Yeah Harden late game is just cringey, will see it looks like Russ is going to go with this extended little break now.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah man I’m down!

Athletic Alchemy

Hey Alc, IDK where better to ask you, but any interest in coming on our pod? Just generally chop it up about basketball? Warriors-centric , but open to whatever? Check us out and hit me back if you are down so we can work out details: https://youtu.be/HiK79OddSCM

I appreciate that you were impressed by Houston, but I am not. After that disastrous game 4, I lost a lot of faith in the rockets, especially Harden. My Rockets twitter I follow were outraged at him (they love him but they criticise him fairly too) by his shit defense and terrible and lazy decision making. He's so inconsistent in closing moments, and I see why we got Russ and CP to back him up because of that. In the playoffs everytime, the pattern is that Harden bricks threes and makes stupid and lazy turnovers and I just saw that again. Its so hard especially seeing luka ball out like Jordan. And Dort is a problem, he probrably flipped the entire series because of his defense. He can't shoot and is prob a role player but his defense is impeccable (blocking Harden going left even). This even did this to lebron in a previous matchup. Nevermind the ASU familiarity, Harden usually burns people who have even more intimidating attributes and familiarity but Dort might just win OKC the series with his D. and the critics r right about Harden man smh :(

It seems the Nuggets will need a dynamic big who can protect the rim in the starting lineup next to Jokic. Miles Turner would be an interesting fit, they got tons of options to manifest that exchange.

Stevie Ray

Yeah reminds me of, I think it was House trying to step on Klays ankles in the playoffs.. same type a extra step

Athletic Alchemy

Wonder if it will be Middleton that is the scale goat and on the block

Athletic Alchemy

Time will tell!

Athletic Alchemy

Alc did you see the second angle from the side on Morris stepping on Luka's foot? Convinced me 100% that it was intentional, he changed the direction of his foot last second....

Tbf, Hakeem won DPOY and MVP in the same year. But regardless it is an amazing accomplishment for Giannis. The Bucks are probably gonna get cooked in the ECF in 6 tho since top 10 Middleton wants to play like Alfonzo Mckinnie.

William Mitchell

The Jokic take was a little wild for me😂 the defense for the nugs is atrocious. I think they need a wing scorer and a better PF to have any chance or making noise

Dirty Spud

jj in black face lmao... i knew youd mention pg not wanting the smoke the second I saw that shit happen. the lakers look spooky as hell, lebron seems to be getting into playoff mode and if he fully unlocks like he usually does I think it's a wrap.

Ezra Abbey

CJ isn’t at fault, he is just the odd man out. He has the most value. Nurk did struggles against probably the biggest and most athletic frontline in the L.

Athletic Alchemy

Im more disappointed at nurk and the blazers coaching staff than cj. How can you not figure out how to attack when dame gets trapped on the pick and roll and its a 4 v 3? nurk is trash man! He couldn’t shoot, roll properly, facilitate or finish properly on a short roll. If you took nirk out and replaced him with draymond blazers could have have legit beat la. I think stats should get fired.

Bereket Berhanu

Think I’d pass unless it was for just the TPE which im sure he makes more than.

Athletic Alchemy

Blake didn't die, but he was left paralyzed tho.

José Francisco

Harden seen defendin the post too

Eric Edelmann

Great vid Alc, caught you slippin for the first time ever thou lol Jordan and Olajuwon won mvp/dpoy in same season... Very rare air still thou... And how long do you think the games will be delayed due to the latest police shooting victim, Jacob Blake?? (R.I.P. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿)

Nsikan Usen

Harden def hit el buffet royale in vegas

Eric Edelmann

Crazy thought ... if Portland should move off CJ like the Uncle says.... should the Dubs put together a trade (picks, etc.) to pick him up as the 3rd guard? Bet he has 1-2 more good years if there’s a ring in his sights. Don’t know how the cap works here.

percussion boy

I think it would take them getting beat decisively before the Finals.

Athletic Alchemy

Hey uncle alchemy what do you think it will take for giannis to leave the bucks for dubs is it winning it this season or if they get bounced in CF or even in finals. I don't think the money isn't gonna matter cause he's gonna make more money in San Fran eventually

wow crazy how much it has transformed form its original reference..Im a start saying "a shovel is a shovel"

Athletic Alchemy

Great episode. I think it might be my favorite NBA Now episode to date. You might enjoy this little bit of history on the phrase “call a spade a spade” https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/19/224183763/is-it-racist-to-call-a-spade-a-spade
