Warriors vs lakers | GM-1 |

Comments

Of course he's not going to get foul calls when he's guarding Steph, refs won't give Steph the foul call if he got punched in the face at half court

Zac Vizier

It’s tempting but damn is it nice to have him in the 2nd unit. I agree though, let’s see it sometimes. Would he take Looney’s spot at the 5?

Kevin Neal

Exactly they should encourage this. It makes more people into basketball and the NBA. It's just like what Draymond was complaining about. Guys like Alch and the explain one play guy are providing the content that we want and are not getting from ESPN etc.

Rareform

I wouldn't mind if Bjelica can get the starting spot some times, just to see how the offense is like with him out there from the jump next to the starters

Diosdado

Finally Bazemore stopped fouling being overly aggressive on D! We waited all year last year for that knucklehead to be this guy. Stop all freedom of movement and make it difficult for his man to even move at all. Why couldn’t we see that all that was needed was for him to get traded and then guard Steph Curry. Now u can play the way u always play and get away with it. Bazemore should get defensive player of the year easily if he just sits the bench all season except when the Lakers play the Warriors then roll him out to block Steph from moving at all. Perfect. Congrats, where will he put the trophy?

Russ

We need 1 of Wiseman or kuminga to produce this year if we are really going to contend. Obviously Klay is the biggest factor.. But yall Giddy guys are super thirsty to be right on him. Can we watch 20 gm at least?

Athletic Alchemy

Appreciate that Kevin.. Even tho they are short I put a lot of effort into each one to make sure im not just talking to talk

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks! Dubs being good again certainly helps!

Athletic Alchemy

YouTube Getting more aggressive on removals. The NBA just won't get that content like Alch's *increases* interest in their product.

Steve

Been watching your vids for a few years now. Love the activity on here, much deserved! Will be a fun season, finally we won the first game of the season ha..

Ronnie Meade

F*ckin Wiggins already in the dog house for me. So this is what 30 million gets you - wow. Terrible

Ryan Mitchell

Draymond got only 1 tech at preaseason and no techs at opener. Is he practicing yoga or something?

Ivan

Cmon, what rookie Forward can do against crafty 7-footers, foul out of the game in 2 minutes?

Ivan

great to hear that we will get 3 hezi episodes in a week, been craving for some high quality nba podcasts and nothing has topped the hezi so far

Kevin Chan

Sweet win. Bench looking tight. Kudos Alch, you predicted that Bijelica would shine with his passing prowess in our offense when we signed him.

Andrej Krickovic

they startin it now on youtub - really showin its just the corporate shit. Loved seeing Bjelica continue to evolve with the warriors. Think its the perfect system for him. Are we all really that hyped for Wiseman already. I'm still holding my guns. He has got to dig himself out of a hole, in my mind. Im still ! nauseous about our picking him over LeMelo. I hope he can do it. I just did not see any basketball awareness from him at all. Hes got size and athleticism, but his read on the game needs tremendous amount of work. I dont think he will be a plus this year. Hope Im wrong. Hope Kerr lets KUminga play a bit. Want to see the bull grow into a star. And Alc, I think you are going to have to clean some egg off. That Ozzy might be the real deal. Not that Im sad about us getting Kuminga,

Tyler Durden

I say yes, but it’s like a 5% chance. Klay would have to be 90% or better for us to even think we could win it all in my opinion.

Dansby Sturdivant

They blocked the video on YouTube bro

Thomas Joseph

Back to patreon, lez go dubs!

Gerrard Israel Laraga

Does anyone here think we have a chance winning the chip, say klay is 80% back to old klay. I think we can get to the finals.

haris

Alch, I forget the new coach that's training Wiseman, but you think Looney has it in him to pick up some post moves at this stage in his career? And man, those lebron fadeaway looked so good!

David Liao

I was so surprised on how lebron was putting the team on his back when ad should've played down the stretch more

Aldrich Luna

Steph should shoot more mid range like Kyrie or Derozan.

Alex deB

ye, got the same error.... something about copyright issue

Yeah the league truly feels back 🙌🏽

That’s why the main link is Vimeo.. it happens on longer vids

The glory years the Warriors had guys like Brandon Rush, Ian Clark, Patrick McCaw, Damion Jones in the rotation. Compare that with this year's bounty, 15 good players. I thought Moody played well in the second quarter though he missed a couple short jumpers. But we must be mentally prepared for the inevitable injuries to Porter, Bjelica, Iggy. But this team is DEEP.....The Lakers remind me of Wilt Chamberlain's Warriors. Wilt would score 50 and get 25 rebounds and the rest of the team would sleep walk through the game. They never made the playoffs till Wilt realized he had to be a point guard. Right now the Lakers are Snow White (Lebron and AD) and the Seven Dwarfs.

Jerry Heverly

Really good games from Crying Lebron James and Anthony Banana Peel Davis and still the Dubs play together for a win (ball movement, assists, get to the line and make them, and timely 3 point shooting from multiple guys) a very promising start. Shouldn't Vegas have an over/under on how many games before Davis gets hurt on one of those falls, what is his malfunction that he can't stick the landing?

Steven Stanley

Youtube video blocked on copyright grounds?

Sarick Shah

Curious to see if Kerr adapts his rotations. I think the Steph / Poole minutes are locked in but I think we need to be matchup dependent and ride the hot hand. Seems like its trending that way with Belly and DLee, don't see them playing that much every game or closing every game. Something to watch for sure.

Zach Thigpen

Great breakdown, very happy that the season is here. I'm excited about this season and not just for my Dubs. A lot of fun teams to watch.

Alasdair Macdonald

Bjelica was clutch. Glad he swiped the fuck out of lebum

Ravi Dissanayake

Dawgy smh Nba dun blocked the YouTube video smh...

Nsikan Usen

Andre ' Pretend to be dead until coming back to the Warriors ' Iguodala

Qiushi Hu

We missed you Alch!!! This is well put! Appreciate your work as always

Louis

I could see Kerr being conservative with his first half min just to play him all the way down the stretchs

Athletic Alchemy

Curious about Alch's take of putting Kuminga in at Looney's 5 spot to spark better offense.

Noel Corcoran

I had it in the edit but the shit was so long I have to scrap a few plays to keep it under 20 min

Athletic Alchemy

The Lakers narratives are going to get crazy this year.. telling ya

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

he should help connect everything, and then how many times in practices is he gonna ball fake you and before you start using some of his tricks

Athletic Alchemy

That was a great game.

Strong Foru

Nice... Thanks!

Athletic Alchemy

Great start.. lot of reasons to be optimistic

Athletic Alchemy

they call him belly

Athletic Alchemy

AHHHHHH game 1. man. alch you been a blessing for us all. makes the game that much nicer. appreciate you. + 3 pods a week? hoowee!

Spence

Vimeo link still up

keeg

I feel like curry adjusted and started dishing out dimes . I dont think he played bad just shot bad

james moore

For some reason I am rewatching it and it says "contains content from broadband nba account, blocked forvcopyright"

Paradox

Im sick of seeing Looney hurt our offense especially with his defensive decline. I've been surprised by Bjelica's defense as well, no just his offense, and see much higher potential with him over Looney. Curry needs to go back to his 2018 self where he made 61% on long midrange shots. That is 40% from 3 and is good decent conversion for someone as skilled as he is. Lakers curse too strong.

Paradox

Bjelica will free up Steph, Poole and Klay. Play Bjelica, Draymond, Wiggins, Klay/ Poole and Steph as our main lineup. Poole/ Iggy, Moody, Porter, Wiseman as 2nd unit. Kuminga Chiozza and Looney as the 3rd unit. We are so deep this season. It will help to get everyone healthy til PO.

Natto Santo

Let's go!!! We got Bjeli for cheap. He's a damn good player.

Ryosuke Kimura

If nothing else, the team is just simply more entertaining to watch this year. The front office did a great job getting a seemingly good mix of players that compliment each other. I'm eager to see how the season plays out! Great video as always Alch!

David Y

Wha't NB's nickname?

Daniel Fries

The New Old School. It's a perfect combo.

Nathan Glanzer

Alch man I’m so excited for this season this game has done wonders for my confidence on how far the team can go this year! We played terrible with Lebron and AD killing us and we still won imagine how bad this game would’ve been if we hit half of our wide open attempts. Plus we’re still adding Klay and Wiseman to the lineup no reason why we couldn’t win the chip this year

Chris Thomas

thanks man, always wait for your breakdown before watching the highlights. good work as usual

Calum Stapleton

Yeah he and knows how to use his speed so much better now so it’s way more effective!

Chris Thomas

Yep I didn’t even think about that! He D Lee with a 3 point shot

Chris Thomas

Alc I’m happy the season is here these breakdowns are GOATED. As for the game I think playing with Beli should do wonders for wiseman as far as practice goes. Hopefully he is able to pick up on reading the floor in the short rolls and just in the paint in general as far as decision making. Same with alumina even though he has already show flashes of wanting to make good the passes. Im very pumped for this szn!

Tre

now, i might look at this through our fanbase optimistic eyes, but check out that play at 13:05 with poole. the speed of that drive is crazy, i get prime john wall flash backs. i've really noticed his driving speed has increased like 25% from last year. or is it just me? poole's first step is becoming lethal.

Breuer

I needed this so badly! The Trashional media talked about this game like the Lakers were playing against Russell Westbrook. FEED THE BIG BELI!!! Love it. Thanks Alch.

Tio

Who else was waiting for your Alchemy!!! Steph always shoots like shit in LA particularly against the Lakers....

Jello Smooth

I'm surprised you didn't put the Carmelo pump-fake free throw attempt in the highlights. That was the weirdest FT attempt I've ever seen!

Jimmy Ji

steph bjelica pnr is gonna be so deadly. he's a great decision maker in the short roll and can pop for the three ball as well, I like our closing lineup with him at the 5 way more than with loon. only question is how he'll hold up against the elite bigs like jokic and embiid.

Ezra Abbey

Yo one of my homies said Bjelica the new David lee.. Yall mess with that comp??

richard phan

I got so much love for that Lee, Poole, Iguodala, Bjelica, Porter lineup.

Thomas Ogas

Yeah he's gotta do something more than just 3's and lay ups

José Francisco

Steph shooting poorly and getting a triple-double against Westbrook was poetic

Branden Edwards

best part of each year is refreshing for that first real Alc com of the season

Chy Ward

Part of me honestly doesn’t know how we won this game lmao with Lebron and AD not missing, Looney and Draymond playing hot potato, and Steph struggling to shoot, it didn’t look good for a while. But glad to see the bench production looks legit. Poole showed his age in the first half, but credit to him for having the mental toughness to play better. Alch, I wasn’t sure about that Bjelica Jokic comparison at first, but some of those fakes and assists made me understand the similarity lol. Good win to start the season considering how suspect we played at first. I think Steph should try to get sweet midrange spots like CP3 against the Lakers so that their size doesn’t keep running him off the line and at the rim. And Idk how Russ is gonna be effective on this Lakers squad.

Matt Piers

ayyyy
