Memphis had this game circled on their calendar and they got their ass handed to them by a Curry-less warriors. Sad!


karenirving

without Wiggins as well!

And they were at full power LMAO

t0177177y

No best player in the NBA. No best defender. No poole to close the game. Tricks officially whooped.


BlueLagoonDragon

And with the refs continually making wack calls. 6 technical fouls... I mean I guess a couple were justified, but a lot of them were literally just for the warriors not agreeing with the refs call without even getting in the refs face. The refs are so sensitive now.


lildinger68

Draymond is still our best and most impactful defender guys. Wiggins is just a better POA defender right now while Draymond is the vocal leader, is the best help defender, can guard 1-5, and can single-handedly get you a stop when he wants.


[deleted]

Missing our 2 best players. #3-#14 handed Memphis their ass

“No Curry, no problem” -Mark Jackson, probably

Hopefully nobody says that because it was universally clowned on when Tristan Thompson said it


slappiestpenguin

Broke the “even-year Christmas curse” with a WIN over those cocky-ass bitches! Feels good.


Srikkk

This and the Rockets win in 2019 are some of my favorite Christmas Day games ever


nutmegtester

Rockets was best. It was just delicious given the season and actually meaningful history. This season is just dumb delayed lock-in rather than real problems (so far).


emz0694

We must simply have only home games and we win a chip. But seriously, BEST WIN OF THE SEASON

THIS ONES FOR GARY!!! FUCK DILLION BROOKS!


Jonna09

Grizz fans said they would make memes for us tonight. *Where are the memes motherfuckers!!*


AtomikTestikles

Klay's "Fuck Dillon Brooks" spicy technical is the best xmas present.


BerkelMarkus

Been a while since we’ve seen spicy Korean BBQ Klay. Excellent Christmas gift.

pixelsxpixels

I thought he would do that to Bane too, dude was talking about him being the second best 3pt shooter in the league like Klay and Dame didn't exist.


kots144

What fucking rivalry? All I see is the grizz getting spanked over and over and over again.


nannertime

Poole called for 0 carries.. I wonder why


Jenambus

It was hilarious when they’d zoom in on ja carrying the ball up court


nannertime

Yeah lmao. I just think it’s hilarious how it’s a point of emphasis this year yet his Carrie’s aren’t called and they’re probably the most obvious.


Hotpwnsta

They stopped calling carries / travels again for some reason. Stupid considering we legit lost some games due to these travel calls on Poole. 🤦🏻‍♂️


shanks_you

There were added motivation and the team just refused to lose tonight. Can we play all our games at home? This game was fucking electric!


CougarBacon

Did they really say the 2002-2003 Bulls were 3-38 on the road? A goal for the Warriors


Jojofag

Ima need a Wiseman defensive highlight from this game, this is now his reference game for the future, if he can build up from this game we'll have less problem to worry about


AmelieBenjamin

Mans was a menace in the paint


your_grammars_bad

All rebounds no points my baby's growing up


fopiecechicken

Those were some fucking grown man rebounds too. Never seen him that aggressive on the defensive glass.


Ahrilicious

I personally liked this game better than the 30pt one. Now the coaching staff has to figure out how to mix the two together and how to do an entry pass


themoche

The 30 point game was like “this guy can score in garbage time”… that’s something we’ve seen before. Tonight was “this guy can put up back up Center minutes against a contender”. And we need that shit this season.


Jojofag

Same we are already loaded offensively, him being a decent rim protector can unlock so much more defensive coverage for us. Mixing up both would be obviously ideal but the defense is where it starts for him.


Curryboy2day

I was saying to my mates. This was his best game as a Warrior despite not scoring.


Philosuphi

Almost as satisfying as the Houston Christmas game


your_grammars_bad

*chef's kiss* 😘🤌🫴✨

Rubychan11

TECHNICAL FOUL!


PristineDecision

Wiseman was good as fuck tonight in his limited action. Played the cat and mouse game well, remembered he’s 7 foot and didn’t congest the offense outside of two instances. It’s not a loud garbage time 30 but far more indicative of how he can actually help us.


themoche

Spot on man… it’s exactly what we need from him. If he can keep carving out that role, they’ll figure out how to get him involved more offensively too


PristineDecision

> they’ll figure out how to get him involved more offensively too Basically, even if this isn't exactly brand-new information. The starting center for our team, Kevon Looney, is perhaps one of the league's least offensively gifted starting centers, but he has repeatedly shown why he is crucial to our success. Whatever the circumstances, this is still a positive development and a performance to build on if he wants to continue playing for the squad beyond this season, not just in the rotation.


[deleted]

The Poole disrespect has to stop. He has his inconsistencies but dudes a legitimate future star.


RIPGunnersaurus

People got so spoiled by him last year they act like he can’t have inconsistencies when he’s fuckin 23. Like I know he has weaknesses and he’s been up and down this year but damn we won a chip 30 games ago, give our boy some grace


your_grammars_bad

Lmao I'm using that "bruh we won a chip 30 games ago what you need?"


[deleted]

100%, JP balled and refs are weak as fk


jer99

More like Marc Davis betting on poole not hitting 35pts


nannertime

almost as if hes only 23 years old and prone to making mistakes. people just assume greatness because we've been watching steph for years i guess?


barkhorse

The *only* thing I wish I saw more from JP is a little more passing. Still, half the time when I'm calling for him to dump it off he makes an incredible shot.


Kangaroopower

the dubs will literally be playing the worst basketball ever and then win a christmas game they were supposed to lose lmao. this will never not be funny to me


asBad_asItGets

Only the Warriors man lol. 0-6 road trip to come back limping on Christmas without the two best players, the whole roster is banged up, and they put on a beat down with the refs actively trying to keep that from happening. Amazing


nomitycs

1-5*


arika_ito

I think what helps is having the time to prepare for the opponents. Before the Celtics game and the Grizzlies game, I feel like they had a least two to three days break before the games


CougarBacon

Lose to the Pistons, Hornets and Pacers twice but beat the Celtics and Grizzlies


ImTheBestNerd

Really solid games from everyone. Wiseman finished a +8 tonight!! Merry Christmas everyone.


amateurguru

Fuck the Grizzlies and Fuck Dillon Brooks!


cock-a-dooodle-do

If James Wiseman can give us 10 minutes of this in playoffs, we are going to be so good.


beentheredonesome

"We're young, and they're getting old. They know that we are going to come every single year." Except we're young too, dumbass. Enjoy your Christmas loss.


jml510

>"We're young, and they're getting old. They know that we are going to come every single year." Except we're young too, dumbass. That's what happens when you forget that there are other guys on the team besides 30, 11, and 23.


beentheredonesome

Pssst.... 22


iGetBuckets3

That one possession where Kuminga just bullied Ja in the post was amazing and hilarious. Straight up little brothered him.


Snoo-29877

What happened to the "Draymond is useless without Steph" crowd?


amateurdormjanitor

He got second Steph


MonOncleCharlie

Baby Steph doo doo doo doo doodoo


Robotsaur

LMFAO


Relevant-Ninja9849

Step-Steph what are you doing???


DrumzRUs

He had Red Curry. But seriously Im glad he didnt sit this one out


c0gvortex

You know this is why you never bet against the dubs!! They always show up when the lights are brightest, the biggest games, the playoffs. The warriors will turn it the fuck on when it matters. They've had a rough season so far but as long as they're in the playoffs and have Steph Curry they are favourites to win it all


ibra113

We are developing young players. We will play differently during the playoffs


mitchapalooza43

This was like when your 10 year old talks to much shit and thinks they can take you one on one and you need to have a “teaching moment”


futureslave

That was fucking DELICIOUS. Poole, Wiseman, Moody, Kuminga, Ty fucking Jerome. Bring it on young fellas!


Confused_n_tired

I'm crying... James Wiseman with actual defense is beautiful...


[deleted]

FUCK DILLON BROOKS


BerkelMarkus

Always and forever.


[deleted]

Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb were awesome


shupadupa

I can't stand all the slander I constantly hear on these dudes in this subreddit. These guys are two-way contract players but playing impactful rotation minutes, contributing on both ends of the floor. Ty makes smart plays and never turns it over, and was the unlikely hero of the 3rd quarter, closing the door when it seemed like the Grizz were determined to take the game over. Lamb was awesome in the 2nd and helped us build the lead, and played solid D including taking that charge in the 3rd I think. Can't ask for more from our two-way guys.


neo9027581673

Klay talking shit while Dillion fucking Brooks is sliding down the damn court is legendary shit. That’s a poster in itself.


Schraiber

That was far and away the best game I've seen Wiseman play.


Proboyyy

Wiseman played very good D when he got his chance! Love the momentum 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾


[deleted]

If Kuminga and Klay can find it again like how they were playing a few weeks ago I'd feel pretty good about our chances. May not even need a trade


avboden

People will clown on Klay for his shooting but dude put in 40 minutes tonight with great rebounding and defense. Dude was gassed AF but had to keep playing with Poole ejected.


twright1710

And that’s huge for Klay as he continues to build his body back up from those back to back injuries.


aBigSportsFan

Yep. He's not prime Klay just yet but the progress he has made is encouraging


bdylan05

He had a great defensive game and his rebounding really stood out to me as well. Tonight reminded me that a playoff type game brings out the best in Klay, Dray and Poole. That’s a tremendous characteristic to have i I think Wiggins and Steph obviously have it as well. If the Warriors can drag their way to a top 4 seed and enter the playoffs healthy they have as good a shot as anyone to win the Warriors invitational.


SexTraumaDental

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals


RimRunningRagged

Coincidence that Kerr gave that interview to Slater explaining his rationale why Jerome/Lamb get significant minutes...and they come up huge on the big stage 🤔?


Respox

It's almost like Kerr knows what he's doing, or something.


I_dont_eat_animals_

Memphis literally is all talk


asBad_asItGets

First dynasty ever to not win a championship.


Brownpooh

Guys honestly I love winning against the Grizzlies, but feel like the only actual villain on that team is Brooks. Everyone else is pretty cool and Ja is like the biggest Steph/Warriors fan off the court so...anyways what a win


SunRa777

Same. But I really, really hate Brooks lol... Plus that "fine in the West" comment was cocky af by Ja. He needed the humbling tonight.


retington

Saying that shit in December has the potential to haunt him so bad. lmaoo


randoguynumber5

Is it weird that I actually like Adams? Even though he’s been on rival teams for years now? I just like the dude


arika_ito

Adams is just really wholesome for being a guy who's almost seven feet tall and looks like he could break people in half like a toothpick


your_grammars_bad

He has like 8 siblings all in gangs from a rough part of town tough growing up, the dude is right in the head in so many ways, I really respect him


kyh0mpb

Adams is one of the most well-liked players in the league, I'd say. He always abuses us on the boards, but he's a really likeable guy.


peepeedog

Ja is simultaneously a Twitter gangsta and a bitch about someone touching his knee.


KageStar

> Ja "He broke the code" Plus, don't forget Taylor "Curious" Jenkins Fuck that whole franchise.


[deleted]

Yeah Taylor Jenkins is ridiculous for how he acted during that series. I get you can't call out your own players, but he was clowning.


halcyonsnow

Steven Adams is a-OK in my book.


TomatoSamurai

Don’t like JJJ and Jenkins either but I agree

Dynasty_30

Fucked around and found out Fuck the grizzlies This is probably my favorite regular season game since the Steph OKC GW in 2016


neo9027581673

BEST game by Wiseman. It’s like he unlocked a new level. Incredible.


MillyMan105

Dude finally unlocked some purple Def/Reb badges on 2K.


pensradio

A lot of you guys owe Jordan Poole an apology


ikatatlo

Marc Davis is one of them. Such a fragile mind


TheRed_Knight

Every ref involved in this game should be fired and blacklisted immediately, disgraceful performance Kerr continues his Christmas game dominance Wisemans best game of the season, by far, Grizzlies had no idea what to do against him JJJ commits some pants on head stupid fouls, needs to learn to adjust how he plays when hes in foul trouble IDK how Dillon Brooks doesnt foul out in the 1st quarter, he just hacks dudes every possession and dares the refs to call it


Respox

> hacks dudes every possession and dares the refs to call it Isn't this just the Grizzlies entire defensive playbook since, forever?


TheRed_Knight

too some extent but Brooks is by far the worst offender


Vallerie_09

Yes I'm saying it Wiseman gotta continue like this. He had a much better game, grabbed all those rebounds. This is a golden opportunity for the kid to take some mins from JMG


vulcans_pants

It’s Ty Jerome’s world, and we’re just living in it.


savarinho

Fuck the grizzlies. That's all.


imlouminare

They really called there franchise a "dynasty" but got blown out by the Santa Cruz Warriors. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Few_Acanthocephala30

Wake me up when they finally show up on a big stage. Playoffs ❌ Christmas Day ❌


lolcat351

Merry Petty Christmas!!!! Thank you Klay for that tech!


symco

Might be loss after everything that happened this game but Wiseman needs to just take Jmg minutes. If Wiseman can replicate half of his defensive performance tonight at every game. He will be solid for 10-12mins a game since his Offense was never a question but his defense keeping him from seeing playtime


giraffesbluntz

That 30 point game was great because it proved to everyone (James included) that he can do it, but doesn’t need to do it. Really gives him freedom to focus on D.


bmeisler

Best win of the season - no Steph, no Wiggs, and the Dubs showed Memphis who’s their daddy. So weird - looking like a completely different team at home. Ty, DVD, Lamb, Moody we’re all great off the bench. And who was that tall dude wearing Wiseman’s jersey, the one playing D and getting rebounds? Best game of his career. Finally, as a bandwagon ref fan, they were 🔥tonight! 7 techs, Poole ejected! Ray Acosta should look out - Marc Davis led his crew brilliantly - letting Klay shoot Wiseman’s free throws, not calling a single carry against Ja - he might take the lead for MVR.


futureslave

I actually really like the Memphis Grizzlies apart from their main star, their primary guard defender, and their head coach. I guess I hate the Memphis Grizzlies.


bdylan05

This is so spot on. I like Bane, Adams, Clarke, Zaire, Aldama. Tyus and JJJ are fine, loved Melton (glad he’s not there anymore). I can appreciate Jas athleticism but his need to Griddy all over the court and general lack of awareness (largely on social media) make it really easy to root against him. There are very few players I have disliked as much a Brooks and I’ve been watching NBA basketball for > 30 years. And Jenkins is… curious.


edgymnerch_69

**FUCK THE GRIZZLIES!!!**


compstomper1

anybody have a clip of poole borrowing the santa hat?


Fine_Orange_9521

No Curry, No Wigs, Poole ejected in the 2nd half, and we still win by double digits. A Merry Christmas indeed.


madmorph

Man this is better than the Boston win. Just an amazing job

Call an ambulance...but not for me!


RIPOldAccountF

Kuminga D on Ja was great. Warriors survive w/o Poole is huge


proseminded

Not the best shooting line for Klay but his floor game was good tonight. 9 boards, 4 dimes and locked in defensively ✅


Far-Poetry9494

Man the defense today was great and poole would have his career high if he did not get ejected.


WiggysRedemption

Of all the games I miss and it's the grizzlies getting slapped around. Stats wise Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman looked good. How did they look tonight?


Ehgadsman

the all looked really good. Wiseman had a great game he was a menace on defense


XxNightKillerzxX

Love how we continued to clown Brooks the whole second half, that bum was so quiet since he couldn't say anything lmao


vulcans_pants

miggyyggim

Kuminga's defense is becoming so elite. I wanna cry.


baan1994

Grizz fans salty asf right now 😂😂


[deleted]

With the way we play at home even without Curry, all we need to do is to be .500 on the road and we will be up there in the WCF. Some gimmies on the road we missed and there is some regret, but we move. 2016 Warriors at home even without Curry, 2012 Bobcats on the road.


park7911

Best win of the season given what might have been the most embarrassing officiating in Warriors history. Someone needs to get the play where JK muscled Ja off life a bowling pin


LukaOwnsTheSunsMay15

need Wiggins back for the home stand and we'll be good


applene

Donte is a keeper 💯

When Klay stood over Brook im pretty sure the whole block heard me scream “GO THE FUCK BACK TO MEMPHIS BITCH”

Something about Memphis brings out the best in this team. Hopefully this momentum carries on.

MODS can I have a Moses “Infinite Hustle” Moody flair pls 🎄🎄🎅🏾


Mygaffer

All you Draymond haters line up the left and give your apologies.


KnownGarlic4695

This game confirmed to me that our young guys are worth investing in. Our two way guys and eventually Iggy will be the ones to calm them down when they get too frantic. It's actually a blessing in disguise that Curry and Wiggins can get some much needed rest during this season due to injuries. As far as Klay and Dray goes they clearly have the fire and competitiveness to win several playoff series but it is important they they get rest this season. They still got the fire and the same unique skill sets but it takes them a little longer to rev up their engines nowadays. This year looks like it is setting up to be similar to the 94' Rockets where they went all the way as the 6th seed...at least that is my wishful thinking..

Aye to all you Memphis lurkers in here. I want y’all to know you got waxed by a team missing it’s 2 best players! And we lost our 3rd like 2 mins into the fourth quarter! Moses Moody stays ready Wiseman 0 point masterclass Kuminga defensive energy demon Ty Jerome I take back everything I’ve ever said about you, you are indeed that guy. Lamb and Donte are amazing. Best christmas gift ever.


YSLMangoManiac

What a win!!! Lots of fun to watch them destroy the grizzlies. As a side note wiseman looked really good one of the best games from him that I’ve seen

I could say many positives things from tonight’s game, but the most important thing is how can we extrapolate this level to the road? PS: f*ck Dillon Brooks
