Lakers got slapped again by Memphis tonight. Excited to see Klay's return!

That guy is just getting more and more fun to watch. Amazing athlete. Go Griz!

The Warriors really need to figure something out against the Grizzlies. Ja Morant is killing it.

Griz are really clicking right now. They defended really well, even more impressive without Brooks and Adams, and got great production from the bench. They went adrift when W’s locked down defense in the 3rd but got back in without needing scoring from Ja until he put the dagger in at the end. Really young and fun team to watch.

The Grizzlies have taken it to the Warriors a couple times over the last 2 years. They're the ones who kicked em out last year in the Play-Ins. And they beat them 2 of the 3 times they've played them this season.

Lakers getting whacked again by a mediocre team. What else is new? There's a real chance they finish 8th, play GSW in the first round (and get whacked!).

I get it, you have a game tomorrow night. BUT, to be down 39 points at the half and you only have 38 points, that's bad. Why even play the starters if you aren't going go all out? I stopped watching the game it was so bad.

Despite currently being in southern California, I was born and raised up north and would love nothing more than to see them get stomped out round 1 by the Warriors.

The Lakers were pissed at the Kings the other night (Kings won). Westbrook tried to burn them back in after game interviews. I personally love that LAL is struggling. So much for their superteam.

My takeaway from that game was just that Milwaukee is really really good. They won a chip last year and are totally in the 3/4 speed unless the opponent fashions themselves a contender mode. When they play the other good teams - Nets, Ws, Suns, Jazz - they actually bother to roll up their sleeves and hand out a beating. If I were placing money right now (and there's no way I'd place money on a COVID season), it would be on them.

I don't discount the Bucks are good. But it seemed like the Warriors weren't gelling fully plus they couldn't throw a stone in the ocean no matter what they did. But you look at the game against the Bulls (#1 in the east) and everything worked for them. Person missing from the game before... Klay Thompson. I think while he's back, he's not in the rhythm yet of the "team" they have. 941 days is a long time to be gone. And he's getting put in a rotation that's got a rhythm already. That's gonna throw things off for sure.
