GSW vs MIN |GM-9|

Glad to have these videos to watch bc life be making me miss these games at times. 😅 But the fact that WCS is making me think about playing Spellman over him is all you need to know that he's gonna be the most fustrating player to watch this year. Dude looks 3 steps too slow and processes shit even slower.

William Mitchell

The front office will not think about trading steph, Klay, (maybe dray tho) they definitely shipping D'Angelo. The writings on the wall. I'd like to see them run this squad back next year with a few peripheral tweaks in the offseason. D.Lo is no Steph Curry tho. 💯

Anthony Gray

That's right-on Alch, I mean, I love Klay, I like Curry, Draymond is a loveable irritant... but 10 years from now, we're still going to be loving the Warriors while Dray is living off his Smile-Direct billions, Klay playing with Rocko's offspring, and Steph is cooking in his actual kitchen with Ayesha. Keep the team relevant, not the players.

Mitch Moyers

I know I know....

Athletic Alchemy

Not if we are right back at the top the league...

Athletic Alchemy

Lacob and those boys will lose a ton of respect if they send Steph packing. I think it would be a dumb decision. Steph is a media darling. The warriors brass will never live it down.

Anthony Gray

I have to see way more from Dlo before I really have that take.. That said, those that know me well, I’m team over everything. There is no such thing as a lifer too me. If we can get an AD like haul you listen.

Athletic Alchemy

Alc you gotta go with that take. After two games of D.Lo balling you ready to throw away all that SC30 built???? Come on man!!!! He's a lifer and the main reason why you have this channel!

Anthony Gray

draymond ain't trash. we all know offense is not his forte, he needs some help on D and needs his shooters back. D.Lo plays basketball like a snail. Him and Dray can't coexist. D.Lo needs to be a 6th man.

Anthony Gray

Don't get carried away Alch!

Freddie D

good point! Hoops is my therapy and workout..cant live with out it!

Athletic Alchemy

A lot of the time when I would turn on a BK game late he would be on the bench. Then he looked bad in the playoffs. But there is so much nuance to his game. I agree Dray is obviously more likely guy to be moved, but for what? what do you get back for him? Dlo would have to really impress, but the reality of it is.. You consider this a lost season for Steph, he will be 33 next March. Im not saying you shop him..but if you can get a kings ransom for him, I think it will be considered.

Athletic Alchemy

Glad you finally see just how good D. Lo is but Steph is absolutely not gonna even be considered as a trade option, lol. Get Draymond’s garbage ass outta here

Trading away curry? You take that back. 🧐

D-Lo clearly wanting to show up KAT-- as you do with your close friends, right? It ain't the strangers you wanna blow up on necessarily...it's the guys you can talk about it with for ages. Man, I need to get my ass in shape and even just start shooting again. Playing ball used to be so much fun in Jr High and High School, and then I just kinda stopped.

Owen Salisbury

I started liking him as well. I’d love to see him with Kaly.

Ryosuke Kimura

🙏🏽

Athletic Alchemy

Better the game gets, better the breakdown we get. Awesome vid!

I wont be surprise if the warriors pull another monta ellis. Even though this time the situation is drastically different

Kevin Chan

I should have known I couldn’t dare suggest that to dubnation 😀

Athletic Alchemy

But D'lo still gotta go lol I like what he's doing right but idk it's not really dubs style. He can certainly keep increasing his trade value though I'm all for it.

Thomas Joseph

Crazy if this year truly becomes a blessing in disguise.

Athletic Alchemy

I’m having way more fun watching these kids than I thought 💯

Athletic Alchemy

lol did not expect that last sentence

Yigit Giray Asik

I think you got it right on the nose with Willie idk what's going on with him if not exactly what you said Alc

Thomas Joseph

I've always loved DLO's style, glad that you've come to see the positives he can bring towards this team. His defense has always been underrated due to lacking effort at times but if he can be consistent he'll bring a lot of value

Vlad

sheesh! I know I am getting carried away with one game..and I said as much ! but to me no one is a lifer..theres just what's best for the team. Maybe Ive been hardened as kid watching us go through prospect after prospect. But thats how look at my teams.

Athletic Alchemy

Right! Thats still the plan going forward....

Athletic Alchemy

you missing the point...Im not talking in right nows! Hypothetically IF he is going to ball out....The option needs to be considered.

Athletic Alchemy

Im just waiting to see how much patience Kerr is going to have with WCS..Lee looks like he is off balance every time he puts the ball on the floor.

Athletic Alchemy

Every time Im ready to cuss out Lee he makes a play..watch tonight he will somehow have a redeeming performance. Spelly more bonehead plays the Javale!!!! come on now!

Athletic Alchemy

Lmfao 5 videos ago you talkin bout shipping out DLo and now it's keep him over Steph smh. You great Alch but that's a clown ass take

Dashaya Toney

This was the hope right! Have to admit im kinda shocked at the early return

Athletic Alchemy

I like D'Lo but I think we should flip him, we got some good rooks and vets, if we fill up the missing spots with some key players in a good deal, next year we could try and make a run for it.

Ezra Abbey

I know I know! but I think he would let Steph if he was playing with this roster too...IDK

Athletic Alchemy

Yo Alch you know I'm all for your conspiracies and takes but you can't be saying that. The Chef is a lifer and a goat, I don't give a fuck if D'Lo averages 50 a game, Chef ain't going nowhere. And just to let you know I'm not one of those Steph homers (some Warriors fans are hella over the top with Steph) but I'm just saying, no fucking way.

Ezra Abbey

I think use EP in the PnRs... obviously he didn't get the touches, but I dont think it was a pace thing, because he has done most of his damage in the half court thus far.

Athletic Alchemy

On point as usual..the hardest thing to do sports is no when to hit the reset! will see! I know im carried away right now

Athletic Alchemy

no...all valid points! To be fair I dont think Dlo takes all those shots with a full NBA roster. I think people are kinda of blinded by Steph's brilliance and how likable he is. All things come to end! I have also seen teams hold on to past glories and the eventual rebuild takes an extra 4-5 years..just look at Nash and Kobe. At the same time you will have fans who support that, If anybody has earned the right to ride it to the wheels fall off with the franchise they built its steph! I get it! Bu t overall your right this one game.. it would take a all star season form dlo to start thinking that way.

Athletic Alchemy

It's a prisoner of the moment take. We know players like that (cough...dude with a beard), who will put up 50-60 points all night and we know how it ends. Sure, we can be the next Brooklyn nets and have a few great games every year based on individual performance and then fade away when defenses focus on that one guy. I'm perfectly open to trading any superstar if it leads to more winning, but we have all seen, one superstar ain't gonna get you anywhere and what other star is gonna wanna play next to a guy who takes 40 shots a game and won't move without the ball. I think we should keep him and alternate him and Steph with the second unit. But again, i'm no expert so take everything i say with a grain of salt.

Vinay Pisini

Glad you're finally on the DLo hype train. Keep him or trade him, he's good for us. WCS was good for about 3 minutes. I don't really want to see him on the floor. He needs to earn his minutes. DLee, I don't know what's the deal with him. His BBIQ is average at best, and his handling is absolutely abysmal, yet somehow our coaches let him handle way too much. Sometimes he acts like he's our backup point guard. Apparently he can play. I just don't understand why he's got such a long leash.

THIS is what we expected from DLo. Thank goodness. This is exactly what I wanted from him. And him giving about 60%ish percent effort on defense. There were definitely huge lapses in defense from him (and everyone pretty much), but hey I'll trade 60% defense for 52 pts every night. About time he made himself look worth that contract. And the best part was that he did this against Minnesota. Im still all for trading him while his value is high or continues to rise. On to the actual game....how many goddamn games are we gonna lose due to total ineptitude on boxing out and rebounding? Like seriously. Thats now what...like 3 games they couldve won if someone could just catch a damn ball or put a body on someone while the ball is in the air??? So frustrating to watch. Like you said in a previous video Alch, Im willing to give Poole a 20-25 game cushion to really get a feel for his shot and come into his own. Its not looking good if Im being honest, but Im definitely holding out hope for him. He has potential and you can just SEE him wanting to be really good. His playmaking continues to improve and is the best aspect of his game. Sure he's good for a lob every now and then and some serviceable rim protection, but Ive just about had it with WCS. That dude looks like a tatted up, joint smoking Damian Jones. The dude is useless at rebounding, and picks up cheap fouls like theyre dollar bills. I counted 4 times in the game where he just stared up at the ball and halfassed raised his hands to pretend to try to grab it. This dude was supposed to be our starting center and now Im 100% convinced he should be the 3rd guy off the bench at the 5. Chriss and Spellman show way more than him. Im extremely disappointed in WCS. I understand he expected to be alongside Steph and Dray, and Im sure he'd look a lot better with them. But seriously, its not like his teammates are giving up and halfassing it, so what makes you so damn special? The dude looks like trash 80% of the time. I cant stand Damion Lee. I dont care how he continues to score (sporadically at best). The dudes IQ is just not there and he continues to foul 3pt shooters and get lost on defense. Really shows you how intelligent Steph Curry is as a defender, because he doesnt even make half the stupid plays that Lee does. Lastly, Im slightly coming around to Spellman. He still makes boneheaded plays that piss me off way more than Javale ever did, but his motor, scrappiness, and fight are fun to watch. I just hope he's able to hone his actual skills so he can resemble more of a fat Montrez Harrell in the pick and roll, rather than a dumb, oversized Pat Bev with little skill.

Jansen E

DLo kind of reminded everyone why he’s an All-Star. I love Steph but he isn’t getting younger and injuries are accumulating. Your spot on when you said Kerr couldn’t play that harden iso ball with Steph. DLo pace is just so more sustainable and last nights his defense nice. I think the front office see’s DLo as a future piece for the Dubs. Especially after the show last night.

Jason Williams

lol let me clarify! The goal is still to raise dlo's value and flip him for a piece that fits with our OG 3. Now..IDK bout yall! But last night was eye opening. I didn't know he could get off like that! For those saying he and Steph can coexist, Last night was a perfect example why there would be extreme diminishing returns. Don't be naive to the business side of things. Im getting way ahead of myself here. But if dlo has a monster season (in the West) you dont think Joe and Bob would have to say "Man he is 8years younger" what could we get for a 32yr old Steph" Again ! do I think thats how its going to play out? No...But if Dlo is going to prove me, and everybody else who thought he was a fake Allstar wrong...this will be discussed.

Athletic Alchemy

So Steve Kerr will let DLo do this, but Curry doesn't have the green light to carry this team like that. Ok Kerr.

james v

Alch: "not getting carried away" Also Alch: "trade Curry tho??"

james v

I think D'lo's slow methodical game hurt P offensively and with him being our 2nd or 3rd best scorer on the team I would have liked to see Kerr get him more touches, maybe something out of timeouts...Or do you think Kerr should stagger P and D'lo minutes?

SunniDaZambi

lol yall are wild! That was Steph slander?!

Athletic Alchemy

bro if the warriors trade curry we're gonna riot lmao

Thanks for highlighting d'lo's d in this video. There's no doubt about his offensive talents. He's an amazing scorer, only 23, and it's getting better. We just need to know that he can get it done on defense and play within our system. I still don't like him in our system, but if he can bring it defensively, there is a legit argument to be made for rebooting around him, pash, Poole... Because that trio could be amazing in three years. Of course, we can keep everyone through 2021, enjoy two glorious years then trade away the old stars then.

Thomas Ogas

bruh don't start with that steph slander

Sevrin Weiss

Not sure I’d ever agree on trading Steph but maybe hand the team to DLo in 2022-23?

Paul Hanson

I'm pretty sure he took more shots than anyone since Monta Ellis

Paradox

I love this game from Dlo... Only thing is at one point he took 11 out of 12 of the team's shots and the ball was only in his hands and noone else's... Idk I kinda feel like even if he's the one the shots are going to, at some point lets the other players get the orange to you so they can feel somewhat involved... All in all, I feel like we had this game and just kinda fell apart in the clutch smh all good thou...

Nsikan Usen

I'm excited to see what this team looks like at the end of the year when everyone is back. I don't know if we will make the playoffs but this will be a strong team at the end of the year

martin pattison

Even tho we lost i found this game more fun than any game we played last year in the regular season

Yeah YT gives me all sorts of trouble especially the longer videos. There has got a be a way to mirror it to your tv through a third party app

Athletic Alchemy

Props to DLo for taking on the one man army role.

Paradox

Hey Alch, do you mind putting the YT link in as an alternative, can't stream Vimeo onto my TV. Or does YT take them down immediately??
