GSW VS LAL |GM-52|

Lyle Mabalot

FIREWORKS CONVETION lol good one bro

Pb1203

He grew up on 95th in Oakland. He's reppin his block.

Thanks, good points, ParadoxLover. I haven’t checked yet, but I’d be willing to guess that none of these three have been known as good defenders in College, besides maybe blocked shots from Kat...

😂

Anthony Gray

Yeah and I dunno if Kuzma was is hurt but he didn't look good tonight. they gotta be kicking themselves over Brandon Ingram.

Daniel Fries

Draymond out with back tension? It's like when I invite a new guest to my house I lock up my dog in the back room for the first while, so they don't get barked at and will feel welcomed.

Don't know if Aaron Gordon really fits on the team next year. If we draft Wiseman were gonna be stacked at the 4/5 position. Would love to see Wiggins run with Steph and Klay. He could be a good release valve when we need that extra person to step up.

Athletic Alchemy

Good guess! He was born in 93. Maybe it homage to a family members football number.

Athletic Alchemy

💯

Athletic Alchemy

Appreciate ya Raymond! Might be time to tune back in... like you said youngsters are getting better and the Chef on the way.

Nathan Glanzer

Is '95 maybe the year that kid was born? Lmao

Paradox

Why LeBron will never be the GOAT: both MJ and Kobe knew when to give up that old carpet and just go bald.

Paradox

Westbrook won dpoy back in ucla. Now he's hardly a good defender, if anything he is pretty bad off ball and doesn'tr try hard on ball. Defense is less stamina consuming in college with all the zone being played. Not to mention in the NBA the incentive is to pad your offensive stats so stars will save as much energy as possible for that. That's why we lucky to have Steph and Klay who don't do anything of the sort.

Raymond M. Wood

I still donate to Alchemy every month, but I have to admit that I have been just ignoring the Dubs because, well, you know, this is a season when Steph and Klay finally get a long needed rest. But, these young bloods have become a LOT better than they were in the last game I watched over a month ago. Now, of course, they were not going to beat the Lakers. But, they are now looking like a really GREAT bench for when Steph, Klay, and Draymond get back.

I find the whole friendship thing between D’Angelo, Booker and Kat so interesting... I mean, I can’t remember three totally gifted, strangely slow-paced scorers who don’t play defense all being such good friends...habits are an interesting thing. I really wonder if they just never had to play defense to win before the nba and simply never have believed its necessary...how is it possible that they all would be like that, Alchemy, any thoughts?

Athletic Alchemy

🙌🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Good call on Ky’s ball security, now that I think about it he rarely coughs it up. If he does it’s a miss communication.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah I thought they would keep him.. it’s ironic they are now in the position we had been. Forced to sacrifice any future prospects for the right now.

Athletic Alchemy

No doubt everyone who can is going to cash in it on the tragedy... that said I look forward to the dope Kobe gear on the way.

Athletic Alchemy

Was Mark popping off again!? I tune him out

Athletic Alchemy

Good comp with the kings.. Foxx, Bags when he is out there need to play fast.

Athletic Alchemy

The pace is going to help everybody except maybe Lee and Loon... Bradley inevitably goes down every year because of the way he plays defense. It’s effective, but he has no self preservation.

Anthony Gray

yeah as alc mention norvell put poole on skates a couple of times and low key was givin' the chef the business. I was surprised when the Lakers waved him. He an undersized two guard in today's NBA. Probably similar to CJ McCollum but he is 22 on a 10 day. It better convert.

KendrickTheCreative

Really? Makes me wanna look up his preseason highlights !

KendrickTheCreative

I believe in the warriors system with Wiggins. Super excited about this teams future! Wish Wiggins contract wasn't so damn expensive! 2020 season gonna be dope!

Steven Stanley

Wiggins had 2 or 3 excellent close outs on outside shot as well, something people were saying he just doesn't do....so.

Steven Stanley

Alch is right again an entertaining game of nearly all positives. The early season Portland game was great, the Rockets win on Christmas day also great but this loss was not far behind them. I was smiling the entire game. Wiggins is a fit, the fast pace with the young players will prepare them for next year and the style the Dubs want to play, Chriss was super, Ky protects the ball, delivers it and can beat most players off the dribble, Poole benefits from the faster pace and had a decent shooting game and finally as a group, all the Dubs competed on defense. Fun stuff.....look out NBA.

Anthony Gray

Yo!!!! I was hyped to see that kid Zach Norvell on the squad. We better sign him, he can shoot. He gave the fully loaded warriors (minus Klay) a problem in preseason and dropped 29. The Lakers couldn't sign him because of their previous commitments but I think he's the next Kendrick Nunn type g-league prospect, we better not lose him!

Anthony Gray

yeah I'm so happy Sky Bowman is back. He was playing so well with us before he got sent down to the G league and plays so much better without D'angelo.

that kobe jersey is a mitchell and ness collection jersey. they made hella throwback jerseys but instead of white it’s gold

Keith Waters

i really like this wiggins trade bro. i think he can develop more and become a great asset to the team. LOVE bowmans game too. with this pace and steph and klay on the floor its gonna be a fireworks convention. also, great game. i still hate how mark jackson was talking all that shit during the review lol.

Paradox

Lakers fans would have been on suicide watch if we won this and we almost did if it weren't for them shooting abnormally well. Still laughing my ass off at people that thought Wiggins was a worse defender than DLo. He was clamping everyone and had 5 steals. Chriss and Wiggins both shot 80% TS, that's amazing. You right about the fast pace. Even KD hurt us sometimes when he casually strolled over to half court, which is NOT the way Curry and Draymond wants to play. We lost our 2016 identity when we were not able to push like we did. Kings are doing a lot worse this season for a similar reason, they've had some big injuries but alao play much slower.

Jason Williams

If Wiggins can come with this kind of energy every night then I think we won the trade. Yeah, Norvell Jr. was definitely brought in there for a reason. They didn't even use Damion at the end of the 4th quarter. Do you think that they brought Norvell in to spark up Poole as well? Poole was pretty efficient last night but like you said it might be due to quicker pace of the team now. You mentioned that Bradley. AD got chipped up as well. I'm wondering if these guys hold up at by the end of the season.

Luke Zhang

This Wiggins trade really re-energized my interest in the season and seems like it’s done the same for the young squad. DLo was saucy but pace already looks a lot better with Wiggins in there

Our development staff has been trashed on a lot with many new guys not really panning out. This year, I think we can say they are doing some things differently. A lot of improvement with the young guys. So excited for the rest of the season. Keep it up Alch !

Owen Salisbury

If they weren't offering picks, I wouldn't have taken it, either. But that doesn't mean I'd have taken Wiggins, either. Sigh. :/

Paul Byun

Alc, apparently Wiggins was known as a defensive hawk before he was drafted. Maybe he can get back to that level.

Branden Edwards

The Magic were offering AG for Dlo and Myers turned it down.

Athletic Alchemy

great point! When the lights are bright, thats how they are all ultimately judged.

Athletic Alchemy

You are going to come around on it....

Thomas Ogas

Feels odd to complain about Wiggin's "motor" when we're watching Anthony Davis only play at 60% and have seen plenty of games where Draymond or Andre were taking the night off. The test is going to be how he plays during meaningful games. Until that happens, I just want to see him mentally engaged and making an effort to fit in our system. The guy clearly has all of the physical gifts and ability so we know he can succeed. He's playing with a lot of hungry, young, positive guys who are all excited to play basketball and are all pushing each other to succeed. We've got some great player development coaches and have heavily invested in our youth. He's in a very good environment for success.

Graham Ramiza

SMAGIC JOHNSON!!!!!

Spence

super fun, no complaints, i was giddy the entire game! The combo athleticism of Chriss' jams and Ky's shockingly springy leap is so fun. I straight jump up each time they do something.

José Francisco

I was very upset with the trade, but watching Wiggins engaged, defending and buying into the system started to change my mind. I really hope he keeps this up and adds some muscle. He also needs to improve his passing, help defense, and off ball movement, but overall I'm just excited to see how things develop

Athletic Alchemy

I m with you!

Athletic Alchemy

I think he is going to buy in

Athletic Alchemy

we gonna have some fun these final 30

Athletic Alchemy

I think we are in for some shows!

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah I see it..I was thinking let me give him a few games before I go at his looks

KendrickTheCreative

I died at that !

Ken Bradford

Maaan how many games does Wiggins have to show effort for me not to worry about his motor anymore ? Great start tho was kinda concerned about the entertainment factor of warriors games after the deadline but this one was great

Roman Wong

Is it just me or does Jerermy Pargo look like Pat Bev from the side?

Calum Stapleton

an old carpet that's had too much foot traffic :D

Edward Zeng

Exciting times ahead DubNation

tomas klappen

I dont know alch... im excited AF about this team.

William Mitchell

I have my Doubts on Wiggins. He has consistency issues. But as long as he is willing to play within the system and compete defensively, I'll give him a chance.

Tony Stark

damn i missed the game but noti gang 😩
