2024-03-07 19:37:21 +0000 UTCWow, that was brave, Alch.

2024-03-07 04:25:44 +0000 UTCYou gotta also think about the money he is willing or not to pay

2024-03-06 19:54:17 +0000 UTCAwful Coaching has come up with a pretty great click grift. A large part of every fan base wants to hear someone scream that their coach is the biggest dope to ever hold a clipboard. Might as well cater to that side of fandom. The bit gets old when you realize he has a video like that for every coach in the league though.

2024-03-06 19:36:50 +0000 UTCI think that behavior is also how Dray copes. Tries to make a big show of how unbothered he is.
Neal X
2024-03-05 16:53:01 +0000 UTCI saw that one too, but again this was a throwaway game so not sure how seriously it needs to be analyzed, lol.
Neal X
2024-03-05 16:40:59 +0000 UTCYea another reason I don't trust kerr....he will never let that kid be the star he can be to help steph in his final years. Whether it's minutes or how he is used. The pull him after like 5 min....let him play 3 min to finish the 1st, then bench him until like the 6 min mark in the 2nd screams I don't want you in rythym lol

2024-03-05 06:07:54 +0000 UTCYea I've never seen a coach rewarded for such a poor last few years, why not atleast see how the season plays out.

2024-03-05 06:01:47 +0000 UTCThis L reminds me of the L the Dubs took against the Grizzlies in Game 5 during the championship run

2024-03-05 05:07:51 +0000 UTCHey Alch, forgot to thank you for the shout out on an early episode of your pod. And you know I ain't changing lol. Keep doing your thing brother.

2024-03-05 04:51:25 +0000 UTCI think the whole punting thing is covering up the larger issue, which is that Draymond and Steph are slowing down. It may not be as obvious with them as with Klay and Loon but it's clear they don't have the energy after a couple of games. They both probably need to average fewer minutes or we will have more "fatigue losses" like this.
Neal X
2024-03-05 03:19:53 +0000 UTCIf we had someone like Lauri instead of Dario we'd be there, but we have too many roster spots taken up by "too old", "too small", "too slow" or "all of the above". I expect Lacob is well aware of this and is just counting the days until he can make the moves.
Neal X
2024-03-05 03:14:49 +0000 UTCIf fines there were an issue, they should've taken them. Feel like this happens too often, where we don't recognize a trap game. Steph had bursitis, that was enough to rule him out. Take the fines in protest rather than risk your guy's health, as you've said, injuries are way more likely when you're not focused and flaking.
John Z
2024-03-04 22:56:37 +0000 UTCI have a hot take about dray…feels like the celts are in his head big time since the finals…minny,suns and now the celts have his number…wonder what the trashtalk was like…it’s time for kerr to give his youngsters more minutes….kuminga,podz and moody should play well over 30 mins in the favourable matchups…rest the vets for the final run
Rug Ntar
2024-03-04 22:43:25 +0000 UTCyup, and look how it turned out
Naji Zouhari
2024-03-04 22:16:56 +0000 UTCugh! whatsup with Kerr? two more years! ugh!
Sqk
2024-03-04 21:32:32 +0000 UTCGood point on Poole, his shooting hasn't been replaced.
Allison Hendrix
2024-03-04 20:53:48 +0000 UTCyeah... live its so frustrating too watch its hard to see how blatantly they punted, but in hindsight it looks obvious
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 20:41:33 +0000 UTCbut no, I dont think this was a reflection on the young guys at all yesterday
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 20:39:52 +0000 UTCyou pretentious as hell Nos dont ever change lol
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 20:38:06 +0000 UTCAm I crazy to think that the warriors gave that game away on purpose. To give the Celtics a false sense of superiority and confidence. The defensive strategy didn’t make any sense, and the fact that Dray says they came up with it 15 mins before the left the locker room is very suspicious. Steve also said, we were not beating Boston today. It feels like that they came in ready to lose that game.
Dee Silencieux
2024-03-04 20:37:36 +0000 UTCyeah eventually he is going to have to be able to at times lean on shooting. it may take a few summers to get there, but I think he wants it. Its not like Aaron Gordon or some of these other tweener Wings where it feels too unnatural. JK was never used as a big like a lot of those guys and thats what sets there archetype early
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 20:34:26 +0000 UTCWell we don't have a single person on the team who can be counted on to score 30+ in any game except Steph. While a bunch of guys in the teens or 20s is great, another 30+ scorer is the hallmark of a contender. Hell, back in the day, Kyrie and Bron could both go for 40+ ... and often DID. In 2022 we had Poole who could do it, and honestly he deserves our lasting appreciation for that, even though he's wasted his potential since then.
Neal X
2024-03-04 20:22:06 +0000 UTCI don’t normally get to watch any games live, as I’m in Ireland. I wanted to see if they could replicate the last huge win vs the Celts. Short breakdown was nice Alc but what stood out to me was that Kuminga couldn’t do anything to change the momentum. His iso game didn’t work against other strong wings (JT, JB, etc) and he couldn’t get others going. He’s still a few years away from being a difference maker. Now he’s a complimentary piece
Gary
2024-03-04 20:21:40 +0000 UTCI heard a sports dude say awhile back that while we have some good young guys, "Warriors young guys aren't as good as everyone else's young guys" and that's always been in the back of my head...did this game prove anything for the young guns one way or another?
Allison Hendrix
2024-03-04 20:08:18 +0000 UTCMemphis game 5, in the championship year, '22 was a similar loss, no?
Erin Laskey
2024-03-04 19:56:17 +0000 UTCCollective flogging after losses has never been my speed. You got your ass kicked but you wake up to another day. We'll see what they have for the Bucks Wednesday ✌🏿
Nos Dollas
2024-03-04 19:32:25 +0000 UTCLol I get that this game was being treated as a "throwaway game" for them, but if that were the case, why even have Curry play? Just say his knee is sore or whatever, and scratch him completely. I was at my cousins baby shower all day so I wasnt going to watch this game anyway, but lol. Losing by 60 isnt even worth showing up. The only thing Im annoyed about is that they cant afford to lose games right now if theyre trying to avoid the play in. But whatever. Wont waste effort thinking about this game that much.

2024-03-04 19:32:03 +0000 UTCDray and Nurk were both right about each other, but can't take accountability for their own shortcomings
Luke Zhang
2024-03-04 19:30:26 +0000 UTCi'm grateful they won the ones they should have (raptors, knicks, wiz). 3-1 is great; and 3-1 with less effort is even better. with the bucks, bulls, spurs, and spurs coming up, will be interesting how they manage the next 4 games in 6 days.
creuset
2024-03-04 19:22:31 +0000 UTCThis game should have been punted on, no starters, let them rest. Better than letting them get shit on for no reason. Ah well, maybe there were rules involved like you said, but it still feels bad to let them get disrespected. But this only reinforces that we're not a contender (and may never be again with this group). If they don't have the juice for multiple road games, hard to see how they can handle a 7 game series.
Neal X
2024-03-04 18:49:12 +0000 UTCThis was clearly a scheduled loss for us. Daring Jbrown to shoot 3s was our way of saying "Bro we not about to slide our feet and sit in the chair all game and defend waves of athletic dribble penetration" It was a scheduled loss vs the #1 team who had us circled. The vets got some good rest yesterday lmao
Ballin Forever
2024-03-04 18:46:50 +0000 UTCWorst time to change around the rotation but even then, TJD got some post moves on him don’t he? We can put that Saric stuff away soon

2024-03-04 18:40:23 +0000 UTCSo glad I didn’t watch this bs. I had a feeling 😂

Pony
2024-03-04 18:38:13 +0000 UTCI'm not going make too much of this game. I think this was a collective F*** YOU to the league for screwing them over with the schedule. We have 15 back-to-backs (most in the league) after considering the postponements. I know we have a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way but it's essentially negated by the number of games we have remaining the rest of the way. The better alternative was probably to sit Draymond and Klay from the opening tip and rule out Steph for knee soreness after his first stint if Lacob wanted to avoid fines.

2024-03-04 18:03:11 +0000 UTCSeeing a pattern of only taking responsibility when he is forced too
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 18:02:38 +0000 UTC"fatigue makes cowards of us all" is the realest. could be said about these last 2 years. Tbh, I often love the experience of watching the older Dubs because they always lead with their emotions. Lmao this loss was crazy but there was no way to hide their apathy for chasing the ghost of a finals from 2 years ago. On the other hand, I despise the experience sometimes because it means this team is on such a different rhythm than 29 other teams who care about day-to-day regular season bragging rights.
yan't get right
2024-03-04 18:01:02 +0000 UTCDraymond geeking out in the postgame interview was pissing me off 🤦🏻♂️😂 I get it yall were fatigued but have some shame
Luke Zhang
2024-03-04 17:55:13 +0000 UTCNo..let me take a look!
Athletic Alchemy
2024-03-04 17:49:54 +0000 UTCI think you're on to something with them being up against fines if they would have rested the stars. Maybe this was a Steph Dray protest against Adam Silver's policy. Boston fans were happy enough.
Daniel Fries
2024-03-04 17:49:44 +0000 UTCThanks for getting this one out.
Thomas Ogas
2024-03-04 17:40:47 +0000 UTCI appreciate the 1st quarter breakdown. I tuned in at the end of the 2nd quarter flabbergasted. Given their schedule, flights, and the officials holding their whistles back, it makes sense. Also gave me shades of the big bro letting the little bro win a game and it feeling like a hollow victory.
theycallmemiyagi
2024-03-04 17:38:17 +0000 UTCYeah I watching it and it seem like they just wanted to rest. My first thought was ain’t no way dray leaving that man open we know to let him make tough shots rather than take open ones. But like you said fatigue makes cowards outta anyone. This game was a off day for vets to rest I know they were happy they didn’t have to waste energy I bet dray was praying Jaylen would make every wide open shot.
Jeffery Rosario
2024-03-04 17:34:20 +0000 UTChow can giving the best 3pt shooting team in the league AT HOME wide open practice shots be justified? Arrogant and pathetic decision from the team
Dami I
2024-03-04 17:33:34 +0000 UTCHey Alchemy, do you follow Awful Coaching (YouTube)? Check out his assessment of this game titled, “STEVE KERR coaching nightmare vs. CELTICS.” It’s crazy to me how bad our transitional defense is.
Aaron Bantegui
2024-03-04 17:33:04 +0000 UTCJk and klay left the game it was tied I believe 😂3 minutes later Boston is up 17
mr.bean
2024-03-04 17:30:06 +0000 UTCTo come into a game, believing you can’t win is crazy. What kind of shit was Draymond thinking btw?
Swole Mole
2024-03-04 17:28:34 +0000 UTCRegardless of the loss, still loving the commentary, consistency and chutzpah. Don't let this team's fatigue rub off on you Al! I see this loss as another coaching flub. Kerr is too soft with the vets and might be too lenient with Draymond.
