The @memgrizz first team to score < 100 points and still win vs Golden State.

The Warriors entered tonight 44-0 when holding teams < 100.

And I get what Chuck and some people say about GSW and how they are just a jump shooting team...

Yes their 2 best players are great shooters.

But they led the NBA in FG% and were 2nd in points in the paint. They are much more than just a jump shooting team.

You're right.

They are an all-around, incredible team.

However, the grizz, when semi-healthy, make good teams bad.

And that's their mo.

20% from 3? Pretty much the kind of night GSW has to have to lose right now. Glad Memphis is going to at least make it a series.

But it's all predicated on their outside shooting.

They rely on the outside shot a lot. Yes, Curry can get to the rim and create, but a lot of that is based on the defenses having to overplay on him, Thompson, and other guys when they're hot. If they aren't hitting threes and shoot like they did tonight from the outside, they are going to lose most of the games they play against the teams left in the Western Conference.

The Clippers can go inside if they aren't hitting threes. Chris Paul is maybe the best mid-range player in basketball, and is probably the best pick-and-roll point guard in the league as well.

The Grizz have a pretty solid pick-and-roll game with Conley healthy, and then they have to two grinders down low.

I think the Warriors are going to win this series, and that they're a very good team. Like Kenny Smith said, jump shooting teams don't usually win titles. However, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are the guys to do it. And they are a very good defensive team.

I like the Warriors. I guess I'll say this: If I had to take the Warriors or the field right now, I'd absolutely take the field. And that's knowing that if they get by Memphis, there's really only two other teams that could beat them. So hopefully they have to go through those two teams.

Good lord Gasol was getting molested with no call and bam, touch Curry and whistles.


People were mocking Pelicans fans during the first round when we complained about it, but the shite is out of control. The moving screens drive me fricking nuts. They get open looks because Bogus sets screens like a left tackle. Also, pay attention to him when they drive to the basket. Bogus either does the same, or he'll blatantly hug a post defender to keep him from defending the rim.

Dude, I don't think James Harden posts here, so I'm not sure who you're talking to.

Love Mike Conley. Of all the Ohio State players in the NBA, I never imagined he would have as great of a career as he is having. He's just a rock solid PG. Big fan of Conley!

Lefties from Ohio State have been killing it in the league recently (Michael Redd).
