I know this one had to feel good for the Warriors fans (I'm more of a general NBA fan but really like high level play...ad thus the warriors. Also, I think Alch is the only genuine breakdown dude on YouTube with some flare to his style that isn't a complete fake ass/lame ass/corny ass dude, but still smart). Couple thoughts outside of this video: -Kevon Looney deserves to get paid. I want to see him get a bag after not getting his money in last year's market. -Klay deserves a max and your team should be happy to pay taxes for him. -I actually think...this whole scenario and the way it's playing out might make KD stay, or at least the chances feel higher now. -Steph is a legend, and I really hope this stops the low-IQ narrative that he isn't clutch in the playoffs. -As a neutral fan that loves good play, I fucking hate the Rockets so much and now that their bitch asses are out of the playoffs, I really am okay with whatever happens in these playoffs lmao. -I get the sense that warriors fans kind of feel the same way if KD isn't able to make it back for some reason. Obviously chip is the goal, but this win is probably so exciting for the fans.

GAME 6 KILLER KLAY, ALL DAY, SENT THE ROCKETS TO THA HOLIDAYS!!

- Phenomenal how EVERYONE stepped up. Livingston on both ends, Iguodala hitting his open 3s, Draymond setting great screens, etc. We got classic Warriors basketball. - Fuck everyone that doubted the Chef. And that includes me because I didn't expect him to shoot well considering his finger injury. That's going to be a problem in the next series as well. Proved every mofo wrong in the 2nd half. - CP3, the ultimate lil bitch got exactly what he deserved

As someone who regularly watches all the Fox sports analysts - (Skip & Shannon, Chris Broussard, Colin Cowherd, etc), I salivate at the idea of Alc sitting across the table from these guys and decimating them with his comprehensive analyses. Let's make it happen Patreon!!!

Absolute fire alch! On point as always. I feel like these playoff series take years off my life! Keep it up!

I personally think Shannon is ok, but those other guys... oracles of bs.

What a game!!!! So....you think this game might have some influence?? Kerr using the bench more....KD buying in to more ball movement? Or might the Dubs get overconfident, because they've beaten the best in the west.......

Thanks Alc, your review of the game was 100% spot on as always. Definitely up there one of the most satisfying play off wins. Rockets and the owner really need to STOP with the running of their mouth, it’s over man. Go the Warriors

Chris Styner

For sure one of the most satisfying wins I can remember as a fan. Beating the first seed Mavs was dope. But these dudes are clowns, saying they are built to beat us, and they just need CP not injured next year to get it done. And they lost to us without DC and KD. Thank god this conversation is over. There might need to be a conversation about Dike d'antoni and the threes and Freethrow philosophy he has yet to actually win with.

im like fuck man alchs taking forever! then i saw the intro..maddd quality! vimeo aint so bad after all. but damn that game was amazing. heart was literally racing from start to the very end! and fuck chris paul with pregame shooting around shit! he got what he deserves! and from now on.. all curry slander has to wait after the game ends 😂

Is it just me or is the video a bit stuttery EDIT: nevermind just let it buffer for a bit

most satisfying alchemy recap of all time

Harden made a lot of defensive mistakes. Like at 15:15 there is no reason for Harden to be so close to Livingston. And this is why Kerr absolutely needs to spam more PnR. We scored something like 8/10 times we used it. It's just absurd and we didn't fully use it until the 4th.

Anyone laughing at how JVG and Mark Jackson stfu after Curry started going off? Just pure silence. Assholes deserve to get kicked off the air.

Fantastic! I loved the Jerebko hard foul, smart play. Andrew's passing, settling effect in the beginning and Capella didn't really want to challenge Andrew, he' pay more dividends later. Bell was ready and solid and S dot turned back the clock a bit. But as I said yesterday, and now knowing he rebuffed Steph and told he to go sit, my highest praise is for Steve, he got his players to believe because those players that have been sitting and sitting knew from past runs that eventually they would get a chance. Brilliant use of players.

I honestly don't care if the Warriors win the title. I am just really glad the Rockets won't get it. Their style and antics, in my opinion, are just not befitting a championship team. I agree with several of your points. Klay will never get his due credit, simply because of the players he is with. Honestly, though, he seems the type of dude to be cool with that. He is not an ego player. He doesn't make things about himself. He is about winning, about showing up, and about hard work on both ends of the court. Draymond really does get screwed on some of these of calls. I saw several rebounds that Capela clearly went over his back, and they either didn't call it, or they called a foul on Draymond. Finally, I agree Looney needs paid. The dude is not only working hard, he is showing that he isn't as one dimensional as people think, showing all kinds of tricks. As far as our next opponent, I am hoping for Portland over Denver, just because Lillard and Steph always put on light shows when they play each other.

What a game man, when it was tied at half 57-57 and I see Steph with 0 point I knew he was gonna go off cause ain’t no way he doesn’t leave at least his finger prints in this ball game. S/o to KLAY “GAME 6” THOMPSON I didn’t know he was gonna do this but I had feeling. And alchemy u ain’t the only one that wanna fight CP3 bro just tagged me in I’m with you with that dude is a certified fish him and James Harden and I hate Houston for that. Houston fans love too which buggles me. Capela needs to stfu and Daryle Morey too (Thier GM) thank God this series is over.

Do you think this warriors team(with kd) could beat the Milwaukee bucks if both teams reach the finals? These past couple years have told me not to doubt the warriors, but I can't help but think the bucks are in a prime position to finally dethrone these warriors. This warriors team is the most injured it has been in years while Milwaukee has pretty much had the easiest road to the conference finals, playing GIannis only 32 mins/game. The bucks also seem to have the most reliable depth in these playoffs, having 10 guys they can roll out and trust in crunch time.

"you carve a statue by subtraction"???!!!!!! That s**t was fire Alch like all your breakdowns man. Also, how sweet is it that just in time things will work out for us with KD AND boogie coming back to help us take down the Greek freak in the finals?? Who do u think wins the east?

It was the shoes for Steph. Had to bring them back for the 2015 feel type of game.

Kahlil Baker

I was thinking after the game, if we had Houston’s bench we would steam roll the NBA. They would definitely work better in the warriors system

Anonymous

Another great piece Alch. Perfect intro too! BTW, did you peep this article on Chris Paul rolling up to the Toyota Center on Thursday to deny Steph & his teammates their reserved shoot around time? He did everything he could to disrupt the Dubs & they still got whooped. That's part of why Boogie was talking sh*t to CP3. See for yourself : https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2835689-chris-paul-reportedly-denied-stephen-curry-practice-time-before-game-6.amp.html

I feel like Looney's possible ceiling could be up to Lemarcus Aldridge

Strong Foru

You're right! This Playoffs series took a couple years off my life too! Lol. Nah seriously tho.

Dan Doerge

Alch really delivered for us! Prediction: Harden just went down in flames for MVP. Extra credit: the chickensh!@ from CP3 on Steph's shootaround has exposed him to the entire league as the low-life we have always recognized.

athleticalchemy

thanks! That is what I was alluding to about kicking him off his own court. At a certain point it just looks like insecurity rather then gamesmanship

athleticalchemy

whoa! lets slow down a bit! lol He is becoming a nice player. But LA is a legit #2 scoring option.

athleticalchemy

I share a lot of those thoughts! I feel like the injury scare for KD may have gave him insight into how these guys really feel about him. How the organization does. Sitting at home watching has got to give him some prospective. Then again maybe thats just me hoping it does. I kept saying it, the basketball gods are not going to reward this style, it just doesn't feel right!

Jansen E

Holy crap Alch. You made that intro yourself? Goddamn that was NICE. On to the game.... Thank GOD I was wrong. I think you remember me being the negative nancy before this series even started saying Rockets in 6. After game 4, I was adamant that Id be right. After KD went down, I saw the entire dynasty flash before my eyes. But then somehow some way the Warriors came through. It would be extremely disappointing to not come away with a 3peat after this series victory. These Warriors getting a 3peat would ultimately solidify them as the best team ever assembled and silence all critics. 4 titles in 5 years. Going through all the adversity they did. Damn. Imma be real, game 7 of last year was still slightly more satisfying because the Warriors were the ones who had their backs against the wall in teams of series score. But I agree with you, after losing KD, everyone felt the narrative change to "The Warriors are expected to lose" and that was enough of a spotlight.. Ill still be really upset to not take down Kawhi or the Freak in the finals (let alone getting past Jokic or Dame), but I will definitely savor this victory. I think after a 4 year battle of all TALK, the Warriors have hands down put this rivalry to bed. Not then, not now, and not anytime soon will the Rockets be on the Warriors level. Only if Klay/Steph/Dray all fall off their prime, or a bunch of key pieces leave. Just like you, I was hard on Iguodala all year during the regular season cuz of how terrible he looked at times. I know he'll be a year older and a year slower. But goddamn I'll never hate on his reg season performances again if this is how he steps up come playoff time. Take 75 games off if you need to Iggy!!! Playoff Iguodala is fucking lit. And my god Kevon muthafukkin Looney. Imagine if he keeps working on that jumper, and god forbid gets even MORE confident in taking it. This dude could actually stir some talk of being an all star! What a roller coaster of a series. What a game. Wardell Stephen Curry..........your debt is repaid. I am humbled and silenced by your performance. I cant promise I wont rip you for bullshit in the future, but man I know Ive been hard on your these last few games. Thank you so much for showing me why youre still the baddest man in a Warriors uniform.

athleticalchemy

I have my hopes up that Dray is seeing the light and starting to look to finesse the refs a bit...will see. Not just the Dame match up, the are the better match up imo. Denver is young deep and has a great home court.

athleticalchemy

I don't think they coming back form this! I bet Morey makes a desperate move and recks what ever it is that they have already.

Amen! Most satisfying win all year long!! I’m am also grateful for the Dubs gift of not having to play game 7. Now I can focus on my wife and mother for Mother’s day! 😉

I told y'all it wasn't the green light theory and Curry getting out of his head. Lol. Put the ball in his hands, Spread the floor. Run PnR. And then watch the greatness that happens. This ain't quantum physics. No deep analysis needed. What do you think we did all year when Curry won unanimous? We simply put the ball in his hands and let him work. This is how the team was built in the first place. Muscle memory of champions. Y'all have short memories. There's no other player people talk as recklessly about than Stephen Wardell Curry. 2nd may be Draymond Green. No other player in pro sports sacrifices more individual greatness for the sake of the team than Curry. He makes that conscious decision every single day. Never forget that.

athleticalchemy

Whats crazy I remember thinking early in the year when Jerebko was in the rotation. No way he lasts all year he is just too physical. We put him on ice and now we have him out the cut!

athleticalchemy

Obviously not MY highlights but yeah I priced it together and picked the song. Steph shut us all up Warrior fans included!

Anonymous

Iguodala's five 3-pointers came with GSW trailing by 1, 5, 2, 6, and 7 points, respectively. Think about that. He was unbelievably clutch.

Anonymous

"Warriors ran Curry/Green PnR 10 times in the 4th. Scored on 8 of those, for 19 points. Only misses were the oop to Looney and Draymond possibly fouled by Capela at the rim." By now we should all know what unlocks Curry. If you don't, that's a damn shame.

Neal X

Also completely raged when Steph jumped into Harden's arms like he wanted to marry him.

Regarding all the hot takes on the bench. No, the bench didn't all of a sudden become good. It's not good, but it's not bad either. They are typical bench players. Yes, Klay's shooting kept us in the 1st half but so did Curry. Yes, Curry. Those bench role players we got ain't doing anything if they don't have the spacing created by Curry's gravity. Curry allowed the floor to be wide open for them. That's what bench players are. They're not good enough to do it on their own. They rely on the spacing created by superstars to make their impact.

These last 2 wins were amazing, legendary games from the core. Also fuck Chris Paul, just seen he kicked curry out of the arena when he wanted to have a shooting session hahahah

10 times in the 4th for 20 points. Kerr always spams it in the playoffs, it's just usually the last/most important game when he does it.

I just read a report that Boogie could be back sometime during the West final!

It's just absolutely sad we don't spam PnR more. BBALLBREAKDOWN actually asked Kerr why he doesn't run more PnR and his response was (paraphrasing): "When you just run PnR, you have 3 guys just standing around. You don't really get them involved" But isn't that the case most of the time when we run a motion offense? Especially when KD is healthy and we don't have any sense of desperation like we did tonight and 4th quarter of last game? Usually at least two guys standing still. A lot of our PnR actually involves at least 3 players to work. Look at that last Klay Thompson 3 where Curry being doubled led to Draymond drive, kick out to Iguodala and pass to Klay. There is something miscalculated with Kerr's philosophical approach. He wants to get bench players and role players involved yet he thinks PnR is mutually exclusive to that. We couldn't have won this game without PnR starting from the 2nd half.

What a fucking game, felt completely different winning a game we weren't supposed to rather than my usual anxiety worrying about them not living up to the huge expectations.

When you mentioned Boogie not liking CP3... reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eqGiJc8Zy4

This is the best win for me since Steph's "BANG! BANG!" in OKC in 2016. I'm so happy.

Anonymous

Got everything I wanted to see in these 5 quarters. Klay have his well deserved Max in the bag, Curry quieting the noise, And Kerr and the coaching staff why they deserve our respect which is sometimes lost. ...And the rockets as constituted officially will never win a title.

Anonymous

This was probably the best win since game 6 of the 2016 WCF. The magnitude of everyone's legacies being on the line and being able to out execute a team with skill and decisive attacks makes me put in perspective how the Warriors can change the landscape of the NBA, even without winning a championship. They have went from an irrelevant team led by Mike Dunleavy to every moment this team is apart of could determine how teams go out and perform throughout the year is incredible.

my man AA. that was worth the wait. its crazy to see exactly HOW good this GSW team is. I'm excited for the Nugs. I reckon we'll go 4-1 on them. Houston was the most challenging match up of the playoffs. Awesome recap video Alch. you always be getting me HYPE.

Dude, really really nice intro, man. Well put together! You're getting slick with every aspect, Alch. Been too busy with work to catch more than bits of games (time difference can be hell!) so I am ALWAYS glad to have sub'd to your Patreon...these breakdowns are a lifesaver. Oh, also super pumped for you to see the Patreon growth. You deserve every cent of it, man.

Oh hey, open question: why are there so many empty seats? I didn't notice until watching Alch, but there's a bunch of seats, not far from mid-court, 4-5 rows back, that are unoccupied. I mean, scalpers' gambits gone wrong? Fans buying and then watching like Harden plays (just giving up at the end), alien abductions? I'm talking like 11 minutes into Alch's video, so this is the 2nd to 3rd quarters we're talking...

Ezra Abbey

This shit is pissing me off. For the past month or so I been hearing so much Steph hate: "he's fallen off" "KD is the only reason this Warriors team is any good" "Steph's a pussy" etc. etc. etc. Now you open up instagram and every nba page and their mother is sucking off steph talking about how he's a GOAT and shit. These hot take artists can suck it. My belief in Steph never waivered, KD would not be scoring close to as many points if it weren't for Steph's playstyle, off-ball movement & gravity. Sorry about that I just had to get it off my chest. Also, FUCK THE ROCKETS.

Anonymous

a friend of mine that doesnt watch a lot of basketball, he was commenting on steph and how he would have benched him. i shook my head and said something like even if this dude is clanking every single shot, he has investment in his presence. defenders MUST show him respect and thats where his value is. this motion ball wouldnt work without the types of shooters in klay and steph. shooters that can downright humiliate a team

Ezra Abbey

There's some advanced stat (forget what it's called) that measures shots created for teammates (much better than just pure assists) and Steph ranks as one of the top players of all time in that stat.

great video! I really like the editing, especially at the start.

yeah i saw that vid. It revealed a lot about Kerr's philosophy. I thought the same as you about his comments. Using PnR doesn't mean others are not involved necessarily. It opens up so much for the other guys too.

Anonymous

Here's an interesting stat: Iguodala had 5 steals, 3 of them led directly to a shot, two Klay threes and a Livingston left handed layup, for a total of 8 points. I think those were all critical times in the game. The first one led to Klay's first three, then another three for Klay to cut it to 1 in the third quarter, and the final one which was converted into a livingston layup to tie it up in the fourth quarter. Iggy was all over the place offensively(5 threes) and defensively(5 steals).

Anonymous

When asked why GS doesn't run a lot of PnR, Steve Kerr said this "if you are doing PnR over and over again the other 3 guys are just standing there. and they kind of lose some juice. You have to get everybody involved" What's your take on this?

Anonymous

Style of play...? Like Houston fans just don't wanna watch Houston play in person cuz of style...? Do you mind expanding so a relative basketball dummy like me can get what you mean?

Anonymous

Some combo of assists, hockey assists, gravity and pure pants-wetting fear, when added to the ability to shoot a career 50+% from the logo? Yeah. Yeah, Steph better be up in that kind of metric.

my man! We got Blazers.. whether KD returns in game 3 or not, I reckon we got this series. 4-1 is my guess!
