Game 10 wrap: Life (and specifically basketball) is the contingent delusion of bewildered humans
GSW fights the odds: 3rd game in 4 nights, Steph out sick, Jimmy hurting, flying into DEN altitude
Please look directly into the light. It will simplify things immensely.
This seems oddly familiar. Have we been here before? Must be something I ate.
Even if we strive to be authentic & follow our own paths in life, we might still end up with a nagging sense that our choices & values don’t really matter — that, from the perspective of the cosmos, they merely signify the contingent delusions of some bewildered humans trying to make themselves feel better. - Camus

Joshu asked two hermits: “Show me the basketball?”
Both raised a ball.
Joshu said: "Hooper!" to the first, "Basketball Player!"to the other."

Zuigan called himself daily: "Hey, hooper!" and answered himself: "Ball don’t stop!"
If you still feel distress, please watch this 10 times.
On to the next one…

LJ Cryer tonight in his first Santa Cruz Warriors game:
25pts
7 assists
4 rebounds
1 steal
8/17 FG
6/12 3PT
Some thoughts:
*The only thing uglier than this game was that court.
*The Nuggets averaged 2 points per Warrior turnover (22 pts, 12 TOVs). They shot 50% from 3P. That's not a recipe for success.
*Very disappointed Jimmy played 30 min. There was never a chance. Save the miles.
*JK was terrible, although he was really focusing on being a distrubutor. Raw +/- is certainly not the be all, end all but Kuminga with Steph this season: +16. Without 30, -29.
*This is only the second time the Dubs have lost with Dray hitting 5+ 3Ps (regular season only). They had been 10-1.
*Podz awful, Buddy awful, Moody missing. QP, Will only real bright spots.
*Aaron Gordon is the best 3P shooter of all time against us. I don't like it. The last 3 seasons he is 24/41, 58.5% in 9 games.
*This probably eliminates us from the NBA cup. So the upside is this likely helps our SoS.
