def think its a better team this year & they got a much needed assistant coach upgrade. I haven't been able to watch the games but def curious about defense & this kerr 'wanting to simplify the offense' thing. Seems like he says that alot tho

2024-10-11 20:31:21 +0000 UTCDisappointed in Quentin post. Looked real shaky out there

2024-10-11 19:12:17 +0000 UTCThe warriors are looking good I still kept looking for klay Thompson though I guess it'll take a while to get used to his absence otherwise I'm looking forward to the season!

2024-10-11 17:45:34 +0000 UTCOnly 2 things worry me offensively: 1. We need to set better screens for Steph, especially our younger guys 2. Worried about our starting 5 again. We still don’t know who will start outside of Steph, Draymond and Wiggins/JK

2024-10-11 12:49:41 +0000 UTCIn this 3 ball era, no premier defense is reliable, as long as we rebound well and makes more 3s than opponents, we have higher chance to win. Our 3 pt shooting will be elite this year, next important thing is rebounding. As long as everyone gets on the board, we can beat anyone

2024-10-11 11:19:56 +0000 UTCWithout Klay and the offense is just so smooth and efficient

2024-10-11 11:08:19 +0000 UTCMurray's got a too cool for school vibe even tho he looks like a pikmin

2024-10-11 06:07:26 +0000 UTCSteph, Melton, Wiggs should be our starting/closing 1-3. FC with Dray, JK, TJD, Loon should round it out nicely
Abhi Kelkar
2024-10-11 06:06:40 +0000 UTCI saw the potential with our new look -- our defense is still a big question, as is our size. We need Wiggs back (I mean, really BACK), Podz in the 2nd unit, and maybe picking up a true big physical body later on in the season for emergencies (if Post can't be that) and I think we're right there.

2024-10-11 01:46:20 +0000 UTCthis mad science experiment might just yield something..

2024-10-11 00:54:34 +0000 UTCIt's time to wean off Looney. It's more fair to cultivate or younger talent who have higher ceilings and more offense. IMO, as long as we continue to start him, the less dimension we have to score.

2024-10-11 00:49:53 +0000 UTCWorse - JK has become a REAL ball-stopper. I'm worried JK is going to Aiyuk us this year, with weird-ass off-court antics and only caring about himself.

2024-10-10 22:48:40 +0000 UTCThat's not a small ask. Not THAT many 40% 3P shooters in the league.

2024-10-10 22:46:58 +0000 UTCI was at that game last night and boy let me tell you they were booing the shit out Buddy Hield at almost the same levels they'd boo Draymond at the end of it all the Queens Chambers known as Golden 1 Center had all its energy depleted and was a shell of itself by the end of the game.

2024-10-10 22:24:35 +0000 UTCThings that had me hopeful: TJD’s defense, in the 2nd quarter especially, Pod’s overall facilitation but especially in the 3rd quarter. To me he was the star of the game. The way that Podz and GP2 and Spencer move the ball, an underrated attribute. Too many of these guys sit on the ball like a goose trying to hatch an egg. Things that make me return to earth: Defense Lack of size turnovers Your comment to me for Clippers game: Buddy will have his nights where he hits 6-7 3s and that should keep his vibes up Buddy’s results last night…….6-7. The Alchemy crystal ball is working fine.

2024-10-10 21:49:49 +0000 UTCits Harden Rockets blue print, crazy 3 point shooting and versatile defenders

Athletic Alchemy
2024-10-10 21:48:01 +0000 UTCnah no doubt there are going to be nights where it will be Fitz " If they could just buy a basket" but that's part of the deal. They are banking on having more hot nights than cold, hopefully with JK and Trayce keeping teams honest at the rim

2024-10-10 21:47:36 +0000 UTCwell said
Athletic Alchemy
2024-10-10 21:46:00 +0000 UTCIt's the time of the year where its fine to be overly optimistic. But yes the 5 spot is still not solidified
Athletic Alchemy
2024-10-10 21:45:45 +0000 UTCits only natural lol

2024-10-10 21:44:16 +0000 UTC💯. been waiting

2024-10-10 21:28:57 +0000 UTCPoint Podz looking good. Hes winging it out there offensively but cant deny dude facilitates his ass off. Off rip, from roster construction to the small on court samples we’ve seen, it’s looking to be a lot more of a positive season than it was last year. Melton got great energy. Buddy hitting ✅for now, I wanna see him sustain tho. If JK can max out these catch and shoot 3s then we’re in good shape. Movement jumpers from JK and 8-10 3s from BP might be giving the wrong shots to the wrong guys tho.
sleeve nash
2024-10-10 21:26:19 +0000 UTCLuka Podz was pretty interesting
yan't get right
2024-10-10 20:31:01 +0000 UTCI've been not fuckin with kings fans for a while now tbh. Ran into my fair share of nasty fans in the bay fairly recently
Andrew Lee
2024-10-10 20:30:56 +0000 UTCRegarding the "viral" clip of Murray "clamping" Steph. Have you ever seen THIS MUCH little bro energy from a team before??? The definition of "try-hard" lol. Like okay credit to Murray for moving his feet. But the Sac crowd and the whole team treated that like Murray did that in game 7 of a playoff game.

2024-10-10 20:02:27 +0000 UTCIf Kuminga can give us 40% on 4-5 attempts this year then we might be on to something
Offtopic K
2024-10-10 19:53:11 +0000 UTCPeople are really overreacting to this performance and thinking its suddenly solved all our problems. Really???? Ya'll expecting us to shoot and MAKE 25+ threes a game? This was a sick performance, dont get me wrong. But this was an outlier of a night and will NOT be the norm. The kings weren't defending the 3 very well. What does our offense look like when everyone's cold? I didnt see a lot of good looks from 2 and we werent breaking the paint enough for my liking. A couple other things: 1) Im still severely annoyed at TJD's inability and refusal to use 1 hand to dunk/attack the rim unless its a lob. He's gonna keep getting stuffed or stripped doing that or WORSE, gonna get himself injured. 2) Melton is probably the best free agent signing we've had in the last 5 years. I hope he stays healthy and in rhythm cuz I think he will be a key piece to this teams success. 3) Seeing Kuminga take no hesitation threes was nice, but I need to see more from him driving and distributing. He seemed pretty one dimensional last night. 4) Podz is a decent flopper hahaha. Guess that 1 year with CP3 taught him well xD
Jansen E
2024-10-10 19:51:35 +0000 UTCI like the simplicity of the new guys so far. Klay was just making it too complicated, with buddy melton everything look simple. Klay is a legend but i hope its addition by subtracting with klay. Still would like to make a move cuz we know kerr aint gon play all these guys as much as they deserve lol
hugojimcam
2024-10-10 19:36:55 +0000 UTCTotally agree. Without a true (and proven) center, we are a play-in team.
Valantur
2024-10-10 19:32:18 +0000 UTCThe shooting was exciting - but was it fool's gold? Did you catch the Mike Brown interview at the top of the 4th quarter? "We're not guarding the 3 ball at all - we've got to fix that" And then they didn't drop nearly as often in the 4th. What do you think Alch? I guess we find out when we play Boston
Daniel Fries
2024-10-10 19:29:23 +0000 UTCIt's constantly crowded in there. I'm interested to see how paint work develops in the early part of the season. What we know is that you can't be one dimensional if you want to succeed at the highest level. Even if your 1 dimension is good. Even if we become a great shooting team collectively, if we can't generate quality paint shots and free throws our playoff ceiling will be low.
Jarell Greer
2024-10-10 19:28:09 +0000 UTCMissed you and your astute crew, Alch. Mucho dig, especially the icing, the drunk guy wedding dance.
Chip Tingle
2024-10-10 19:18:04 +0000 UTC& tougher to get to the line because of this, I agree. I thought JK & TJD would have more paint impact.
Chip Tingle
2024-10-10 19:15:56 +0000 UTCLast year we were 7th in 3-point % at 38% and 2nd in 3-pointers made (behind Boston's prolific 3 point shooting). I think this team has a chance to top the league in 3-pointers made this year. If our defensive rating improves as well, this team is going to be much better. Once opponents begin selling out on having to defend the 3, it's going to create more open looks at the rim.

2024-10-10 18:59:03 +0000 UTCLindy Waters, welcome to the bay! I am sold. Also think the Olympics had a good impact on Gui, you can see he has some big boy hussle now. I'm getting excited!!
Allison Hendrix
2024-10-10 18:56:26 +0000 UTCtbf I think that was the gameplan, there were plenty of spots where they purposely opted for 3s over drives. I agree that it's prone to a ton of shot variance though
Billy Roberson
2024-10-10 18:50:06 +0000 UTCSo nice to have BALL again, and the great analysis you provide Alch.
Anthony Berry
2024-10-10 18:43:59 +0000 UTCBut how long is he gonna be on and is that worth taking minutes from Moody, JK, slowmo, etc.
Steven Jones
2024-10-10 18:38:43 +0000 UTCThe shooting was great and fun. But what stood out to me was that it seemed like they HAD to shoot that much because of how congested the paint and floor was in general. To my eye after the 1st 2 games, it looks like we are going to struggle to score in the paint. Having Wiggs in there will help. But I think this is going to be a real problem this year.
Jarell Greer
2024-10-10 18:38:26 +0000 UTCWe need Wiggins to appear and show us what he's gonna be on this year
John
2024-10-10 18:36:54 +0000 UTCSeeing how some of these lineups and rotations have looked, are you concerned about adding Wiggs back into the rotation?
Steven Jones
2024-10-10 18:32:54 +0000 UTCDamn, we gotta lot of good shooters man.
Kenny Bobby
2024-10-10 18:29:36 +0000 UTCthe warriors have the worst center rotation in the league.If you subtract dray from the equation.I would kill for a claxton or isaiah hartenstein.
mr.bean
2024-10-10 18:28:57 +0000 UTCi liked our shooting but i didn’t like how one dimensional our attack was, we didn’t generate anything other than 3pt shots
Aben
2024-10-10 18:28:08 +0000 UTCThink we are probably gonna see steph,wiggins,kuminga,dray,center friday.Lowkey excited
mr.bean
2024-10-10 18:25:44 +0000 UTCThanks unc
