Warriors vs Memphis |gm-11|

No joke McKinnie has great footwork. Pulling his feet to nail the 3 in the corner, staying in bounds off a bad pass and still behind the line on the shot. And just some other pivot foot stuff I've noticed. Dude's got solid fundamentals, and like Looney, it pays off in this system on a grand scale.

It's nice to see Jerebko and Mckinnie come alive and produce so early in the season, as last year was honestly disappointing in terms of production from Omari Casspi and Nick Young. Mckinnie has really good rebounding instincts and is showing he can shoot and knock down open threes. I believe he leads the league in 3P% which is impressive despite the fact that hes not shooting a high volume. Jerebko also hitting threes and playing relatively good D, he doesn't shy away from the physicality which is great to see. And BTW Alch, me being a Steph fan, I like when you call out Steph because it gives me a clearer and more objective understanding of whats going on with him. So thanks for keeping it real like you always do. Look forward to the pregame show on Thursday. My initial thoughts on that game: Draymond's availability will have a major impact on the result. We know what he can do on the defensive end, and his presence against Giannis is important to containing him. But also, on the offensive side, I think Draymond's passing will be especially missed in this game. Milwaukee actually has some lengthy and athletic defenders(Giannis, Middleton, Brogdon, etc.) and Steph's recent funk along with Iggy's absence might be an issue in terms of having enough ball-handlers and play-makers who can find the open man. Just some thoughts.

This season, the Core 4 + Looney lineup has an offensive rating of 122.2, defensive rating of 83.8, net rating of +38.4. He's a top 5 offensive rebounder this season so far. By far, GSW is at it's best when Looney or Draymond is at the 5.

You're acting like he Griz won lmao. We beat them handily in the fourth quarter, although it was tough in the beginning, but thats how a lot of games are going to be.

You have watched enough of my videos to know I’ll criticize anyone. We just don’t agree about that shot. But I’ve definitely cooled on him as a prospect. He’s fine for what he is. I’d hoped he would develop more of a well rounded game rather than just looking for his.

They could get some really bland uniforms...

Yeah, you really gotta watch those Scotch-Irish guys...

Hey, dude, that last comment on Cookie was just to test the waters to see if criticizing him was now kosher, if the Quinnsanity immunity had worn off yet - I have a hard time keeping up with who has and hasn't fallen out of or back into favor around here, it's quicker than Steph's 3-release... ;-)

I can’t wait for this bucks match up. I hope dray is playing because him guarding giannis will be fun to watch

Drew Stanwood

Mckinnie > Mccaw. Just hope nothing goes wrong and he can be healthy all season

New patron. Loved the McKinnie call out on the shuffle step. Was trying to articulate it to friends about what DJ should be doing differently like that to get to the rim faster. Agree with the too much 2-footing. Great content. Keep it up.

Yessir! No days off!

Athletic Alchemy

Could you be any further up your own ass?

LMAOOO caesar stackhouse got me weak. i didnt even look at that joke in a racial way, shows just how soft today society is today smfh

Tony Stark

Haven't watched the whole game, but looking at the game summary, I would say that if we did have a 3rd quarter burst, it's probably been a defensive one. The Grizzlies only scored 15 points, vs. our (not too remarkable) 34 points.

Michel ten Voorde

Shoutout to the oracle fans for still cheering. I nearly fell asleep during the first 2.5 quarters. Could the Grizzlies be any more boring to watch?

Note about the term "reactionary." It's actually a political term, dating back to the French Revolution, or perhaps even the English Civil War, referring to the counter-revolutionary factions that wanted to reinstate the monarchy. Currently, it describes the sort of politics that hails a mythical past of prosperity. Used in a sentence, it would look like, "That joke about Stackhouse would go over really well in reactionary spaces on the Internet." I think you're intending the meaning for "reactive," as in the opposite of "pro-active." I say this all without referring to a dictionary, so maybe misuse has, over time, granted dual meaning to "reaction" apart from usual scientific contexts. I'm also not trying to be a scold or anything; I'm just a bit mindful of the atmosphere that we try to get away from during those 48 minutes of gametime.

Memphis honestly has the Warriors’ number. We’ve lost at least once a year every to them. It doesn’t matter how bad they’re doing, they always find a way to gum up the Warriors. Also hoping Steph bounces back.

Stephen A is the GOAT for his tweet about McKinnie

Alchemy gotta keep it real! If Steph has a bad game, he has a bad game! Ain’t personal! Great shit as always man. But yo, was wondering what happened to NBA Alchemy, then realized they all on YouTube! Love how you basically dropping one video a day between the Patreon and YouTube

Kyle Walker

Loon Jerebko and Zo are all over the glass! I could have gave Cook more love at the end there. But he hasn’t looked good in the little meaningful minutes yet.

Athletic Alchemy

Lol @ SAS mispelling Alfonzo McKinnie. The dude actually tweeted back a correct spelling of his name. This team desperately needs Jerebko and McKinnie to step up from the bench because really only 3 guys on this roster are elite shooters. Thankfully that's what they're doing. The team's % and 3-pt rate has dramatically gone down over the years. West is so damn stacked it's hilarious. LeBron's legacy is starting to become more questionable playing in the West lmao.

Paradox

Much needed

Athletic Alchemy

I’m not ready to say that, he has barely gotten minutes. I am wiling to question his practice habits. It probably means more that S. Is ready to return. Then there patience with JE.

Athletic Alchemy

Some thoughts. We seem to be rebounding much better this year, especially the bench. They had 27 of our 46 rebounds. Are we boxing out more this year? Cook caught fire shooting 80% from 3 hitting 4 of 5. I think this is because he is doing more catch and shoot instead of penetrate and pass. I think he has a hard time passing through the trees of a double team and teams are double teaming him when he penetrates. Having him space the floor works well with our Horns offence where a big has the ball at an elbow. I give Memphis credit for limiting Steph.

Good point I shouldn’t be so surprised Klay is easily getting buckets in that second unit.

Athletic Alchemy

😂 Dipo does move like that.. it’s his neck posture with his stride

Athletic Alchemy

I'm see a growing opinion on Warriors twitter that Bell is going a Patrick McCaw sophomore slump, Also thoughts on Evans being assigned the G-league?

SunniDaZambi

Part of the fun the stars are having this year is clearly because the bench can be relied on to put up a few more points. Jerebgoat and Zo are changing spacing due to their scoring and freeing up the big boys. No wonder everyone is enjoying themselves. It's great to see after Omri and Young spent so long clogging lanes and running with full diapers.

Jacob Evans gone to the gleague finally hopefully he gets his shot together.

Lol @ the Stackhouse/Ceasar thing... I always say that about Oladipo's lowkey chimp like movements on the court...

Nsikan Usen

Not sure if you did Barkley wrong or the ref, but you did someone wrong lmao 😂
