bro I will munch your face straight up

Real glad to hear you point out JM Green's defense and awareness on the floor. One that that really stands out to me is that he appears to instinctively know where to be and plays well in our system. He's moving inside-outside. Getting in good rebounding position. Cutting guys off. Taking open 3s. Just a perfect system guy.

Klay is a God, we all know it. What really made me happy was Poole playing within himself; it seems clear that he does take things more seriously or is more focused with Steph out. And if anything, our defense has improved as well with Steph gone, because if we're being honest he was space cadet on D recently as much as Klay has been. I hope everyone can stay locked in.

Wiseman doesn't deserve anything, especially with the way JMG is playing.

moving...to another team??? lol

Noticed "Nook-Kul-Lar" too. I think it's used enough by famous people by now that it can just be stylistic choice. According to wiki, "The U.S. presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and vice president Walter Mondale used this pronunciation".

Love that you're breaking out the neurology with the dopamine dump, Alch. But just a note on your physics, it's (nuclear) pronounced NEW-CLEE-ER not nuke-you-lar. Great work all the same!

That one was my favorite 😂

We know bro, only the blind can't see the Kerr clearly doesn't want Wiseman to succeed. It's not about defense because Kerr plays a bunch of bad defenders....that lineup he played early second was an all time worse, but Kerr will do anything to keep wise off the floor

Watching this game calmed my anxiety around Steph's absence while he recovers from his injury.
Athletic Alchemy
Dang I forgot I even said that 😂

One of the journalists in the postgame (Slater I think) asked Poole which was his favorite dime of the night, and that got him thinking for a little bit. The kind of reinforcement we need for him.
Captain Rossco
"Klay was treating this Aaron Wiggins kid like Doc Rivers treats Austin, like he was just never even there" 😂🔥

🙏🏽 I’ll try to incorporate more league stuff. I’m trying to grow the YouTube channel and Warrior topics dominate when it comes to clicks
Sevrin Weiss
Alc, love the breakdown. as usual. but gotta say, man do i miss the days of the hezi when you would jump around the league and quickly give a your take on each game/story. I'm sure that's a lot of content to research and put out though. All to say, Would love to hear your thoughts on all the leagues craziness and not JUST the dubs. but i'm a lifer regardless of course! cheers! Oh, also I just moved to Australia so your breakdowns are a lifesaver! wishing you well!
Natto Santo
Yes his D progressing after his comeback.
Fuq yu
he was at the college, Santa Clara University
KuraiT
The okc guys call one J Will and the other J Dub, I don't remember which one each nickname goes to though lol

lots of funny 1 liners. CANADA DRY. “If my aunt my was uncle she have NUTS”

Look wiseman could score 30 a game and Kerr wouldn't play him. He does not athletic players. He got sure should be getting 10 min a game. Can't get better if you don't play. Poole really looked more comfortable and not speed up that was great to see, and Kuminga looks great and I have great respect for him getting wise the ball like he did.

Poole has been impressing me more and more..sometimes in both ways… I think this offseason he needs to spend a bulk of his time watching more film because everything is about him putting it together at this point.. he’s a B+ scorer, A B- playmaker, and I’ve seen him play exponentially better on defense when he tries where I actually think he has the potential to be a much better defender than steph and maybe 2-3 ticks below prime klay.. He could be 5x allstar if he could figure out how to put together his great games and get smarter/ more mature with the ball
Offtopic K
Yeah sometimes i watch and ask whose side are we rooting for here
Offtopic K
Maybe lightskin and dark skin jaylen

Wiseman deserves minutes he out of the other 2 young guys is the only one that provides a different dynamic that the team could use out there… id rather find a trade for rollins and moody or maybe just draft capital.. and release iggy
Offtopic K
I woke up this morning and saw a headline “Wiseman requested a trade from GSW” I actually got so happy for him until I saw it was fake 😂… but yeah Jamychal has been playing great in his spot minutes but to me so has Wiseman as he’s getting more confident and a better feel for the game.. I wish for the rest of the regular we’d push back like 4 minutes from looney and 4 from draymond to avoid any other pivotal injuries but still keeping them in game shape and give them to Wiseman.. We could use him when the threes aren’t falling or in small ball lineups with his speed of a small forward and vertical spacing.. matter fact play them together as kerr plays loon, jamychal, and draymond together
Highway Jay
1:43 Klay with the suttle travel and nobody was trippin 🤣
Ben Whitaker
i been seeing you in this comment section and im not gonna cap rn....you a bitch. Wiseman is cooler than you bro.
Chip Tingle
OKC came out ballin to start, and I’m guessing Cherp King Dray and Nuclear Klay are pretty motivating to wanna shut down.
Chip Tingle
And yet true…breaks down how leads are lost so quickly.
Athletic Alchemy
haha Its the word knife.. thats the key ive found when trying to hit a accent you got find key words you can nail.
Chip Tingle
Wiggs’ D on SGA was a big step up!
A m a r Singg
light years!!!
Omer Ali
Ever Since Joku came back from that injury, his three ball has looked so much better. Edit: Since coming back he's been shooting 53% from three on 3 Attempts per game. Not a big sample and obviously he's not gonna shoot 53% for the rest of the season but definitely noticed an improved shot.
Natto Santo
JP always perform without Chef, but surprisingly Klay’s game is up too. Wiggins still looks a bit lost but others are ready. I think we can stay around .500 till Chef is back
AK
I'm in Australia so yes.. that shit was forced on me unfortunately
Russ
I always wonder how much hand holding do these egos need? I guess when they make so much more than the coaches you have to be super soft on them. Sad, but that's the way it is these days. I wonder if one day players will sue teams for cutting them, like employees often do now.
Tyler Durden
getting more depressed as this week gets closer to thursday and Wiseman, MOdy Moody and Ryan R are still taken up space and $$ on the bench. Need to clear some space
Cyrus Muduroglu
Alch bro pause stephs a boy ya heard??
Tyler Durden
Prioritizing Fitz and Az on TV instead of Tim Roye (and sidekicks), on the radio broadcast, make me question other Warriors management decisions. I'm not here to question everyones taste, but Fitz and K were voted worst broadcast crew in NBA. If Lacob still wants these guys because they are homers, what does that say about other internal decisions, like keeping Wiseman (and Iggs).
Coreyy
Guys I’m having a hard time distinguishing the two Jalen Williams kids. There’s gotta be an easy, yet obnoxious way of reminding me which is which right
YANCEY WADE
Nice mouth reading at 10:20
Mason Joe
Bro I know right. I always have the opps commentary on cause I cant stand Fitz. For example one thing he always says is when the other team had just scored and we blow a layup and they score a 3 its a five point swing. Sounds so negative. Is it just me?
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That kangaroo accent was pretty spot on mate
Mikey H
I like em both. Think they have really good chemistry together & Kelenna is funny af. Lots of good back & forth & generally sound like they are having fun. I watch other teams & most commentators seem way sterile or get offended if the away team is winning. ex rockets/sixers
GenerationTRS80
I like your pretty girl comment about Steph. But I think it works against other teams as well. Without that pretty girl to compete against ie Steph, then the other ball players are straight up not interested in really showing off and playing their best basketball. Really what's sexy about showing up Jordan Pool? Nuthin
Chip Tingle
I’m with you seemingly in the minority on Fitz/Buki. Sure Fitz has his quirks like every other announcer I’ve heard, but he always brings energy, good knowledge, and is anything but boring. I react more to the homogeneous, vanilla, zero-risk or surprise kind of norm around the league. Does Fitz get smug, homerish, and patronizing? Sure. Put next to Tim/Tom/Jim, feels to me like Dubs fans are fortunate on all fronts.
Athletic Alchemy
it took quite a night.. like you said, got keep it there for stretch
Athletic Alchemy
kehlani has settled in, not trying so hard anymore. Fitz is the voice of the Warriors no doubt... I just think he treats the audience like were dumb too much. Stop catering to the newbs
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
Ah, I was sure you'd call out that Klay with his performance yesterday went back to have a 40+% 3pt season. Been waiting for that for a while. Now just need to keep it there and not start chucking because Steph is out.
Anthony Gray
i got you lol!
Athletic Alchemy
For me its that they dont see what Im mad about.. Im not shitting on a kid for a bad shot, or losing balance and the ball. But how many times can you turn your back to the ball when a shot goes up? How many times are you going to just randomly pick up on the ball in transition and leave your teammates scrambling to find yours? shit like that.. and I think most parents are just like wtf is this dude huffing and puffing about
Mikey H
what if they're purposefully not developing him till next year to get around that 👽🖖
Mikey H
and to think, the way to get out of the 2nd half slump was to get rid of steph 😉
Athletic Alchemy
Kerr and Dray know what they are doing saying it was his best game.. and it might have been. But he needs his ego stroked for playing like this in order to keep doing it
Macca
I must be the only person who loves Fitz and Kelenna, haha. I make sure I have them on as my default stream on NBA Pass!
Chip Tingle
Much as I’m rooting for Wiseman in his career in the league, it’s tougher and tougher to argue to keep him a Dub, especially when $, tax bill, and effect on other roster $ is in plain sight coming up. How much $ does moving Wise and Moody free up both this year and in the future? In addition to Dray contract, can this also bring DDV into extension talks even at higher market value? Are we going to find a better fit than DDV? Let alone our productive two-way guys needing serious consideration in place of roster spots held by Andre and Rawlins (zero productivity?!). Lotsa serious franchise decisions coming over next two days and then the off-season. Continued gratitude 🙏
Athletic Alchemy
appreciate it! Yeah I find the NFL guys way better at what they do
Mikey H
This had me crackin up actually 😅
Athletic Alchemy
Thats crazy.. so a pair of 2nd rd picks is probably all these teams are offering
Anthony Gray
my wife who was a baller too hated the car ride home with her parents after games it was a full on roast, her parents was ripping everyone, players, coaches, refs nobody was safe!!
james moore
at least he's not boring
A m a r Singg
Alch check this out, Wiseman could potentially cost them $131 MILLION next year!! lmao. Not only could he cost us resigning Dray, but $131 millie? damn, he's gotta be gone this offseason. https://twitter.com/Dubs408/status/1623045734705795072
A m a r Singg
Jim was awesome. Roye is awesome too
Chris Williams
how many here seen crocodile dundee, haha
Athletic Alchemy
I have to sit alone during my daughters games.. otherwise parents hear me just talking wild bout everybody
Anthony Gray
d*mn alc your commentary on poole is hilarious! makes me think of me coaching my son's youth bball team.. a lot of head scratching what are you doing moments. his focus on defense is just asinine at times.
Jacob
My gawd... vintage klay and vintage alch
richard phan
For PGs Poole about to make 20 and 10 cool again
Nico Mauri
Man I really miss Jim Barnett as a commentator. He made Fitzgerald much more bearable.
Russ
I would love to see this from Poole. Just last game I was asking for him to drive and dish, he's got the first step, damn if this game he was just what he should be on offense. His D well, that's going to take a sea change and I'm not holding my breath but this game he was so much better on offense. Like you said if he's seen as a drive and dish guy they can't all collapse on him as they do now. And at this moment I like his midrange game better than his 3 pt shooting.
Anthony Berry
Alch you had me in tears with a couple of those jokes on this one, thanks for your unique brand of analysis, wish they'd give you a show on NBA TV to do this with games. Alot of their former player guys don't analyze at your level, and other than Legler on ESPN the worldwide leader lacks analysts.
Athletic Alchemy
I think you got to keep him moving so he doesn’t have to start and stop
Naji Zouhari
''Jason Williams the Santa Clara Version", as an non american this shit got me confused all game
Naji Zouhari
cant imagine a better scenario, as soon as the Chef gets back the team will be a well oiled machine. AL don't you think Wiseman should be tasked with defending the perimeter more ? i ain't see rim protection happening
Aiden McBride
Is fitz just going to be with us forever since he’s been here so long or what? Been watching a lot of league pass and there’s not another commentator that’s as corny or spews his basketball “insight” as much as fitz smh.
