Brilliant and hilarious as always. Nicely done!

These E1Ps are so informative. Thank you Eric. But I often wonder if we’re revealing too much of the team’s plays and strategies for the competition’s scouts (if they’re reading these articles).

Other sites' writers call us the "Apricot's cult followers", I like to compare us to my college son who never wants to graduate, 7 years and counting... never gets old with endless fun and learning

"preponderatingly because

unless statistics lie, he was

more Green than me,

more Steph than you."

There's something about that soothing voice saying hellooo everybody that sends a surge of joy through a person. Great to have E1P again.

It didn't merit EP1 treatment, but I was also happy to see the many successful and "professional" plays between JP and DG. I suppose I never doubted it, but it was a nice non-story.

The bench celebrations are definitely still in preseason form. Hoping for a lot of development from the young guns on that front, after we lost some of our best celebration facilitators in JTA and DLee.

LOL. JMG’s expression. So relatable.

and we're back in business. All that talk about the game slowing down for JK... didn't see it yesterday. He was probably just too juiced for ring night and playing Lebron. Settle down young fella. Long season.

Regarding the rings and the Larry O'Brien trophies hidden behind the trapdoor representing championships won with the team:

So does Livingston's ring also have 4 trophies? Does Zaza have 3? Blur with 2?

A corollary of “nobody got fired for following Steph” is “nobody got fired for screening for Steph”

Man, even when I think I know what I'm watching, I don't know shit compared to EA. Thanks for the amazing breakdown. Glad to have you back.
