state with “start stop” type minutes, it’s amazing that he’s so good with the inconsistency but you gotta let either him or Lindy get their engine going and live with it. Imma say it because I almost did last time, trade Moody.

Sarcasm 360

What is Moody even doing at 10:45?? That's infuriating

Andrew Lee

At a certain point the FT thing is a game prep and practice issue because that’s too many players. Just like leaving Powell open was definitely a scheme thing past a certain point and not the players just doing that. Lindy woulda hit that shit though I hate that it was high key stolen from him

Sarcasm 360

Agree with Lindy replacing Moody. I get the fanbase loves Moody and I will always support him as a person, but he's not ready on the court yet. If Lindy can just look for his shot a bit more and stay aggressive, I'm not mad at him being in the rotation

Andrew Lee

We’re gonna start talking about the quiet eye, people are in for a treat
