Draymond Green is ejected due to a flagrant two call. He just ran to the locker room waving his arms in the air, pumping up the crowd as he left. – 4:59 PM

Draymond Green gets ejected for a grab and yank of Brandon Clarke’s jersey. Warriors bench is stunned. Steph Curry to the referees: “That’s f****** crazy.” They thought it’d be a flagrant 1 maximum. – 4:59 PM

Ja Morant looked pretty good to me against Minnesota from a physical perspective. That defense just collapsed 3 or 4 dudes in the paint and they are uniquely athletic. Warriors don’t have the same kind of athleticism on the back of the defense. – 4:23 PM

Grizzles lead the Warriors 32-24 at the end of the first quarter. Right now Memphis is the more physical team and they’re controlling the tempo. Golden State’s backcourt is in foul trouble. Both teams are shooting below 40% from the field, but the Grizz are 6-9 from the FT line. – 4:22 PM

If it stays between the three point lines, advantage Warriors.

Had to do some family traveling this weekend so I’ve not been able to do any studying. That being said, due to injuries…

Celtics over Bucks
Warriors over Grizzlies
Suns over Mavericks – 12:15 PM

Fascinating stuff from @jefffogle: When the Warriors played fast in the first round, they lost. The Grizzlies play fast. https://t.co/EIAJRfuD0Y pic.twitter.com/jOaj8ADI74 – 12:01 PM

The reason Memphis has a shot in this series is because the Warriors will guard Ja differently than the Wolves did.
It’s really frustrating to me how many people are paid to analyze basketball that can’t articulate that. You don’t have to have played the game to learn about it. – 11:33 AM

Bucks in 7.
Heat in 6.
Warriors in 6.
Mavericks in 7.
The Celtics and Suns could end up rolling thus making me look very dumb (wouldn’t be the first time!).
But I believe in Giannis and Luka. – 11:27 AM

70/30 Heat with Embiid’s injury, 55/45 Heat if Embiid only had the thumb issue, 60/40 Sixers or Embiid was 100%.
65/35 Celtics (would be 50/50ish if Middleton was healthy
58/42 Suns
51/49 Warriors (I’m expecting a great series here) – 10:32 AM

The ESPN experts pick Warriors/ Grizzlies. 20-0 Warriors. 20-0? I didn’t think there was anything you could get 20 people to agree on these days haha. Grizzlies can be a true “Nobody Believes in Us” team. pic.twitter.com/FBwZdSKd5W – 10:23 AM

Irrespective of any series pick, I’ll just say I think the Grizzlies will be VASTLY more comfortable in this series playing the role of the extreme underdog than they were as the big favorite vs Wolves – & I expect the Grizzlies performance to look much better. Will it be enough? – 10:11 AM
