Warriors vs Thunder |GM-54|

1. Gotta love the Lu Dort story tbh. Complete under dog who plays like a dog. I’m a fan 2. Walk down goose neck!! Haven’t heard that one before - props

Ryan Mitchell

My biased says JP because of his ability to create his own shot. But the consensus is probably Ty https://discord.gg/NF2J4tpV

Athletic Alchemy

Have you got in the discord? You will get way more back n forth there… but for this trade 😬 you gonna killed lol

Athletic Alchemy

higher ceiling - haliburton or JP?

Raze

What if we admitted we are the pioneers and poster child of postionless small ball?? JWise and Belly for Dfavors and Bazley works in the trade machine. Could we get more for JWise? Maybe...but when are we going to embrace while the chef is in the kitchen, we don't need a true center, especially one as potentially skilled as JWise. We need someone who can set picks, play d, and rebound. That is why Loon had done so well for us. A system fit big is not a true big imo. It is easy to get carried away with JWise's ceiling just cuz it is WILD to see someone that Big go coast to coast, splash 3's and be so athletic. This whole win now and win in the future has HAVE to have Meyers up late at night with the trade machine being his nightmare and the buyout market being his wet dream.

Following the GSW press events after hearing Alchs takes on team personnel makes me more and more certain they're watching Alchs content.

I agree...a huge plus is that Looney had been in this system for so long. He knows when and where to set screens and where to be. Only thing is his offense isn't that productive

Francisco Hazel

Alchemy jinx working it’s magic in terms of wiseman. Hope alch blasts him next pod he might be the next Olajuwon 😆

Ken Bradford

you right we blow some of these games if Klay doesn’t close them, he’s been huge even when his shooting hasn’t returned entirely

Kevin Chan

If we can get off Beli, I would love it if a Robin Lopez type is available on the buyout market. The team should do as much as they can to keep Loon but there are limits to how much they can afford. I could be wrong but I think a bit like Draymond Loon's value is higher with us than with anyone else.

Alasdair Macdonald

Think about this year’s rookies. How many have shown noticeable improvement so far…..Cunningham………Mobley…….that’s it, except for Kuminga and Moody. I like Beli but the addition of JK and Moody to the rotation has made this a much stronger team. Moody reminds me of Oscar Robertson. Kuminga? Elgin Baylor. I was wrong about Klay. I thought his impact would be marginal because other good players would lose minutes, but he has been a difference maker.

Jerry Heverly

dig up that trauma LOL!!!

Raze

Bet it was that screen on bazely at mid court. Lowkey took the worst of that.

Athletic Alchemy

Looney is questionable versus Utah. Well, here we go. Dubs are going to have bring another big in via a small trade or in the buy-out market. I think this is true, even if Wiseman can come back. The question regarding Looney is whether the Dubs are going to sign him for what he will want in the off season. I like Loon, but we must be realistic financially. So that is something to consider in whether we should deal him. He is cheap for this year, though. What do you think about that Haliburton/Sabonis deal?

Eddie757

What a lovely problem to have though, he’s clearly a self sufficient player who doesn’t lack IQ, so you have 30 ish games to preach dynamic play and screening with Steph that’s all it is really, he’s just not viable enough to stand still.

Gp2 is 50/50 but never a negative, what I mean by that is he’s a shooter who can hurt you when the defence is forced to defend him but they’re leaving him butt naked wide open, so 37% from or not it’s demoralising. Otherwise it’s just him being dynamic and screening for Steph on time.

one huge difference Melo doesn't break his energy flow..

Athletic Alchemy

Giddy's shot look exactly like Lamelos

Adv

It seems like GP2 doesn't get as much minutes because he doesn't get the plays right. Steph is sometimes frustrated with him that he isn't in the right spots. I like this rotation a lot better than chiosa and belly. We seem to be winning even without playing top notch warriors basketball

lance chichester

Exactly! It's NBA that's evil. They requested that the video was removed. So now I'll watch more of their content?

Peter Beckler

Fuck off YouTube . They removed it

Calum Stapleton

That’s what the streamable link is for. I will reup when I get back home

Athletic Alchemy

James Wiseman now doing 3-on-3 contact work.

How is GPII doing in the offense. Does he understand where he has to be on the set plays? And Belly is probably not going to be playable in the playoffs. It's a pity.

Francisco Hazel

Streamable link works for me

I tried to play this but it's blocked. I live for this. I'll take an audio...

Peter Beckler

Its saying that last video was blocked on youtube

king Charles

Jim calling the game on the radio had me in tears of reminiscence last night. Then I have to hear Alcs impersonation of Kelenna.

Sean An

Damn Alch I forgot NB was even on our team. We look a lot better without him on the floor and JK is getting a ton of minutes. When he comes back how could you give him the nod over JK, it’s not like he’s been shooting well or playing any type of defense.

Kahlil Baker

I had several thoughts watching the game and you hit on every one lol 100percent I'd bet we see Curry dip into his traditional "point guard" bag as he ages, and mesmerizing is the perfect way to describe how inhumanly quick Kuminga moves and jumps, it's almost faster than the eye can track at times. Lastly OKC better not get rid of their coach too quickly, he's got them focused on defense first and playing their asses off, that's rare for a young team in the NBA nowadays, he's building it up correctly he just needs more All star level talent to work with.

KuraiT

No you are right! I’m being biased, I don’t enjoy the matchup. But if you are a OKC fan, you have to be happy with how they have handled the post Russ era

Athletic Alchemy

I was more impressed w OKC than you, Alch, as that amount of young talent playing hard combined with all the picks they’ve piled up could equal the next Memphis if they can add a star. Somehow I just get a feeling…but yes, Seattle needs a team! Yo Papa Glove!

Hey Alch if we have a written question for Podcast, do we send a message or post it on Patreon?

Matthew Velez

King Kuminga sounds nice

Natto Santo

I don’t know about nicknames for King Kuma, but we need to start calling Loon The Janitor. Cleaning up everyone’s messes by crashing the offensive glass.

benji lenett

I've got some nickname ideas for Kuminga: Danger Plutonium The Cobra The Drone Apollo Creed Jr Prince Meteor Jam Goku Any winners here?

Ryan Farber

Happy Birthday Klay!
