Warriors vs Bulls |Gm3|

I thought Harden looked a little chubby? But still plays elite.

Damon

i think is just one of those little habits we use to find our shooting position. When i play i always stomp my right foot really hard before pulling up, which is not a good habit lol but it gives me balance and rhythm

Kevin Chan

hey yall can someone educate me on the little dragstep wiggins does in his pullup at 5:44? Watching made me realize I did that a lot myself, but never put any thought into it. is there any benefit to it? or is it just a quirk we happen to share..

Sean Kneeland

That's exactly what I've been saying! Its not like Nico would be shooting any worse than Oubre, so there wouldnt be any harm in letting him off the leash a little bit. I know the dude can pass and can be a pretty scrappy defender. I wanna see more of the redhead! And yeah Steph isn't finishing well at the rim either, but at the very least he is making layups every now and then. Idk whats up with the whole team and being terrible from close and from far. Sigh. Oh well!

Jansen E

Thoughts relating to Steph 1. It’s been forever since he’s played without klay. Given that before last season a missed game from klay was very rare. Still has to get used to losing the best spacer in the NBA. 2. Could Steph’s unsuccessful interior game be a result of absolute fear of injury. With the curry brand and a klay- less dubs, the man has millions upon millions of dollars on his shoulders. Maybe this pressure is making it hard to finish because he’s so scared of coming down wrong. Just thoughts

Sevrin Weiss

but great video regardless alch can't wait for your take on the detroit game!

Kevin Chan

Steve should've adapted back in 2016, another chance in 2019, third chance this year. At some point we have to admit the guy is an ego maniac and is too stubborn to call simple plays that are guaranteed to work. In his mind, his genius over-complicated system > the players. Lets face it as well Steve was a major reason KD left, for any superstar who isn't Curry (who is exceptionally selfless and obedient), the warriors' system is a pain to play in for long term. When a guy knows he can just go out there, run a PnR and get a dunk, but is forced to do a bunch of unnecessary off-ball running just to take a last second contested shot, is frustrating.

Kevin Chan

I saw he is playing well... He has had streaks before, yet PHX and Mem let him walk for nothing

Athletic Alchemy

he is definitely using length more than bounce. When you go up to dunk the gathering has to be more deliberate and if he cant fully palm the ball that gather becomes even more deliberate.

Athletic Alchemy

Steph missing a ton at the rim too tho! Id like to see Nico get a shot the gap between he and Brad isnt going to be what the staff thinks

Athletic Alchemy

Let me remind you tho..the entire league looks terrible...Every coach has their weakness lets see if Steve will adapt

Athletic Alchemy

Step Curry lmao

Ken Bradford

Chriss, Wiggins, and Josh. That's the new redemption team

Qiushi Hu

Not related to golden state, but ironically Harden looks fantastic and in shape despite pissing me off greatly with his shenanigans and liking thots too much, while Luka looks super off. Christian Wood looks great too... on offense.

Pirate Ramsay

How long before kelly traded for Josh jackson who I been wanted on the warriors 😄

Chris Goodman

Well, Joseph that's an optimistic way of looking at it. Pessimistically, tho there's everything else that Alch mentioned and Wiggins inconsistent touch at the rim (but he needs to keep attacking). In my case, If the rockets lose to the kings 3 days later and go 3-0 I'd be extremely concerned not that I already am.

Pirate Ramsay

Every time Kelly goes to dunk contested, ball ends up out of his hands. Is it lack of grip, lack of strength or an attempt to flop? Also it looks that he is not jumping high enough on dunks and tends to dunk with one hand, because his hands are that long, but the ball is exposed more.

Ivan

jesus christ we are bad. Bulls played some of the worst basketball I've seen and we were down most of the game anyway. Team has to gel quick, otherwise more blowout coming. I also lowkey hope we lose a lot of games this year just so that steve kerr can get fired, we can replace him with a coach who knows how to run PnR

Kevin Chan

Getting the win here really allowed me weekend to not be totally crap. My Christmas was uneventful and had the Warriors lost, it really just wouldve made my weekend really sour to end. Couple things: 1) Oubre continues to make me look dumb. I was hoping he was a better defender than this. His IQ definitely worries me. But I continue to hold out for him because of his effort and fearlessness. I was pissed he missed that wide open 3 for the lead, but the zero hesitation after being 0-for-everything this season shows me he;s not in his own head about it which is good. 2) I told you Tuscano isnt bad man! hahah I remember seeing this dude in summerleague last season and he was a good defender who could hit a shot every now and then. He was damn near our best on ball defender last night and every time he matched up with Lavine, he held his own. I'd still have zero hesitation in trading him for someone better, but the dude deserves to be on the roster right now. 3) About time Curry played that way. 4) I liked Wiggins effort in the game once again. 5) Why does nearly everyone but Steph have such a hard time finishing layups? How many layups did we miss in this game? 6) Definitely the worst game from Wiseman so far, but considering how well he played in the 2 games prior, I wont even give it another word there. Hopefully he learns with Draymond to be better defensively cuz yeah he fell asleep way too many times on easily challenge-able shots for someone his size. 7) FInally, what the hell was up with Kerr's lineups and play calling last night? After Wanamaker (despite his steal ability) was clearly killing us in the 4th quarter, he left him in. We saw ONE PnR with Curry/Wiseman when that led to an easy bucket. And then taking Wiseman out forever and putting him in, only for him to airball a shot, and then take him out again. Like wtf is Kerr doing?

Jansen E

Thanks man! I put a lot of effort into these 🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Yesir! 🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

That’s a good call.. I’m not sure Brad is the better player despite the experience

Athletic Alchemy

We don’t know what’s what yet.. outside of the obvious contenders

Athletic Alchemy

4.8 sec? 😀 but you right on the road it was a nice count.

Athletic Alchemy

When it clicks and they get hot it’s going to be a highlight reel

Athletic Alchemy

He is baller straight up

Athletic Alchemy

In a controlled environment you can get into the flow state pretty much every time if you work at it like they do.. 105 is nuts but is it for Steph!?

Athletic Alchemy

If that’s how much hair he got... them shits was tight! Bro probably went to sleep with headache

Athletic Alchemy

well, on a positive note, the warriors won despite them not shooting up to their standards. there were a lot of open shots that they missed. They also still have chemistry issues. i think if they fix those up, they can sure be a high seed. draymond is coming back soon as well. His on-court leadership, defense, and chemistry with steph will definitely be of big help

Joseph Divina

Man, this is just gold, Alchemy. Seriously, the way you just built up the analysis throughout the whole game, pulling out all the little essential pieces, like Poole and Oubre and Wiggins and Steph’s free throws, all the basketball details and then the larger picture: the fan-joy and the terrible need for a win in terms of morale and confidence for the squad. It pains me that Mark Jackson makes millions to say, “Mama, there goes that man!” while you do the real work.

Patrick Kennedy

Uncle alchemy I love your work bro. We gonna be fine and we got dray coming back him and Steph are deadly in the pick n roll, remember Houston game 6 they couldn’t stop it

haris

The chief strength of this team seems to be quick hands and steals. That showed up even in the exhibition games. I'd like to see what Mannion could add. I rely upon Alchemy to critique the games since our homer announcers are incapable.

Jerry Heverly

Its a W, but I would still be very concerned if I'm a Warriors fan. It took a lot to beat this stinky Chicago team

Pirate Ramsay

also he seems to carry the ball a lot but hasn't gotten caught. he takes multiple steps with the ball in his hand before putting it back down

Anthony Gray

def not hating but how many seconds was that last inbound?!! cool to see us getting a break like that

Keith Waters

I wondered how long the braids would last.

Stevie Ray

I can see this gelling together. You essentially have a completely new team with 2 guys on the court who are getting used to nba pace. (Steph and Big J) the great thing is when everyone starts hitting those open looks the offense can wear a team out. There’s just so much motion and athletic ability from the starters. It’s all up from here great vid bro

Austin Z

Jordan Poole’s decision making this year is way better ‼️he’s playing way more decisive and choosing his spots when it comes to scoring not just forcing it

Natji Snow

Loved your comment about the 105 3's. I went to watch Mullen practice in the 90's before a game and watched him rattle off like 20+ 3's in a row. In practice. In the game he missed his first bunch (I don't really remember, but I do remember thinking... yes, practice is very different than the game). In fact, when I saw that PR I thought to myself, uh oh, another bad game from 3.

e40

I think its the talent ...he has elite talent and makes everything look so easy. Its more frustrating when he cruses than say whats happening with Oubre right now.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah if Oubre is not going to score! Id say long term we need around 25ppg for him

Athletic Alchemy

nah we needed that win and wise-man wasn't cutting it yesterday. we need the win vs Detroit to so maybe we we play one of the powerhouses during the home stand we can experiment and play with house money.

Anthony Gray

yeah that's the IQ thing Alc is talking about. he's just extremely desperate to break free of this funk

Anthony Gray

He is not taking no for an answer! He has earned his way into this CURRENT rotation. Let's not get carried away with the skillset tho he gets cooked on ball every time he is on the floor

Athletic Alchemy

I feel like a lot of people are hung up on the shooting numbers. Well I understand that many people have a certain picture of Wiggins in their head, and I'm not gonna sit here and say I watch a lot of T-Wolves the last four years. But it seems to me like it's become a catch frase to say, 'well wiggins didn't play to his capability' for lots a people. Even though he's been pretty solid like you pointed out. Either he rubs people the wrong way or they just repeat what the media told them the last 4 years. Either way, very important win mentally. More Poole PLS!!! Great Breakdown as always.

Toulivinho

that's what it's going to take to win right now. Steph has to give us 35-40 points for a dub and in here for it!

Anthony Gray

JTA ain't bagging groceries. There is a role for him to rebound, cut, screen, keep the ball moving, drive and kick, rebound, run the floor, defend on ball, defend help side, and occasionally hit an outside shot. He's pretty good at all of that.

Ryan Koppelman

Idk probably pace and pecking order. The suns didn’t really have an identity or system so he could just play and when they played fast he would go off.

Athletic Alchemy

More minutes and more touches for Wiseman Steve....he's not made of glass and he's young, strong, fresh, smart and needs the experience.

Steven Stanley

I think oubre will get better with time; especially when our (and his) defence gets better. In transition he is a problem but he seems to be flying into a loaded paint while looking for a whistle to bail him out.

Paul Byun

Those are great numbers

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah I like irritated Steph

Athletic Alchemy

Oh and word on Wiggins Oubre swap in terms of sweet and sour. Wiggins game is getting really interesting. Between what he seems to be trending toward with attack finish, get to the line, or kick, Wiseman pick and roll, and Dray pushing the break, our o may be redefining itself but very fun to watch evolve

Raze

Oh and could we write it on the white board every night to remember to stay connected to any tall white guy that shoots the three but can't dribble drive to the hoop cause the league seems to be full of them now and they did not stay connected to Markkanen.

Steven Stanley

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Bro is a player!

Athletic Alchemy

✊🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Nah I’m with you! I try to check myself and ask am I just being a hater... but it’s just really bad

Athletic Alchemy

🤞🏽

Athletic Alchemy

I know that look at LA fitness!

Athletic Alchemy

😁

Athletic Alchemy

better yet...we would be winning more than losing

Athletic Alchemy

What do you think the main diff between Suns Oubre and what we’ve seen so far? Is it the motion offense messin with his instincts and flow?

Raze

I agree its a crossroads for him

Athletic Alchemy

nah its gonna be a roll coaster year for sure

Athletic Alchemy

yeah very JaVale-ish but agree give him some time.

Athletic Alchemy

So good to see them have something to up the spirit Needed that for sure Grateful Kerr will keep tinkering, I know he will find some lemonade out there Gotta be wild playing with family like that DLee is blooming into a real microwave threat, love it Excited to see Wiseman continue to learn with Dray He’s like a big ol pony that doesn’t know his legs work yet but gonna soon realize with some up leveling of coordination and IQ he’ll be a dominate force Pick and roll him and Steph ALL DAY lol Great vid as usual! Looking forward to more!!

Raze

17 steals, more drives to the basket, 30 foul shots, 90% as a team from the foul line, that's gotta be part of the new formula going forward.

Steven Stanley

ooofff

Athletic Alchemy

yeah its amazing league wide really!

Athletic Alchemy

Kelly oubre to the nba is what young pretty female actresses are to Hollywood. How can a player soo fundamentally flawed get this far🤔

Ravi Dissanayake

Mannn if oubre and wigs could start hitting at a decent rate, steph could be averaging 30-10 this season

Pelvis

Bruh one of those Chicago announcers were annoying asf, I only watched our broadcast announcers before this game didn't realize how biased they are haha

Troy Cameron

Look at Steph playing like he didn't get his chain taken, and Kerr admitting that he needs to simplify shit. Those two are the ultimate trolls I swear

William Mitchell

That’s the 1!

Athletic Alchemy

Cant wait for dray to come back. Mabey he needs to get that cool fade from the 15-16 season for him to return to his prime? Turn back the time tables. In all seriousness its a big year for dray, its his chance to prove himself and im exited for him

hugojimcam

You’re still the GOAT basketball pundit alch!!!!!

Yeah, Oubre is a bit wild. Right now, I'm getting JaVale vibes. On the offensive end, I really hope he works on his 3, so that he can lure defenders out to the perimeter. Even though he's not knocking them down yet, I completely agree that the fact that he's ready to take it is what I LOVE. This is the exact thing that we've been trying to WILL Draymond into doing. With Oubre, I'm gonna withhold my negative judgement until I see him play with Draymond some, because I expect him to be a defensive beast. I hope, Draymond, EP, Wanamaker, and Oubre are our new "goon squad." 11:54 "Just take a knee bro! Don't run with it!!!" LOL too true.

Dave Han

can't believe I missed this game :( lots more exciting games coming up tho!

Ezra Abbey

I see my Big Body P nickname from last season stuck 😂

"I would of got that shit" lmao

Mikel anthony

Oubre is somehow shooting worse than Dray... But it's alright his offense will eventually come along

Diosdado

It really sucks I have to mute damn near every NBA broadcast now. Whether its CSN or national I mute every game. The only exceptions are if it’s Mike Breen without Mark Jackson or JVG, Mark Jones and Doris Broke, or Kevin Harlen and Reggie Miller.

Slurpy

U good unc, appreciate it

Nepotism payed off.

Jeppe Oliver Danielsen

Aye!! It's all good Unc we know you got us 👊🏾
