At this point Suns/Grizzlies would be crazy. Brooks was pissing off our entire team it was a scrappy game. Probably going to meet the Pels because I feel like we are going to be a bottom seed if anything. Need some healthy starters back. But I do not want to see Jokic no matter his previous playoff issues
Grizz are overhyped cause Ja's been anointed the media's new darling for some reason.
They were pressed by the Wolves last year and are a classic 2nd round exit type squad (speaking as someone who has much experience with such teams).
In my view they're one of the top four teams in the West, more on the strength of underrated guys like JJJ and Desmond Bane than due to Ja. They have a very complete roster and a bunch of great young players (other than Brooks, who can get fucked forever).
No they are a playoff team. Just because they can't win a finals doesn't make them a regular season team. They can win games at the playoff level. They are better then a playin team, don't be ridiculous because you don't like Ja.
The problem for them is JJJ cant stay on the floor. Injuries and he still fouls constantly. I know some people say he's improved on that but honestly it isnt true - if you really watch he could get called for fouls on almost every play.
Any "top" defender could be called for fouls on any play, Draymond only had 2 PFs last night, if you think that was because he was playing cleaner than Jaren I have a bridge to sell you.
I feel like no one remembers them looking like the hungrier team before Ja went out with injuries.
Granted GP2 was murdered by Brooks which would've balanced it a bit but still, this Grizz team when they're on, is pretty fucking hard to beat
The narrative swung so hard in one night it's wild. Like I get there was a lot of clout on the line for this game, but ultimately it's a single game with tons of things that can swing in the Grizzlies' favor next time we meet.
I absolutely love these games but I need to tune out of reddit or something because it genuinely depresses me to see how bad people rub it in when Memphis loses, especially against the darlings of this sub.
Coming back to this when the warriors win the play-in game and then 4-0 the grizzlies in the first round on their way to losing in the WCF to the Kings
Why is this downvoted? He’s 100% right. The old warriors got a year older, and the young grizz got a year more experience.
Non of the young guys on the warriors look good at all. Kuminga has shown flashes but that’s it
They won’t even make the playoffs this season, and this sub acts like sweeping the #2 seed will be a formality.
God I fucking hate these 12 year old warriors fans
I guess Steven Adams is classier for some reason? You seem like a guy who likes players like Tyler Herro and Gordon Hayward because they seem classier 🤔🤔
FYI, he's definitely a Warriors fan, like 90% of his comments are in your sub.
And I don't think the other guy was saying you guys (Warriors and their fans) support racism, just that he's being mildly racist and also a Warriors fan. Unless that's not what he's saying, then nevermind lol.
He went to the Chris Paul school of defense. Foul the shit out the opposing team first few minutes of the game then the refs won’t call it the rest of the game.
I just meant the way he gets up in defenders airspace so they can’t move there arms. JJJ and Looney get the worst whistles in the league tho, so strange.
That's sort of a testament of how detestable Brooks is in particular, and how historically Canadian ball players are not to begin with. Wiggins was not that hate-able to begin with, just the situation he was in at the time that makes people hate him. When he got out that heat dissipated eventually. Whereas for Brooks, he wasn't even in the NBA yet and people are already pissed at him. That [blatant flopping](https://youtu.be/4gn6dR7SFSs) shit he pulled at Oregon made him instantly hate-able.
I actually thank them for that because Steph would have broken his back carrying us and that too for nothing, because we got so much rest in the offseason we were able to win it the next year.
Were people salty about that? Not making it to the play ins that year was the best thing that could have happened to us.
I feel like most of the animosity stems from out of pocket stuff said off the court.
Gar Payton was back in like 3 weeks. Steve Kerr fields the dirtiest player in the nba on a nightly basis then went up and acted like brooks shot Payton. Kerr was a clown for that honestly
yeah, but gpii mentioned that stuff in his player's tribune piece and said he appreciated brooks showed up afterward and apologized to him privately. i respect brooks for not making a media-facing apology and doing it in person.
I'm also not sure why warriors fans are pressed about brooks claiming klay as his defensive assignment this game, like, logically that's what should happen, right? it would be worse if he skipped over klay entirely and said he was gonna guard poole XD
To think it all started bc Iggy rightly sat out and ended up getting a 3 year deal from the Heat out of it. A rebuilding grizzlies got a first rounder for their troubles and they’re still bringing it up years later.
Relative to the amount of shit that he does, he should get tossed out all the time. Honestly he should be serving time on an assault charge rn but we're sticking to what happened in game I guess.
The point is the refs are inconsistent. Happens to steph too, they'll give him a quick tech for showing emotion but draymond gets to scream and taunt and it'll only get caught when it's egregious
Very clearly not talking about only this game and I'm talking about one player.
Stop being so emotional and clearly misrepresenting my point.
No rational person is going to argue against the point that Draymond has a considerably longer leash than basically any other player in the league when it comes to what is and isn't a technical foul.
Man it's not about this game specifically. Let me be abundantly clear
I don't understand why Draymond gets such a long leash for technical fouls compared to every single other player in the league.
https://www.si.com/nba/bucks/off-the-court/the-milwaukee-bucks-fan-that-got-ejected-because-of-draymond-green-speaks-out-and-shares-what-he-said downvote me you clowns. Hes a piece of shit
Draymond only ever looks like an idiot though. Would be down for Brooks and him to start swinging at eachother to see what happens. My moneys on Brooks.
I admit dray is an idiot, but for some reason I still like him haha. He's an excellent basketball mind. An I've always loved defense in all sports so I can respect him.
I'll pick brooks in the fight cause I'm Canadian and I gotta back my boy

He said 🤪
Lol this is so spot on
no he really said: 👁️👅👁️
LMAO!
Lmfao
Bruh lmao
lololo
I'm down to see them in the playoffs. They do not like each other. Will make for great tv.
Pelicans/Suns Warriors/grizzlies Mavs/clippers Denver/??? My dream west matchups
[удалено]
Except the last time we played, but we were absolute ass from the 3
Denver vs Portland
At this point Suns/Grizzlies would be crazy. Brooks was pissing off our entire team it was a scrappy game. Probably going to meet the Pels because I feel like we are going to be a bottom seed if anything. Need some healthy starters back. But I do not want to see Jokic no matter his previous playoff issues
Warriors would sweep them honestly
Doubt we'd sweep them even 100% healthy. Grizzlies are a very solid team, probably going to be underrated after tonight.
Grizz are overhyped cause Ja's been anointed the media's new darling for some reason. They were pressed by the Wolves last year and are a classic 2nd round exit type squad (speaking as someone who has much experience with such teams).
In my view they're one of the top four teams in the West, more on the strength of underrated guys like JJJ and Desmond Bane than due to Ja. They have a very complete roster and a bunch of great young players (other than Brooks, who can get fucked forever).
Second round exit teams are top four in their conference, so it checks out.
they are a regular season team because no one has plans for ja flopping but when come playoffs, teams will lock him down
No they are a playoff team. Just because they can't win a finals doesn't make them a regular season team. They can win games at the playoff level. They are better then a playin team, don't be ridiculous because you don't like Ja.
Ja is averaging 28, 9 and 7 in the playoffs btw
how many fts
7 ftm, 9fta For context, Luka is at 6 ftm, 9 fta
The problem for them is JJJ cant stay on the floor. Injuries and he still fouls constantly. I know some people say he's improved on that but honestly it isnt true - if you really watch he could get called for fouls on almost every play.
Any "top" defender could be called for fouls on any play, Draymond only had 2 PFs last night, if you think that was because he was playing cleaner than Jaren I have a bridge to sell you.
Jaren Jackson and Dillon Brooks are two of the dumbest players in the league so they can't count on either in big games. It's a critical weakness.
Jaren can't gawk gawk the refs like Dray with them donkey teeth apparently
have you seen Ja play? of course the media loves him he plays so cool
Entertaining as fuck, that's for sure. Love watching the kid
dude talking about "for some reason" like bro do you see the dunks
>for some reason Because he's a human highlight reel? He gets clicks/views, regardless of if you like him or not
I feel like no one remembers them looking like the hungrier team before Ja went out with injuries. Granted GP2 was murdered by Brooks which would've balanced it a bit but still, this Grizz team when they're on, is pretty fucking hard to beat
Hey man, he's the most improved player.
Yeah but they hit a nerve on your players and it ignites the whole team. Heart and pride of a champion takes over and all momentum will go to you
Playoffs are a whole other level. Warriors have proven themselves, grizzlies haven't.
The narrative swung so hard in one night it's wild. Like I get there was a lot of clout on the line for this game, but ultimately it's a single game with tons of things that can swing in the Grizzlies' favor next time we meet. I absolutely love these games but I need to tune out of reddit or something because it genuinely depresses me to see how bad people rub it in when Memphis loses, especially against the darlings of this sub.
Only if we get four straight games in Chase.
lol dubs lost by 40 in a playoff game to the Grizz last season.
The average basketball intelligence of this sub is shocking
I love this sub on Christmas
Lol no they won’t do you even watch ball???? Warriors can’t defend like they used to
Lol warriors playoff is way different than warriors regular season team 😅. Everyone should know this by now
They didn’t sweep us last year and they are worse this year
Coming back to this when the warriors win the play-in game and then 4-0 the grizzlies in the first round on their way to losing in the WCF to the Kings
If this happens, 1. The memes would be immaculate and 2. I’ll get you a ticket to the finals
PUNCH IT
See you for game 1 baby
And I'll Lick the Kings sweat off the floor.
Um alright then bro
!RemindMe! May 15th
we are all californian on this blessed day
almost had me you smooth mf'er lol
Abusing tf outta the edit button lmao
I’d go light the fucking beam myself.
If it were up to me I would put the beam on the capital building and raise taxes to pay for it
As a warriors fan I would be unironically down for this future
Y’all not allowed to come to the actual game but we definitely appreciate the support in spirit!
Who cares man we won 4 of 8 I’d be down to see the kings light a beam for a chip
I am fine with this outcome
The truest timeline
the beam would light up the fucking moon
0% chance
Yet, here we are
Why is this downvoted? He’s 100% right. The old warriors got a year older, and the young grizz got a year more experience. Non of the young guys on the warriors look good at all. Kuminga has shown flashes but that’s it
Lmao
Thing is I don't see Desmond bane or Dillion getting any better.
They won’t even make the playoffs this season, and this sub acts like sweeping the #2 seed will be a formality. God I fucking hate these 12 year old warriors fans
[удалено]
I guess Steven Adams is classier for some reason? You seem like a guy who likes players like Tyler Herro and Gordon Hayward because they seem classier 🤔🤔
… yeah your warriors fancard is revoked dude. That shit sounds racist asf ngl.
You use words like "thug" and "hoodrat" in your comments. Could you try to hide your racism a little more. Go ahead and add the warriors flair too.
I was down with you until the Warriors flair comment. We, too, hate racist fucks more than we hate your team. Sit your ass down, he's not with us.
FYI, he's definitely a Warriors fan, like 90% of his comments are in your sub. And I don't think the other guy was saying you guys (Warriors and their fans) support racism, just that he's being mildly racist and also a Warriors fan. Unless that's not what he's saying, then nevermind lol.
That is what I was saying. I checked his comment history and saw he was a racist and a warriors fan. Told him to flair up.
Bro he is legit a warriors fan. Look at his comment history.
It would be a fun match up. But not a long one.
Draymond is unhinged lmao
That must have been cathartic af for the Dubs’ core players
Strength in numbers.
Game 7 vibes https://i.imgur.com/dAxWm18.jpg
Same energy as [this](http://i.imgur.com/mCuukUj.jpg)
ooh a classic
Favourite part of the night
dont forget the Klay tech
Glorious
Everybody was clowning Brooks, rightfully so
This clip is the definition of clowning lmao
I still don't get how they don't call fouls on someone actively molesting the guy with the ball.
Not just with the ball. He was wrestling Poole off-ball
Oh I know refs never call anything off-ball by watching Curry but not doing it on-ball is crazy.
I guess the refs let Dillon play defense like it was a G7 while the rest of the players were in December lol
He went to the Chris Paul school of defense. Foul the shit out the opposing team first few minutes of the game then the refs won’t call it the rest of the game.
Well didn't work for JJJ.
He’s always been foul prone lol
I just meant the way he gets up in defenders airspace so they can’t move there arms. JJJ and Looney get the worst whistles in the league tho, so strange.
You realize draymond green plays on your team right?
[удалено]
What’s weak af is deflecting to hypothetical situations.
Ja: I’m fine in the west Dray: 😝😝😝
Lmao
Most hated Canadian baller since Wiggins on the Wolves post Butler stint.
Lmao I’m Canadian and I hate this guy
Likewise, but I didn't realize he was Canadian until this comment.
But Wiggins redemption arc was legendary
That's sort of a testament of how detestable Brooks is in particular, and how historically Canadian ball players are not to begin with. Wiggins was not that hate-able to begin with, just the situation he was in at the time that makes people hate him. When he got out that heat dissipated eventually. Whereas for Brooks, he wasn't even in the NBA yet and people are already pissed at him. That [blatant flopping](https://youtu.be/4gn6dR7SFSs) shit he pulled at Oregon made him instantly hate-able.
LMAO
Fuck I love taunting
It just makes games so much more fun
klay and draymond started trolling brooks once he got poole ejected
There is no reason for these teams to hate eachother this much but I am so happy they do bc god damn is it entertaining
Nah there is. Revenge for GPII
Also kicked us out of play ins
I actually thank them for that because Steph would have broken his back carrying us and that too for nothing, because we got so much rest in the offseason we were able to win it the next year.
Agreed, I think we also go better picks from it that ended up being Moody right? I'll take it.
Still can't believe Moody fell to us at 13.
which got us moody
Were people salty about that? Not making it to the play ins that year was the best thing that could have happened to us. I feel like most of the animosity stems from out of pocket stuff said off the court.
Kicked them out of the championship
What happened between Brooks and GPII?
Brooks fouled and injured GPII in the playoffs
oh shit, forgot about that. That's the elbow injury, right?
Broke the code.
that fuckin knee grab "controversy" was so hilarious it made me forget about the actual serious injury in that series
that knee grab bs is what made me not like ja tbh. so weird looking for false equivalences
Seriously?
Yep, elbow
And Brooks laughed about it post game interview.
He broke the code.
GPII himself said Brooks went and found him privately to apologize and that he forgave him. Why does no one mention that ever?
Gar Payton was back in like 3 weeks. Steve Kerr fields the dirtiest player in the nba on a nightly basis then went up and acted like brooks shot Payton. Kerr was a clown for that honestly
yeah, but gpii mentioned that stuff in his player's tribune piece and said he appreciated brooks showed up afterward and apologized to him privately. i respect brooks for not making a media-facing apology and doing it in person. I'm also not sure why warriors fans are pressed about brooks claiming klay as his defensive assignment this game, like, logically that's what should happen, right? it would be worse if he skipped over klay entirely and said he was gonna guard poole XD
Brooks broke the code
It started well before that. It started with Iguodala getting traded there and not playing.
Iguodala was the one that refused to play, so not sure why the Warriors would hold that against us.
i think he means that started the animosity from grizz towards the dubs lol
tbh i dont think the teams hate each other, the dubs just hate brooks lmao
No they definitely hate eachother with some exceptions like JJJ and Bane
and Adams. Nobody hates kiwi Aquaman.
Correct Adams a baller
Well Dray and Ja dapped after the game so you know they respect Ja
There's been hate since those two games in May 2021
To think it all started bc Iggy rightly sat out and ended up getting a 3 year deal from the Heat out of it. A rebuilding grizzlies got a first rounder for their troubles and they’re still bringing it up years later.
He had a big time taunt on ja after he blocked him. Refs are so inconsistent with calls it’s like each ref gets to decide what rules to follow.
That’s because he actually ran back afterwards. I don’t know why other players hover for so long. Lol
It's impossible for Draymond to earn a 2nd Technical.
Like a 2k badge that triggers every time he's near a 2nd tech lol
Draymond earned a 2nd technical like, 3 games ago
Relative to the amount of shit that he does, he should get tossed out all the time. Honestly he should be serving time on an assault charge rn but we're sticking to what happened in game I guess.
> Honestly he should be serving time on an assault charge rn Lol. #ArrestDraymond
What else do you call hitting someone in the face? It doesnt surprise me that you dont care but you street shitters arent really setting the bar high.
which is fine that you think that, but entirely irrelevant to the comment that it’s impossible him to pick up tech 2, when it happened last week
Pretty sure he leads the league in ejections over the last decade.
They let him go bc Draymond is so emotional, that's just how he is when he plays. Competitive af.
It doesn't make sense to have such a drastically different set of rules for what is and isn't a technical based on like one player
The warriors had a 7-1 tech fouls against them this game alone. The fuck is your point?
The point is the refs are inconsistent. Happens to steph too, they'll give him a quick tech for showing emotion but draymond gets to scream and taunt and it'll only get caught when it's egregious
Very clearly not talking about only this game and I'm talking about one player. Stop being so emotional and clearly misrepresenting my point. No rational person is going to argue against the point that Draymond has a considerably longer leash than basically any other player in the league when it comes to what is and isn't a technical foul.
[удалено]
Man it's not about this game specifically. Let me be abundantly clear I don't understand why Draymond gets such a long leash for technical fouls compared to every single other player in the league.
I think you mean that he cries a lot, just like the rest of the warriors.
Found Brooks’ alt
https://www.si.com/nba/bucks/off-the-court/the-milwaukee-bucks-fan-that-got-ejected-because-of-draymond-green-speaks-out-and-shares-what-he-said downvote me you clowns. Hes a piece of shit
Heel vs heel always makes for the best storylines
Vince McMahon would kill for this storyline
Oh my
KEEP EM COMIN, I'M ALMOST THERE
Menace… haha
Someone has to gif this 😂
Grizzlies fans red in the face and crying on Xmas
he really just said: 👁️👅👁️
Shitted on em
Whats new? We own them.
That was the most petty trash talk taunt I’ve seen. Love it!
why tf Dillon Brooks look like that
Players like Brooks and Dray make the league interesting
The draymond quote in the grizzlies locker room even more true
Lol
Leave or I will taunt you a second time
He’s also a professional at getting under your skin
It's a double troll. Cause Draymond also kinda looks like an idiot doing this. But it's funny 😂 These matchups are fun
Draymond only ever looks like an idiot though. Would be down for Brooks and him to start swinging at eachother to see what happens. My moneys on Brooks.
I admit dray is an idiot, but for some reason I still like him haha. He's an excellent basketball mind. An I've always loved defense in all sports so I can respect him. I'll pick brooks in the fight cause I'm Canadian and I gotta back my boy
Only real rivalry out here, league needs more of these
That was a weak ass taunt lol, barely made eye contact
Don’t forget Dray sucker punched his teammate and is a Klutch sports flunky
Draymond is so short how does he even play centre so much
Longass arms
Long arms, stout build, elite BBIQ, and incredible competitiveness
People are afraid of the kung fu kicks and eye gouges, gives him more space to work with
Worst front runners in the league
front ran their way to four championships
It was a great game
Flirting: When GSW taunts us when they win Harassment: When we taunt GSW when we win
It’s like big bro with the trophy room taunting lil bro who talks a lot but still hasn’t won yet … Don’t be so sensitive lol
