Apricot's In-Game Notes
These were a bit more incoherent than usual thanks to the wild nature of the ending. Not sorry.
That Looney tip in was like a delicate pool shot
It’s helpful/painful to remember how bad Looney looked in his first couple of years
After all this time watching Steph, I still involuntarily blurt out stuff like “oh man that’s ridiculous!!”
Yeah I personally think that Harden 30+ PTS streak looks amazing out of context but will look worse and worse over time. Sorry, I still believe FG% counts for something. Also, not constantly cheating and ruining the game.
We are all ants in a meaningless cosmos
PHI beautifully countered our 2-3 zone, then the surprise double on Embiid. Kind of amazing that Steph can walk down court and chuck in a long one to claw back everything
Q4.3.45. Oooh, Looney and Steph are getting a bit smoother on the pitch back play. Steph had an impossible layup to make but got bailed out with a foul
I count any game that’s within one possession with 2:00 left as a Random Ending. We are very on track for that.
Okay we’re ahead enough that it would really hurt to blow this
I just blurted out OH MY GOD after the last 3. It still hasn’t gotten old and I hope it never will.
I think the angle I saw showed it was off Looney’s hand last
STILL MATHEMATICALLY BLOWABLE
Apricot post-Steph move noises update: that last one from the logo I just let out a huge groan and smiled at the sky
If Steph is not high on your MVP ballot, I consider you a complete ignoramus
Also: yEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Obviously the lack of a butt pad has been holding back Steph all these years. The gauntlet is complete

Keeping my eyes on Portland as the season comes to a close. They are currently up four games in the standings from us, but:
- they have a six game road trip coming up; Indiana, Memphis, Brooklyn, Boston, Atlanta, Cleveland
- they have three games against Memphis (one game up in the standings from us)
- they are 4-6 in the last ten games
- they have games against the Clippers, Denver x2, the teams up above
- they end the season @Utah, @Phoenix, and vs Denver (although Utah and Phoenix might be resting at that point).
I think Dallas is going to be hard to catch down the stretch, but I would not rule out passing Portland and Memphis and finishing in the 7 spot.
