Aben
2024-04-27 20:55:34 +0000 UTCExcellent breakdown
Andre Brooks
2024-04-26 21:39:21 +0000 UTCI hope you do a breakdown when we win game 3, stay sleep!
Shawn Palmer
2024-04-25 15:16:04 +0000 UTCThis game feels too much like the game in which Jokic hit the half court buzzer beater on us
Qiushi Hu
2024-04-24 14:00:29 +0000 UTCYeah living the life of a superstar is an underrated part of these talks

2024-04-24 11:29:40 +0000 UTCThat feedback from Malone to Watson was so good. It makes me wonder how Kerr approaches the younger players. Every coach has their strengths and weaknesses.
Captain Rossco
2024-04-24 11:20:57 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to AD, is it a competitive stamina issue? Or is it simply him fatiguing from having to score and basically anchor that entire Lakers defense by himself, leaving him with very little juice for the 2nd half of games.

2024-04-24 06:27:48 +0000 UTClike the play off break downs. lots of more opportunity to drop your hilarious heat. keep em coming alch
Joe Demmer
2024-04-24 02:42:58 +0000 UTCSo happy you do this game Alch
Natto Santo
2024-04-24 01:41:14 +0000 UTClmfao, that laugh at the end 🤣🤣
AK
2024-04-24 00:27:20 +0000 UTCyeah if you get AD rolling down hill it forces him into taking more shots
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:42:39 +0000 UTCAD and Bron blew their wad.. its Ova!
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:41:54 +0000 UTCAt full strength they are tough, but its tough to stay at full strength each year with long playoff runs as we know. Watson hangs his hat on Defense you can tell he likes it and priorities it... I don't see JK every having that mindset, we'd already seen it.
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:41:14 +0000 UTCIm not covering specific series Im going to try to cover the best games.. that said trying to watch everything is tough I may have to narrow it down to the West
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:38:44 +0000 UTCThing that may keep him out of GOAT big man talk is if he just dips back to Serbia early.. but agreed
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:37:47 +0000 UTCnice glad like them..
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:35:24 +0000 UTCgood adjustment.. but really what else was he gonna do
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:35:01 +0000 UTCappreciate it! Im trying to watch everything so have proper context but I might have to hone in on the West its too much in RD1
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:33:46 +0000 UTClol hell yeah
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-23 23:32:59 +0000 UTCFeels like the best and most sustainable offense for the lakers has to come from dlo and Ad in pnrs….Lebron being more of a two way closer and scoring in spurts like a true vet….egos are too big to make that happen…oh well…a lot of grifters and complainers on that lakers team,happy they’re getting bounced early
Rug Ntar
2024-04-23 23:22:33 +0000 UTCMan this game was crazy. What I think really ultimately lost them this game was AD slowing down. At the 10 minute mark of the 3rd, he had 32 points on 14/15 shooting. Only took 4 more shots the rest of the way and didn't score at all. That just can't happen when he had as dominant of a 1st half as he did. Credit to Malone for switching Jokic off of him though. Jamal is so fun to watch, well really this whole Denver team is. I agree with the point about him being able to have more legs down the stretch with Jokic next to him. They just have such an unstoppable two man game. Looking forward to more!

2024-04-23 23:11:03 +0000 UTCI'd take Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and Blake Wesley back along with a couple of first rounders and pic swaps attached.

Ben D
2024-04-23 22:49:46 +0000 UTCLooking at this team i don't think there's any moves the warriors can make to beat them lauri ? paul george? may not be enough we're gonna have to empty the clip and that means trading the youngsters. qst: can jk reach the defensive level of payton watson ? if yes then he's gonna be the best second option in the league in 2 years.

2024-04-23 22:40:36 +0000 UTCyeah, lebron is out of his mind special. can never count him out. But sweeps are tough. U have to really want the sweep . To me it comes down to the mindset after they go 3-0, do they take their feet off the gas a bit? Do the lakers want to lay down?..that kind of thing. we'll find out soon tho
Mikey H
2024-04-23 22:39:13 +0000 UTCIf you were to rank all time great big’s best 5 year stretch. Might sound crazy but a title this year I may only be able to put Shaq over Jokic. Dang nuggets are good
Offtopic K
2024-04-23 22:36:25 +0000 UTCMain character syndrome describes Dinwiddie perfectly. Somethings always annoyed me about the shots he takes, and how he just carries himself on the court.
Vulacior
2024-04-23 22:34:58 +0000 UTCMan I'm really loving these non-warrior breakdowns, it's a good change of pace. Maybe because I have less emotional attachment to them haha
Andrew Lee
2024-04-23 22:34:40 +0000 UTCCoach Malone deserves every credit for putting KCP on Lebrron, AG on AD and freeing up Jokic defensively in the 2nd half. God tier adjustment. Meanwhile…our coaches 😴😴😴
Sean An
2024-04-23 22:34:06 +0000 UTCthat was a damn good game. breakdown was even better. big ups Alch
Mikey H
2024-04-23 22:31:35 +0000 UTCTrade Steph to San Antonio for what lol? 15 first rounders?
Vulacior
2024-04-23 22:31:11 +0000 UTCAs much as I can’t stand the Lakers I thought the McNuggets got the ‘Lakers’ whistle pretty much the whole second half, Lebron and AD to shoot 27 FT’s in game 3? 🤣🤮
Damon
2024-04-23 22:29:02 +0000 UTCLegler pointed out the Nuggets had an offensive rating of 200 in the last 5 minutes of that game... That's an avg of 2 points per possession. The truly elite teams have an unstoppable two-man game. This got me thinking about who Steph should play with next that will give him a shot at another title. How about we trade him to San Antonio and pair him with Wemby? It makes sense because Wemby can cover for Steph's defensive liabilities at this stage of his career and the Spurs can technically withstand his $100M+ cap hit for the next two years because Wemby's on a rookie contract.

2024-04-23 22:09:53 +0000 UTCNowitzki, Duncan, Curry and now Jokic the guy can't catch a break :D
Alex Kay
2024-04-23 21:58:06 +0000 UTCis it just me or do we match up better vs. Denver than the Lakers do?
Abhi Kelkar
2024-04-23 21:57:30 +0000 UTClakers the last two seasons have had the highest free throw differential in the league by more than double the team in second place. the refs are the reason they are in the playoffs in the first place. so them complaining about the refs is very rich
Dami I
2024-04-23 21:55:41 +0000 UTCgreat game. i feel like jamal murray is hated by lakers fans so there was extra sting with the buzzer beater. thanks alch
Chris Williams
2024-04-23 21:51:10 +0000 UTCDinwiddie is the perfect example of a regular season player. It was a talked about acquisition -- he just looks lost out there. Its crazy that Vincent isn't taking his minutes when he's played big starter(?) playoff minutes just last year.
Jerel Cutia
2024-04-23 21:40:37 +0000 UTCLove the breakdown, Alc. I'm honestly surprised there were no MPJ jokes from you lmao. And maaaan, I feel like I been waiting 10 years to see Bron play a true oldhead, high-impact, low-ego game. Like a MEGA version of a Iguodala and Draymond hybrid. And it was beautiful to see, he has the perfect physique for it. But... much like I wanna see Steph play the old man Tim Duncan decoy role... it came too little too late. Denver is just too good. Also great to see that the Denver Walkdown™ is a thing that can happen to anybody, so I don't feel as crazy that it happened to us.
yan't get right
2024-04-23 21:39:38 +0000 UTCAlch, I was fortunate enough to have been at this game live and a few things popped out at me. 1) The intensity of the playoffs vs regular season is felt so much more live compared to on the TV 2) Lebron is crazy man, even at 39 this man is ballin.. hard to hate 3) The altitude and pace absolutely got to the Lakers at the end there. I think AD had 0 in the 4th..... could we see a sweep again? I assume LA gets 1 at home but its been 10 straight now so Im not confident in that statement tbh
Matt Hanna
2024-04-23 21:35:38 +0000 UTCI don’t understand why they never run the fake corner hand off with kuminga. With his athleticism and that perfect angle it would be unstoppable if they disguise it with other actions in the corner
Connor H
2024-04-23 21:32:08 +0000 UTCAlch what do you think about Denver switching AG onto AD and KCP onto Bron when Jokic was getting cooked by AD? Do you think they go with those matchups rest of the way or stick to their original plan and only adjust when they have to? I feel like KCP can hold up on Bron better than Jokic can on AD, but I'd feel better forcing AD to have to be aggressive knowing his competitive stamina issue rather than giving Bron an easier matchup and risking him taking over. After this hellish season though it does feel great seeing the Nuggets torture the Lakers 😂 this reminds of the 18-point lead we blew to Denver with the Jokic half court buzzer beater. But no championship team since our dynasty has the inevitability and championship DNA feel like this Nuggets team. The first 2 games of this series reminds me of our series vs Portland in the WCF in 2019 where they'd jump out to big leads and inevitably we just walk them down every time.

2024-04-23 21:14:50 +0000 UTCLebron lose - I ain't mad at all :) But that Joker man, need to find how to play him..
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
2024-04-23 21:12:23 +0000 UTCI can't see the Lakers playing any better and I can't see the Nuggets playing this bad in this series. Might just be another sweep.
E Perez
2024-04-23 21:09:48 +0000 UTCwe needed that one unc Alc! thanks!
Maksim Petrushin
2024-04-23 21:04:27 +0000 UTCWow what a game! And yes-the Warriors are more than one move away
