GG Jackson (19y, 29d) is the second-youngest player in NBA history to record back-to-back 20+ point games in NBA history. Only LeBron James, who did this 5x in the 2003-04 season, has had back-to-back 20+ point games at a younger age. https://t.co/kAPpuGSDQ9 https://t.co/9lMNYsNCDm
The Warriors, with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all in the lineup, just lost to a Grizzlies team missing Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, PLUS others while Jaren Jackson Jr. shot 4-of-20 from the field. It's time. https://t.co/ltNK4yqMMr

Memphis shot 40 free throws today to Golden State's 10. That's the largest differential in any NBA game this season.
Draymond Green extended soundbite on the Warriors struggling defense, which he says comes down to the individual “We can’t check” “We can’t guard” https://t.co/rrTL2I0vgY
No Ja Morant No Desmond Bane No Marcus Smart No Derrick Rose Still no win for the Warriors. https://t.co/pXcmi3C3sN
"That's the first thing we say in the scouting report. We've lost four games like this in the last two years." Kerr on the Warriors' tendency to show up ill-prepared against short-handed teams 😬 https://t.co/R2H9J6PNyq
Draymond Green: "We can't guard nobody. Until we guard, we'll lose."
Thoughts on this game: -This game was rigged from the jump - did you see Curry pick up a foul on a clean off-ball screen on the first possession of the game? That was my suspicion, and then the Grizzlies proceeded to get 40 FTs to the Warriors' 10 FTs. They shot THIRTY more FTs -…

I no longer believe a trade can fix the Warriors as long as Steve Kerr is the coach. They don't have a defensive assistant. Does anyone else realize this? Kerr lost Mike Brown, his DEFENSIVE assistant, and never replaced him. The arrogance is blowing up in his face.
Grizzlies get the 116-107 win vs. the Warriors in Draymond's return. Memphis had seven players score in double-figures 🔥 https://t.co/6pbLeb5iho

Bad road loss for the Warriors to a Memphis team without Morant, Bane, Smart, Adams. The Grizzlies backups hit 20 3s. Warriors turned it over 18 times, a bunch of silly ones. Draymond Green looked pretty good in his return, but season continues to spiral. Record: 18-22.
Warriors really lost to Grizzlies. It seems no matter what happens, Steve Kerr will not be let go. He keeps making the same rotational mistakes and won't change up. He just HAS to play CoJo. Just HAS to play Saric. Can't bother pairing Draymond w/ Trayce. Over it.
Morant - Out Bane - Out Smart - Out Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson Standing on Business against the Warriors https://t.co/QgV1SaOUFD

The refs completely influenced this game and gave the Grizzlies momentum they wouldn't have had: 36 FTs for Grizzlies, 10 FTs for Warriors. Read that again - 36 FTs to 10 FTs. That said, Warriors have also played a completely unacceptable Q4 - that's mostly on them.
Dario Saric should be banned from getting 4th quarter minutes until he's off this team.
The Grizzlies are flinging TONS of three-pointers up against the Warriors, and it's working. They're up 10, mid 4th quarter.

Are the Warriors really going to lose to the Grizzlies' skeleton crew??
The Grizzlies! GG Jackson is fun
Warriors suddenly down 10 in Memphis to the skeleton Grizzlies. It's been a 21-10 Memphis open to this 4Q. Warriors up to 16 turnovers. Grizzlies have made 20 3s, 11 from their bench.
This game is RIGGED. Grizzlies have taken 27 FTs, Warriors have taken 7!!
Not a good Klay game so far. Zero rebounds including a no-block-out on that last Memphis bucket.
Draymond Green in the first half vs. the Grizzlies: ▪️5 PTS ▪️2-2 FG ▪️4 REB Warriors lead 56-54. https://t.co/pMAjsVd06F

Screw this Dario Saric crap. Try Trayce next to Draymond already. Get Dario out of here.

Draymond Green a +7 in his first six-minute stint in over a month. Hit a 3 and long two. Played center the entire time, but handled the ball plenty on offense. Had a smart and well-executed tap rebound with 2.7 seconds on first quarter clock to set up a Podziemski attempt from 3.
3G lineup w/ JK at 4 and Draymond at 5. If Kerr is THIS stupid, then the season is over. IDGAF what happens in this game, it's hopeless because he's going back to EXACTLY what it was before Dray suspension. If Trayce is out of rotation, you'll see the most flagrant version of me
Draymond has his first bucket in his return to the court (via @NBCSWarriors) https://t.co/oAtle18SyH
Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga entering together. Draymond at the five, Kuminga at the four. A frontcourt pairing I'd expect to see plenty moving forward.
Marcus Smart- Hurt Ja Morant- Hurt Desmond Bane- Hurt Jaren Jackson- Hurt Derrick Rose- Hurt Steven Adams- Hurt Brandon Clarke- Hurt The Memphis Grizzlies next game: https://t.co/L2TVbcAzpO
Draymond Green is no longer on the Warriors’ injury report. The Grizzlies have nine players listed on the report the night before the game. It’s a bummer they’re so thin. Ban injuries. https://t.co/JIT0HIcSPc
Kerr and the coaching staff don't coach the Warriors on defense, so someone else (Draymond) has to do it. In fact, Kerr puts out terrible defensive lineups that the team must overcome to win games every night. Once again, he exposes himself as a fraud. https://t.co/JokqP6rlCY
Saric played almost TWICE as many minutes as Trayce last night (34 to 18). Saric got a chunk of the C minutes in Q4, as well as PF minutes to close. Get Saric off this team. He's too soft on defense, and the Kerr tax of having him at 5 all season long is simply too detrimental https://t.co/lHR913EeA8
Draymond Green's impeding return likely means sending Jonathan Kuminga back to the bench. But Kuminga's delivered the best scoring games of his career on back-to-back nights. The way forward is clear, writes @anthonyVslater. https://t.co/PjyxgbkQCS https://t.co/7RFNjpnhv5
Draymond Green has missed 1 month, 16 total games. In those games Kuminga has been GSW 3rd leading scorer (15.6ppg) despite only playing 26.4mpg. He has done it on 56/35/77 shooting split. 64.4ts% He’s also chipped in 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game https://t.co/yyZ5BPnm5z
