Important win. If you look at the standings (which you shouldn't, it's way too early in the season, but don't worry, I'm looking at them for you) you'll see that there are eleven competitive teams vying for ten playoff/in spots. The weakest of the group is probably Houston - important to push them down in the standings.

All the psychological shit about breaking the losing streak is probably important too.

Jalen Green isn't really impressive at all for a 2nd overall pick. Extreme athletic freak that's going to get his sometimes but...that's about it. Very mehhhhhh

Rockets weren’t as annoying as they usually are except for Brooks of course

I really don’t get the +/-stats. How is Steph -3 and Kuminga +8 on the NBA App stats?

Expand full comment

So glad we get to watch them play while those poor stat guys just get to jot down numbers. They will never known well Steph played

Expand full comment

It's because Kuminga is better than Steph. Sounds about right to me.

Dillon Brooks and refs limited Steph to 32 points on 8 of 14 shooting (5 of 9 from three) and (checks notes) 11 of 12 from the line (7 of 8 before intentional fouling at the end and one of those was a T). He should have shot at least 20 with the way they were “guarding” him.

Yeah, that was a very physical game.

Can't believe we got Saric for a minimum. What a steal. He's been huge for us this year

Questions: does Apricot still remember how to make an E1P? Did he sell his fancy equipment to pay for more flashy things?

Still waiting for GlueAndBold to send me footage of his date

On one of the earlier breaks (can't remember if it was halftime), they were showing couples on TV, and I was wondering whether one of them was GlueAndBold and his date.

I took German in high school, but it's 40 years in the rearview mirror now.

I do remember Wasserstoffmolekül (sp?) for some crazy reason.

That’s a weird and difficult word to remember. And not that useful… 😂

Wasser means acqua, molekul means molecola

I've tried German - Italian translation on the fly

Too different from Italian, i took English (British) and some Spanish in High School

Expand full comment

According to wikipedia, he was born in 1966.
