When Luka learn to lead they will be able to finish big games. Thank God he is just a bundle of elite talent and skill. Everything about that last possession was bad. 1. Luka ain't hit another against Wiggs all quarter but tried to 1 on 1 force against him. 2. Klay and Kyrie were shooting much to good not to design the play to feature them 3. We still attacking the rim too soft. We have to put some fear in these defenders above the rim.
Strong Foru
Draymond said it best on his podcast last night he said that clay played well and the warriors won the game he said that was the best outcome for everyone involved

They need people that are experienced and get open. I questioned it at first too. But those guys want the pressure! You wanna get paid the big bucks? Prove you can undergo this pressure.
aznpanda510
It irritated me when klay not happy that they won a few games without him playing much. He always “ we won so I guess.” When he sit on the bench

Steph Curry and Draymond Green will be known as the Tim Duncan and Ginobili. Retired to the team that drafted them. That rare…While Klay Thompson will be remembered like Tony Parker, switching teams. Thanks for the rings but 🤷🏻♂️ we gotta root for our teams first. Curry and dray is always about team first.

I understood that reference.

Why Kerr had Dray, Wigs, JK on the floor in last few secs, when we knew they was gonna foul is crazy and bad coaching.
Johnny Marko
you saying steph gives us religious moments as fans is so apt. that game winner in okc still lives in my head rent free and cemented steph as one of the greatest showmen in sports
k fish
Podz for defense? 😭 he is like our worst defender but yea im more concerned why he had looney in instead of tjd and took so long to put jk back in
k fish
This happens all the time and its horrible baskebtall.....u always attack a mismatch especislly when its a terrible defender that happens to be a star. We didnt even have to search for it they had luka guarding jk, give him the ball and destroy him
k fish
We should of traded him in the offseason, his value will never be as high as it was and was pretty clear he has very limited upside. Good role player but idk why he and others thought he was some scorer on this roster 🤣
k fish
Exactly, and ppl were like he struggled the 1st few games but that was because he was not getting any offense ran for him let alone s screen set for him. So fans are so casual.....if u cant see how impressive it is for kuminga to score as much and as well as he does for a coach i still feel doesnt want him to succeed then u dont know what youre watching
Raze
A good fringe big would be Bruno Fernando from the Raptors.
Salvador
What a fantastic game! Couldn’t have asked for better. I liked how aggressive TJD came out after halftime. I hope Kuminga continues this forward progress . Steph psycho mode!
Diego
If JK had a team where he was the focal point of either the team or even just the bench and they ran plays for him consistently he is an easy 20ppg scorer. He needs the ball like you said and he is learning how to become efficient with out too many shot attempts
Diego
Kuminga is a 40% 3pt shooter
Karim Q
I find Reggie kinda corny a lot of the time. But he ain't bad
RickP
Melton always looks light footed with good foot work. His coverage on defense looks amazing.
AK
Dinwiddie flopping on Looney screens will never not be funny. I'm surprised they called only one of those cos he flopped on a lot of those screens trying to get a call
Russ
JK is starting to find his way in the lineup. We could sure use him taking on the scoring role on the second unit. And as u have pointed out before when he has a big on him and they have to honor his 3 he can just sprint to the rim and elevate to either side and easy money.
Ash
Why do u think Podz is a good defender to sub in at that point
Nicolas Gonzalez
Alch did you hear that Dray said that klay ghosted Steph before the game and that’s why he felt extra juiced up?
Curt Dragomanovich
I think he’ll adjust to his role. He finally got the protective piece off and I think his 3 pt shot will be better.
Curt Dragomanovich
To be honest I have a hard time listening to the Warriors TV team especially Fitz.
Jim
JK picking up Luka past half court in the 2H I thought good strategy to tire him out quicker
Jim
He can smoke a cigarette in the rain and it won't go out. His nose it's like a natural canopy
Jim
Always like Reggie. The original 3 ball dagger god petty king. And delivered one of my favorite lines from an announcer "Mark it, time of death 4:23 left in the 4th quarter"
Shea Johnson
There will never be another Stephen Curry
Bryan Cooper
just joined after being a youtube subscriber for several years!! bout to enjoy some vids!

A lot of people are frustrated that we didn’t trade for a second star with the way Podz is looking rn (aka Lauri) but I will say that Podz slump will improve hopefully with no mask. But why is no one talking about how ass Lauri has been so far this season… I think if we blew up this roster to get Lauri we’d be bottom of the west rn
A L
His defense has been looking better past couple games though. At least the want seems to be there more often.
e40
I was worried that night-night was premature... man, can't believe I doubted our man, Steph.
Neal X
"He knows better than that"
Special K
I read his lips as ‘You were meant to stay here!’ My take is that it was in part a response to some comments Klay made about wanting to go to the place that gave him the best chance to get another ring. Steph has an opinion about that. Psycho Steph unleashed, I loved it.
Luke Zhang
Loved the perfect amount of competitiveness and chippiness. Steph def had some pent up frustration from these past couple years and Dray prob wants to prove his place in this dynasty. Ofc Klay feeling slighted and wanting to prove he’s still got it. A playoff series would be cinematic
Carla Davis
If you look at that grimes 3, steph was not in his landing space. First grimes came forward with his legs a ton and steph at the last minute moved his foot out of the way. There was a slow motion replay that showed grimes getting ready to land on stephs foot and the very last second steph moved it out the way.
Mike Peterson
It's a fussy bit of the restricted circle rules - you can still have offensive fouls in some situations, like this one. The call was technically correct. Probably not overturnable, but it was surprising they called it.
Carla Davis
Steph and Dray was on one last night. I just watched Dray's podcast and he told a story of how he stirred the pot the night before to get Steph upset. He said steph got pissed after klay ghosted him about something.He made sure of it. lol! ht thought steph was too sentimental before that and wanted him in killer mode. If you watvch the game again, there is a possession where Steph is guarding klay and someone comes up to help and he waves them off and gets the stop on klay. I knew it was on when he waved off the help. Dray also said that steph wanted to get a steal on klay so bad. LOL! That was a realy good game. I like this warriors team. There is a lot of hustle and heart with them
Curt Dragomanovich
I thought the TNT crew with Reggie did a good job. Barkley's schtick is getting old.
Ruben Valce
How many more games are you giving podz alc before you kick him out the rotation entirely? He’s been AWFUL!
Alasdair Macdonald
An observation Alch, from watching the games and your breakdowns it seems like they are turning the ball over less frequently with not nearly as many live ball turnovers. The average on the season checks out about the same by the numbers so far but it sure doesn't feel the same as the last few seasons in that regard.
Mikey H
CURRRRY!!!!
Edy
All I have to say is that Luka had no business asking them to challenge that call. And you’re right. The restricted only goes to the back of the rim. His foot is outside the restricted area line, so it might have been the right call.
Nathan Glanzer
We just simply don't have the size to trust we'd be able to rebound when they miss the second shot. They are betting a three vs a free throw, missed second and put back. God forbid they get a three and win... I personally think no fouling is a better call. 10 seconds is far too much time. I'd maybe consider if there's only like five.
Nathan Glanzer
I think he said "you miss it here"
Nathan Glanzer
He had the real dagger with that block if you ask me!
Nathan Glanzer
There was no actual contact around the feet and he jumped forward a fair bit. I think it was a good no call, and if there was contact could have easily been called offensive.
Nathan Glanzer
He can touch his knees while just standing there.
Nathan Glanzer
Also. Wouldn't he have obviously felt the contact to his arm and know it wouldn't get overturned on review??
Allison Hendrix
Your breakdown was great, so many good and informative takes, thank you! It was such a fun game, damn! But, it was the first time I was really frustrated with Podz...seems to have hit that sophomore slump and I hope he can pull himself out of it before they start considering him tradeable!
Nathan Glanzer
I'm actually curious on that. He was BEHIND the restricted. Not on it. I don't believe it actually extends to the baseline...
Ivan
That snarl was definitely from Klay’s playbook
Chip Tingle
His landing feet looked unnatural to me.
Chip Tingle
Especially when he gets in better shape, moves the ball better to maximize that roster.
KareFree
The game was everything I asked for, and so was this breakdown! Appreciate you.
Edy
The key to this game was the challenge initiated by Luka. Had they kept it, that suspect charge call with Gafford and Draymond would’ve definitely been overturned to a blocking foul since Dray was in the restricted. The dubs definitely got bailed out with Steph on that Grimes three to bring it within one. I think they should’ve fouled up three in those final seconds.
Allison Hendrix
I thought that too! Finally after all these years the refs let us have a superstar, home game non-whistle! I'll freakin take it!
Sarcasm 360
Oh wait I got one thing, thank GOD Klay didn’t have a bad shooting performance
Sarcasm 360
I really think these last few games were ok, no bad habits spoiling everything, just usual mistakes
Neal X
I did a double-take and had to look it up when you said Melton's got a 7 foot wingspan. Apparently it's 7'3"! Man's only 6'3" what is that alien shit?!
Ken
Luka's annoying but that man's a hooper.
Currydependencia
Did Steph get a superstar non-call on the Grimes 3?
Andrew Lee
Will go down as an all time favorite game
Andrew Lee
Draymond going for that DPOY!
Joe Zhang
Great game to watch last night. Kuminga off the bench has been great. I think he needs to be our consistent bench scorer, kinda like the poole role, since he likely won't improve his defense this season.
Athletic Alchemy
I will try to keep pointing it out, the dynamic traps and the grades he is giving out. He’s got them locked in
Special K
Alc, I’m a new subscriber this season, and just want to tip my hat, you’re good at what you do. Enjoy the deadpan humor as much as the breakdowns. “Praying on that hair transplant.” 😂Thanks for the work you do to feed my Dubs obsession. As an over the hill hooper, applying lessons learned from your breakdowns to my own game is a surprise bonus, aiding the effort to keep up with the kids 🙂. Keep up the good work.
Athletic Alchemy
Boston or Houston
Athletic Alchemy
🤷🏽♂️
Athletic Alchemy
That’s all you got to say 💀
Athletic Alchemy
Problem is I think everyone is hunting for one. Like trying to find a solid LT on the open market
Athletic Alchemy
I hear you.. all I can think of is he was saving timeouts 🤷🏽♂️ but this isn’t new him being sus down the stretch. The none fouling thing has could of sworn he said he learned his lesson with Utah last year
Frank Ravizza
Think Steph’s head bob was a Klay impression
Athletic Alchemy
Agreed.. it was all so dramatic it was hard to dwell on. But we saw it last year too
Athletic Alchemy
Yeah he has never like hunting mismatches, maybe Stack and Scott’s can have some influence there
Gary
There is a god among us. Steph captures energy in a mythical way. Why did he hell: you wanna stay here after the NUIT NUIT celebration? Was that a diss on klay?
Athletic Alchemy
😂
Ballin Forever
When Klay did that shimmy.. i knew it was over.
Julian
Some bizarre coaching decisions at the end there. Why is there no subs with shooters who can make FTs with a few seconds left in the game, and why is there no foul with 3 points ahead? Just baffling. Epic performance otherwise.
Viet Huy Vu
I noticed Kyrie and Luka was guarding Wiggins and Kuminga a lot yesterday. And if we get either going downhill or post up, it will be a good shot or a foul on one of them and we don't go to it enough. Do you think Kerr is too clean to play in a non-team basketball way like that or is kerr hiding his cards a little bit?
Mike Gonzalez
Amazing game. I really want to see these two in the playoffs. Rivalry!
Dashaya Toney
Good breakdown as always. Not to be negative because I think overall Kerr has been great this year, but late game coaching was bad last night. - 26 seconds left, Dubs up 118-114 and Mavs call timeout: Kerr chooses not to sub in GP2 or Podz for defense and Steph gives up a 3. Steph's been very good on D this year but late game he's been susceptible to mistakes. - 21 Secs left, Kerr chooses not to call a timeout to advance the ball and Curry luckily gets it to Wiggs past halfocourt, near turnover though - After Steph is fouled and makes 2, Dubs up 3 with 10 seconds left and don't foul?!?! Insane. All in all a great win and I think Kerr got caught up in the moment, but something to monitor given the late game disasters last season.
Erin Laskey
Seeing the damage that Blake Lively aka Dereck did to our bench unit makes me think, we can't survive these crafty guards in the playoffs without a big. We can win games but physically with an aging squad, a switchable big would make it easier
Sarcasm 360
Aight, Klay Kyrie and Doncic on the court, play Steph? Kerr: “No this lineup will work.” Anyways, just close with Kuminga and stop thinking too hard, didn’t even try to involve him though.
Elvis
Curry is the goat man it’s that simple at this point
G 2tha P
I know I’m a homer - but this season just has that special feel….
Nathan Glanzer
16 minutes and not even an OT game? Let's go!!
Luke Zhang
NBA not beating the scripted allegations b/c that whole game was storybook to a TEE
Branden Edwards
Steph let Klay have his moment in the 4th and then had to remind him who Big Splash Bro is
Michael kaiser
Loved to see that closing lineup get it done, feels like we’re forming a true identity now that we have a go-to lineup to close out games!
Joshua Davis
Alch, out of the first 11 games which one do you think is the most impressive so far?
BruceWayne
The game was incredible. It was probably the best time I’ve had at Chase.
Calum Stapleton
been waiting for this all day, thank you bro :)
DW
Been waiting on this one! Alc, on the post game radio interview, in addition to dropping an F-bomb, Dray called out Stackhouse for his coaching on D. I'd be interested to see a video breakdown on how the Defense has improved (maybe during the All-star break when you have time).

Let’s go💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
