GSW vs IND |GM-46|

Between Chriss and Spellman, I'd choose Chriss ... but it isn't an easy choice. Chriss feels a bit more raw but more explosive and with a higher ceiling. I think Chriss can develop more of an outside shot (especially with open 3s) and work on his rebounding/boxing out. I like Spellman's ability to stretch the floor and his rebounding. Feel like he fits better with Draymond. But I see Spellman's ultimate role as a bench big/change of pace. Someone to inject for toughness and energy. Definitely want to keep both but that brings other problems... how will Looney and Smiley fit into future Dubs?

Fuck, RIP KOBE.

Can't blame the Chase Center for this one. Tickets are as low as $30 right now, but there have been games where I could have gone this year and thought "Nah, I don't want to put in all that effort going to the game just to watch them lose on purpose. I'd rather do that from home." The FO made their decision to tank this year and they're keeping the face of the team on the bench longer than he needs to be. The fans don't owe the team anything in my opinion.

Is it just me or is the way TJ Warren moves Kawhi-like

Hey Alc - I actually watched this game live and was frankly rly disappointed with the Chase Center crowd. Lot of empty seats and people in suits... not enough real basketball fans. Do you think the crowd will get better as Steph and Klay make their way back from injury? Will we ever regain the home court advantage that we had at Oracle?

I feel the issue with DLo is passion. I loved what Jordan said about Zion in Paris. I feel like its the difference. Competitive passion and fire. He just burns to low/slow to be great.

you right you right

My issue going forward with him though is that at his size and with age, he's just going to get worse defensively regardless of IQ. He's not going to be able to contain people down low that are so much bigger than him.

John Z

Was Robinson not Draymond in the corner early! Was a fun game to watch you keep hoping to come back watching D'Lo shoot fire like that but too many bonehead young buck turnovers. Team's gonna be great next year.

Nathan Glanzer

I didn't like how Paschall and Burks weren't deferring to DLo at the end of the game. He was red hot and the Warriors m.o. is to feed the hot hand. Hope they don't disrespect Klay or Steph like that when they're back. I don't want us to be last years Celtics.

Ive seen enough of him defensively to know he's still got it...you just wish he could get the 3 ball back to the luke days with no pressure right now.

Athletic Alchemy

Ironically Nate was one of the more handsy guards in the 90's he and GP would molest guys for the ball.

Athletic Alchemy

game needed some spice!

Athletic Alchemy

Iv had enough of him! Did you hear him in the Utah game try to excuse the performance by saying the Jazz came in worried about how close we played them last time..

Athletic Alchemy

Nice positive outlook Mac!

I'm starting to get anxious about Draymond's contract, he's not worth 25 M a year and this season is wrecking his value. But then again, contacts are such a tricky business, it's so hard to gauge value when you have players like Tobias and Horford on 32 and 28 M contracts. I'd say all these guys are around 20 M 40 M contracts should be for real superstars only (around 6 guys in the league), 30 for 2nd tier stars like Klay, Kyrie, Lillard, etc and 20 for glue guys/fringe all stars like Green, Horford, Middleton, Lowry, etc.

José Francisco

Yea couldn't believe watching how many Indiana players would get hands on the ball. Bowman needs back up from GL, dude is great with the ball and provides energy. Sign him.

John Z

every year, one of these down games brings out the funniest alchemy commentaries. guffawed way too many times during this one--had to rewind to get the actual salty content. summers eve, tug, and steve nash were hilarious.

You’re wrong for those Fitz jokes Alch 🤣🤣

Notifications gang. Dlo is steadily raising his stock with performances like these. Hoping he nets a huge fish in the summer for us. Paschall seemed to be stymied by the pacers defense and spellman was rather tentative. Poole had a nice stretch though, that’s encouraging. Chriss outplayed turner and thoroughly impressed me as the starting C. That three ball was the most important shot of the game imo. I’d love to see him take wide open threes.
