Warriors vs Kings |Pre 2|

I'm so hyped on Wiseman potentially starting the opener. He looked like who we thought he was in practice, running with the first team. Drafted him in the sixth round in my fantasy draft and I think he's gonna be a steal.

Joshuah Jerge

cant wait for the new video

Steven Barba

Yo you gotta do this alch lol

Connor H

lol i wanna hear that xfile music from the PA everytime Mulder hits a 3...

Bryan Yu

The fact that When games are on ESPN/ABC I watch them with music playing in the background or in silence. The Mark Jackson Van Gundy pairing was god Awful. Chris Webber and Reggie are good. I have been praying someone would give Van Gundy and Mark Jackson a coaching job cus clearly that's the only way to get them off the air

Elmo the Platypus

I’ve felt that way for the longest.. but have been forced to give credit where credit is due. He seems to have a knack for timely plays and shoots on the move. But I think all these bench guards are going to really have to fight to stay in the rotation. Last season was a lot free minutes .

Athletic Alchemy

Very grateful yall allow me to keep at it 🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Can anyone sell me on Damion Lee, why is he on the roster? Like I get that he's married into the Curry family but surely Curry Bob and Steve run a more professional team than that don't they? I'm loving Jordan Poole and though he may never be a starter in the league unless he's game grows in really unexpected ways I do feel a lot more comfortable about him contributing fairly well off the bench than I did last season. Was a decent win over the Kings with nice adjustments in defending Fox and Hield. I'm very happy with what I'm seeing from Oubre and Wiggins so far and the team is going to need every bit of it if a meaningful playoff run is to have a chance.

Alasdair Macdonald

Alch...been a Patreon for years. So glad to see your continued success. Best commentator on YouTube!

juan is just not an nba player, it pains me to see him struggle on the court every game

Kevin Chan

Thanks! He and Dray had covid

Athletic Alchemy

Agreed, if he can defend that really changes the equation for back up guard minutes

Athletic Alchemy

Never!

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks man! Sharing my channel and word of mouth always helps

Athletic Alchemy

Lot people rooting for him... I just don’t see it.

Athletic Alchemy

You were kind of rough on JTA shrugging him off. His combination of playmaking, screening, movement off ball, drive and kick game, as well as his defense and rebounding make him pretty intriguing inside Kerr's offense. He didn't get that start for no reason. He'd be a great deep bench guy for this team, IMHO. Just saying. Love your stuff, as always!

Ryan Koppelman

Never change Alch 🤣 never change

Pelvis

How we get you on ESPN! Your pace and breakdowns are hilarious, informative, and on point! Really appreciate you putting these great takes, breakdowns and thoughts out for us all!

Raze

I believe Nico will be a contributing member of the team this year and one of the foundational pieces moving forward. His basketball IQ and his skills are off the chart for a 19-year-old. Once he gets comfortable and is able to relax, he will become a crowd favorite.

Passing wins

United States Love your intellect, honesty, and humor. I appreciate how you saw what a good floor game Nico had even though he didn't shoot well. What surprised me was his defense. If he can show that he isn't a liability on the defensive end, his minutes will increase exponentially.

Passing wins

Nice breakdown. Alch you are already in regular-season form. when are we gonna see Wiseman? Why are they keeping him out? Rest???

Andrej Krickovic

Entertaining analysis as always lol Feels good af to see Steph fired up! Nice chemistry developing. I like what I see in the 4th quarter too!

Bailey

Missed these alc! Gonna finally get league pass but I always end up watching your breakdowns the day after a game

Andrew Mam

The precautionary falls always worry me, though he does go with the energy a lot and doesn't hit the ground hard. Great stuff as always!

John Z

Idk! I got see more. You would imagine it’s the ladder at his age. Guys don’t really have there legs yet especially probably a big like him.

Athletic Alchemy

Is Chriss less athletic now or more patient and mature?

Raze

😆

Athletic Alchemy

Of course there a top of the interest list. I just found myself comparing them immediately

Athletic Alchemy

I thinks it’s brads mins he will take

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

See I think he might push Brad now if he is going to be able to defend as well.

Athletic Alchemy

Last I heard he is a go Thursday night..

Athletic Alchemy

Pinched that boy out!

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks Richard 🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

"...no I'M the white guy on the court!" haha

I think poole is going to play back up 2.... and during the season wannamaker will play back up point. nico might be in the g league a lot.... but i think he is full time back up next season.

Adrian

I don't think you're the only one watching the two wings. I think most people were excited about Oubre, but he seems to have exceeded exceptions thus far. Not so much play, but his energy, and vibe and its presumably positive effects in a playoff run. I'm still hopefully for Wiggins, but I'm quite sure that the front office is mapping out Wiggins + Min Pick options after seeing what Oubre may be.

Stevie Ray

Mannion looks like he's already put in motion a piece of legislation which will put himself ahead of Poole in the pecking order. Sometimes its just what's between the ears right?

Stevie Ray

"Like if Tyler Herro grew up around white people." Haha... pulling out the "X Files music ... Loved this and the last video. They are gonna make the first game of the season much more fun. Thanks!

e40

Just upped my donation from $2 to $5 looking forward to much more Warriors content. Great as always cracking me up. Mulder x-files LMAO.

Idk how, but Nico putting Haliburton and Guy through hell while he was in the game was a surprise to see. He needs to be able to hit a shot, but I see why you were higher on him than I was. His playmaking is just too good to ignore. Unfortunately it might take some years b4 he is better than Brad

William Mitchell

Lol happy for guy tho. He cool. That bucket is gonna keep him fired up for the season lmao.

Antonio lee

alchemy clearly gearing up into regular season form with the roasts.... my mans said Whiteside doesn't wipe his backside, lol 🤣😭. dropped the X-Files soundtrack on Mulder's 3-ball... let's get this season going and please Steve Kerr #FreeJamesWiseman

Anthony Gray

I love Mannion

Kevin Chan

De'aron Fox peanut head.... I'm dead bro 🤣🤣🤣

Anthony Gray

Any chance Mannion starts taking away minutes from Wanamaker? It seems to me like his pace and confidence are already as strong as Brad's...

keeg

Interesting.. the mid does seem like it’s shot with a different confidence

Athletic Alchemy

Health and Wiseman make for a big variable

Athletic Alchemy

Wiggin's 3 pt shot looks too low arced imo when he isn't shooting from the corners. Guy needs to focus more on drives and 3s. I still remember Klay and KD had their worst 3 pt % when they were working on their midrange game, they start shooting a lil differently. Nico has a sick compilation of various floaters which doesn't get talked about much. He'll get better on drives and 3s eventually once he adapts to longerand bigger defenders.

Paradox

Most important part of the game !? I brought up his defense and gave him plenty of shine. The kings were also playing the end of their bench who looked like they never played together.

Athletic Alchemy

I don't even know how to feel about this team, some Warriors fans think we're going to the finals but some betting sites are projecting us to be an 11th seed. Hopefully once the season picks up we'll have a better idea. Excited af for the season to start!

Ezra Abbey

Nah he shot his shot..idk man Mulder seems super limited. Lee plays harder and has a little float game. I want to see Mulder come off some screens and hit off the move.

Athletic Alchemy

I don’t know! I heard he really likes him.. so maybe. You would think it be the other way around tho right?

Athletic Alchemy

You missed the most important aspect of the game, Mannion's defense. You showed one time when he blew up a screen with his quickness but he did that three or four times. And he messed up several other Sac plays with his pestering of the ball. The Kings scored because they simply threw it into a big man for the easy layup or dunk but Mannion took their guards out of the game. Maybe this was a fluke but I was really impressed.

Jerry Heverly

Niko looked good on D especially fighting over the picks where he did it numerous times and Chriss will need more minutes if he adds the outside shot to his game.

Steven Stanley

Alch i thought you were going to butcher Lee for missing the game winning 3 hahahaha. Jokes aside, how much do you think hes link to steph is keeping him in the roster? With kent, kelly, moulder, nico, poole how many minutes will he play, you can argue moulder is the better offensive and defensive player already

tomas klappen

Alc u think Steve not playing a mulder that much cuz he has a guaranteed spot in the roster ?

Webber is ok sometimes, Miller is okay sometimes and Burke does good interviews. Jackson and Van Gundy F and F-.

Steven Stanley

😁🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Its an event whenever you drop a video. Got to grab the popcorn

andreas walker

Might push wanna!

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah it was Poole.. I’m astonished at how bad Grant is! Clearly doesn’t really watch or pay attention to the league. And on top of that.. he gives super generic bland takes almost if he thinks he is the play by play. I love when he said Buddy came off the bench last year and didn’t complain once.

Athletic Alchemy

That's true, I hope we can build that chemistry and become that dark horse, gritty, sleeper team that may just make it to the 7th seed and surprise the clippers in the first round or something like that

Thomas Joseph

hey also - I started out watching TNT but switched at the half to the local broadcast. Wasnt' any better! But at least they know which player is which. Also did you catch the moment where someone (Whiteside maybe?) got kneed in the nuts and it was clear from the replay what had happened, but the announcers didn't see it?

Daniel Fries

Nico is looking nice!! I love her defensive effort and his playmaking. Looking like a true point guard!

KendrickTheCreative

I like the “best player on a contender” marker.. that ensures it goes to someone deserving most the time. But we got a long way to go before this discussion should be had

Athletic Alchemy

if Nico starts hitting jumpers..

Daniel Fries

It's bs it's all a storyline thing with them. Smh. Even though we have the best story if Steph continues to play like this all season.

Thomas Joseph

Right.. unforced feel like 2

Athletic Alchemy

For some reason I barely saw him or noticed him... there in lies his problem

Athletic Alchemy

Stats say there was 16 turnovers for Warriors, but felt like at least 30.

Ivan

Great ending to a fun game. You see how ripped GR3 was looking? Looked like Iguodala out there

james v

Got a be sniffing 50 wins don’t care who you are..

Athletic Alchemy

They did.. Oubre might end up being better with second unit than Wig

Athletic Alchemy

Another great breakdown to bust up my work day. I can't wait till you have some video of Wiseman to analyse. The video of his first practice on Monday was extremely intriguing. I know us Dubs fans have to be patient but the feeling's positive. Last night-the second unit slipped back into last season-that's gotta stop.

Paul Hanson

i'm actually excited for the season, hate how they're already crowning Doncic wit the MVP though, completely overlooking Steph, the disrespect is real
