GS has a 0.3% chance of winning with 16 minutes left to play!

if Memphis had made their last second shot in 2 of the games this series would be over tonight.

 

[Russ Smith]

I am surprised he's going to put Looney in should just rest him this is over and they might need him more if Porter is not able to go next game

23 FG/20tos/20 Personal Fouls.

Grizzlies played well when Morant was out before.

 

[Russ Smith]

That was a really dangerous play by Lee I'd be tempted to call that a flagrant

 

[Absolute Zero]

Only up 52 now

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

They should automatically lose the series for this performance.

 

[Russ Smith]

The Warriors cut the lead to 11, with the ball and Draymond turned it over. Since then the score is 63-21 Memphis!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

This type of game makes me want to disown my fan-hood.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I actually hope they lose the series. This team is so arrogant and needs to be humbled.

 

[sdscard4]

I hate both teams.. I hate both even more watching this pile of crap

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Memphis mat have TEN players finish with double figures.

 

[Russ Smith]

The only bright spot I can find is this is the first time in awhile Damion Lee has looked like an NBA player. With Payton out and Porter unsure he's probably going to play a bit in the next game.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

For the first time in stats history, the Warriors actually have a negative win probability.

 

[Raindog]

Well, maybe Memphis really IS more of a powerhouse without Morant... that's all I got.

 

[Russ Smith]

Local guy on Twitter says Porter will be in a walking boot as a precaution but no official word what's wrong with the foot. They haven't said yet which foot but if it's the left foot that's the one he's had injuries to for years now he missed most of 3 years with the Bulls with various injuries with that foot.

Yeah. About that:

Stephen Curry says Golden State Warriors' Game 5 mentality is 'Whoop That Trick'

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors can close out their Western Conference semifinal series against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 5 at FedExForum.

Tyus Jones is a much better defender and getting Adams back helps the defense too. It's the 130 points with 5 minutes left that's surprising!

Great Draymond and Curry did it

 

[MrYeahBut]

It's like watching an overmatched women's college team get beat by Stanford 80-12

Assist to turnover ratio:

GSW: 1:1
Mem: 4:1

The basketball fan in me really wants Suns / Golden State.

Do you guys want Cameron Payne?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think that is easier said than done. It's not like you can leave him uncovered, he can make layups, and is a good passer.

Just sag all game and make sure everyone else stays home. Of course you can’t make draymond score every trip, but as one of their primary ballhandler the ball will be in his hands most of the time. Just don’t give him passing lanes.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If you paid attention to the Grizz this year when Morant was out you would know that they might even play better without him. Their offense flows much better and they are probably even better defensively. That's not to say they are better long term without Morant, but they can be really dangerous for stretches without him.

It’s one of the craziest factors from this season. Remove the inarguably best player of the second best team in the league and they consistently get better. It’s wild.
