The comparison between JP and Brooks and how the fans feel about their decision-making..never thought about it like that, I laughed.
I went back and watched the 4th quarter run again and you could tell how much everyone wanted that win. On the play where Draymond almost had his 6th turnover, I noticed Rollins had a reaction on the bench before Steph salvaged the play. When the Grizzlies were up 113-111, and Klay missed the three, the sound from the crowd was pure sadness (He made up for it later). So to be up two with a little over a minute left, after their recent 4th quarter play, not surprised Steph was disappointed in the decision-making, can't get ejected though. They needed that win badly and I'm glad they were able to pull it out.
I will savor this E1P later today; for now (dons flame retardant jumpsuit):
Winning was a delight, but I was really impressed by the Grizzlies. Yes, their style of play is physical and more than a little dull, but they execute it efficiently and have a lot of highly skilled players doing the things they are supposed to be doing. The story of the Grizzlies as "Ja and some guys" is way off the mark. Yes Ja is an unbelievable talent, but this is a well balanced team with more than a few players I wish were on the Dubs. I mean - Dillon Brooks is the child of Satan and a Spice Girl (i.e. kind of dangerous but also stupidly annoying). But their outside shooting is well timed, they play a mean inside game, and work like crazy on defense. These guys are young and if they stay together and on track they'll be a playoff team for quite a long time.
In conclusion: beating them over and over is more than a small pleasure. I will never be a fan but I will respect their skills.
One must give yet another shoutout to Anthony Lamb. Not only is he doing the visible work like scoring, he's doing the less visible stuff. With just seconds on the clock in a big game he is on the floor, trusted by Kerr, and shows why. He sets the right pick for the last play. It was called on the fly but he knows where to be in this system. And a moment later, there was the little-noticed Memphis inbounds with one second on the clock after the Poole layup. One second, 94 feet to go, it would be excusable to defend it lazily. Lamb raced up to defend (I think it was Bane), got two arms up but didn't foul, shot was late and wide, game over. When they talk about "attention to detail," that should be Exhibit A.
Steph removed his mouthpiece so he can cleanly bite off JP's testicles. The Invisalign makes for poor cuts.

Why does he miss her point entirely - That Steph was so pissed at his logo launch with 24 secs on the possession clock. WTF?
Bravo Roz for asking the question that Poole's brain forbids him to answer. All you need to know.
Moses Moody will play at least two games with Santa Cruz, per Steve Kerr. He's expected to return to the Warriors ahead of Monday's game against OKC.

Oh my goodness, rewatching the end just now, I’m as tightly-wound as I was yesterday at the game. Perhaps one reminder I didn’t need.
Anyone got video of Kuminga's left-handed dunk in the first half? I'd love to see that one again
"Hairball pass" LOL. Did Draymond foul Bradon Clark on that dunk at the 0.06 mark that made it 120-120?
I'm not a dentist, but I'm pretty sure Steph isn't really protecting his teeth all that well with these strategies.

Klay got tripped on that travel call... really don't know what he's supposed to do, probably should have/could have been a foul called.
Shaqtin' a Poole.
His immaturity will deem him unplayable in crunch post season should we make it.
You call it "botox face gone wrong"; I call it "The Calvin": http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aIg21fj3V8c/TvKns-XEeAI/AAAAAAAAAWE/ODgaGSnybTQ/s1600/Calvin+and+Hobbes+Strip+2.jpg
Kuminga appeared to have the botox face down too as he entered the celebration screen there!
