holy shit im so glad I came back to watch this one just to catch "Horchata Forever" ahahaha Im dying man

Aidan Willner

Alch that Quinn Snyder Gotham comment was pure gold. Holy shit his fucking scowl makes him a wannabe penguin.

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽 I love doing it!

my god alch, one of my favorite things about your videos is how every single time the dubs play the jazz, you sneak in some gold on quin snyder. keep up the great work

It’s truly a funny thing in basketball: i’d rather watch a team having fun and playing balls-out but loses than a really good team that plays mediocre and wins. I hope people can start to talk about this in terms of what’s truly valuable in basketball and team sports. This whole crazy over-emphasis on winning championships has got to end.

Athletic Alchemy

It could be a team that loses a big for the year... say Gobert or Capela go down. Obviously got to be a contender.

Athletic Alchemy

💪🏽

Athletic Alchemy

It’s going to be tough, I don’t think there is going to be a decisive gap between all the top prospects. But as we know there will be in hindsight.

Athletic Alchemy

Might have to! His ability to fit thru the cracks of the defense is crazy

Athletic Alchemy

Bows aggression offensively has been up and down. But when he chooses to be it’s been pretty consistently efficient.

Stevie Ray

At the moment I don't see anyone giving up a second for him at the moment. Need him to at least get some numbers so somebody who haven't really been watching can pick him up at the deadline when they're desperate.

Stevie Ray

Westbrook's 3 at the end of the 4th is all you need to see. Same thing as in the playoffs next to PG-13 last year, he can contain himself and play Robin for 3 quarters, but when it comes down to the end, he straight can't help himself. Down 1 with 15 seconds and you have James Harden, who has been living at the line next to you, and you take a pull up jumper from behind the arc with 5 seconds on the clock.

Major Powers

Gotta love Westbrook's 3 at the end tho. Everyone on planet Earth knew he shouldn't shoot that but him.

Major Powers

Do we start calling him Alec "The Snake" Burks?

Anthony Gray

I'm with you on Twin towers lineup. It has helped defensively tremendously. When Loon comes back, starting lineup should be [WCS, Loon, Dray, Robinson, Burks]. Bring Paschall off bench, with Spell and Chriss. We need the size. It's helped our defensive a lot. Ever since the boston game when we stopped messing around trying to start Jordan Poole at the two and went to a bigger lineup. Ky's shot may come and go but he is a keeper. The man is 22 and will improve, has the confidence, has the motor.

This was again one of those games that you hate to lose, but love to watch. You could just feel that the Warriors themselves werent taking the game too seriously. End of a road trip, coming off one of the worse losses in history, it all got pretty simple for them: have fun, play hard. Seeing them have that much fun fighting all the way back was pretty refreshing. We havent seem some "fun" Warriors ball in awhile. I like the rotation with the bigs right now. With Looney returning, I feel like Looney should play the 4 and keep the big rotation the same. Cauley Stein is JUST now waking up so if he starts to lose minutes, he'll just become an empty roster spot. But my main point here is having Chriss and Spellman come off the bench. The Twin Towers look has been great for them. The energy/athleticism/scrappiness those two bring together has been invaluable. And if Spellman keeps shooting like that, well shit. He easily couldve been a target off that last inbounds play instead of Burcs. Final thought. I guess Im finally coming around on Bowman. I havent been high on him this entire time cuz I still doubt his consistency. I want to see MORE of him on defense. Tonight was some of the best Ive seen but I feel like I havent seen enough yet. And his shooting seems to come and go. Im still not sold on him, but I would like him to stick around so that he can become an important role player. If he could morph into a PatBev type of dude and just bother the other guards with his quickness/hands that'll be helpful.

Jerry Heverly

I'm not sure it 'bodes well for when we get healthy again". When some of those guys come back it will probably hurt the performance of the Healthy Eight. What happens to Spellman when his minutes are sporadic? Same with Bowman. This Eight might actually be a better squad than the Looney/Draymond/Russell/Evans Warriors. More hustle, more ball movement, more camradarie, more team work with the present lineup. The Healthy 12 might win a few more games but I'll wager they also will get blown out more than the present guys who seem never to give up.

Thomas Ogas

I love the improvement I'm seeing from our young bigs. Spellman's motor is always hot and his outside shot is really good. Chriss has been averaging 2 blocks a game, has the best DFG% in the paint on the team (and near top of league), and he's really improved on offense. If Paschall is a "big", then we have an embarrassment of riches in the front court. Looney is damned good. Smagic has great upside. I'd hate to see us draft a center with our only Lottery Pick since we drafted H.Barnes. We need wings, badly. We have no youth there at all and can't just keep hoping to get by with minimum vet free agents.

Anthony Gray

I think we gotta let Willie learn the system and learn how to play smart defense. He has all the tools is young and is on the cheap. I think we will need his size. Spell, Looney, and Chriss are all power forwards. Willie is the only true center. It pains me to say but I think we need him. So many seven footers around the league. Big men making a comeback we need ours until something better comes along. But I do agree we are getting a log jam for our bigs. We need to start playing two at a time as they have been.

Mitch Moyers

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed the Warriors losing games before like this. Great take, Alch!

Edward Zeng

Can we get rid of WCS for like a second and keep Ky Bowman? With how Chriss and Spellman are producing,when Loon comes back it’s just too many big guys.

Athletic Alchemy

Believe me! I’d love to just be able pop m out!

bereket legesse

heard you.

Athletic Alchemy

Its not something I can just do real quick. The process of watching the game taking notes and doing the breakdown is like 6-7 hrs.. Im have some big game breakdowns soon, Dubs have played 3 B2B in one moth.

bereket legesse

Tough as usual. Can we get that clippers rockets breakdown?

Athletic Alchemy

for sure , they deserve some credit for executing the strategy. I would probably of leaned the other way and let Rudy have all he wanted and stuck to the shooters. But aye they gave themselves chance to steal one!

Athletic Alchemy

he has lost like over 70lbs since the summer! I think he could potentially be your first big off the bench on a contender.

Steven Stanley

Nobody in Utah swears at their gandkids they just quote the book of Mormon at em.

Steven Stanley

Good bounce back game by the hateful 8. I look forward to the day towards the end of the season, when the all stars have returned and we roll into the town of a western conference foe battling for seeding and/or a playoff spot and the remaining members of the hateful 8 still on the roster to exact some revenge (with the tune "how ya like me now" beating in the background). DALLAS YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST. Good shooting Spellman, Nice shooting GRob, good all around game Ky, Burks doing what he does, Gobert 3/8 8 points hat tip WCS/Spellman?Chriss.

Anthony Gray

Nah I think that would be Kendrick Nunn. Ky has been great tho.

Vittorio Servino

Spellman has been a nice surprise for me. He looks like he is trying to shed some pounds as well. Could be a mini Barkley type player (that’s a reach but hey why not)

Athletic Alchemy

Kerr is enjoying himself as well! Steph is going to be hard to keep from coming back this year I think. Klay we need to just tell him no.

thomas

I love seeing the team all laughing and joking before the game. Even though there's no pressure, it probably gets demoralizing losing time after time. I think Kerr and his staff have done a great job keeping them focused on the right things and building chemistry. I hope Steph and Klay stay present during their injuries, that'll be important once it's time to reintegrate them into the lineups.

Branden Edwards

First round rookies get guaranteed contracts, so Poole can't be given a 2 way.

Branden Edwards

The way Burks is playing he's going to get priced out of what GS can pay him. Since he's on a 1 year deal it's almost a guarantee he gets moved at the deadline to a contender so we can capitalize on his valur

Branden Edwards

The worse our record is the better our draft spot is. And if we finish in the top 10 (we won't) our 2020 first round pick goes to Brooklyn

Branden Edwards

Can an undrafted rookie be the steal of the draft? Because if so, Ky Bowman might be it.

What did you mean at the end when you said, "We don't want to win too many games" ?? That threw me off, and I'm still scratching my head. Also, why doesn't Dramyond drive to the hoop a LOT more and make more baskets for us? He has the talent and physicality. And opponents know he almost always passes the ball (and makes an occasional three). Seems to me that's just lousy, lazy playing … especially with Steph and Clay and D'Lo sidelined with injuries. Is that on him, or Kerr, or both ??

Anthony Gray

Alc, also you keep talking like Burks is gonna get dropped off. You don't think we can bring him back next year?

Nobody likes a soft willie 😂 you’re good for one of those a video

Anthony Gray

Can we put Jordan Poole on a 2-way deal instead of Ky??? Also I'm hearing rumblings that we should get rid of Willie? With Looney returning the front court depth is looking good. What you think Alc. I think we need Willie's height. He didn't play well but he needs a battery in his back, queue Draymond

Thomas Joseph

Lol true shit at this point we definitely gotta secure that top 3

Athletic Alchemy

Kerr can take notice, basic PnR ball and less turnovers.

Athletic Alchemy

Love Ky's football mentality...your right JP is at least getting to the rim....

Kahlil Baker

It’s amazing that we got more shots up, and less turnovers. They did a great job last night. Every game they get better and it’s great to see! I can’t wait till we are at full health again.

Tre

Even though we're losing its fun watching these young guys go out there and play their hearts out! Spelly getting buckets and Ky showing the bunnies hype me up! JP is gonna figure it out..his drives to the basket look good and his ability to create for others and distribute have also looked good. If he can just focus on that portion of his game right now the shot will eventually fall more consistently after he's gotten a bounce and flow going.

Athletic Alchemy

tell you what, maybe its a good thing Poole has to play. or they might F around and win too many games to secure a top 3 spot.

Thomas Joseph

Not only a couple players with 5 assists what about 7 players in double figures? I liked the effort all night and you're right they're having fun not worried about the scoreboard
