I should be designing a website rn but instead I'm catching up on this breakdown. Good stuff.

shiiiiieeeeet! Looks like it! I have faith in his character tho, he will leave it on the floor when push comes to shove in May and June.

Yo Alch, gonna need your thoughts on this: <a href="https://twitter.com/nbcswarriors/status/1067851071257628673?s=21" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/nbcswarriors/status/1067851071257628673?s=21</a>

Hopefully JB can be like a Kenneth Faried type of guy

I'm glad you destroyed Jones here. I've been saying it for weeks. He has no business being in an NBA arena. I cannot stand watching this dude on my TV. Makes me sick. People gotta know that the reason Draymond is so endearing to Warrior fans and the reason he gets cheered for the loudest at Oracle is bc he gives everything he has on that floor. He can airball 10 3's in a game and we'll still cheer every play he makes. He's inspiring and the fans see themselves in him. He literally nearly cost the franchise it's future with KD and we still got his back lol. It's why guys like Jerebko and Looney and Mckinnie are fan favorites too. Damian Jones has got none of that. I watched the TOR-MEM game tonight and the TOR offense is legit. Especially when they got Kawhi, Lowry, and Vanvleet all on the floor together. Lots of playmakers and shooters. Now that Draymond is confirmed out, it's gonna be super tough to win that game. TOR is legit.

great observations on this one, alch! really glad you pointed out the way iguodala anticipates for the strip. great insight into his talents.

What can they do with DJ? I'm not optimistic, but I said the same thing about Looney this time last year.

Athletic Alchemy

Thats a real coaching term right there! 😉

Kerr said DJ is getting the minutes now because loon and bell have played in bug games and have experience, so he's trying to build that up in DJ because he doesn't really have many nba minutes.

You’re so nice to call DJ “slow processing”, that dude is just plane dumb to me 😂 I don’t like calling people that, especially athletes but idk how else to explain the way he plays lol. Do you know how bad you gotta be to look bad playing on this team?

Keith Waters

maannnn great video alch!! couldn't tell y'all how loud I was yelling at my screen when Damian turned around with the ball in front of kd staring at him like a baby who just dumped his diaper... great win for the dubs... great performance by kd.

Athletic Alchemy

He will always and for ever be s energy garbage man. But can he become a great one!?

Athletic Alchemy

Fitz sarcasm is just terrible! If you got to spell it out, it defeats the purpose.

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks! Great games are inspiring!

Uh, huh huh huh. You said "real". Then you said "life". Huh huh huh

They help with soreness/tightness I believe. They're these suction cup devices that help with blood flow. Faster recovery. Might not be 100% correct but I think that's what they're for.

Keith Waters

do we know what the dark circles on vucevic and fourniers shoulders are?

SunniDaZambi

Santa Cruz Warrior All-Star TBH.

Thomas Ogas

Damn, Alch! This is your best recap of the season!

Stevie Ray

Felt like a playoff game with the intensity. Btw Gordon was out for the second half with lower back tightness

Steven Stanley

DJ belongs in Santa Cruz

I also noticed when JB was critical of Bell during that TO as he was like "YOU GOTTA CATCH THE BALL THERE!" but he's not as critical about Jones. Btw, did you catch the shade in the 1st half (I think 2nd q?) when Fitz was saying Harden had a triple-double cuz of his TOs? JB was confused for a sec (he thought Fitz was being serious) until he realized his partner was really throwing shade lmao

Kahlil Baker

I don’t believe Klay fell asleep on that one play. I feel like dude ran into the arm Klay was going to contest with.

brian

It is so frustrating watching Damian Jones play. Definitely agree with you that he will not play in the NBA very long

YANCEY WADE

Quin Cook 6 rebounds, Damian Jones 4 rebounds. Cmon night after night the smallest dude on the team out rebounding the the tallest?

YANCEY WADE

Jonathan Simmons aka John Wall's sober cousin. Classic Alchemy.

SunniDaZambi

I like said last game I got NO FAITH in Jones! And yes Kerr is absolutely stunting Bell's growth but I'm not just gonna blame Kerr it's the FO fault too, they're stunting Bell who's their highest ceiling young player for DJ who hasn't improved in three season simply because he was drafted in the 1st round and they're too proud to admit that they got it wrong.

SunniDaZambi

Yeah, I really love the Bell/Jerebko front court, it's my go to lineup off the bench in 2k lol.

Walter Kim

Hahahahahaha. "I take it back!".

YANCEY WADE

Slim reaper mode

YANCEY WADE

Nah, Warriors earned that W. The champs didn't roll over.

YANCEY WADE

I really like Quin Cook's assists, either to shooters or for the dunk. He passes with a soft touch right in stride and flow. Curry's absence has helped Cook's game and confidence.

Paradox

Feel a bit bad for the Magic, they kinda got robbed more than we did in this game and that shifted the momentum.

Man did I love the end to that game.KD was in Kobe assasin mode. Draymond was like ' didn't mean any of the stuff I said bruh, we still cool bruh' 😂😂😂😂😂😂

thatmattc

Maybe trying to keep Bell healthy for the late season and playoffs? Only reason I see why Damian consistently gets more minutes than Bell.

Chris Williams

once i saw that kd block and iguodala jumper i felt it was pretty much guaranteed comeback and at least competitive finish. im loving these close games too, but im guessing the players mostly hate them. fatigue ~= injury. give bell more minutes! dude takes bait too much but i feel like he learns quickly and takes criticism well. much much higher ceiling than jones.

Tre

Bell was looking good out there from what I saw.. came in and facilitated pretty well and brought good energy. Still a lot of work to do but i think he will get there.
