    Turner, LaVert and TJ Warren are all starters and they're also without Lamb and I'm probably missing someone.

    I've got the Warriors winning but the Grizz are incredibly talented, so I can see them being in the game. At the same time they're really young and could give up if they start to get down by too many points.

    I agree you never know.
    Also they seem to work really hard and they can make a game ugly.

    Yes, I do. I think the Grizz pull the upset.

    Could be anyone’s game.
    Lakers made the warriors look more talented than they are last night.

    Thing is, neither the Dubs nor the Grizz will be able to beat Utah in a 7 game series.

    Had the Lakers lost last night, I’d have been pretty upset as a Jazz fan.

    Didn’t Pop take over before they got Duncan?

    The 2016-17 Spurs were awesome. Kawhi should’ve been the MVP that season. If Kawhi hadn’t gotten hurt, I think Spurs win the title. Kawhi injuries aren’t Pop’s fault.

    Grizzlies and Warriors just played each other on Sunday. It was a very good game. I could absolutely see the Grizzlies winning or at least making it a close game. They basically had the same record. Why would it even be considered an upset? Grizzlies had play-in experience last year. They’re ready now.

    Like him or not (I realize many do not like him) Westbrook is going to play tough. He is going to give it 100% every play he is out there. You gotta respect that.

    Here is a Stephen A. Smith take.

    I think he just said Nurk is a bad defender?

    I would be that he was thinking of Kanter, and not Nurk. Not that Nurk is all NBA defense, but he's anything but a bad defender, especially that he seems to be in game shape and motivated.

    Still hasn't kept his promise of dropping 50 points on Portland.

    I agree. He does go a little ALL WESTBROOK at times.

    His job isn't to know stuff. It's to stir things up and piss people off, which he excels at.
