GSW vs LAL |GM12|

I think Poole’s poor shooting could also be because he is playing so sped up..it looks like he is still getting used to NBA speed. Like everyone has mentioned his form looks good. He just may be one of those guys who needs more time. As far as Dray goes I need something..I need him to probe the defense more since the shot isn’t looking so good. Try and become even more of a distributor after taking it to the rim a few times...will that happen? Probably not. I’m still excited to watch all these guys develop!

Poole needs to take his ass to the G league. Let’s pick up Crawford or another vet over that kid. He’s a couple years from being NBA ready.

Alex deB

I think Dray was picking on Cook for getting locked down during the game...looked like he was imitating him or something. Cook def wasn't here for it LOL - I'm sure him and KD talked trash about Dray last night...

Cook no longer playing with KD thanks to Dray

Daniel Fries

idk if you've seen the other angle from that interaction between dray cook and javale, but cook looks hella salty at dray. Wonder if there was any beef.

Sevrin Weiss

Is there a way we could get embiid?

Kurtis Forge

He's done no? Should bring new blood in after the all star break

Stevie Ray

Btw, I’m liking KAT these days. He ain’t backing down from a fight!

Paul Byun

What I said about Draymond after last game still stands. Id prefer it if Dray were just shut down for the season, cuz theres no point in him taking another injury. However, Im also fine with him playing cuz he needs to build chemistry with these young guys and stay in shape. So if he's gonna be out there, he better fucking work man. I know hes the vet of the team. He has the credentials for that leadership role and all that, but that doesnt excuse him for thinking he's above everyone else and gets to throw tantrums and attitude around and suffer no consequences. Whatever. I knew they were gonna lose this game so I didnt get too upset with it. There are things that did bother me though. 1) Why is it that whenever any team plays the Warriors, they all suddenly shoot 70% from 3? Like I know there were some misses, but watching the game, it literally felt like LA never missed a 3 and it was so annoying. Bumass Jared Dudley was stuntin on us thinking he was Reggie Miller or something. I just hate seeing all these sub 30% dudes who never shoot 3s, suddenly light us up. 2) Ive said this before and I'll say it again, Paschall NEEDS to stop with the two foot jump-stop dunking. He's going to get blocked everytime from now on because teams picked up on that. Lebron knew what he was going to do every time. Although I do love that Paschall wasnt at all afraid or intimidated around him. 3) Poole is a baller and can be a 22ppg scorer in these league. Right now, its really all just in his head. Theres nothing wrong with his shot or anything. He's just thinking too much. I didnt really care for this game as I knew they were gonna lose heading in, with or without Davis playing. But goddamn we need some HEIGHT on this team. Having WCS has proven to be useless, and Chriss and Spellman, no matter their motor, arent big enough to compete with McGee/Howard/Lebron. And imagine if Davis was in, it'd be even more.

Jansen E

Maybe WCS is going through Weed rehab. He looked much better this game. I agree with you alc. We need more defensive strategy.

Paul Byun

Do you think Kerr is focusing less on defense in order to tank?

Slater

Although the game was already over, I just knew Pashcall was going to have a moment against LeBron. Dude just has the juice. Drays body language is starting to piss me off.

Ronnie Meade

Im not expecting them to be good defensively. But this is just ridiculous! He needs to at least get them all on the same page to have a chance.

Athletic Alchemy

After my initial panic when Steph went down. I realized in theory this could actually mean the breakdowns are even more useful! I think we all have forgot about Evans a bit. He was looking like he was going to be the first guard off the bench.

Athletic Alchemy

It is..but I think we are going to have some really fun battles as well tho...

Athletic Alchemy

Steve needs a hiatus away from the team. He looks more worn out than anybody else

Ravi Dissanayake

Alch, I am really getting my money's worth this year as a Patron! There are going to be lots of games like this -- games that I know I don't want to spend 2.5 hours watching, but I really want to know how it went. Your breakdowns the day after give me what I need, and save me a lot of precious time and emotional energy. With that being said, I also know that these games aren't all that telling -- we don't have enough players to put the "right" roster on the floor. The right mix of guys and minutes. We're just hoping that individual guys can get something out of live game action. We'll know a lot more when we have Looney and Evans back -- we'll see if we can actually play NBA-level defense. Because this level of defense right here is pretty fucking aweful.

Thomas Ogas

Bowman swatting Cook was a silver lining at least lol

Luke Zhang

He likes the texture!

Athletic Alchemy

💯 .... and miss me with the “there are a lot bigger things than basketball” line. You can only use that every once in a while.

Athletic Alchemy

If Draymond gonna half ass it the rest of the year then he needs to sit down somewhere and stop taking minutes from Paschall. I'm not interested in watching a grown man sulk and feel sorry for himself all season‼

SunniDaZambi

Lebron's Loofah, LOL!!!

Alon Altman

My bad! I have been doing a lot of that in the early season.

Athletic Alchemy

I don't think JP is a spaz, he's a charter member of the mason's union. Seriously, JP has the perfect example of how you don't need to play fast to play effectively unless he hasn't noticed how effective D-Lo. Is at a very deliberate pace, but how could that be?

Steven Stanley

Yo wise uncle Alch, could you put some arrows or mark ups on the screen when you are doing your break downs? As a new player/fan of the game it would help me understand your breakdowns more. Love the videos, keep up the great work.

Wiley Buchanan

I keep telling myself we are gonna be alright and it's a transition year but damn, this is tough to watch.

Vinay Pisini

I can’t find anything wrong with his shot when he is open and set... I’d have to be standing right next to him to really see what’s going on. Hand placement and some of the smaller details. But yeah! I expected him to break out of it by now.

Athletic Alchemy

Poole is shooting exactly 28.2% from both 2s and 3s. Interesting and concerning.

Paradox

The league is trending back to playing big. Dlo and Dray are the trade pieces..

Athletic Alchemy

I thought so 😏

Athletic Alchemy

Other than Steph Klay and Loon what are we missing on this roster Alc? Who needs to be moved and for what kind of player to make us competitive in this new NBA?
