    That was one of the most dominant defensive beatdowns I think I’ve ever seen, they were LOCKED IN. I expected to win this one, but not by 40 points lol. Grizzlies not talking and dancing now are they, Brooks isn’t mean muggin, hmm. Lastly, you got what you wanted dumba**

    An Ole Fashion Beat Down. So sweet when it’s on a bunch of dudes who run their mouths off and can’t back it up!

    Enjoy Charlotte next season, chatty a** clown

    You got what you asked for. This was your moment and you were crippled and cowered in the corner like a church mouse. Never want to hear another word out of your mouth.

    As a big fan of watching defense, that was an amazing game. Locked them up and locked them down early and never let up.

    Memphis if they just shut their mouths would be a fun team to root for - Bane/Morant is one of hell of a young backcourt with JJJ as their big. Oh well they are who they are.

    I’m glad to be done with JJJ. Hadn’t watched much of Memphis prior to this series so I didn’t get the hype around him, but he is legitimately a beast on defense (although, clearly not as dominant as AD). In the Memphis wins, I feel like he really rattled our offense by stopping our attacks.

    It’s a relief to know that we won’t have to face that level of interior defense for the rest of the Western playoffs

    Glorious beatdown. Loved getting to savor a whole fourth quarter of garbage time, lol!! This one was beautiful.

    Frontrunning clown. Worst kind of cartoon villain, at least lean into it when you lose.

    What about Ayton? Draymond isn’t necessarily a shotblocker, but we all know what he brings defensively when engaged despite his height.

    Kings and the dvds.

    Warriors have history on their side, chemistry and short hand for days. Kings don't know what they don't know. They're young and dumb. Both are going to put up points on us, but I think we can score easier on the Kings. Harrison Barnes is all they have defensively for anyone over 6-8.

    really torn between the kings and warriors

    kings youth+speed scares the s*** out of me. and fox is always extra motivated against us so imagine how much more it'll be in the playoffs. they're no slouches at shooting the 3 either

    warriors meanwhile are just awful on the road, but the problem is that this lakers team sucks at defending the 3
