Spoiler Protection Pet: Shalomy
Hi Eric,
Thank so much for curating such an amazing community. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the videos and articles. I especially especially love those of Daniel and Punk Basketball, but really everyone is so engaging. I am learning so much.This is Shalomy. He plays center. Coach Kerr keeps telling him to sprint the floor but he prefers to saunter; therefore his minutes have been kept to a minimum. He doesn’t care, he likes a warm bench. He’s a loving teammate, but gets cranky when the spacing is off. He is at all the team dinners, and when he sees another four-legged inside the arc, he’s a ferocious competitor.
Warrrrriorrrss, (shamarosa)
Pet Picture Rotation
General offer to DNHQ: if you send me a tasteful picture of your loved animal, I will add it to the rotation of Game Wrap animal pictures.
Ideally, wearing DNHQ gear or Warriors gear, but having gear somewhere in the picture is great, or even without is okay.
No AI please.

Game 10 wrap: Dubs explode, collapse, win in OT; Steph is unstoppable down stretch
Yaxelotl chips in 23, Dray has 13 assists
Official Box Score
The official Always Close Enough To Hurt™ audit
Here is a home-grown graph of the game win probability tonight. The gray line is the actual score difference. The chart looks about right to me, but if you use this for anything important or anything bad like gambling, then you get what you get.
Every OT game is Close Enough To Hurt™. But one where GSW blows a big lead super quickly? We deem this Always Close Enough To Hurt™.
APRIBOX Scores
It’s okay if you don’t know what all these stats are. My high-strung computer calculates some rough advanced statistics for the game.1
Teal = better, blood orange = worse.

If I didn’t include your favorite player, sorry! There are only 5 slots available. Write a tribute comment at DubNationHQ.com instead.
On Site Comments and Politics
Reminder that I do not want DNHQ to become a political discussion. Politics is much more important than basketball. These events should be discussed widely and people should call their Senators and Congresspeople, and organize locally, but there are much better places than here. This is a little corner of the internet to get away from that.
On to the next one…

man, ORL 24 OREB, GSW 3 OREB. That's almost impossible to overcome.
I forgot to add to the game wrap, but APRIBOT still has GSW at #7. HOU, MIN, OKC, DET, LAL, SAS, GSW. APRIBOT thinks the East stiiiinks. Second team in East is #10 CLE and #11 NYK, and both are better than #12 PHL despite PHL's record.
