Just checked in on the Warriors v Grizz score ...

Memphis are a dark horse contender

Underestimate them at your peril.

Will Draymond run to social media to bitch again? Ejection incoming in 2nd half probably.

They decide the NT games before the season starts (which is a bit ridiculous if you ask me)

Also the Thunder are not the best team in the NBA, we saw that in the Cup Final when they were waxed by the Bucks.


They've already flexed 2 Hawks games off the national TV schedule. They can change it whenever they want to.

Eta. In fact, tonight's ATL/SAS game was flexed off in favor of this ORL/OKC game. GJ, TNT.

Steph/Schroder is too small of a backcourt to be successful. It's not gonna work unless they're massive elsewhere, which they're not lol.

Holy **** Draymond's statline is killing me. 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0-4 shooting, 3 TOs, 4 PFs, -34 +/- in 15 minutes lmfao

Bulls deserve a ton of credit tonight.

Funny team. Much tougher away than home it seems.

We don't deserve to win, too many 3 ball and defensive lapses

Not the end of the world, just been so Rusty tonight.

Missing Hauser off the bench. Springer doesn't have the offensive game we need.

Grizz offense is interesting. They've run one on-ball pick so far in 6 or so possessions this Q. On the 2nd possession Edey wanted to set an on-ball pick for Ja so bad, but you could see him stop himself.

Yeah I saw that youtube video showing this.
