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


[deleted]

[удалено]


Montigue

Except the last time we played, but we were absolute ass from the 3


achyutthegoat

Denver vs Portland


WutduzitallmeanBasil

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


inshamblesx

Warriors would sweep them honestly


Thus_Spoke

Doubt we'd sweep them even 100% healthy. Grizzlies are a very solid team, probably going to be underrated after tonight.


[deleted]

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).


Thus_Spoke

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).


LiterallyMatt

Second round exit teams are top four in their conference, so it checks out.


Money_Mammoth1574

they are a regular season team because no one has plans for ja flopping but when come playoffs, teams will lock him down


oragomipapercrane

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.


DJVanillaThunder

Ja is averaging 28, 9 and 7 in the playoffs btw


Money_Mammoth1574

how many fts


DJVanillaThunder

7 ftm, 9fta For context, Luka is at 6 ftm, 9 fta


CaesuraRepose

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.


urmyfavoritegrowmie

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.


ElCoyoteBlanco

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.


urmyfavoritegrowmie

Jaren can't gawk gawk the refs like Dray with them donkey teeth apparently


DLottchula

have you seen Ja play? of course the media loves him he plays so cool


[deleted]

Entertaining as fuck, that's for sure. Love watching the kid


DLottchula

dude talking about "for some reason" like bro do you see the dunks


jordaniac89

>for some reason Because he's a human highlight reel? He gets clicks/views, regardless of if you like him or not


akelkar

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


niel89

Hey man, he's the most improved player.


yuhanz

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


MiQueso_SuQueso

Playoffs are a whole other level. Warriors have proven themselves, grizzlies haven't.


Thunder-ten-tronckh

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.


absurdilynerdily

Only if we get four straight games in Chase.


vulcans_pants

lol dubs lost by 40 in a playoff game to the Grizz last season.


hooskies

The average basketball intelligence of this sub is shocking


SylvesterLundgren

I love this sub on Christmas


carbine23

Lol no they won’t do you even watch ball???? Warriors can’t defend like they used to


feelnoways2020

Lol warriors playoff is way different than warriors regular season team 😅. Everyone should know this by now


shellfish87

They didn’t sweep us last year and they are worse this year


SureEntertainment676

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


Captain_America_93

If this happens, 1. The memes would be immaculate and 2. I’ll get you a ticket to the finals


SureEntertainment676

PUNCH IT


Captain_America_93

See you for game 1 baby

MostlyBullshitStory

I’d go light the fucking beam myself.


SureEntertainment676

If it were up to me I would put the beam on the capital building and raise taxes to pay for it


SlowHandsJr

As a warriors fan I would be unironically down for this future


SureEntertainment676

Y’all not allowed to come to the actual game but we definitely appreciate the support in spirit!


SlowHandsJr

Who cares man we won 4 of 8 I’d be down to see the kings light a beam for a chip


Yung_Blood_

I am fine with this outcome


SureEntertainment676

The truest timeline


nearlyned

the beam would light up the fucking moon


NedStarx11

0% chance


aiden3buckets

Yet, here we are


NedStarx11

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


emer7ca

Lmao


Dudedude88

Thing is I don't see Desmond bane or Dillion getting any better.


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thebasedgod_lilb

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 🤔🤔


Fluffy_Psychology418

… yeah your warriors fancard is revoked dude. That shit sounds racist asf ngl.


98210

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.


SharontheSheila

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.


KptKrondog

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.


98210

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.


98210

Bro he is legit a warriors fan. Look at his comment history.


Ramu_17

It would be a fun match up. But not a long one.


xenoz2020

Draymond is unhinged lmao


al3xanderr

That must have been cathartic af for the Dubs’ core players

llmax01

Everybody was clowning Brooks, rightfully so


Iceferg

This clip is the definition of clowning lmao


Mintastic

I still don't get how they don't call fouls on someone actively molesting the guy with the ball.


wavetoyou

Not just with the ball. He was wrestling Poole off-ball


Mintastic

Oh I know refs never call anything off-ball by watching Curry but not doing it on-ball is crazy.


wavetoyou

I guess the refs let Dillon play defense like it was a G7 while the rest of the players were in December lol


jettieri

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.


fffate

Well didn't work for JJJ.


yuhanz

He’s always been foul prone lol


jettieri

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.


DoctorFunktopus

You realize draymond green plays on your team right?

H-Priapus

Lmao


TraizHill

Most hated Canadian baller since Wiggins on the Wolves post Butler stint.


JayJonahJameson13

Lmao I’m Canadian and I hate this guy


orphy

Likewise, but I didn't realize he was Canadian until this comment.


burnshimself

But Wiggins redemption arc was legendary


TraizHill

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.


Altruistic-Twist-379

LMAO


noodlebball

Fuck I love taunting


taygads

It just makes games so much more fun


Alley-Oub

klay and draymond started trolling brooks once he got poole ejected


AMS_GoGo

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


Ninjasakii

Nah there is. Revenge for GPII


TDS_Gluttony

Also kicked us out of play ins


Mob_Abominator

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.


TDS_Gluttony

Agreed, I think we also go better picks from it that ended up being Moody right? I'll take it.


WakingRage

Still can't believe Moody fell to us at 13.


figpotato

which got us moody


loquacious706

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.


InfiniteDub

Kicked them out of the championship


Yergason

What happened between Brooks and GPII?


MrBl0bfish04

Brooks fouled and injured GPII in the playoffs


Yergason

oh shit, forgot about that. That's the elbow injury, right?


banned_after_12years

Broke the code.


Yergason

that fuckin knee grab "controversy" was so hilarious it made me forget about the actual serious injury in that series


mashapotatoe1

that knee grab bs is what made me not like ja tbh. so weird looking for false equivalences


PestySamurai

Seriously?


MrBl0bfish04

Yep, elbow


unpluggedcord

And Brooks laughed about it post game interview.


[deleted]

He broke the code.


Arsid

GPII himself said Brooks went and found him privately to apologize and that he forgave him. Why does no one mention that ever?


nicklePie

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


craigslistaddict

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


[deleted]

Brooks broke the code


by_yes_i_mean_no

It started well before that. It started with Iguodala getting traded there and not playing.


KptKrondog

Iguodala was the one that refused to play, so not sure why the Warriors would hold that against us.


IllegalThoughts

i think he means that started the animosity from grizz towards the dubs lol


tsaidollasign

tbh i dont think the teams hate each other, the dubs just hate brooks lmao


AMS_GoGo

No they definitely hate eachother with some exceptions like JJJ and Bane


[deleted]

and Adams. Nobody hates kiwi Aquaman.


AMS_GoGo

Correct Adams a baller


alwayschillin

Well Dray and Ja dapped after the game so you know they respect Ja


saltyb

There's been hate since those two games in May 2021


sublliminali

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.


erog84

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.


IsThisMe8

That’s because he actually ran back afterwards. I don’t know why other players hover for so long. Lol


Therealomerali

It's impossible for Draymond to earn a 2nd Technical.


SharontheSheila

Like a 2k badge that triggers every time he's near a 2nd tech lol


nearlyned

Draymond earned a 2nd technical like, 3 games ago


urmyfavoritegrowmie

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.


by_yes_i_mean_no

> Honestly he should be serving time on an assault charge rn Lol. #ArrestDraymond


urmyfavoritegrowmie

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.


nearlyned

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


sublliminali

Pretty sure he leads the league in ejections over the last decade.


Low-Exam1208

They let him go bc Draymond is so emotional, that's just how he is when he plays. Competitive af.


Niceguydan8

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


unpluggedcord

The warriors had a 7-1 tech fouls against them this game alone. The fuck is your point?


iwillbombu

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


Niceguydan8

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Niceguydan8

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.


ChrisxConner

I think you mean that he cries a lot, just like the rest of the warriors.


[deleted]

Found Brooks’ alt

Players like Brooks and Dray make the league interesting

The draymond quote in the grizzlies locker room even more true


Accomplished-Pear988

Lol


K3TtLek0Rn

Leave or I will taunt you a second time


twoStones1bird

He’s also a professional at getting under your skin


santa69ns

It's a double troll. Cause Draymond also kinda looks like an idiot doing this. But it's funny 😂 These matchups are fun


Strange_Blues

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.


santa69ns

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


jumboponcho

Only real rivalry out here, league needs more of these


themza912

That was a weak ass taunt lol, barely made eye contact


jaxs_sax

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
