EA, as you can see from my handle, I'm a big fan. I nixed the idea of spamming the threads with lots of "Focaccia!" comments to mark my presence because I figured it'd be annoying and I didn't want that in my inaugural appearance. Anyway, all this to say I love the E1Ps. Thanks for all your hard work! It's very much appreciated.

Thank you for your encouragement and I hope you find a welcoming community here!

And as for spamming “Foccacia”, my goodness, please watch your language, I’ll have you know this is a family friendly site

I agree Apricot, where are our cheap CP3 fouls that we are so used to getting called against us??

We made an honest man out of CP3, and y'all are complaining that he's too upright! 🤣

Damn straight, I want to be the beneficiary of some cheap-ass CP3 BS for once in my basketball-watching life instead of the victim of it!

Maybe he's saving them up for the playoffs and meanwhile lulling the other teams into complacency, not expecting what's coming when it matters most. Then he'll turn on the cheap fouls and flops that are borderline enough to not get penalized.

I'll accept this hypothesis and praise your predictive acumen if we get to see some of that CP3 black magic in the postseason.

while watching the around the world ball slowing decide to go thru ....I couldn't help but think that was Steph's way of taking 2 more seconds off the game clock from the pistons.

I’m appalled that I was not taught body English at the translators course, it’s an essential subject that should be included asap.

I will say Eric that while I love the E1Ps that you plan on advance more I also love these "live reaction" ones bc I feel like we get more of your emotional reaction to what happens and let's us relive some of the moments. Basically you can't lose

Great commentary. My friend said she was too busy to watch but ended up spellbound and laughing

Maybe Podz is aware that there is only so much night-night energy available in the universe? By reversing the polarity of the celebration he channels that energy back into the reservoir so it can be used again, and again , and again.

I would posit that the road W-L record this year backs this theory up, and is reinforced by what happened in the the rook's absence from the bench.

Your theory definitely deserves more investigation

Steph tapped the night-night well for the 21-22 championship run, that run depleted it and it has a really slow recharge rate.

Witness 22-23 and all it's chaotic bad energy.

Podz is then drafted by the Warriors and as a high BBIQ player who must dabble in the metaphysical formulates a theory. He can help keep that well full by reversing the night-night polarity bringing chaotic good energy to the Dubs.

So far it seems to be working.

Only 90 more games to see if that attempt to balance and recharge is enough.

It’s all honorable. Yes! Physical and metaphysical powers. Yes! Another classic and fun E1P.

Janet, it is really nice to see your comment here and more comments from women on this site. Keep it up. My wife is a big fan, but I hog the keyboard.

How nice and thanks! I’m a Warriors fanatic and love this site but sometimes feel out of my comfort zone. Your message and more comments from women are super appreciated!

Expand full comment

Sometimes it's hard to tell (I see you Focaccia Homer!) but I'm glad our Warrior Wonder Women feel more comfortable to post here than I imagine it might be than other tribes.

I do wonder, does Steph attract more female homer fans because he seems to play with a secure and mature balance of masculine/feminine energy?

Not to devalue Steph's attraction, but the comfort level of the women and their fearless commentaries helped a lot with my decision to delurk. Also, the playful and witty banter and overall camaraderie didn't hurt.

Intriguing points especially about Steph - it’s true for me. I want to shout out the DNHQ team, too, which has been so welcoming from day one, no matter my BBIQ skill level. I’m a willing and able student though. And I always admire a well turned phrase!

Expand full comment

Yeah, I certainly appreciate that the face of my team seems like an overall balanced and goofy family man, but I came here because the DNHQ staff and commenters avoid most of the worse impulses of internet discourse! I don't engage in basically any other fam website, for the Warriors or otherwise

Expand full comment

Likewise!

there’s definitely not a short supply of well turned phrases here!

while i’ve laughed out loud from reading comments more than anywhere else, it’s really the bunch of folks who are not only knowledgeable but seem genuinely nice that keep me invested.
