2022-05-03 19:46:23 +0000 UTCa;c your right, it doesn't matter what either one of us picks to win a game of a series. i just find it interesting that the last series with Denver you picked Nuggets because of our lack of size. this series you are leaning towards Memphis because of once again size and our age vs their age and athleticism. No joke the grizz drip with swag and pride, but i think we showed in the first game, or GPII showed a little splash, "watch your head boi", that we got it going on, KUMINGA will be key for us. i was nervous as heck, but i feel a little better coming into game 2. be blessed and safe

2022-05-03 15:45:49 +0000 UTCIn what sport nowadays are the officials barred from using replay to get a call right? Only the NBA. GP2 REPEATEDLY got the Warriors extra possessions, yet when he got the most impactful of all the refs put on their blinders and refused to make a call on the out of bounds on Klay’s free throw. Early in the game Kerr instructed GP2 to back off Ja, meet him at the circle, but on the last play he had him crowd him. It should have cost the Warriors the game. Ja makes that shot 80% of the time. Thank goodness Ja made those first three’s. It set the tone for the Grizzlies and drew them away from the paint. They won’t make that mistake again.

2022-05-03 15:04:42 +0000 UTCbest thing from this whole video for me as a lakers fan was Ja telling kuminga, HE CAN'T GUARD ME!!!!!!!! haha I LOVE IT
Bereket Berhanu
2022-05-03 13:34:31 +0000 UTCThis breakdown matches the intensity of the game!! Insightful explanation of how Ja's route got changed on that last play. Probably the reason he missed that shot he makes a thousand times.
Francisco Hazel
2022-05-03 11:43:32 +0000 UTCFirst one was a coach challenge and the last one was within the last 2 minutes and refs are not allowed to review that anymore. I assume they have that new rule to speed up the end
Ken Bradford
2022-05-03 10:58:07 +0000 UTCHe's been defending Ja well all game.

Alex deB
2022-05-03 07:32:22 +0000 UTCOr in the case where the refs are unable to make a call either way, which was the case at the end of this game. It's the only logical, reasonable outcome in that situation.

Julian
2022-05-03 04:53:29 +0000 UTCThank you for that intro Alch! I think winning predictions have thirsted into too much clout chasing these days for my taste... Yes. You're right! In the end no one truly "knows" the outcome before it occurs. But as a fan of the sport and the Dubs, I'm hard wired to find and send positive energy their way. After all, that's why I subscribe to you lol. Keep up the good work fam. Appreciate your takes.

2022-05-03 02:46:34 +0000 UTCBrooks, ja and jjj. Is it the team with the ugliest shooting forms?
Andreas Wiedemann
2022-05-03 02:30:46 +0000 UTCYep agreed.
Russ
2022-05-03 01:57:54 +0000 UTCI love how Klay has found out how to defend Ja drives. Philippines above saw it too. What Klay has figured out is don't jump up as Ja will just go beyond you. You back up and extend and reach out low as thats where he lets his scoop shots go from. Klay wasn't team USA's Defensive stopper for nothing!
Russ
2022-05-03 01:57:06 +0000 UTCGuarantee the NBA front office was all over the refs. NBA playoff games are about fierce competition, but, lets be honest, they are also about ratings. You don't throw out a star players, unless it is something over the top egregious. It worked in our favor though because it has to be a blow to the psyche of this young Grizz team that we beat them without Draymond, no Iggy to fill that role, with Ja hitting 4 3's, Jaren Jackson going for 33/10 and no foul trouble, with Klay and Steph having pedestrian games, every call going their way, 90% Klay clanking 2 game icing free throws, or at least would have forced them to take a 3, and getting the ball with 4.8 seconds left after Klay clanked the FT's that clearly should have been W's ball. Honestly, it felt like it was going to be a heartbreaking last shot Dubs loss. But we stole one on the road, which was our mission, and hurt the youngsters confidence in the process. I note that Jaren Jackson was a problem, but he is often a foul waiting to happen. I would like to the see the Dubs maybe post up JK on him. Now Jackson will out class him right now, he's also taller too, but can't help but think JK could maybe hang a couple of fouls on him.

2022-05-03 01:43:23 +0000 UTCProud to say I was the one in the Draymond Green Jersey sitting on the court, left side. I wish you would have shown the Kuminga dunk, as I flexed hard and I think it was on the broadcast!
Ryan Farber
2022-05-03 01:15:12 +0000 UTCThat game clinching stop by Klay wasn't the first time that he defended it well. 1:23 Klay gets switched onto Morant. He defends it the same way he did in the end same result.
Xperiaplay Philippines
2022-05-03 00:51:14 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on Draymond doing all this media, whether it's his podcasts or being on TNT while his team his actively in the playoffs?
guni_800
2022-05-03 00:17:18 +0000 UTCFor replays it should be reviewable when there's no shot clock (under 24). But only out of bounds. And maybe only if the game is within 3?
Nathan Glanzer
2022-05-02 23:34:36 +0000 UTCI had to do some deep breathing exercises , my heart was POUNDING
Nathan Glanzer
2022-05-02 23:32:18 +0000 UTCI went from Grizz in 6 to Warriors in 7. Though stealing game 1 home court makes me think maybe Warriors in 6. The best part about being able to close in 6 means game 6 Klay unlocked and homecourt advantage unlocked. And they BETTER not come out with that Nuggets game 5 home court energy.
Jansen E
2022-05-02 23:31:59 +0000 UTCMight have been answered already but they looked at that out of bounds cause that was Memphis' Challenge

2022-05-02 23:29:53 +0000 UTCMe too. I went from Grizz in 7 to Warriors in 6.
John Pettus
2022-05-02 23:21:02 +0000 UTCthe NBA literally could have secuckus be the review people, speed shit up, be more accurate. Christ whats the point of having an entire agency that does nothing, they should be the arbiter. Great breakdown as always.

Mikey H
2022-05-02 23:13:12 +0000 UTCThis was THE WORST refereeing job I've ever seen in my life. That entire crew should be fired. This was way worse than Kings vs Lakers (which turned out to be fixed, lol).
A m a r Singg
2022-05-02 23:12:03 +0000 UTCOn that last play, before the inbounds, GP2 was setting up on the logo and Steph got off the bench to go tell GP2, what looked like, to pick up Ja in the back court. I like your analysis Alch on the advantage of picking him up back there. Gotta wonder if Ja would have made it if GP2 hadn't picked him up back there and we would have a totally different vibe going into game 2

KendrickTheCreative
2022-05-02 23:04:07 +0000 UTCI don’t think the Poole thing has much to do with steph missing. He just missing. We don’t know why but it’s very odd.
KendrickTheCreative
2022-05-02 23:01:55 +0000 UTCI hear you, but I think Bane and Brooks likely shoot better moving forward.
Chip Tingle
2022-05-02 23:00:15 +0000 UTC61st Street is a good new AMC find, too.
Chip Tingle
2022-05-02 22:57:50 +0000 UTCYou’re on your A game, Alch, especially the detailed ref points and psychological reaction from this special team. League/networks make more money on longer series between two top ratings grabbing teams, right? I’m not usually a conspiracy guy, but that was too many “mistakes” in one game.
Chip Tingle
2022-05-02 22:54:17 +0000 UTCThe league honestly has hated the Warriors ever since that 2015 finals, they hurt Lebrons feelings and the refs have been against us basically every year since

Luke Zhang
2022-05-02 22:50:33 +0000 UTCThe biggest concern has always been the level of appropriate fear and motivation with this Dubs team after accomplishing so much. Off the bat great to see that's not gonna be a problem in this series against this opponent. Plus I watched your YT preview right before the game and your chance in tone has me all the way hyped. This is only game 1 but got major Game 6 2019 Rockets vibes with the rising to the occasion (Durant getting hurt/Dray getting ejected). Some more tactical things but our defense and athleticism was so much more noticeable with Wiggins + Kuminga on the court. Not sure how much of those 2 together we're gonna get with Dray back but it was refreshing to not be at an athletic disadvantage for once. Also a great Kerr game although I nearly had a stroke when I saw DLee checking in LOL. But he held his own. One thing I don't know if you noticed Alch but Kerr had JK and Otto in the game and had Otto on Clarke and Kuminga on Anderson. Wouldn't it be perfect to swap those 2 matchups? It was tough seeing Otto tryna keep up in this game, feels like Slo Mo is the only one he can match up with. Regardless like Klay said, they didn't come here to just win one game. Slater made the great point that us winning at Chase is far from a given with this Grizzlies team, so if it's 1-1 the pressure is immediately back on us. Got a real chance to step on their neck here in Game 2 especially with a Draymond revenge game. LFG!
Luke Zhang
2022-05-02 22:48:37 +0000 UTCYou better fucking believe it does!! Ayy this has to be my favorite breakdown of the season, so far. Let’s fucking humble these fools on Tuesday and go for the jugular
Aidan Willner
2022-05-02 22:47:23 +0000 UTCGame 2 will be spicy because all the pressure will be on mem and we want to sweep them for all the shit the did to us and yet they have not win a game from us yet. After this game, one of the most important thing mem is lack of it is the heart of the champion, warrior in 5 mark my word

Athletic Alchemy
2022-05-02 22:29:59 +0000 UTCSome of those antics are about who can get the most clicks on social media. If they are willing to do that, its only going to add extra bulletin board material for the Warriors to get laser-focused for the rest of this series.
Jimmy Ji
2022-05-02 22:29:03 +0000 UTCDraymond was driving me crazy with his attempts at Diva assists where his pass is the highlight. How many into the stands and fastballs into someones ankle throws is he allowed? Love hate with Dray as always, but I agree game two he will be ON. I think our small quick lineup can do fine rebounding if we hustle like this game AND Memphis keeps launching 3's so the rebounds are flying all over the place. Its the Joker type walk into the paint and keep throwing up Moses Malone re rebounds where we are in trouble. IMO This entire free throw problem started when Jordan joked with Steph before Steph took a tech against Denver. They both laughed at the joke but Steph has been overthinking his free throws ever since, no hitter rule, don't F with the free throw god, let him keep throwing strikes, you never talk smack, even playful shit, to your own guy.
Russ
2022-05-02 22:25:40 +0000 UTCAll 3 refs swallowing their whistles on the out of bounds call, disgraceful. The view of the play for 2 of the refs was in no way obstructed so there is no excuse. Gutless.
Steven Stanley
2022-05-02 22:18:34 +0000 UTCDo you see MEM playing much better than this game? Feel like they hit all their shots just not from the typical shooters in Bane or Ty Jones, and they hella crashed the glass on some pretty important possessions. Pressure’s on them now
Anthony Tsai
2022-05-02 22:16:34 +0000 UTCI didn't actually get to watch this game live and was able to catch the tail-end of the radio broadcast but I can imagine the stress level from watching this game and getting worked up over the inconsistent officiating. Why not add an extra official on the floor for playoff games if the league doesn't have enough eyes on the game to make the correct call? This game played out in a way I did not expect. From Memphis making more threes to the Warriors ending the game with the rebound advantage, this was one of those games that proved we cannot judge these matchups on paper. I was expecting GP2 to start a game eventually in this series but definitely not game 1. Draymond getting kicked out also helped unlock the 4G lineup and I think Memphis was having a lot of difficulty figuring out how to guard that unit because of how many defensive mismatches it exposed.

2022-05-02 22:14:39 +0000 UTCyah man, i think the grizz are a little too over confident. We grown men. That matters. Your youth and athleticism takes a hit when the stakes go up. Ja clearly loves the pressure, or at least postures to show that, but he playing men, initiated through real epic battles between those lines. I'd love to see a sweep and the snatching of the young boys souls and ego. Put em in their place - dominate through execution, intelligence, skill, and experience.

Ben
2022-05-02 22:09:59 +0000 UTCI hope you're right Alc because no one is talking about the officiating except the warriors fans. I think a formal complaint needs to be filled listed all of these inconsistencies that you mentioned here in this video but I know the warriors are not gonna do that. I don't think anyone cares and it will continue. No one is talking about the refs on any sports shows they are just talking about the draymond green call and the majority of them agree with him getting thrown out. The refs are making mad nervous. It's clear they either want the series to go 7 games or they want steph and the warriors to clear the way for their new darling Ja or the refs have family members betting on the game. Something is amist. And did I hear you mention that we won't even get to see the report that the nba puts out after each game about the calls the refs made? Why? I think. I'm starting to miss David Stern.
Carla Davis
2022-05-02 22:09:44 +0000 UTCOne thing I thought coming in that has nothing to do with the talent and measurables played out in game 1. Memphis hasn't been punched in the mouth and faced the heartbreak teams need to grow up and really lock in, Ja's dancing kinda confirmed it. After stealing game 1 without Draymond and Steph and Klay not shooting well I don't see us losing this series, but even if Memphis somehow makes it past us they are getting smacked by either Phoenix or whoever comes out the east. Coming in I seriously under estimated their lack of playoff experience
KuraiT
2022-05-02 22:06:48 +0000 UTCAlch, have you ever considered doing live game broadcasts? Audio only (or video but not necessary). When I was a kid I got almost all my sports from live radio broadcasts and of course I loved it. I feel like you have the vocal speed and emotional quality to make that work. Your actual basketball knowledge is beyond anything other current live broadcasters posses (and I'll include the vast majority of the TV live talking heads, they seem dumb as a bag of hammers). No pressure. Please consider this a compliment from me, not a request
Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

2022-05-02 22:03:33 +0000 UTCman after all the weird shit that happened this game i wasnt even tripping if they lost it. they had so many opportunities to lose it! i could see them capitalizing on future games. seething is the right word, and curry and klay imo exploit those feelings very very well. let's see what adjustments both teams bring.
Chris Williams
2022-05-02 22:03:26 +0000 UTCImagine we get gm7 2016 Draymond for game two 😪
Jacob Ricafrente
2022-05-02 22:02:55 +0000 UTCWow, that disparity at the end with the two out-of-bounds situations is genuinely concerning. It's not even a conspiracy after seeing that.... they can't make the excuse that they couldn't review the out of bounds, because they had literally done that for the first one - which was conveniently overturned. Both were under 2 minutes. This is really unfortunate, because I know people will forget and stop caring in a few days. The refs know that, but I think this is something that seriously needs to be looked at as the series continues.
OhSomeABeanLoadin
2022-05-02 22:02:09 +0000 UTCAlch what did you make of Ja's dad tryna dap up Steph and Klay after?
Abhi Kelkar
2022-05-02 22:01:40 +0000 UTCThis was the game they HAD to win with everything that happened. I remember Curry's statement during his interview with Dray: "We all act like we don't see everything on social media but we do". All their taunts has really fueled this team and we might see the fury of the dubs tomorrow in full effect. You don't wake sleeping giants

2022-05-02 22:00:42 +0000 UTC11:42 "Se cuck-us"😭
Slurpy
2022-05-02 22:00:24 +0000 UTCObligatory "sorry for commenting before watching" lol. My main takeaway from this game is this: I'm genuinely surprised. I guess we did dodge a bullet with Ja missing (or Klay blocking???) the game winning shot. Every feeling in my gut knew we were gonna lose by a game winner. It was only fitting. There wasnt a single part of me throughout this game that made me feel like we were gonna win. In fact, even after it ended, I was still like "wait its over? Surely the refs wont let it end like that." Klay somehow both coming in clutch and flat out choking lol hahah. I love him from hitting that shot, and am pissed he clanks BOTH free throws. Real question of concern: how long until we all become genuinely worried about the FT shooting? Steph/Klay/Poole were the three best FT shooters in the league coming into the playoffs, but have suddenly turned into completely unreliable FT makers. Ive never felt as much doubt about them at the line until now. Its literally Iguodala levels of doubt. I used to be more surprised at Iguodala's makes than his misses. And how Im almost EXPECTING Steph to miss them and its concerning. Anyway: I feel like the Grizzlies severely over estimated their own ability to just come out and bully the Warriors. I think a large part of that is their arrogance and lack of experience which we all knew the Dubs have the advantage. But Ja dancing mid-shot in the FIRST quarter, them flopping on every call knowing a whistle is coming, and just the general look of SHOCK when the game ended. They actually couldnt believe they lost, as if this game was a given W for them and they were just supposed to be handed a victory. I love that the Warriors humbled them to start the series. And I have literally no idea what to expect in game 2. If the Grizz buckle down and stop being cocky and really lock in, they have the roster to blow us off the floor. But then again, Steph and Klay both were rather cold last night, and Poole didnt score the final 8 minutes of the game. The more GP2 and Kuminga play, the better they get. I need Kerr to trust Kuminga more. Clarke was KILLING us with those offensive boards as expected. Kuminga is the leveler for athleticism. We have to be okay with him making some mistakes every now and then if we want to win this series. I think he will be key going forward. Finally. Draymond......I honestly dont know man. I think it was the right call. Him being all extra afterwards kind rubbed me the wrong way. I know thats Draymond being Draymond but Id prefer if he didnt go all PatBev in just game 1. The Warriors still won and thats incredible, but he needs to be smarter and stay on the floor regardless of how bad the refs are. If he fouls out? Fine. But he cant be getting ejected in the first half of games this deep in to the playoffs. Projecting future problems, this could really come back to bite us if starts racking these up again. I swear everytime he does this, Kerr and the coaching staff need to lock him in a room and have him watching 2016 finals game 5 ON REPEAT. He needs it drilled into his head that when he does stupid shit, it has bigger effects than just that single game.
Jansen E
2022-05-02 21:59:32 +0000 UTCI’m a gen z and I’m honestly kinda embarrassed for my generation of all the shit talk and dancing and poking fun by the grizz. it’s competition I get that. But still, geez. #Dubsin6
Anthony Hernandez
2022-05-02 21:59:25 +0000 UTCThe out of bounds call in the 4th was a grizz challenge, not the refs deciding on their own to look
Kyle Most
2022-05-02 21:58:59 +0000 UTCBelieved the call at 1:17 4th was reviewed because the grizzlies used their challenge. After that both teams hands are tied and they can bullshit that OOB. The two lose ball call that should be jump ball are clear signs that they're fucking this up on purpose...
Carol Huang

Tanya Henwood
2022-05-02 21:56:39 +0000 UTCRefs tried so damn hard to give grizzlies that win. Probably trying to promote ja fully as the next great point guard similar to how they did with Steph and cp3 once Steph took his crown.
