Dray gets a flagrant 2 just before halftime for the slap and jersey pull, then acts like a clown after he's ejected.

Good ejection. That shit doesn't fly in todays NBA.

Also, fuck Draymond Green.

The Warriors getting away with playing Wiggins at Center for most of the 4th quarter is crazy.

And the Grizzlies probably just realized they're not playing the air headed Wolves in the clutch anymore.

Warriors got multiple shots on practically every offensive possession down the stretch, despite the fact that they were playing that small lineup. They just flew around and got to the ball. JJJ ended up having a great game, but he's only got four defensive rebounds in 30+ minutes of playing time. When he's by far the biggest guy on the court, he's got to secure those boards late in the game.

Memphis could've won, but they didn't. Warriors could've (easily) lost, but they didn't. I still think this series is just getting started; I predicted Memphis in 7 back at the beginning of the playoffs, and I think they'll prove to be a tough out.

Yikes

Imagine thinking that's clever.

That deserved an ejection. Grabbing his jersey and pulling him to the ground was just dumb.

And that was after the windup and contact with his face with his other hand. Stupid ABC crew at halftime actively rooting for the Warriors and calling the ejection a horrible decision by the refs.

GS giving MEM every opportunity to win it.

TWO missed FTs from Thompson. SMH.

Same. Weak sauce. I hope the Mavs challenge is better than that or it is going to be a very quick series.

I got around to watching Game 1 of Boston/Milwaukee since it started at 2 a.m. here and it looked a bit different than I expected with Middleton out. I thought the Bucks had a more favorable whistle as Foster and Malloy let Lopez get away with a lot under the basket but called a lot of shot contest fouls on the Celtics.

Giannis paraded to the foul line since he's basically ungradable when given space to time his steps from the perimeter. Horford did a decent job on him and I honestly expected Tatum to take on more of that duty. I know they're different types of players, but Tatum looked really good defending KD in the last series.

Game 1 can be weird, but Celtics fans should be worried about Lopez. If the Bucks are able to keep either he or Giannis on the court at all times, they're going to need at least 3 hot shooting nights to win their series.

Memphis blew a very winnable game against GS. But I don't think the series is over. Memphis still looked like they could score with ease against the Warriors defense, even in crunch time when it really mattered. GS stole a win last night but I don't think every game will be as easy for them.

Yeah different types like you said, and I think there is probably 75 pounds of additional muscle there, too. I can't see Tatum deterring him much. It is almost like Mikal trying to stop Giannis.

Harden has always been a team player. We all know that.

Jaylen Brown is doing a first quarter Booker impression with 17 points.

Unrelated, I like SVG so much more than Reggie Miller as an analyst. I feel like I might actually learn something from SVG while Miller is just blowing hot air and making noises.

What do you think his running monologue is like when he's in the bathroom?

Scott Foster is on the Warriors/Grizzlies game tonight. I'm sure that'll go so smoothly...

Just see the score 51-31 C's and it's almost HT.....
Wow

Then quick scroll through Twitter and Nekias is not of the hot takes community so it has to be rough going for the Bucks
