Late on this breakdown but 20.5 savage🤣🤣

Ruben Valce

He was great in an isolated pick and pop earlier in the season. That was like six games? Just like Jaymike...next!

decomplexify5000

Its also super worrying that #30 seems to have lost that lightning trigger

Sean An

Play by play always gold alc. why the fuck every team do zone against blazers and its always us that struggle? The size?

Sean An

The craziest fact about this team I’ve seen this week is that we have the 4th best record in the league since the beginning of the year.. I like the future because the 2 timelines thing seems to be working out

Offtopic K

I think the video name matches the team that showed up to the game 🤣

Legendary Snipper

indeed, I thought he had been leaving early to with his feet from 3. I notice for myself if I am off, it usually do to a sped up release.

Athletic Alchemy

when podz shoots now it's no longer a snake bite like he used to earlier this season. it's more of a regular one motion, hold your follow through typa shot

ChizzyTheKid

Let's go warriors!!!

Strong Foru

Keep wondering where we'd be if Kerr just listened to the entire fan base, and played TJD like this earlier. Remember the saric shit first half of the season...

Vulacior

I'm hoping we don't need either of them in the playoffs, Dario gets cooked under the basket, and he's too slow to either close out to the 3-pt line or do anything in transition. Gui wasn't given enough reps to be someone Kerr will call on in the playoffs. I'd be surprised to see either of them, barring injuries.

Neal X

saw kerr pull steph & then that 3 guard lineup. was scared lol -but they pulled through

Mikey H

@Neal X - yeah, not sure. AD is hit or miss offensively, think TJD could hold up on him. Bam is tricky, he seems to always be a big plus out there & real good decision maker. Think it depends on how the rest of the heat is lookin. Jokic is Jokic. Don't think there's many out there to slow him down. The players around him all have big strengths & knows how to capitalize on them

Mikey H

I think sabonis is one of the most overrated/overpaid players in the league. What does he do? he bullies people & DHOs? He can't defend. ok at shooting. can't shoot a 3 ball. I think TJD can def get there offensively. He's just an all around good player. If TJD could be up there w Bam defensively, that would be somethin

Mikey H

TJD is much more athletic than Sabonis, more switchable, not as strong..yet.., and TJD needs to start shooting from the dotted. Just give me a 6-9 footer. Bam has that mid range that he kills teams with. Bam went 14th in 2017 (a steal). Sabonis went 16 in 2016 (solid pick) TJD fell to us because he doesn't shoot, and I think he develops a shot from inside the key in a year or two, but then Loon always had that and they never used it.... And just compare how well he sets picks, rolls perfectly, finishes well, blocks shots, has awesome hands, blocks out, fights for rebounds, plays great D, passes well, and is just strong physically and mentally. I love the guy. I'll say this just for fun. Every single thing I just mentioned were absolutely impossible for Wiseman to do, and that SOB costs us a number 2!!.

Russ

I was getting nervous watching this one. Glad they pulled it out.

Windfury

all good I see his point.. the edit made it seem like literally 2 seconds. I just couldn't believe he was sitting him. What if there was no timeout and they had a little 2 min run, he'd be getting killed today. no harm no foul

Athletic Alchemy

I was joking Alch, you do nothing wrong in my eyes!

Becky Lafrenz

What would last year’s team have been if Steph & Wiggs were both active all year? Goes both ways…

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

The Ayton-Wiggins comp is perfect. If the Suns had pulled it off in 2021, he’d be exactly the same - frustrating, but you’d still have to put some weird respect on his name cause of “that one time…”

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

yall I still have the game in my timeline, he sits steph with loon at the line, they inbound move into the front court. time out. and he is back in after the commercial. Maybe he didn't anticipate the timeout and was trying to get him a quick rest. Doing it before the time out bought him literally a few seconds

Athletic Alchemy

Is there some rule that as long as the ball has left the hand there's never a foul even if you hack the shit out of them? Because that's how they call it for Steph.

Neal X

idk if TJD will be a sabonis, sabonis has that bottom heavy strength that lets him back people down, but also makes him a non existent shot blocker. Agree with the bam comp though especially in a few years

MaxShade18

Thanks for correcting that exaggeration, I was worried bout that time being wrong.

Becky Lafrenz

Yeah glad Alch answered my question from last video with those comments. I honestly would take him over Sabonis. The question I have is, can TJD move the needle if you put him on someone like Jokic, or AD? Or Bam? We would still need a "true" big for that, no?

Neal X

wrong...he would of rested during the timeout anyway

Athletic Alchemy

Kerr sat steph because he anticipated the blazers timeout after the freethows. He literary bought steph 2 minutes, and not the exaggerated number you gave.

andrew ian scott

I think Dario is slightly better on defense than Gui at this point, and a more proven 3 point shooter. Gui jumps at everything, at least Dario is more fundamental. If we needed one of them in the playoffs, I think we need Dario's shooting more than Gui's hustle

Kevin Weng

Honestly facts, we had things just go so wrong this season when it genuinely could’ve been really good

Aben

I think a bam light isn’t a crazy thing, will he be as good… probably not but maybe a worse version is still incredible defensive player

Aben

It could have been a 50 win season if Draymond and wigs played

Jello Smooth

They literally gave Steph that EXACT call (getting fouled on the 3 pointer like 3 mins into the game) last game. Not last night though. Zero consistency

Ryan

I like your TJD comp, I'd say he'll probably be a little worse than Sabonis on offense and a little worse than Bam on defense, but when you put that together that's a hell of a player. Sabonis seems more willing to put his back to the basket and score, although ik TJD has that in his bag from his Indiana days, and he's a rook playing a role with us. And then I think Bam is slightly more switchable, but TJD's perimeter D has been a revelation.

Luke Zhang

Honestly if you put this team into last years west I find it hard for someone to convince me that we aren’t a 50 win team. Prolly could’ve had a 50 win season this year if Kerr didn’t hold out the young guys like he did.

Aben

And the usual cheap and soft and-1 foul while he was under the rim. I rolled my eyes when Alch said "he's not up to game speed", I mean, is he EVER?

Neal X

I think you were too soft on Steph here. First 3 quarters he didn't want to be here, and in 4th decided to turn the boosters on a bit as he saw the team is just incapable of doing it without him on this night.. but still a lazy performance from him

Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk

Defense shut them down in the 4th after they looked like they were about to pull away

BruceWayne

its ridiculous considering his attributes, he should thrive. You see JK adding layer after layer to his transition skills

Athletic Alchemy

Is it tho.. Im not saying he will have all their good attributes and none of their bad. But he seems to be of that Archetype

Athletic Alchemy

Glad you agreed with me that this was a Gui game, you need a big hustle player out there against a team like Portland. Kerr will just never trust a guy like Gui when so many vets are sitting, his mentality is "I must use the vets I DO have", and I'm sure some of that comes from keeping vet egos happy. I should just be glad we didn't see the "Doony" lineup again. Also, goddamn, if JK took himself out with a nasty fall right before the playoffs, I'd say trade his ass out of sheer anger, lol.

Neal X

Wiggins in transition never seems to have a plan, he just kinda goes and then it's "Oh, shit!" :D :D

Sander Sokk

This was a solid, gritty win, leaning on our youth (and then Steph) to get us the W. This is a game we wouldn't have come back in earlier in the season. We really are a different team, and are gonna punch way above our 47ish win, 9th seed record.

John Pettus

Dario with a consistent zero points last night. Gui deserved those minutes for sure.

decomplexify5000

I love Trayce Alc but cross between Bam and Sabonis is insane 😂
