That’s a great book! I need to read it again tbh

Athletic Alchemy

Also interesting to hear you bring up the Mind 1 and Mind 2; I'm just about to read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman who won the Nobel Prize in Economics and was one of the first to champion this theory. Cool to hear how you think it might apply for the bubble situation.

Luke Zhang

This might be blasphemous to other Warriors fans, and I love Steph too and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world, but could you imagine if Dame was on the Dubs, esp in Oakland all those years? Obviously I don't think we'd have near the success, but that'd be a crazy We Believe atmosphere, like Beast Mode going to the Raiders. To qualify though I would never say I wanted anyone other than Steph for everything's he's done for the organization.

Luke Zhang

Idk from what I’ve seen the Bucks are pretty good with him off. The crazy amount of 3s Dallas shoots does probably balance them out more

Athletic Alchemy

I’ve tried so many different styles of content.. this feels like a sweet spot to go along with the breakdowns. Glad you like them!

Athletic Alchemy

I think the Bucks are even more reliant on Giannis than the Mavs on Doncic, Luka holds the ball all game long, but when he's not on the court the team doesn't crumble, because they still follow their system. The bucks' system relies entirely on Giannis, while the Mavs' system is about shooting and moving at a fast pace, and they still have the personnel to do it without Luka.

José Francisco

Congratulations man! 💪🏽

Athletic Alchemy

No I’m with you! For my taste dame shoots too much. But if Lakers can’t make 3s it could be a real problem. He is going to run out a gas but I think he has at least rd 1 in him after 4 months off.

Athletic Alchemy

YOOO! This podcasts have been fire. You should have been making these, why are you just starting now.

Bereket Berhanu

Alc, I have 8 years married today. Was great to hear the props to your wife tonight. Congrats dude

Jim

As someone who wants to see Draymond with more rings than LeBron, the Blazers just bother me. I loved your analysis a few podcasts ago, but that's the classic "on paper" analysis. I want to believe it, but the Blazers just wilt constantly in the post season. Does CJ hate Dame? There is something going on there. And if Lillard needs to score 50 to eek out must wins, it's going to be the same garbage all over again esp w the Lakers D. Now- I don't watch them enough. And today the Mavs were playing to not play the Clippers. I would play hard too. Dame is incredible. But he can't be the only player

Jim

James...best point guard in the league isn’t in the bubble. He’s playing golf with presidents gearing up for another title.

Stevie Ray

I mean it’s all relative.. I can’t tell you.. feel me. But 3-1 would be tempting for me

Athletic Alchemy

We gotta see a breakdown on that mavs blazers game man. Dame got an argument for best pg in the league 👀

Yeah that’s a good point.. the trash talk is going to be super noticeable. At least half the talk in game is on some side a mouth shit they ain’t really supposed to hear. Not in Bevs case obviously. But we are seeing normally quiet guys get more agitated and talking more.

Athletic Alchemy

What odds you think would be worth put cash money on in taking Portland in a first round upset?

Stevie Ray

I agree with the empty gym theory. With Dame though, I think those with more advisories will be effected positive and negative ways, with things like Pat Bev being so visible and audible from the bench. These personal rivalries will be amplified in how they affect late game free throws and heat checks. And yea Pg13 I’d be fucking quiet till after getting past the second round after his last few post season performances...

Stevie Ray

Got strike a balance.. I like that it’s 4days per week.

Athletic Alchemy

Apparently Steph is doing HIT workouts now after all the Marathons he's been running these past few years 😂. Maybe Steph can have Dray be his HIT workout buddy so Dray doesn't cat off for most of the year like in 2019

Another GOAT line “spraying in peoples faces like its pornhub”
