Hey, you're the one sports commentator I watch regularly, and trust to be factual and objective. Glad to support the channel.
I think with the right steps 2020 could be big for you, but you'd have to be less-Warrior-centric, go way more cross-platform, and have more fan-involved events like live streams (which reminds me--you can set up a payment process method for live donations that are not Super Chats and thus don't give like 30% of the money to Google.) Short daily content, not just game-days would help your algorithmic standings, too, from what I've read. One Alch play of the day across sports and teams, etc.
Just a few suggestions based on the social media marketing work I've done in the past. Regardless, keep up the grind and good things will come your way.

I feel like we should trade DLo, keep JPoole and go for a serviceable big. I don't know if we need another superstar because I feel like this will be Steph and Klay's time to shine again. Oh, and as painful as this is to say, maybe we consider trading Draymond is someone really good becomes available. #SerbianSuperModel

Thanks Alch! Just caught up on the last 6 games in one sitting, your breakdowns are clutch for a season like this lol
I just keep waiting for DLee's scoring streak to end, but he's starting to look like a reliable source of points. Now Poole is regaining confidence, and doing it against some tough teams.
Smiley looks young out there, but his composure with the ball definitely shows maturity. Seems to have a lot of fire, he was freaking out at around 12:35 when we locked them down. It's gonna be interesting to see how minutes are distributed/who takes advantage between Spelly, WCS, Chriss, Smiley, Loon... How the fuck did we get so many bigs?

🙏🏽 Owen really appreciate your suggestions, support and motivation. I wish you all of that right back brother!

Interesting take.. and so Dlo is already proven on Kerr’s eyes

Hey Alch, I just want to add to the chorus of praise: great breakdown, great start to a new year, and it's satisfying to see you expand more and more.
I want to wish you all the success you desire this year, all the health and happiness to you and your family, and to say, finally, thank you for teaching me so much about a game I love.
My year's off to a great start, too--I'm about to quit my job and go full-time with private clients making way, way more than I do now, so...yeah. Bye bye stability, but hello opportunity.
I hope you get the same huge break this year that I've been blessed to receive because you deserve it for your funny, timely, incisive, and deep breakdowns of the Warriors, basketball in general, and now football.
Happy 2020, Alch. Peace. I'm outta here.

I haven't doubted Paschall in a while. Lee, I'm being convinced. Ditto Spellman. I'm getting there with Chriss, and Poole could still pan out (I thought he'd take until next year.)
But I want WSC gone. And I think we can get more back for Burks, in terms of fit, than he currently brings. Keep GRIII if we can for a dynamic slasher and decent shooter/defender (a backup 3-and-D kinda wing with good driving is a great fit...doesn't need the ball in his hands to affect the game) but ditch Evans III unless he really becomes "NBA-ready" before the trade deadline. And yes, if we dealt him, he'd get Jordan Bell'd or Alonzo McKinnie'd, but oh well.

If he'd fallen low enough in the draft, I'm sure the Dubs would have grabbed him. They are willing to take on projects provided they can pay out in 2-3 seasons, even at this point.
And what a project he'd have been. Good god, him next to Steph and Klay next year on offense would have been brutal.

Never thought Poole would learn how to make a layup this early into the season. Gonna need a few more games like this from him before I have confidence in him again.

My theory is Kerr is testing to see which role players can show up and clutch moments. National TV , a really good team, and an emotional back and forth game. Best time to see who has it and who doesn't. Now we know Pascall and Lee can really bring it when it matters most

Alc you also right with this Draymond at the 4 and 5. The bluff is up the league knows he's only 6'-5" and it's starting to show.... Because KD was legitimately 7'-0", Iggy with the long wingspan, Klay same height as Draymond our small lineup really wasn't that small. Now our small lineup looks G league size!

He's natural ball player and a legit 7ft with stroke

I was waiting for your take on Porter Jr. Box Score said he missed a few shots but every time I saw him shoot he was splashing. The kid looks good. Doesn't have the fluidity of the great KD (the injuries may have something to do with that); But it appears he's playing pretty much as advertised. League better watch out.

Hard to say... Atkinson did this as well at times. Coaches don't seem to always trust him.
Athletic Alchemy
2020-01-17 22:30:52 +0000 UTC
He has shown up in big moments, the problem is it almost seems like it has to be pulled out of him..If you want be great you have to show up consistently day to day. Imagine how good he would be if he committed to getting in better shape. Same can be said for Embiid, I put them in the same category. All the skills to be great, but will they work for it?
Athletic Alchemy
2020-01-17 22:28:28 +0000 UTC
One of the most clutch too. He carried the nuggets like crazy against the blazers, literally the only one who showed up from 3 in game 7

The breakdown I did earlier in the season the Lakers crushed them. The Nuggets are good, their not going to get swept regular season or playoffs. But stylistically the Lakers are a nightmare for Jokic.
Athletic Alchemy
2020-01-17 22:25:30 +0000 UTC
Nah i didn't catch that! Other than Dray its hard to imagine any of the players tanking.
Athletic Alchemy
2020-01-17 22:22:25 +0000 UTC
Yo Alc didn't you see D'Lo with fist shaking and nodding his head after he missed? These dudes are committed to the tank. Burks acting like he didn't know the game was about to end and not getting a quality shot to prevent overtime? Let a young kid get some glory or tank. Good choice to me.
And maybe that means D'Lo invested in the tank and planning on being around longer than we thought?

The nuggets already played the Lakers, they won by 24. I don't like their team tho, as you said, too much depth, and too many slightly above average players.
Their biggest problem tho, just like the Celtics, is that they don't have any great 3 point shooters, just average guys that shoot at a high clip. That's why the team went like 0-16 from 3 against the blazers in game 7, only Jokic made a three or 2
José Francisco
2020-01-17 21:41:06 +0000 UTC
You’ve never liked Jokic so much. Yes,he usually looks like dead body on the court but when they need him he always shows up,easily one of the most talented players in the league and half of their team.
2020-01-17 21:36:54 +0000 UTC
Evans will undoubtedly be dealt in any trade that's made.
Nathan Glanzer
2020-01-17 21:33:09 +0000 UTC
good vid Alc, starting to see what I wanted from Poole for sure. If he keeps this up, any reason to keep jacob evans? It seems like he’s been regressing after a promising pre-season and start of the season
2020-01-17 21:31:26 +0000 UTC
Damn Alc you have a great point. D-Lo was always clutch in Brooklyn, it’s crazy to see Kerr constantly taking him out in big moments. Do you think it could be apart of the tanking strategy?
Kahlil Baker
2020-01-17 21:26:28 +0000 UTC
Yeah I wanted this one for them! Im going to try get a pod out before the game.
Athletic Alchemy
2020-01-17 21:25:56 +0000 UTC
Great breakdown on this one Alc, sucks they couldnt pull out the win on this night, probably would have been a big moral booster for the team but oh well. Are you gonna have a pod or video previewing the NFC champ game at all?
