Kardashian lob?!?! Damn...

Yeah Steph owes me some bread for taking a "dive" lol jk...

Nsikan Usen

So, how long is it gonna take b4 we start having the bench Draymond for Paschall discussion?

William Mitchell

Hey I legit thought we were winning the championship, I was also gonna put money on it 😂

José Francisco

It's crazy Alc the fall from greatness has been painful.

Thomas Joseph

I heard he was closest to returning.

Athletic Alchemy

Lol nah I thought that's what you meant bro. I must've misunderstood. Have we heard of any timetable?

Thomas Joseph

I didn’t say that! You hear that somewhere else?

Athletic Alchemy

Smiley is coming back next game?

Thomas Joseph

Homie said Issa Rae's girlfriends lmaooo

G-man

They’re hard capped But yeaa man next year

Stevie Ray

I can't read Willie's mind at all.

Paradox

I've been sh*tt*n on J.Poole for the last few games but I feel bad for the youngster now. He's bouta snap out of it tomorrow. JP and EP play big in Memphis. Dubs get the win!

Anthony Gray

Exactly! Now...knowing these warriors, they could very well let a guy like Hayes drop 30 on them hahaha. But at the very least make him earn it!!! The entire league KNOWS Reddick only wants to do one thing....and yet here we are pretending like we have no idea how he's gonna attack them.

Jansen E

Not to be a dick but I don’t really care to remember. I grew up watching Tim, Manu and Tony so I remember them.

Kahlil Baker

Yeah that wouldn't have aged well... I also wonder why they haven't tried to pick J Crawford or JR Smith... We could use their talent and vet leadership... Idk it is what it is... Next season bro lol...

Nsikan Usen

You can’t remember David Robinson One of the top 10 centers

Stevie Ray

I wrote a whole article about how the Warriors were still a serious contender with the DLO addition...glad I didn’t try to publish it too soon.

Stevie Ray

Lol yeaa I 100% agree And I think they should offer him a contract as soon as they can cuz I’d love to see him start the rest of the season But I’m pretty sure the their (Front office) goal is to lose every single road game possible Really things are going perfect at the moment in their eyes, we DLO stock up, new asset in EP, and close games, but the worst record in basketball. For them I think as long as we win 1-3 home games things are okay. And like you said before all the luxury seats are already bought and paid for. Next year even with no moves we’re still a contender.

Stevie Ray

I saw a video on Facebook I think it was comparing the Dubs this year to the Spurs when Tim was drafted. I can’t remember who it was that got injured the year before but they were saying the Spurs got that top draft pick because of it and got Tim and became a power house. I mean just imagine with all the development our young guys are getting then next year we are at full health with a top draft pick whose ready to contribute.

Kahlil Baker

Your not alone! I thought for sure we’d be in. I wasn’t sure about the seeding. But They all were so thirsty to have a F you KD season.

Athletic Alchemy

they may be..but I dont think they can afford to hold back..shit! We out here barley surviving!

Athletic Alchemy

he did! But Jru rocks everybody to sleep, stopping him really requires size at the rim.

Athletic Alchemy

lol Im curious to see how this year plays out for Dray..I feel like there is going to be no grey area.

Athletic Alchemy

I think he knows...I think he just can get them.

Athletic Alchemy

Funny I was thinking the same thing as I was saying it...like Im really giving this dude credit for grabbing a rebound....

Athletic Alchemy

He forces it! as Steph ages he really does need to get in his flop bag. I respect how he plays, its honorable. But he could probably be the biggest cheapskate in the league with pump fake 3s if he chose to be.

Athletic Alchemy

If the team doesn't have a big that can dominate...stop sending all the help, its that simple too me. What Jaxon Hayes was going to drop 30? IDK...

Athletic Alchemy

When it warrants it always do!

Athletic Alchemy

I sweat this is the quickest 9 minutes of my life. Alc you need to make these videos like 15 min long.

bereket legesse

So Im now completely sold on the idea that Poole needs to go to the G-league. Now I understand obviously we need every player available right now so that most likely wont happen, but Im talking in the grand scheme of things. The NBA is just too much for him right now. I dont really understand though. Usually players like him are able to shine pretty bright on a terrible team, but I guess the IDEA of the Warriors is what makes the spotlight so big. Even though they suck, the last 5 years has built up such a standard and reputation that he just cant get out of his own head. I still am not one to label him a bust, and he might have a 20pt game very soon, who knows. But right now, the dude is missing far left, right, center, and cant even hit his free throws all of a sudden. Im not disappointed in him, I just feel bad for him cuz I know that HE knows hes better than this. He just has to get back to the simple things of playing like no ones watching. I think the G-league will help with that. That all being said, I dont have much to say on this game. JJ Reddick won the Pels this game. Simple as that. Without all his 3s, the Warriors probably win this game. After so many years of watching effortless shooting from these Warriors, last night was...........painful to say the least. But because we all expect it at this point, its not too bad. Paschall had a nice outing. Bowman came to life a little late. But the inconsistency on defense is the biggest problem right now. I honeslty dont care how poor our shooting is. The DEFENSE remains the biggest flaw in this team. If they can get that together, they could honestly string a couple wins together. I hope Kerr is emphasizing that in practice and in the scouting reports. We are too easily letting guys who only do one thing, do exactly that thing (letting Melli shoot any open 3 he wanted to). When people are missing shots, thats just unlucky and how the game goes. But when we are letting spot up shooters, get to their spot EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. then we have a much bigger issue overall. Get it together Kerr!

Jansen E

Not gon lie I made a $100 bet that gsw would make the playoffs this yr cause I'm like we got the Chef, Dray and Dlo we gucci... Then we shit ourselves opening night and go onto win only 2 games til now and Steph is probably done for the yr lol... Alc... I swore to God that Dray was gon get back to his old form from 15-16 and get that shooting percentage up to at least 34%-35%... But I musta been smokinh the finest bud and it's getting extreme hard defending the guy... Ahhh anywho that Alvin Gentry impression cheered me up thou 😭😭😭

Nsikan Usen

Pretty sure they're already high on Bowman But possibly they're holding back his minutes since he's on the two way and they want to sign him on a multi-year min-deal later this year or in the offseason

Stevie Ray

Holiday got Bowman at the end but for quite a while, Bowman was the little engine that could.

Steven Stanley

Draymond and Poole gotta go y’all

Ravi Dissanayake

10 shots in a quarter isn't going to help Poole get over anything, his confidence is gone and that's not his fault. My constructive suggestion would be, when he gets in a game take the often said suggestion of Jim Barnett and drive to the basket (make, miss, kick), secondly, slow down a bit, don't be in such a hurry always, and lastly, and most importantly Poole's shot package sucks, no floater, no mid range pully, no finish at the rim, and no pump fake draw a foul....that has to change in practice....in fact I'd like to watch his free shoot around practice. Literally, at this point, Poole doesn't know what is a good shot for him and the shots he has probably relied on in the past have abandoned him, so he's like now what? You can see it in his play. He needs a self reevaluation of his game and to learn what is a good shot for him on the NBA level.

Steven Stanley

I keep forgetting we have those dudes. And Looney! Lol.

Ciara Dean

Also, as you said, Willie's effort this game was great. Kinda sad that's the bar for him at this point with his capabilities. I was actually happy to see him so engaged on both ends. Maybe he didn't show up to this game stoned 👀

Ciara Dean

As I said on Twitter during the game, Paschall is getting more respect from the refs than Steph ever did😂 It's crazy to me. And I really do hope we hold on to him and don't use him as a trade piece any time soon. I'm excited to see what he can become.

Ciara Dean

Ahhh cant wait for the smiley and evans to come back

Tony Stark

absolutely! I did a doc piece on him this summer and that was my conclusion as well. But at a certain point you would expect som pride and competitive spirit to kick in...not to mention the motivation of money.

Athletic Alchemy

I was listening to the latest Warriors Huddle Podcast and they brought up a good topic on why WCS’s lack of effort in some of these games. They had a beat writer Connor Loterneau on and he was talking about how he did an interview WCS in his hometown after he got signed with Warriors. In the interview Willie was talking non stop about high school football career and how he wanted to got the NFL but he didn’t make it because he was just too tall. In the end, he came up with the assumption that Willie is that kind of player that likes basketball but doesn’t love it.

Jason Williams

Paschall is a keeper. I'm almost convinced about Bowman. Rather, at this point, I am, as long as we give up on Poole and get something in return (too bad it ain't K. Nunn if only for trade bait, you know?) A shooter who can't shoot? vs. a PG who can shoot, make plays, and despite being 5'2", can also defend for 94"? I'll take that, thanks.

Owen Salisbury

Its getting bad! I feel like Buke is trying to hard to be like Fitz and on top of that he is jumping all over his calls, just flat out interrupting him.

Athletic Alchemy

He is! you catch him in the Mandalorian too!

Athletic Alchemy

Loving the corny call of the game awards Alch. I heard this one coming, but there were so many qualifiers, not sure how you choose.

Daniel Fries

good call...its a sign he is trying to move before he know what he wants to do.

Athletic Alchemy

"Forced into action. Jackson..." I see what you did there. You grow up with that movie, too? Carl Weathers is an underappreciated actor.

Owen Salisbury

If we keep games kinda close, EP gets buckets and GRIII doesn't fumble easy passes, then I'm satisfied. Seems like Jordan Poole's feet move the opposite direction to where his body moves. Dude looks straight up out of control out there..

Ronnie Meade

I know the fans feel like we owe it to the core 3 to run back...but Im say it again! ...What if lets say...the Knicks are like will give this years pick top 3.. and Idk Barrett for Steph. So now you are looking at Dlo, two! top 3 picks, Ep, Barrett, Klay and Dray...

Athletic Alchemy

Poole isn't going to help until next year at the earliest. To make sure it's next year, and since we're not winning anything anyway, we might as well play him as much as we can, and not waste our 2-way guy's 45 days.

Owen Salisbury

Orlando!! thats hilarious! They have a bunch of like players..Aminu, Gordon and Bamba all cant really shoot enough but are good defenders. I have always heard they want Dlo

Athletic Alchemy

"Kardashian Lob" 🤣🤣🤣

thatmattc

I dont see Giannis asking out..But I think they only way would be if we landed the #1 pick, dlo is not near enough. it would look like 1st pick, dlo and EP.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah, I thought Poole was gonna figure something out but i'm with everyone else now..send him down. EP out here looking like Zion light with a jumper. His development is coming along great. I hope Ky starts trying to get more aggressive offensively and that Draymond starts attacking the rim more instead of settling like you said. Good stuff Alc!

Tre

I'm starting to realize and starting to get worried that, after all the KD blowback, it's actually gonna be hard to get high profile free agents until basically Steph is out of his prime or even retired. We might be forced to live through drafts and trades until then... That is, all the free agents who have that fake-machismo samurai-honor act going on. (You know the types)

Major Powers

Heat gets Draymond - Golden State gets Adebayo, Dragic and Derrick Jones. Would you go with it? The magic supposedly have an interest in Green too, it'd be interesting if we could somehow trade him for Mo Bamba, since he barely gets minutes even when healthy.

José Francisco

This will sound crazy, but do you think there's a way we could get Giannis this summer? Because I know for a fact that the bucks ain't winning shit after giving Bledsoe that contract and letting Brogdon walk. I think Giannis could request a trade, and it just so happens him and Dlo basically have the same contract. It's not like Giannis to do such a thing, BUT, this season is the perfect excuse to join Golden State, We're literally the worst team in the league right now, so it wouldn't look THAT bad if he joined, and he's still young enough to return to the bucks and win the championship he promised Lebron style.
