"Unflappable". I heard you :)

One thing Im woried about Wiseman is that nobody on the warriors roster is built like him and therefore when players like Draymond lecture Wiseman on defense, they always emphasize the verticality rule. But I truly believe Wiseman with his athleticism and length can be a ferocious shot blocker, right now he does too much of that hands up stay straight up thing when he could've just take a swipe and erase the shot

You got any good sleepers for fantasy?

Credit to Wannamaker he's been playing better than in his first several games seems to have calmed down some. I can now see part of why they brought him in. Regardless though I think Poole is worth giving more minutes and see what comes out of it.

I would love if Poole could eat Wanamaker minutes at backup PG I hate him and its the only thing I really want to change on the roster
Athletic Alchemy
Thanks.. Wonder if you could flip him for a pick to idk Boston or someone who needs a big
Athletic Alchemy
It’s true
Paradox
Definitely saw an "emotional equilibrium" with this team. Wiseman shaking of his indecisiveness, Oubre massively slowing down his game, and Steph getting calmer and not jumping like crazy on his shots. Not sure what's up with Kerr though lol
KendrickTheCreative
I definitely think Dray is giving me some game. From what it sounds like Wiseman is VERY receptive in general so I definitely believe he is getting some game from Dray. It would be silly for someone to be so "I wanna learn" but ignore Dray when he's done it all and a smaller size too. Although, of course, the coach's are being coach's but you replace on court teaching.
Paradox
I didn't see that Wanamaker vs Wiseman moment, nice find lmao

I don't buy the standard wisdom that Draymond is tutoring Wiseman. Dray is the kind of guy who likes to think of himself as an OG. Being lectured to is not a good way to learn for Wiseman or anyone. I suspect JW is learning from the assistant coaches and just from experience while he tunes out Draymond. ....Kudos to Alch for seeing Wiseman yelling at Wannamaker to throw him the damned ball. That is the kind of thing that indicates growth.

Alchemy, I got a question for you: In the end does Looney Help us more, or does he hurt us more? I suspect that GS has a sentimental connection with him. Do you think at his age, contract size, his roster spot... Is it worth it?

I love this Wiseman. So aggressive and so assertive
Qiushi Hu
Is it me or does James look skinnier and more athletic?

Bazemore is lowkey one of my favorite additions. I was super excited when I heard we signed him. He's just a really solid player and always maximum effort all over the floor. I know this is a little blasphemous but I think he's going to kind of be our Barbossa this season.
Stevie Ray
Like I said on the last one, it's not the hands.
slamandjam2
Aldridge really needs to consider hanging it up. He is not close to the same player as he was before. Don't get me wrong, secure the bag for as long as u can, but he's just going thru the motions out there.

I’m copping one of those Oakland Wiseman Jerseys, let’s goo dubs

Was a fun game to watch for sure. The Clippers and Lakers wins were more satisfying but just internally within the team this seemed to be their best game yet. The chemistry is coming along and guys are getting more comfortable in their roles. I think they should rest Wiggins if he needs it the last thing this team needs is for him to miss any significant amount of time. Wiseman is coming along nicely we still have to be patient but a lot of good signs for such a young player who basically came straight out of high school. Poole really deserves more minutes pre season all you saw out of the dubs social media was about how much hard work he had put in over everyone else on the team and then you short him on minutes like this? Not cool. At least give him a chance and show him the same patience you have to the likes of Wannamaker, Looney and Molder.

"Any time we can get a real playmaker/ball handler off the bench in the PG spot, I'll be hoping we can make an offer for that. " Facts. If we could get an upgrade at the 1 position or even give Jordan Poole more minutes to actually get a real look at his improvement as a basketball player, I'd be extremely happy.
hellla
This game showed growth. Didn't let off of the lead, we saw Wiseman being more aggressive and showing off what he has learned, tested and showed ways they could combat the Box And 1, etc. I wouldn't call it hollow; this team is just rounding out now, so a performance like this is pretty nice to see. Spurs were 6-2 in their last 8 games; they're not a bad team by any means
Russ
Wiseman in this game looked like OK enough of this scared to make a mistake bull shit, I'm going to start playing a little pissed off, the Troll look was to that, 5 games ago he doesn't give that look. I want him to get a foul or 3 for too much aggression going after boards, stop accepting block outs, go home and watch Rodman tapes and fight for it.
Jansen E
Hell no, especially not on this team. We don't want him to live in the midrange. Yes he should work on it so its consistently a threat, but hes a hyper athletic 7fter. He needs to live right near the rim like he was doing in this game. If I start seeing him clank turn around jumpers from 15ft, Im blaming you! hahaha
Dave Han
I think in the 1st qtr, he got a pass right under the basket and just froze...passing it to the perimeter resulting in a turnover. I was listening to the Spurs crew at that point and even they were flabbergasted at how Looney passed up an obvious dunk. I really hope he gets a little more pep in his step, he's just felt a beat too slow all season.
Ryosuke Kimura
I haven’t heard that for a long time

Wiggs does kinda like Klay in the way. Low maintenance and enjoy his life now
Anthony Gray
for sure he's different. Superstar ready...
Nathan Glanzer
They are much cleaner looking when they aren't also the terrible baggy style haha.

I think this win was a little hollow. Steve Kerr said best win of the season. I'm not sure. I think the Clippers game was the best win of the season. The spurs could not hit the backside of a barn. Aldridge had no interest in being physical and since the spurs 1st unit is small we didn't get crushed on the glass. Despite the offense which was decidedly better than it's been I don't think this game proved much. The Jazz will be the better measuring stick to where we are at. The Knicks may prove a more formidable test as well with Mitchell Robinson and Randle.
Just noticed you never even mentioned Looney once. He actually had a solid game but that's Looney in a nutshell. That play where Steph broke Patty Mills' ankles into the screen was sooo dirty. With the rest of the guys jelling on offense, these gimmicky defenses don't stand a chance.
Pop
Before 2013, the Spurs had the Warriors number. I just remember not taking any games when they were playing in SA. I bet Steph stills feels a way about that and I'm here for it.
Steven Stanley
Game by game the Warriors are finding roles and connections, growing and getting better. Although I think ultimately the Dubs are going to end up being a year away from a full return to being a dominate team, this year will still be a fun ride probably with a heartbreak at the end but next year get out of our way.
StarBoyYem
They need to rest Wigg, he's been dealing with this nagging injuries ever since the second clippers game
Ezra Abbey
one we get klay and that mini pick man..... sheesh
Alexander Garcia
Chef Steph was serving Grilled Cheese Pattys last night, looking forward to see some NY chopped Cheese tonight :D

why was it so accurate tho... lookin like a weird kid in elementary school 🤣

I totally missed out on the last two games but did watch them recorded and watched your videos as well. They're old news now so I didnt comment on your videos. But that lakers game was nice!! This game was one of the first times this whole year where I was actually confident we would win from beginning to end. And seeing them FINALLY understand the timing on lobs and dump off passes to Wiseman was great. He still needs to work on open court decision making but Im loving his mindset. Im thankful I never gave up on Oubre. He's starting to pay off big time. Coupled with his energy and defense, he's finally hitting shots and his team defense IQ is ever so slightly improving. We could actually slip into the 6th-7th seed at this rate! Still am on the "get rid of Wanamaker" boat. Im not getting off anytime soon. Any time we can get a real playmaker/ball handler off the bench in the PG spot, I'll be hoping we can make an offer for that. I know he's been crucial in a handful of games now but I still dont trust him handling the ball. Things are looking up man!!!
Luke Zhang
I like that look Wiseman shot him lol like bruh I got way more clout than you already
tomas klappen
Alch i think you forgot to say something really importante about the game... EXTENDO GARBAGE TIME BABYYYYY
Luke Zhang
you could tell he was in complete control and just toying with them lol... how you want it where you want it?
Adv
Wiggins shot is so flat, its amazing its going in at such a high rate. Also I loved those jerseys, used to not be a fan of that era jerseys, but there's something about them
Jello Smooth
Where are those Dubs fans that were interested in LMA + the 11th for the #2. That would have been Wiseman abusing LMA for the SPURS.. Wiseman under the cruel tutelage of Grand Master Green will Kill Ball.

Steph - KD CO-MVP‘s 🤷🏻♂️
richard phan
Give young poole more pt
Raze
Yo I’d pay just to hear your jokes lol I feel like Kerr (like Curry) does go off against Pop/Spurs Remember when Kerr really lost his shit one year against the Spurs?? Gotta show the master he got that fire and game Lovin the synergy that’s forming and we are low key rolling out a top tier 2nd unit I’m sold on young JP, I know he didn’t do great but he clearly just needs to get in rhythm and he gonna make that second unit even more dynamic Love it!! You make me laugh and learn!! The best 🙏🏻
hellla
Bro every single time I watch Wanamaker on the floor with Wiseman, he always looks him off on offense. I don't care if Wanamaker playing decent lately, I really hope we replace him at some point in this season. I don't enjoy watching him at all.
Luke Smith
thanks Alc.... love your work
Donovan Rivera
LOVING WISEMAN. Do you think he should model his offense like LaMarcus ?
james moore
how you feel about new york? Their fans talking hella shit right now about that defense
hellla
That comment about Poeltl. Lmaoooooo
A m a r Singg
This is gonna sound crazy but that first half was the best I'VE EVER seen Steph play. Everything he did was pure gold, and almost every point was because of the attention he was getting somehow. Just total domination. Also at 2:40 I really hate that play...just take it to the rim, sick of the fast break threes unless it's Steph.
As a spurs fan it hurts having to have Aldrige on the floor. Good as always Alc!
John
This game felt like i was watching real warriors brand basketball. Like 2015 warriors vibes but better.
Slurpy
Wiggins oozes that awkward and funny klay energy. Dude just chills in the background and does his thing. Hope him and Klay become boys
Wilson Wang
Alch you catch Wiesman’s postgame interview? love his attitude, & he’s so respectful to the reporter’s addressing them all by name. he’s gonna be something special for sure ✊🏻
Bruh I was eating when you said buddy looks like he smells his own frats I straight up almost just died 😂😂
