Kerr the basketball terrorist strikes again

Julian

Kerr sucks

Joemilll -

Kerr comes back and TJD gets 0min what a joke especially after he balled out against the jazz

Joemilll -

Wiggs being Canadian means he probably never played football growing up, getting comfortable, even enjoying creating contact and collision. Dunno, as some soccer players play like prime Dick Butkus. How much 1on1 do you think JK and Wiggs play??? Gonna need Linebacker mode against the Jack Tatum-like Clips! 🙏Alch

Chip Tingle

This was good vibes . It all got messed up for me though . Have you seen locked on warriors ? Cy said Wiggins had an alcohol problem and even reminded everyone of Wig’s dad having cocaine issue in NBA . Wth

That's what I was thinking when I was watching the game, that Lauri seemed a bit soft. There was one possession where he had Steph on him and tried to back him down for like 2 seconds before he passed it back out. His teammate passed it back to him to tell him to go again but he did the same thing and passed it out again.

Klay probably doesn't have more than a few options off the dribble, having a dude that he can just dump off to actually finish just makes the decision easier for him and might give him that serotonin hit.

John Z

When Dray hits a half court shot that's the same as the fat lady singing.

Neal X

he's said this before, but I think a lot of Alc's comments had to do with mentality. Mike Brown used to be up and coaching the defense a lot, and Kenny doesn't seem to be as defensively engaged. I think Alc's main point though was that Kenny doesn't seem to plug up the gaps in Kerr's coaching style nearly as well as Mike did, they seem to be very similar in how they think about the game.

ethospathostacos

Fair points. He was good earlier in the season but proving that TJD should get those minutes!

So at one point I remember you commented Alch that you wanted Kenny Atkinson gone (in a lot less friendly way lol) so can you explain why? I had no opinion on him either way since I have no information.

Neal X

I think they wanted Dario to be what Beli was on the championship team, they're both big, slow Euro guys who can shoot 3's. But honestly, Beli was a lot more adept at using his size on defense than Dario, even though he was bulkier. I swear it was like Dario was born without any fast-twitch muscles man.

Neal X

nothing happened, everyone is now back and healthy, that's all

Jeffry

I wonder if Klay feeds off of Trayce being named Trayce

Splashus Klay

Markanen looking real "Finnish". Lol AA you crack me up

Splashus Klay

I’m not trading Kuminga for Lauri straight up either. Lauri seems more like a good #2 at best, def not a franchise player. And it’s easy to forget this is like his 7th year in the league, Kuminga can def be better than him at that stage of his career. Tbh Lauri looked kinda soft yesterday getting stood up by our guards, playing like a tall finesse wing.

Luke Zhang

Maybe not rest everyone but def lean youth if you can tell early on vets don’t have legs

Luke Zhang

Be pissing me off gettin cooked by a quick fat dude in pickup 😂😭

Luke Zhang

👀

Luke Zhang

Wild how different our defense looks with Gary back, he's such a shot of NOS of the bench!

Nolan Williams

What happened to Santos? Love that kid.

Bres

the THT commentary had me crying Unc. So factual

Ruben Valce

Hell no, they got momentum going and they need every win they can get at this point, plenty of time to rest allstar break.

Gerrard Israel Laraga

Dude, we need to rest Klay and give Moody some minutes. Moody is wasting away on the bench

Kevin Weng

Man these refs are savages. Fitz and Kellenas commentary on the bogus wiggs 3pt were hilarious. I felt like we got like 2 calls on drives out of the 20 no calls

Ron Rierson

Does anybody notice this about Dray? He tends to get attached to a saying on his pod after hearing someone else say it on their pod (for a while he really liked saying neither here nor there when Stephen A was saying it a lot) and his last pod he kept saying the phrase “the proof is in the pudding”. Possible he been listening to uncle alchemy?

Konrad Chan

There's a reason that even during the bad times, we still stick with this team and have faith in the people, even though we might criticize and complain. At the end of the day, this organization is full of an underlying unity that hasn't broken. The Heart of a Champion isn't an empty phrase. Let's roll.

Neal X

Klay’s always had an affinity for the warriors big men ie: Bogut, Javale, Varejao (apparently he cried when we traded Varejao cuz they were bff’s). Maybe it’s the subconscious connection with his Dad who was a Center but regardless it’d be good for Klay at this point in his career to take Trayce under his wing and mature as a mentor for the next generation

Jacob Ricafrente

Maybe having Trace out there with Klay could be something for Klays mental. Since he clearly likes the guy, might put him in a more big brother mode while they're out there, and make him more of a team player cause he wants to get his rook going.

Vulacior

5 in a row. Let's keep it going! I will say, for Utah, when you brought up Lauri needing a PG, I realized they haven't been the same since they traded away Mike Conley at the deadline and they haven't really done anything to replace him. Aside from maybe Kris Dunn, none of their guards are true PGs and don't set up their offense well. Meanwhile, Minnesota turned things around as soon as they swapped out DLo for Conley at the same deadline. Conley may not put up big numbers, but his teams always seem to win wherever he goes. Clearly the Jazz are still missing that.

Nick Elliston

Consider the completely insane Mad Hatter logic of what the refs said, even at face value. If you enter someone's landing space from further away, it means you were coming at them faster, to cover more ground, and thus it's *harder* for you to stop your forward momentum or adjust your angle of approach. If you're closer to them, it's literally *easier* to not step into their landing space or adjust your contest angle. So by the refs own logic, they are saying "even though it was objectively *easier* for you not step into their landing space --- and you did it anyway --- we are not going to charge you with that foul, because...???" There isn't a sentence that makes sense after that unless you're dancing on a table drinking out of upside down teapots wearing nonsense fractions on your hat.

Major Powers

JK misses his first free throw EVERY game. Somebody should set up a drill in warmups where they simulate a first foul shot. They really look like the Warriors of old, where many games seem Rucker-like, the ball flying around, everyone laughing and having fun, seemingly effortless. If they hadn’t missed a bucketful of layups this would have been over in the 3rd quarter.

Jerry Heverly

Fitz and Kelenne were so pissed off. "Oh so if I shoot a guy with a gun it's ok if I'm close just not far away?"

Major Powers

"there's nothing worse than guarding a fat, quick dude" lmaoo that really is pure gospel

yan't get right

Wiggins for Markkenan would be a better trade than JK. JK would be a more complementary player. Assuming Utah would go for it 🤷‍♂️

Lee Schumacher

The best part is you see during other teams games where similar stuff happens, and what do you know it never comes up again!

Francis Arachea

Really worried that CP3 is going to kill the transition offense. Not to mention the defense.

BruceWayne

If they win Wednesday should they just rest the vets and play the young guys? Might even have a three birds in on stone chance of stealing one, resting the old guys, and developing the young dubs.

Anthony Tsai

want to learn a new rule? tune into a DUBS game! lol

Athletic Alchemy

"looking like his fellow canadian just a lot of soft length" was WILDDD😭

Dami I

Were so back, and yea as you said, I feel for moody I can tell he's getting a "scarcity mindset" because he's never touching the floor when he really deserves to

MaxShade18

That game was exactly what I needed after Sunday...it was so fun! Draymond hitting before the half, splash bros, TJD minutes, GP2 running around. YES. Alch, What's your game grade for Atkinson?

Allison Hendrix

Steph finishes with 10 assists 1 turnover and was +30 on the night. I thought steph was fine. He was actually careful with the ball in this game. Wiggins had a nice game, he was a game high +31. Kuminga had a rough game.

Christian Hollaway

Yo Alch, I noticed Chimeze Metu is now a free agent. He might fill that need for a bigger athletic defender in some matchups. Seems like he has that goon in him, but can’t stay on a roster lately.

Brandon A

Great game summary. Thank you. It's easy for the coaching staff to insert TJD late first/early second with the following combined Looney and Dario stats: 3pts, 12 rbs in 37mins across 2 games. Dario has been looking very one dimensional for a while now.

decomplexify5000

he will have to learn the cat and mouse game from Dray

Athletic Alchemy

TJD always sells out to block the person going to the rim, not a bad thing, but I've seen other teams take advantage of that and pass to the person he was supposed to be covering for an easy layup or dunk. Jazz didn't take advantage of that last night and it worked out for us, but other well coached teams are going to do that. I'm not completely mad at Kerr for sitting him most of the time.

Nyeooooowmmmm

Sexton is definitely bat shit crazy!🤣🤣

Patsy Ralls

That Drake/Wiggins comp is C R A Z Y 🤣🤣🤣

Dashaya Toney

The "short distance" crap reminds me of the "high five" foul and the "hot stove" foul from a couple years ago. I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but why the referees gotta just make shit up? Just say it's because it's the Dubs, end of story. I'd actually feel better about it in a way.

Francis Arachea

That Draymond heave was so flat. 🤣
