Willie can’t smoke on the road... 🤣😂🤣 I totally buy-in on that theory, Alch. From now on, I’m gonna dub Wille as “Weedie” when he’s playing at home and “Willie” when they’re on the road!

I'm waiting for the day when I can hear Athletic Alchemy use the ex-everything line for JP and more specifically ex-Warrior.

Steven Stanley

ha! good catch I have noticed it! My guess would be he does it to hit breaks and not pick the foul..but more likely he is just goof

Athletic Alchemy

fully healthy in the front court he should be getting DNPs...but we know that aint happening! Maybe just give him the first 5 and if he is DOA sit him

Athletic Alchemy

yeah your right Evan was hot, he might have been sitting on the step back..The burch thing was ridiculous tho, dude only dunks. Dont kid yourself about what type control hey have over these players. WCS can do what he wants, its more up to the players to police themselves. 9er game is up

Athletic Alchemy

they on the way!

Athletic Alchemy

Id use him like they are using Chriss and Spellman. Maybe more 5 out in the half court, when he is catching and shooting the 3 ball is there. He can be the roll man, the high post guy..or spot up on the weakside. But most of all he is highly switchable.

Athletic Alchemy

Agreed, he has looked much better initiating rather than finishing. Ky is strong and lands well, its like teaching someone to drive, its not so much worrying about what their going to do. But account for the fact that you cant assume what others are going to do.

Athletic Alchemy

towards the end of the week maybe Friday in Chicago.

Athletic Alchemy

and it seems like he is comfortable on the catch and off the bounce.

Athletic Alchemy

one would hope! Thanks!

Athletic Alchemy

Love it alc! Quick question. Have you noticed willie’s two handed close outs on threes? That seems so inefficient to me. He has the length to potentially block threes if he stretches one hand out.

Paul Byun

When D-lo gets back and maybe even when Steph gets back JP will bring up his 3pt shot percentage. Hopefully since Steph and D-lo will have so much gravity JP will knock down those open shots with confidence. Great breakdown once again!!

Why Kerr won't cut WCS minutes baffles me. Like you said lets develop Chriss and Spellman and give them more minutes. I know with Kerr its sometimes a pecking order when it comes older players but Wille's wet garbage. John Dickinson from 95.7 The Game said something real at the post game. He said that Willie came to Golden State thinking Steph, Dlo and Dray were going to do all the work for him and cover up his laziness. His plus/minus's are horrid. Everybody can see it. I get it. Willie is going to be Willie and we'll have to just deal with it til they can make some moves but it comes to a point where Kerr has to get this dude off the court and develop these young players.

I dont know about that Draymond defensive theory. I honestly believe he was trying and actually playing hard D, but because he's missed a bunch of games, hes still out of shape and just got beat bad by Fournier. And Fournier was already hot so there wasnt much he could do to stop him. As for going for the steal on Burch, I think he was just trying too hard. He was annoyed that he got beat by Fultz so easily, so he tries to make up for it by getting a steal, and just lost. Either way, he looked bad. I mean if he comes out and says he did it on purpose then sure LOL. But we know he wont do that. I think he's lost a step defensively. He looked real slow and beatable in those final minutes. Anyway, since when is Fournier turned into CJ freaking McCollum?? That was annoying, it felt like he never missed the whole night, and then Ross has always been a Warriors killer. Youre right about Poole's numbers looking worse than what his play was, but I was more concerned that he only hit one damn free throw. I feel like he needs to be the ball handler PG to START. Like literally only have him play the first 5 minutes of games just to find himself, then replace him with Burks at PG, then go to Bowman, then have Poole in and out as necessary. We all can see that Poole has got the "stuff". But he doesnt get enough time on the ball, then he thinks too hard to make a play with the little time he has, and it all goes downhill from there. Let Poole start the games. Also for WCS, I would hope the staff keeps him from smoking weed regardless of being on the rode or at home, but Im almost sure its literally just his mood. there are times when he really feels like he wants to play and box out and rebound. Then there are games, its like why am I even here? Theres always that one dude........he is that dude. Kerr & Co shouldnt have to babysit him to keep him engaged. I wasnt too annoyed with the loss. They definitely couldve won, and that final play was perfect until the miss. I was mostly annoyed with what you said: the defense against pick and roll. Everytime they went pick and roll, they got exactly what they wanted and that was frustrating to watch. Are you gonna do the Niners game? Im VERY much annoyed with a couple of things that happened there that Im ready to here your take and discuss with someone lol.

Jansen E

i think our guys are running out of gas. they've been playing over their heads we need reinforcements now in the form of d.lo and loon

Anthony Gray

I'm curious to hear how you would use Aaron Gordon if he were traded to the Warriors. How is his defense? I feel like our ideal line-up next season is Curry, Thompson, Green, Paschall ... and (long, athletic wing who plays shut-down defense and can nail corner 3s). Is Gordon that guy? Is there a better fit we should be targeting or perhaps drafting to fill that role? Or maybe we put Looney in there and slide Paschall into the wing role.

Thomas Ogas

This game was really fun! Even though spelly's impact wasnt felt like it normally is he did have a few big momentum rebounds. I really think Poole does good things on ball. From the few times that ive seen him handle the ball he seems to be able to get to the rim and make good passes to create for others. I think he should be given some more opportunity to create. Watching Ky try and slam everything is always 50/50 cause it could work but you also risk injury being airborne. Excited to see Looney back but i agree that we shouldnt cut any of Spellman/Chriss's minutes.

Tre

We probably could've won the last couple of games if DLo was playing. When is he scheduled to return?

Strong Foru

Fournier is a damn bucket, dude's slept on. I don't want to jinx it but Bowman is shooting like 42% from 3 and is playing really well. I love that he picks his man up full court and is just an overall nuisance on the defensive end, hopefully we can sign him.
