Well Griz fans.

The game is going about how the experts predicted. Seeing Curry light us up makes me even angrier over our 2009 draft.

Just hard not to see GS winning it all with KLove hurt.

They are good on both ends of the floor. People like to talk about the Splash Brothers and scoring but their defense is near the top of the league.

Defense is the best

in the league. Chris Vernon read a stat (believe it was point differential of season) that had them up there with some of the best teams in NBA history. All of those teams also went on to win the whole thing. If we are going to beat them, we can't go cold or turn the ball over like today. Game 2 is probably must win.

^^ this. Defense is very good, and their depth is ridiculous.

 

[dickiedawg]

I don't think anyone is beating them at home.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I think they lost twice at home this year."

That is nuts.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah, and Kerr has done a hell of a job. I heard on ESPNRadio one day that their starting lineup was #1 in offense and #2 in def efficiency. That exact lineup was on the roster last year and didn't play 1 single minute together all.

The Grizz needed to bring their A+ game in order to have a prayer yesterday, but what we got was more like a C+ effort. What was good enough to knock off Portland won't even be close to being good enough against these guys, so I really hope Memphis figures something out soon.

It's crazy how you can be trading baskets with them for 5-6 minutes, and then the second you go on a five possession dry spell, you look up and you're suddenly down 14. Golden State can be beaten, but with an effort like the Grizz gave yesterday, they'll blow them out of the gym.

Mike won't be 100% for several weeks. I'm just hoping to make it respectable now

The earliest Mike will play meaningful minutes is Game 3 but he won't be anywhere close to 100%. He's lost weight, has vision issues and still having headaches.

GS is looking like the best team in the association. Even at 100% it was going to be an uphill battle.
