Wiseman is certainly one of the stranger storylines this year. GS supposedly went all in on developmental coaches, including the big man coach who 'made' Jokic the big man he is today. Pair that with a young kid in Wiseman who is insanely athletic and mobile for a big man, smart, and dedicated (based on comments by his coaches, teammates, and his interviews), and what do you get? The statistically worst player in the NBA based on advanced stats!?! How does this happen? He still makes high school player mistakes like jumping at everything (which also makes him injury prone – I don't understand how NBA teams aren't teaching their big men to stay on ground – a 7' footer doesn't need a 48' vert to alter shots! But all that jumping around and falling down make big men injury prone – hashtag AD, Embiid, JJJ, etc), he still looks lost on offense AND defense when he doesn't have the ball, and he looks like deer in headlights after any mistake. It's just so frustrating to see so much potential that is not being met, and we are left wondering who is dropping the proverbial ball? Is it Wiseman? Is it the developmental team? Is it Kerr for not letting him play through mistakes? And Wiseman is just one of the many weird storylines this year (others include the punch, the Bob Meyers non-contract, the weird home/away records, the mafia contract refs apparently have on Jordan Poole, the bizarre fire sale of the entire GS bench after winning the title… and many many more. This has been a bizarre title defense year to put it mildly, and an incipient ulcer for the fans…).
I don’t think moody is getting a fair shot. He doesn’t even get minutes
Anfernee is a future allstar Poole is not.
Warriors fans are lucky to have you! I'm not even a warriors fan and I love the show!
Careful man you'll have Chiozza come posting his address saying pull up LMAO
There's nothing you can do to make the WNBA profitable. Men don't watch it and women don't even watch it. Grade 8 boys basketball is more entertaining. They should of packed it up years ago. For them to continue taking losses like they've been is insane. No business in their right mind would continue to operate at a loss like this. It's literally the men (NBA) subsidizing the WNBA and keeping it running. And these delusional women have the nerve to say they should be paid as much as the men. What a joke of a league. Women have been brainwashed with feminism to the point where they're totally detached from reality.
It will be Kumingas team. Book it
Agreed , keeping your challenge is a no brainer, overturning bad calls improves the integrity of the game.
keep on moving the three-point-line back until average three point attempts are reduced on average. i think 1/3 of total attempts as threes would be a start.
I noticed that about dray, he can run and dribble full speed. I was never able to do that
I think they should be able to used 2 challenges total. If they get the first one right, earn 2nd one. The refs should be getting fined for bad calls or obvious missed calls. Is there a way to better the referees?
Another plus would be an additional ref, see if that reduces missed calls, it amazes me how many obvious call are missed.
I think they said Wigs has an adductor strain which is the inside thigh, it can also be called a groin strain. I’ve had them multiple times and they can be horrible. It’s a few small muscles controlling a heavy leg, every slight motion can be exceedingly painful. Worst muscle strain there is…
I really like Moody but I don’t want him gone 😭
Can't wait for the LIVE streams❗️❗️💎Happy New Year Unk
Lillard and Ja are stars, Steph is a Superstar
Did that man say Portland 😂😂💀
the wiggins situation. Im almost wondering if there is a trade being worked on right now. It felt like wiggins target date was xmas- then they said they were using that game off as a precaution. Then it seems like every game since then- he is expected back then mysteriously listed as out again.
And with Jamichael Green coming up with a very mysterious injury and james wiseman. Im wondering if the warriors are putting together a trade thats gonna happen soon.
I dont expect them to trade wiggins, but wiggins has never ever ever missed 14 games straight
Hey there Alch, great video as always. Also have you played in any of the Curry's and which one's?
I think the league should let big men be more physical in the paint. I don't even think you need hand checking. Make it so that if you have an Embid, Embid can push guys around. Basically guarantees points unless you have someone who can actually guard him.
If you re-watch the playoffs last year, yeah there was no hand checking "allowed". But teams did it ALL playoffs anyway.
Thanks for another good video and Happy New Year! Just wanna say that your podcast type of videos (without jumpcuts on the editing) is fine. You’re well spoken enough bro that you don’t have dead air when you speak (a reason why YouTubers for the longest time do jumpcuts—to reduce the dead air and keep the attention span of the listener/viewer).
Great content as usual Alch, and I gotta say I agree with the no cuts and front camera take, it really brings something different from all the other content around, keep it up man.
How to make WNBA more successful? Put more pretty girls in there. 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
those damn Raiders almost got us
Agree on challenges
This is you at your best! So insightful and honest! This is the kind of son I would love to have. Your passion for the game is phenomenal You were born to do this…GO WARRIORS!
The recent games have proven Kerr's process for Wiseman is working he will be a contributor for the playoffs and Moody already is one.
coaches should submit anonymous complaints on referees every month
3 votes down and you’re fired!
For me Kuminga doesn't want it enough, I'd keep Moody over him
Happy New Year Alch🎊🎉❗️
great video alc would love to see more of these! the logistics might be hard but i think it would be cool like funnel people in discord for a conversation. Just a thought love the QnA nonetheless If you need some help w it i could provide some advise about how to make that work in discord. Anyway love the content as usual keep it up g.
If you win the challenge you keep it! No brainer! Props. Also,. we need to add a ref to the 3 man crew. They argue that it cost too much. Really?
Why don't the WNBA just be the pre-game for NBA matches? I can hear all the dumbass "we don't need no man to succeed" comments, but their league is going nowhere fast and the players keep saying they need more exposure.
Defensive 3 seconds needs to GO. People rightfully talk a lot about handchecking but getting rid of or at least lengthening the defensive 3 seconds will dramatically improve the game
still GSW backcourt for me too… also agree on Donte >> GP2… and Simons > Poole
Can anyone recommend me some shoes low to the ground traction and shit like that
Stephs shoes are actually good. Just tell us you cant shoot and have bad footwork thats ahy u dont like them i hoop too and stephs shoes lets u maximize the quickness of your footwork. There is no wasted motion and it has better traction than every nike shoe. Its also very light so u dont even feel u are wearing anything. Nike got yall brainwashed while all they do is use black people. Sign them to slave deals and throw them away, they did it to kwahi. Took his logo and everything. Now they just did it to kyrie. All the negative press about currys shoe actually came from nike. They know curry can make UA really give them a scare so they try to slander his shoes, game, family.. open ur eyes and stop being sheep people
Where you from Alc?
For the first question, definitely think an extra foul should be allowed if the game goes to OT. So 7 becomes the foul out limit
Cross Dame Steph and Ja as equals is nuts from that dude asking about best backcourts
There will come a time when the trio of klay dray and steph will be like the trio of the spurs in the Duncan era. I think kuminga will be like kawhi. If he can learn from draye early one and incorporate it in a skill set like of kawhi. And having j.poole alongside him. That will be the future.
generational maybe it’s a tiktok thing 😂😂
Personally, I'd say there needs to be an addition to the Coach's Challenge. If a coach uses the challenge prior to the 4th quarter and the challenge is successful, they get another coach's challenge which can be used only in the last 2 or 3mins of the game. This would be a reward for the team challenging since, much like you said, there are many situations where a call in the 1st or 2nd quarter can force the team to use a challenge, or not challenge because they might want to save it for later.
Poole will be the leader even if JK is the better player. It will free up JK to do damage… same as Steph and KD
Great video as always Alch! The WNBA segment was very thought provoking.
The wnba is a niche thing and that's ok. It wont ever be the nba. I think let it be what it is. Seeing ladies Ball is still fun but I don't seek that out.
