Warriors vs Thunder || Game 17 ||

Very good info Richard. IG has been aggressive at times. But I agree Dray really needs to attack more. Look at the drive in this game where the red sea parts and he still is looking to pass.

Congrats on hitting the goal Alchemy!

I see you with the graphics AA. Nice touch.

If you are able to read MT's article in The Athletic about this game, it's great and he breaks down a lot of things. I think there are a few things at play here. Yes, there's no doubt our intensity level isn't matching our opponent's. It's not just length/athleticism that's bothering us, it's aggressive defenses in general. We're just going thru the motions and these really aggressive defenses are causing so many TO's. Look at the numbers. OKC had 27 deflections. HOU had 23 deflections. Boston had 21 against us. PHI had 21 before we had a miracle comeback. We gotta be focused against these type of defenses but we haven't been. Kerr's gotta run more PnR against aggressive defenses bc his motion sets require a lot of passes which can be deflected or cause TO's. Another issue has been Draymond and Iguodala not being scoring threats. We've been at our best when Draymond is a threat on offense. Defenses are basically leaving Draymond, Iguodala, Zaza, Looney all unguarded when on the floor. So this enables the defense to play us 3 on 5 or 4 on 5. Curry is getting guarded by 2 guys on every play. Draymond has to make defenses pay for not guarding him. I know they'll figure this out bc I've seen this team go thru this exact same stuff before. More than anything, it's just a focus thing.

I'm so annoyed they gave them all this confidence and steph just moved out of the way when he saw russ coming I mean I saw him try against jimmy butler so I know he can get down and stay in front. Now I have to listen to these lame ass okc fans

heyyy u finally hit u goal! goodjob AA!

Your videos keep getting technically better (love the overlays and the breakdowns), but what keeps them great is the combination of your basketball and human insights. I’m happy I didn’t get the chance to watch this game live — what a shit show.

They look content!

Heyl Alc, good stuff as always. I will never understand not waking up for a game like this. Even in this blow out and OKC big 3 shooting well, they only scored 108... This game was very winnable and we just rolled over. Hopefully they take these next 2 home games serious and get back on track.

Matt Hanna

Well said... Steph and KD gonna have to find it...it comes from with in at this point.

Athletic Alchemy

I really don't like the display of arrogance or whatnot at the end by kd and curry because such mindset will take its toll on them sooner or later. Gotta respect the game and take it seriously no matter who u playing, especially in a night when u got blown out by a potential playoff opponent they just didn't have the heart to compete tn. Somebody needs to put that sense of emergency in steph and kd

This is my thought, i heard by alchemy that the warriors were not going to try as hard this season to save there energy for the playoffs. I think certain games they dont try as hard to let those teams feel as if they have a chance to beat the warriors but once the warriors get to the playoffs they flip the switch like the cavs do and they will dominate teams in the playoffs. You got to remember this will be the 4th time in a row they will go to the finals so they have played alot more games then most teams have. Look how much fun curry and durant were having at the end of the game they would be pissed if they were trying in that game and still lost.

martin pattison

Yeah they did ... hurt to watch. It was like they didn't care. I remember all those game against OKC when Dubs were locked in and got the job done. Russ would get exposed for his bad defense and put up bricks freezing his team out, Steph would put up big numbers, defense was tight ... this game was like they mailed it in so they could eat turkey today lol. Not a good look.

Very interesting suggestion.

I do really like your videos Alchemy, every part that you show us, but this time i think you know more about KD and Steph mental situation as you explained us with the video right after the game, I do really wanna see a video you explaining how things should be to go back in time and be the same team that every other feels fear to match.

they played like they would rather be home
