Plyometrics… speed ladder, jump rope, box jumps

lol its honestly crazy poole gets a better whistle then steph. Love to see mood workin and poole gettin some confidence back. lol the ewok roast works too well. Great stuff as always.

You should do a video someday on draymond’s impact during this whole dynasty run. It’s been pretty loud recently with people saying he hasn’t contributed, steph carrying his legacy, we couldve won championships without him, etc.

I was worried that we would lose this game because we couldn't make stops. That half of Q4 had me nervous. 😅 Maybe sitting JP in some closing games in the past month help him refocus again. Glad to see him not commiting those terrible turnovers again.

Bres

Love SGA but until this year he never made a season. Any idea why he was able to this season?

Athletic Alchemy

I understand. I feel like pretty much all main stream media doesn't really say what they thinking. I take pride in being honest in my takes, So I have to be prepaid for push back. I am cynical lol

Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

Alch, to be clear, I don’t think you’re wrong to cover the Wiggins story. Your job is certainly journalism-adjacent and you should cover the relevant news about our team. I was specifically disagreeing with your take. I felt it was a little bit cynical and I felt like you made some assumptions based on hearsay. All that being said, I do not think you should be canceled or anything like that. I meant it as constructive criticism, as a fan of your work, and someone who had a 28 year long career in a very front facing profession. Sometimes we have strong opinions and we stand by them and that makes us have to eat a little crow now and then. I still have a ton of respect for you and what you do. I hope you keep spitting from the heart

Strong Foru

My primary concern is whether or not JP can develop the leadership skills to lead the team when curry retires

paul reboca sr

Bro, i was looking forward to hearing what you were going to say about you know who, " the EWOK"... HAHAHAHAHHA

Andreas Wiedemann

Man I whish the standings stay as they are today. KD in the first round is something i would want to avoid. Also the playin of course. If we are able to beat the kings who would give us a good run for sure, like the smaller ugly brothers usually do, a matchup against the grizzlies or lakers would be a lot of fun.

No wiggins the next two games though, it’ll be a battle till the end for sure

Oh, yeah, that was him. Yeah, I had my doubts we'd win, but they turned it up near the end.

Got move some of them not enough roster spots. Probably waiting on a disgruntled star

Little too close for comfort, but a win is a win. On a side note, OKC has some nice players. And like Alc said, I'm happy to have PBJ, but Jaylin Williams was still on the board before going #34 to OKC and would've been an ideal big for the Dubs. Also like Isaiah Joe as a shooter off then bench. Dubs could've actually drafted Joe in the 2nd round of the 2020 draft, but ended up drafting Nico Mannion instead at #48 (Joe went one pick later to the Sixers at #49). Not to mention, 2 picks later, the Dubs took Justinian Jessup #51 as a draft and stash, one pick before the Rockets took KJ Martin at #52. Who knows if the Dubs would've developed or kept either player and it's tough to find diamonds in the rough in the 2nd round, but missing on those two 2nd rounders plus the Wiseman pick at #2 in the 2020 draft hurts.

Man, the Thunder are a frickin' fun team. Interesting, young guys. Crazy potential. Didn't even have Chet all year.

John Pettus

If we had a better record I think they would have rested Klay more days and Moody would have gotten more run.

John Pettus

SGA is the WORST with the off-arm. It's so annoying.

John Pettus

Joey Lightyears needs to get out the checkbook for that guy. He's a Glue+ Guy. Super valuable. Seems like he thrives being the energy guy off the bench.

godeau

So the next two games are must wins to secure the 6th spot since they lost tiebreakers to LAL and LAC. And if either LA teams win 3 in a row they secure 5th. Man that Minnesota game and Denver game cost a ton!

Sqk

They should play Moody instead of Klay; his defense and energy and effort are way better

Ben D

What do you think the Thunder do with all the first round picks? Draft them all are start to build a roster and trade bc this team is gonna be a problem next season

Athletic Alchemy

yeah he got down in a stance and was poking fools like his prime days

Keith Waters

draymond was a monster in the 4th on defense

Qiushi Hu

I love how Jalen Williams plays. His game is so complete and effectively simple

Qiushi Hu

Is Poole turning into one of those foul bait guy like Harden or Trae? I have mixed feeling about that. Also SGA literally uses his off arm in every play.

Athletic Alchemy

sounds like Chet for OKC.. glad you got to see a W

I haven't watched the breakdown yet (work is crazy today), but I wanted to point out something I saw at the game: before Steph came out, Draymond was out there with his kid doing shooting drills. He had a hoodie on and from where I was sitting (one of the suites at the other end of the arena... I was invited my Amazon/AWS), I couldn't tell it was him, at the start. The dude in the hoodie was making 3 after 3 after 3. Like 6 in a row at one point. I'm like "who tf is that??" and it wasn't until he turned around that I realized it was Dray! I just thought it was interesting that he was so efficient in practice and his form seemed different. Also, DDV hit a bunch of 3's in practice and I didn't see a single one hit the rim. Silky smooth. Lastly, there was some dude on the OKC end when I came in (about 1 hr before tip off). Really tall white dude, like really tall. He missed like 90% of the 3's he put up. Bad misses. I didn't see him on the bench, so I really wonder what that was about.
