Game 11 wrap: (no spoiler title)

letdown or beatdown against short-handed Pels?

Spoiler Protection Pet: Walter White

Hey Eric,

Huge fan of the newsletter and e1p. Here’s Walter White, a Samoyed whose favorite activity is sleeping but he’s also a big dubs fan. He’s still working on tightening up his handle but isn’t that what the offseason is for.

Go dubs!

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 11 wrap: Dubs win by 51 over short-handed Pelicans

Short-handed, tired Pelicans play like it, GSW has no letdown

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.

Even the emperors of Always Close Enough To Hurt™ deserve a night off every now and then. This one was over by the end of the first quarter, and just got over-er and over-er with every minute.

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.
