GSW vs CLE |GM6 2015|

I’ll touch on it maybe in a pod.. but I’ve said my piece. Now how they handle the rest of this season may change things.

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽 Corbin

Athletic Alchemy

Become a magician, you are so funny Bro! Haha

Shi Cheng

alch i'm rocking with you regardless of what happens. thank you for all the great content!

Corbin Santos

You the 🐐 bruh

He could never be Iggy, they are lightyears apart in terms of IQ & that becomes especially true on the defensive end of the court. & as far as reprising his role, idk why anyone would want that. He was absolute garbage for two playoff runs, culminating in two straight Finals disappearing acts. He should retire & become a magician. I hope he never wears a Warriors jersey again

These Giannis to Warriors rumors are getting some legs. Alch let's see another video??

Freddie D

Yeah! MO BUCKETS! Good times...

steph cheering the loudest and most enthusiastically when andre is announced as finals MVP. has there ever been a more humble and likable superstar?

Jaystaypaid

He is a bit like Livingston, no?

Shi Cheng

Please make a video to predict the next Barnes for Warriors presuming Wiggins will be our poor man version of Durant. And who would be the next Livingston / Iggy off the bench, as a Warriors Fan, I am very excited to watch them play next season. We will be back baby!

Shi Cheng

😀

Athletic Alchemy

Crazy right! And he was like 27 at that point!

Athletic Alchemy

I remember at least a 6 or 7 games that year where Mo or Blur took us home it was a special group.

Athletic Alchemy

I agree... Splash bro’s will need a more balanced attack as they age

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah, it was the Festus dunk for me, too. I never forgot that. Everybody doing their part. So sick and tired of the simplistic judgments about greatness. This was a team and someone besides Steph won mvp. And it couldn’t have happened to better man in Andre.

There are good number of youtube videos that look at the films... 90s was about same level of physicality as now. It seems every generstion people say the same thing, 80s guys used to say 90s was soft. Here is one example: https://youtu.be/TEF1lVcUDEk

Paradox

Miss this season 😢 I look at it as the blueprint for how we should retool next season. Poole can hopefully fill that Barbosa role and who knows if we can get spelly back there's a speights replacement. Edwards for Iggy? Felt like we had the perfect depth that season to help carry our stars at the start of their playoff careers hopefully we can get it back for the end

Simhesh Shastry

Loved this idea, Alch. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Im still marveling at Draymond looking like a offensive +

Athletic Alchemy

Another great idea..understand tho something like that would or will take 7-10 days at least. Im adjusting to this new work flow, trying to make sure I give yall enough content but most importantly good, unique content.

Athletic Alchemy

Im working on Killian Hayes right now since our beat witters claim the Warriors really like him. It will be out some time this week. Im watching his entire season so I can give you all a confident in depth take. Some of these guys, the games wont be as easy to get so it will have to be more of an impression. But I will get to as many as possible.

Athletic Alchemy

he just signed a 80 mil deal in Sac last summer.

Athletic Alchemy

Im working on gathering up the footage. that was a historic series in many ways so once I get my hands on it..for sure

Athletic Alchemy

Watching this game again, I remember when I watched this Finals series the first time and marveled at just how fucking fast everything was. I was fortunate to watch two of the games with my brother in law who coaches youth basketball and listening to him gush and get all giddy about the motion and the execution ... really opened my eyes to some of the things the Warriors players were really doing off-ball. I'm glad that you point out the chemistry and counter moves, how the ball keeps moving and how Curry's gravity (a novel concept at the time) creates easy looks back then. We were committed to small ball, flow, and gravity and the team executing that system to perfection was on full display.

Thomas Ogas

Very cool. You should breakdown Steph's unanimous MVP season too.

Freddie D

Hey Alc, I see a lot of YouTubers posting videos with titles like, “How the NBA became soft”. I’m very curious about this statement and while it does seem incontrovertible that the rules have changed to make the game less “physical” in some ways I’d love to hear your take on the bigger picture. Maybe a history of the how the game has changed and why

Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

Can’t wait until you start showing these break downs of these draft prospects. Curious to know who you think we should draft. If we don’t take a James Wiseman or Obi Toppin then we definitely should draft another wing. Saddiq Bey looks really promising; he can score at all 3 levels and play some defense. I think we can trade down and maybe get a decent rotation big out of it.

Elijah Curry

Any chance Harrison Barnes could return to Warriors one day to play Iggy’s role or his original role?

Shi Cheng

Doing classic breakdowns...in-depth player analyses...the Rise of Stephen Curry...all that would be great. And you put teasers up on YT and the full video on Patreon, of course, to get people here who are going to need and want some light, uplifting entertainment during these times.

Owen Salisbury

Hey, I would appreciate it if you did a breakdown of the 2011 mavs heat series. It was the first nba finals I ever watched and at the time, I was too young to understand the game. It would be pretty dope to hear your outlook.

I think after watching this and see how young Steph looked we should now start calling him "Old Man" Steph.

Steven Stanley

Fun! THANK YOU UNCLE !

Steven Stanley

Yes! The year they broke the curse...

percussion boy

Oh my god, this brings back memories. I was so sure we weren't going to make it to the Finals. I was sure the King would crush us if we did. My God, that game, San Jose was ON FIRE! Fireworks until midnight, people screaming in the street, total strangers celebrating together, drinking beers, hugging, high-fiving...one guy down the road from my brother's house (I was in the US visiting home during the run and almost convinced him it would be worth the insane money to go to a game...almost...) fired up his grill in the yard at half-past twelve and invited everybody over for hot dogs for free.

Owen Salisbury

Lol, I'm probably the only one out here that has actually never seen this game. I hopped on the bandwagon during their 73-9 season. So is this game any good? j/k ;)

Michel ten Voorde

No words can describe how i felt when we won this one... Still feels like yesterday

Kevin Chan

This is a great idea ALC. I got goosebumps watching this lol

yo this was dope! some of those 2016 OKC vs Warriors games would be amazing to look back on

Really enjoy the video!!

Tai Jan Huang

I feel like now that everyone understands the value of gravity it might have played out different now. But the island that Dre did everything on magnified his performance. Everybody stood and watched if he could make those shots .

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

I’m sorry for your lose brother.. glad you were able to enjoy this.

Athletic Alchemy

it was bs they gave curry votes to lebron

james moore

I remember fucking crying when we won. My brother was a bigger Warriors fan than I was and he was killed right before the start of the playoffs that year. Kinda felt like it was for him, obviously in my own head-space. Really enjoyed this one, brought back a lot.

John Z

you the goat

james moore

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

On the list for sure!

Athletic Alchemy

I’m grabbing them off nba tv but yeah send the link might being doing this for a while...

Athletic Alchemy

This was my idea kinda! Awesome!

Nathan Glanzer

Really cool seeing you breakdown a classic game. It would be awesome if you broke down another classic game like game 6 against OKC

guni_800

Hey alch if your going to continue to do these vintage breakdowns there’s a channel on yt ( I can send the link) that has regular season and playoff game starting in 2013-14 through 17-18 finals. For example they have the warriors game 7 loss against the clips I think that would dope to get a pre championship GSW breakdown... you do have to pay for 1.99 the games though.

I get nervous every time we play him.

Athletic Alchemy

Makes me think of that was the real turning point with Draymonds offense

Athletic Alchemy

Absolutely! Appreciate the support!

Athletic Alchemy

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

I got you!

Athletic Alchemy

Steph looked a lot quicker to me too...

Athletic Alchemy

💪🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Haha nice!

Athletic Alchemy

I got you! I’m bring a ton of content

Athletic Alchemy

😁

Athletic Alchemy

💯

Athletic Alchemy

👌🏽

Athletic Alchemy

For sure! I’m recording all the classics on nba tv there is going to be some good ones across many eras.

Athletic Alchemy

Man, that Olynyk play was beyond dirty. It's just assault at that point.

Kenneth

I miss those pre-KD days.

Raymond M. Wood

Thanks for this especially how the world is today!

Oh 13/33

Paradox

Haven't watched yet, but I am SOOOO happy right now, because later I'm going to love this. Thanks.

e40

Yesss Alch, you need to put up more old Classic games

Pirate Ramsay

Damn I almost forgot how fast LeBron's acceleration used to be. But his jump shots were terrible here, he was literally left wide open the whole series and still came up short. It was 2011 Mavericks all over again, only a better excuse and a meaningless triple double. When you look at beginning of 2016, Draymond doesn't really have as much of a backpack shot form like he does here, which to me looks pretty similar to how it is now. Love it when old dudes say Curry can't play in 90s, he is arguably getting more hand checked here than prime Jordan who got the whistles to stop all the hand checking violations. It was so bad teams had to hard double Jordan and play 4 vs 3. Iguodala's brother is a ref and he told Andre that Curry and Klay gets fouled 80% of the possessions they're in...

Paradox

Yesss!!! I needed this today. Sheltering in place sucks. Thanks Alc

Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

I get chills just remembering this moment, stayed up to 2am watching the game next to my father, game ended, we won and i was so hyped bouncing all over the house screaming, went to my bedroom and i had woke up my brother , he was so mad and he told me "you just woke me up" and i said to him... we won! Next thing i do was go into snapchat to see the celebrations from the warrios count and trashtalk my lebron favs friends. Thank you alch for this video, that was a really special run with all that it meant

tomas klappen

Summer '15 man. What a time.

Damn watching Festus tear it up is bittersweet - you made a good point as to why Kerr trusted him the next year

Ah yes the game where LeBron declared himself GOAT and shot 13/32

Paradox

Rubbing my hands like bird man

Great idea Alc. Crackin smiles in these tough times

Thomas Joseph

🔥🔥🔥🔥ayyyy a Throwback video

This is an amazing idea alchemy! I’d love to see more in this vein.
