Did you say Claxton for Bjelli? I think thats hot

Raze

or is this just the golden era of pro athletes in the back end of their prime, making that money and living life to another level? MJ did SpaceJam, Bron doin his LA thing, maybe if you got the talent why not enjoy using it all?

Raze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84AA2wNBFo8 LOL I love the premise and its nice to see Steph vibin with a drink in em

Raze

yo, what do you think of Steph's new show: About Last Night what is your take? in general but also with the same Drey train of thought with finite time/energy

Raze

Did KD "break" the code of the front office in terms of roster construction with character being at the top of the list? Clearly his talent was too high to pass on but as Iggy and Dwest said the locker room was really intense and tough at times during KD's run with the dubs, seems like the front office values high character players unless the talent eclipses that value, fair enough, what do you think?

Matthew Velez

Hey Alch, how do we submit questions for the podcast if we don't want to do a voice memo? Do we email it to you and if so where at?

Raze

Why is Westbrook SO BAD? Is he the most untradable player in the NBA?

Francisco Hazel

I'm feeling what you're saying. If Wiseman comes back, he could share minutes with Loon. I still feel bad for Belly. Was hoping he would thrive in the system.

Chip Tingle

DLee’s voice ….Jackson family?

Adrian

I actually think Moody is going to be better than Jordan Poole by the middle of next season.

Raze

yo - you think Belly cracks the rotation now? If you take Belly off this team, what is the 2nd unit? Starters I am assuming at full strength: Steph, Klay, Wigs, Drey, Loon - then you got: GP, JP, Moody, Otto, Kuminga at the 5? Obviously the lineups aren't 5 in 5 out but I feel like our chemistry and depth is becoming elite. We still got DLee and JTA to mix in there. It will truly be AMAZING if we actually can be a FULL strength this year for a meaningful stretch. Seeing Drey out there and JWise, we got quite the nice mix going. I don't follow the league super close, do other teams utilize the G-League like we seem to do with Kuminga and Moody to give them more experience and get them ready to hit the ground running?

Hung Tran

Hey it's working like magic. Moody looked like a lost cause a couple of weeks ago, now he looks realy for prime time.

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

When Klay hit that 6th three and ran towards the crowd the whole section was on their feet going nuts. Arena was like Oracle again for a second.

Jerry Heverly

I do not understand Sacramento. If there was a metric for success/talent ratio they would be last in the league. JTA has been great for three successive games. He is a catalyst (element that causes a reaction without participating in the reaction). Unless Phoenix has massive injuries I don’t see now the Warriors can catch them. So resting the vets seems sensible. Invent some injuries if necessary.

John Z

Great team energy in this dub. Glad to see a differing pace between slow and fast. Great breakdown as always.

guni_800

I remember some of us, myself included, were complaining about Kuminga getting a short lease compared to some of the other players on our roster. Apparently in Draymonds post-game interview last night, he mentioned how Kuminga came in late to a couple practices and other things which caused the "vets to step in". So maybe that's why Kerr was rather stern when it came to Kuminga's minutes. So if that was the case, I'm all with it. It's good that the organization is trying to install discipline into the kid.

Kit H

Alch has shut the discord down for the time being. He'll let us know when it's back up

Noel Corcoran

Anybody know the Discord link?

lance chichester

Great game, glad I didn't see chioza or belly. We got game 6 Klay in the regular season

Bobby D

Zombie-mode Klay is the best Klay

Major Powers

Yeah they did JB dirty, he was such a good foil to Fitz on dork steroids. Kelenna has just thrown gas on the dork fire.

Love the Barnett's law call out. I miss hearing JB on the call

Jaystaypaid

Noticed that kuminga tried to catch JTA when he fell awkwardly on the hip. he must be listening to you alc! that or weatherspoon chewed him out after he let him fall lol

Jaystaypaid

klays post game was gold "in 2011, the kings took... Not Klay Thompson". I LOLed when i looked up who they took. JIMMERR?!?!?!?

Stevie Ray

Dude I though realGM had misprinted the details...so they basically gave away Gary Trent Jr. last year

Paradox

On a side note what the fck is Portland doing with that trade

Athletic Alchemy

The Goony goof Robin would be perfect!

Stevie Ray

Funny the narrative of the all the recent pods are prior to this game with all the Suns praise as the best team in basketball Watch the story lines once Klay does 1 of these on TNT against a contender...as long as Dray comes back after the Allstars break 85% This the best team in the NBA without any trade addictions (Bill Sims whispered a Robin Lopez buyout in Orlando and him reuniting with Kerr who drafted him)

KuraiT

Klays hot is hotter than anyone else's hot, I had forgotten how freaking ridiculous it really is when he gets unconscious, even when curry goes on his own personal game ending runs he misses here and there, klay just doesn't miss no matter what crazy shot he chucks up lol also I have to disagree about Curry, he's looked right to me since the news about him finding the problem came out like 5 games ago

Athletic Alchemy

I mean…I’d do it! But no way KD tucks tail back to Steph 😀

Rob00

Alch they saying would we trade Wiggins Kuminga and parts for KD? I know thats nuts, but I say no. a lot of people saying yes though. What u think

KuraiT

You should know better than to take anything the sports media says seriously, their one and only job is to worship whatever team Lebron is on

Chip Tingle

“Hope killing possession” is now on my quality stolen goods list. Go groove Alch

Branden Edwards

Kings took Jimmer Freddette over Klay

Daniel Fries

Draymond's got a high bar to live up to when he gets back; hopefully he'll be just as engaged as he was earlier this season.

Paradox

100% Stephs shot looks right now. The way Damion Lee just casually stepped out to the 3 pt line is insane to me. Almost everyone else would have taken the 2. Dude didn't even look sped up he shot it like it was a practice session.

Nick Elliston

Great Dubs win. As for the Kings, they are still a mess, but I am all for the Mitchell-Haliburton backcourt. There's a toughness and hunger that just isn't there with Fox. Both are high IQ defenders who can play on or off-ball on offense, and, as long as they can space the floor consistently, they should only get better. If they can swap Fox out for guys who fit this team better, this could be something good. There were rumors this morning of Fox-to-the-Knicks for Randle, but I think they need to look around more. I still have the Knicks, along with the Pacers and Sixers, as landing spots for any potential Fox trades.

A feel-good win all around! And Klay going crazy again is such a welcome sight!

Slurpy

they took Jimmer ahead of Klay lol

Wilson Wang

Listening to Nick Wright this morning talk about how if the Lakers are healthy, their only worry in the West should be the Suns. Obviously the Warriors are still small, but I’m not convinced at all that the Lakers are the favorite in a series against the Dubs

Graham Ramiza

Only thing more consistent than looney this season is the hot garbage that fitz and kelenna have been serving up nightly…

Siddhant S

I shouldn’t get ahead of myself but I’m gonna get ahead of myself. Klay is eyeing that finals MVP trophy. Unfazed.

Raze

JuanT should sit for hip soreness and Kuminga should enter the dunk contest. It's pretty surreal watching Klay and Steph do their thing while these fresh legs ball out simultaneously.

Ezra Abbey

davion's first step is kinda crazy, if the shot starts falling he's gonna be a problem

Harry Setrakian

7 guys in double figures 🥵🥵

David Y

I mean, sometimes simple is better. I like "Joku." Makes him sound like some Tribal Warlord but he may be the face of the franchise one day! Great work, as always Alc!

Thomas Ogas

I BURST OUT laughing at "Al looking to dip into the whisky" But, damn, this team is looking so good right now. Giving Otto, Andre, and Draymond plenty of time to rest up. So deep.
