A clips channel is very different from someone uploading full length stuff. And Hasan's channels all have his links on their bio's, funneling viewers back to his twitch, Twitter, etc.

@Major P - Are you the one stealing his shit?
Major Powers
Not saying Alc should do this, but there is another way to think about it: if someone is ripping the content and posting it and getting thousands of views it can actually be good for more exposure, more eyeballs heading to the patreon and the main channel. I know Hasan Piker (controversial political twitch streamer) lets what he calls his Hasan Clip Industrial Complex post all his stuff without copyright strikes and he thinks it just brings in more subscribers and viewers at the end of the day. Alc another tack would be to reach out to the channel, tell them you're ok with what they are doing so long as they link everything back to you. Sometimes imitation (or just reposting) is the sincerest form of flattery.
Athletic Alchemy
Thank you Ivan

Alch should copyright claim against that channel, nice catch.
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
Hey @Alch. Looks like someone is stealing your content. Stumbled on this video today - https://youtu.be/rLIXyelfjPw?si=MV2F9m3u9toSh_A_

The ability to hit 3's makes up for a multitude of sins in the modern NBA. He won't be anywhere close to a Wemby or Chet on defense, but if he can take confident shots on offense, it makes him playable, which is the key thing -- it won't be like we're throwing the game to put him in to get reps, and hopefully when he gets reps, he'll improve quickly.
Robert Mutch
nice analysis. great to hear all the little insights i would normally miss.
Ben Whitaker
Post is not ready yet. He needs a year to get used to nba speed and athleticism. Love where we are at tho.
Neal X
Injuries always happen, and so do Draymond suspensions, his opportunity will be there.
Neal X
Which is why Wiggins is so important, people forget how solid his rebounding is. Podz in the 2nd unit, and of course Looney wherever he slots in.
Neal X
If Quintin Post starts hitting 3's like that and can just have good fundamentals in the post, staying vertical like you say, I'm almost not sure we DO need another big man. Pretty exciting to say but I like all the pieces we have, now it's just a matter of figuring out the best combinations. Letting some of these guys go later on almost feels like it runs the risk of messing up the good vibes we have going on, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how things develop.
Natto Santo
Looney mid range is now a weapon. For this team, it will help fill the gap. Now rebounding should be our big focus. If we grab decent amount of offensive rebound every night, we have a chance to beat OKC, BOS and NY
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
Talking myself down: Defensively, maybe he ends up kinda like Anthony Edwards - sluggish at first, but dogged as he begins to take more ownership in the team. Iirc, one of his best stretches as a two way was that homestand in December 2022 when Steph & Wiggs were both out and the team needed Ws to save the season. During those games, when the team really needed him, he was really flying all over the place in crunch time.

I just don’t see it for Bronny, but I hope I’m wrong. A lotta run in the G league seems right. Your spotlight on Moody mistakes are unlikely to reach the less knowledgeable part of the fanbase that reacts to points and highlights. If he isn’t stopping Bronny…
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
That’s what sucks for Moody. Two seasons ago, playing Lamb/Jerome over Moody/JK was bad. Last year, making Moody respect his elders was bad. This year, Kerr is ready to go full meritocracy … but the team actually has guys who just should probably play ahead of him on merit.
Daniel Fries
😬😂
Allison Hendrix
Uber eats drivers!! Damn! That funny.
Athletic Alchemy
I’m look into it 🙏🏽
Valantur
Yeah, makes me wonder of there's something else going on with him
Athletic Alchemy
Don’t ask rhetorical questions here Daniel😆
Athletic Alchemy
Did he!?
Valantur
Hey Alch, was Plowden waived from ATL? Would love to hear your thoughts
Jordan Smith
Sooo ready to get things started. Though Steph dealing with any hand stuff is worrying, I think we can at least beat trash teams when he sits unlike last year.
Daniel Fries
Post or Wiseman, who you got?
Daniel Fries
Came here to make a Post/Witeman I mean Wiseman comparison
Athletic Alchemy
agreed.. and for him its probably the difference between being a fringe star who makes the "snubbed AS list" and being a perennial AS
Jimmy Ji
This team looks so much younger on defense without Klay and CP3. Do you think there's a chance for us to man-up on defense instead of switching everything with Curry off the floor?
deb m.
Hey Unc - MAILBAG Q: What situations have you seen that are the most/least coachable? 2 categories - A) coming into the league, B) veterans. Love your work!
deb m.
No, their bigs coach died and he’s hard to replace 🥺
deb m.
How much is JJ and how much is that crap-ass Pelinka?
Athletic Alchemy
thats good to know.. if he stays healthy he is going to get paaaid
deb m.
Ditto. K. Perk and Legs have been saying this the last few days, I was stunned. Perk never has anything nice to say about the Dubs. He’s not giving praise unless he’s really seeing something. Validation of my perception.
BruceWayne
Melton is on a full NTMLE vs the TPMLE DDV was on. The team has a lot more room to retain him.
Nathan Glanzer
Win or lose this team will be fun to watch.
Nathan Glanzer
They've never had a good big vet to teach these young bucks the ropes of the NBA post.... Get Dwight in there for the Haslem role
Nathan Glanzer
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the highlights earlier. It reminded me of the Shane Gillis joke where he says the white guys have just been setting Hella screens and boxing out hard as hell ever since they played with their first black guy in 8th grade hahahhaa.
Nathan Glanzer
I like how he's attacking a bit on the dribble. He's got great ball handling for his position.
Connor H
Loondawgs jumpers always been wet. He just didn’t have confidence to let it fly since he got to the league. Bro looked like a Walmart KD in his college mixtapes lol. That middy is silky though. Reminds me so much of the Og David west
BASEDTEXAS18
Those screens from post looked real good James wiseman needs pay attention
Athletic Alchemy
I thought it was coach able.. but im starting to think its not.. Part of it is a lack of flexibility the other is a lack of creativity
ntare rugamba
Kuminga needs to focus on his defense and awareness in general…the leap from good athlete to great 2-way bball player is what kerr is looking for…not a basic second scoring option….his ceiling is way higher than that…maybe the contract talks got him confused
BruceWayne
Kerr is part of it. Given enough game reps, I think Moody fixes it.
Christian Oblena
on the TJD finishing stuff, do you think it's more of a thing they can coach out of him to be more dynamic and have better technique around the rim? or is it maybe a situation where his finishing will probably be awkward more often than not, but if it goes in it's fine? like how Kevin martin or shawn marion had awkward releases but made it work
Erin Laskey
Moody's main issue on defense is reading and moving around screens. We understand that he inherently has slow feet, but he can make up for it with anticipation—something he hasn't improved on in three years into the league. It actually screams out on tape if you watch warriors game replays a lot. It must be frustrating for Kerr
Kenny Bobby
PRESEASON GODS!!! lol fun game. im ready coach!
Offtopic K
This might be JJs first real coaching decision that could decide his fate in LA.. this was an abomination from potential rotation pieces on LA. He should sit them like Kerr would do and make them prove they deserve to be in the lineup
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
Also, I don’t think Kerr has said Moody’s name once this preseason without immediately launching into his “we’ve got twelve guys and someone’s gonna be disappointed” speech
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
Barring injury, Moody’s minutes are fucked. Everyone ahead of him has a “thing” that they bring at an elite level. “We need shooting”, “we need defense”, “we need playmaking”…in which situation can you, in good faith, say Moody would be the best option off the bench?
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
Increasingly worried that JK’s stint as a warrior is going to end in disappointment. Kerr is just not impressed by that man’s motor and I’m losing faith JK’s gonna ever change his mind.
Athletic Alchemy
probably some insight into their plans for him
Athletic Alchemy
some of these other teams been coasting the whole preseason, I think we gonna run folks out the gym early in the seaon
Athletic Alchemy
I feel you, I caught the second half after a movie
Athletic Alchemy
yessir!
Athletic Alchemy
thats the hope! I know he is known for his core work coming from hockey
Athletic Alchemy
right! somthin ridiculous
BruceWayne
Game plan is to let it fly. Last year, it was Steph and Klay have the green light. We have a handful of above average shooters on the squad this year.
BruceWayne
They even rested Knecht, who might’ve at least added some excitement on the Lakers side.
Anthony Berry
7 of our first 10 on the road, and we have that baseball series at home with the Pels, week 2, think it is Tuesday/Thursday but don't quote me.
Kahlil Baker
I dont know what it is but it seems like everyone is letting that ball fly. Is it possible that it’s a direct correlation to Klay being gone? Last couple years it seemed like everyone was so worried about making sure Klay was happy and passing up shots for him.
Mike Gonzalez
Looking forward to the regular season starting just to see what this team can actually do.
Old Runner
I pretty much stopped watching after the first half, I'm just ready for the season, I feel like this warriors team is gonna be special
Branden Edwards
I'm not super confident this new playstyle is a recipe for a deep playoff run, but I am confident it's a recipe for fun basketball. Looking forward to your coverage this season
Maksim Petrushin
Its officially 7-0 start or bust
BruceWayne
Celebrini will keep Melton healthy.
Stevie Ray
Over, for sure
