That reporter my goodness 😂😂😂

John Pettus

As usual, Alch’s analysis was spot on.

Doesn’t this make it worse that the Warriors did nothing at the trade deadline? I mean the Mavs were not much better than us and are now looking like favorites to hoist the Larry. It’s been a crazy 2 weeks from Jokić the best basketball player on the planet to Ant the baby MJ and hot take after over reacting hot take.

Rareform

Don’t forget about SloMo another one nobody likes. Lol.

Luke Zhang

Tbh Minnesota got a lot of unlikeable dudes whether they’re soft dumb or both lmao. Obv you got the step brothers in KAT and Gobert but I’ve lowkey not liked McDaniels since that scuffle with Klay and he’s doing dumb shit all game even last series trying an alley oop to himself with the series over. Idk maybe I just don’t like the way he looks all sleepy and shit, tryna be too cool for school but in reality bro is just dense. Aight idk why I’m hating on him so much but I guess I’m salty we’re not getting a competitive series either 😂

If kat can’t attack the rim or hit the 3 at high %, he’s not a second option…same issues i had with the warriors and klay all season…he can’t take those 18+ shots…it’s a dumb offense…just give ant 30+ shots and let him empty his clip…Gobert issues gets magnified every time the offense can’t deliver…he’s not good but not the main issue…

Alch commenting on the reporter in the green dress. She was easy on the eyes. :)

joss gitlin

This was a great breakdown. That reporter, my goodness

Mikey H

Jarell Greer

KAT fooled everyone in that Denver series. This series has shown us what he is always been. Kat's biggest issue has always been his decision-making on both ends of the floor. Think about it. How often was KAT put in a position to really have to "think" in the Denver series? Offensively, all he had to do was shoot 3s or pump fake his defender in the air and drive straight downhill knowing that Jokic won't even put a hand up. On defense, they just had him guard Jokic. Once again, the easiest to way to hide a dumb defender is just having them guard the ball. They don't have to really think in those situations. All they have to do is react and be a presence, which when taking KAT's physical attributes into account, can be very effective. Now in this Dallas series, we're seeing KAT being forced into a lot of decisions. On defense, he has a lot more help responsibility, which is exposing his lack of defensive IQ. And on offense, he is no longer dealing with Nurkic/Jokic at the rim. He is seeing Lively/Gafford. A good offensive player would exploit the help defense to pass to an open teammate. KAT, however, is incapable of that. He is very black and white in his decision-making. Once he makes up his mind to score, he will go headfirst to the basket even if there is a wall of defenders waiting for him. It's no surprise to me that he is shooting like shit.

How do you feel about Moody for Luka Garza? He's in and out of the G-league for the wolves but size is a must for next year.

Kenny Bobby

Facts, and its workin!

Athletic Alchemy

Kidd has the clout and IDGF who you are attitude to tell it like it is.. thats why he is there

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks man!

Athletic Alchemy

its very AAU

Athletic Alchemy

KAT is a goner I think their core is Ant, Naz and Jaden

Athletic Alchemy

he will put in the work, the question is will it be the right work. You see guys like Jaylen Brown putting in the work they want to do instead of the work they need to do

Athletic Alchemy

Wolves were favored coming into it

Athletic Alchemy

Draymond

Andrew Lee

Glad this series exposed Gobert. Hopefully never wins a DPOY again. Pathetic.

Kenny Bobby

Excellent analysis as usual. These playoffs been wild. Mavs gotta have one of the all time mid season trades if they run this thing all the way. Kidd will be known as the great kyrie whisperer. Nash couldnt even get the dude to show up to work.

james v

how dumb are these media voters constantly voting Rudy for dpoy when he's proven time and again that the defense he's great at just doesn't matter in the post season

Billy Roberson

lot of "tip your cap" shots in the 4th, but yeah you're spot on. Lot of finals runs for teams in nba history look just like this mavs run does

Congrats on your daughter Alch. Credit to her and to you also for being an attentive and supportive Dad.

RickP

Always feel Ant's moves are so inefficient. After all the dribbles, boom, 5sec left, and a tough shot or a risky pass.

Mikey H

great breakdown as always. Really appreciate these Playoff breakdowns. Really helps me understand the dynamics of the game from a non dubs perspective. After what u said about the Gobert situation, u think it would be worth it to not have him start being down 3-0? Like u said, it's prob not the best look for him as an asset. I still think the move would be to see what they can get for Kat as he's too up & down & really hasn't added much in this round But then, it looks like Ant is struggling to get to the paint/rim in this series as u have Gobert messin w the spacing or are there other reasons he is takin so many outside shots?

I’m glad ant isn’t getting a finals appearance at 22, zero chance for complacency getting exposed like this, much more excited to see his response to failure rather than an early triumph

MaxShade18

I thought this series would be easier for them than Denver, but the mentality and toughness these guys got is surprising

MaxShade18

Very much agree, Ant often times takes way too long to get going letting the trap come or wasting the shotclock before actually doing anything in the possession. looks like were getting a Mavs-Celtics Finals

JW

Slow mo for the warriors? 10-15 per who saids no

Anthony Berry

The HEIGHT of your powers, I love your analysis, you always speak to what my eyes are seeing and I can't express to myself or others. THAT IS YOUR SUPERPOWER.
