Oh wow. Beautiful E1P. Love to see Steph play from every angle.

Looking ahead at the December schedule, and it’s a doozy. We start with our second game against Phoenix on 12/3 kicking off a short four game home stand. We go on the road the next five games and have back to back road back to backs, finishing in Toronto. We come back to a mix of home and away games with our second game @PHX headlining on Christmas on ABC - and the network execs must be salivating at that matchup. All told it’s 14 games in 28 days.

Hollinger eats a big helping of crow. I’ll post a snippet or two tomorrow. Sub to the athletic. It’s cheap.

Classic E1P! So many great moments, but I especially loved the series of freeze frames as Steph walks away from the ref.

I am really crushing out on how this team doesn’t take their foot off the gas. I keep waiting for the let downs we all know and “love” but this year is different.

Clippers: We lost to the Warriors, but don't worry. Pelicans are an easy opponent, and we'll beat 'em easily!

Ingram and Valaciunas: Are you sure about that?

Watching E1Ps always bring me pure joy, but with this one I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed so hard…so much gratitude for you, EA!

Lovely E1P. Only thing missing: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/steph-curry-sends-gary-payton-ii-flying-chest-bump-after-3-point-barrage. I saw a better angle somewhere and Steph absolutely wiped GP2 out with the chest bump, he was so fired up.

Warriors defenders were like a school of piranha whenever a Clipper tried to come across the middle or was underneath the basket, I love the intense physicality shown but do hope Kerr finds a way of reducing Dray$s minutes going forward, he was taking a real pounding down low, that would mean more emphasis on JTA and leaving him off the floor for Iguodala minutes, JTA can only benefit come the playoffs with more responsibility now
