3 games in the loss column behind the second through fourth worst teams. Working out pretty well. Might need to extend that lead a bit more for when Curry comes back.

Is there really no way to get rid of the "update your profile" screen that comes up when trying to post a new comment?

From what I can gather, the only way to get it to stop asking is to have email notifications for "Newsletter posts" enabled in your account settings.

I just tested it right now when I went into my account settings and un-ticked the box, and when I tried to post right now it gave me the "update your profile" window.

Good catch. Sorry, we've reported this to Substack, and hope we can get some comment improvements soon

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any...

You guys going to get a paypal account going?

For what purpose? If you mean to accept donations, we don’t have one yet. Substack makes you use Stripe to accept payments, and they accept everything EXCEPT Paypal, who is their mortal enemy. If there is some demand, we can try to figure out something with Paypal, but Substack discourages us from hacking a payment flow outside of theirs.

Hey SoL, can you write this in a Google Doc with all the formatting you’d normally use? Then I can paste it with formatting into the article proper.

Whatever, I chalked this one up in the loss column a month ago.

yeah, we have a pretty good chance at a win against the Cavs next game. I'm sure everyone on the Dubs is more than ready for a win.

Warriors are 1-15 since December 27th. Only one solitary win in the entire month of January (over Orlando on 1/18)

they're essentially already eliminated. if curry's hand wouldn't have been as bad as it was then maybe they could have made a run, but there's just no chance with all the games he's missed and will continue to miss

I'm anxious with how this team is built. I can't see Curry adding more than 15 wins, if even that much. 5 more from Klay. We'll still have a long way to go.
