NBA Fans Troll Ja Morant And The Grizzlies After Klay Thompson Lifts Warriors To Game 6 Victory: "Warriors Own The Grizzlies."

It's 2022, and Klay Thompson is still delivering huge games for the Golden State Warriors. In Friday's crucial Game 6 against Memphis, the 5x All-Star poured in 30 points and 8 rebounds in the 110-96 closeout victory.

On Twitter, fans lauded Klay's performance and acknowledged Golden State's return to the Conference Finals. They also took the opportunity to troll Morant and his arrogant Grizzlies team.

The Warriors are heading to the Conference Finals.

They are INEVITABLE.

“Hey Ja, how many games did the warriors win?”

Warriors in 6

The Grizzlies were a formidable opponent for the Dubs. Not only are the Grizzlies younger, faster, and more athletic, but they are also well-coached and know how to control both ends of the floor.

Sadly, we didn't really get the chance to see this Memphis team at full strength throughout the series. Ja Morant went down for these final games, and his presence could have changed everything for the Grizzlies.

Nevertheless, it's the experience and talent that pushed Golden State over the edge. With Curry, Thompson, Draymond, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Jordan Poole, the Dubs have a deep core of players that can score the ball with ease.

They've really turned it on since the postseason began and now stand just four wins away from another NBA title.

"I'm gonna have the Warriors because I feel like they've hit a point where they, they're in championship mode and it ain't about who's doing it, how they doing it," said Kevin Garnett, "it's about playing together, continuity, talking to me like you've seen the cylinders are firing they, they're playing on another, another level right now."

The Warriors now await the winner of the Suns/Mavs series, with no guarantees about the future. But with Curry and Thompson leading the way, the Warriors look pretty good heading into the third round.

It will be interesting to see if any team stands a chance against them and just how much farther they can go in this run.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
