Ok, so OKC went crazy and Wizards could not really defend. Bad read from me... But overall a good day.
Today we have a lot of games and some very interesting like the game in Memphis. Will Golden State take their record since season 60-61? If they win tonight they will tie that record.
So to start, since the most focus will be on this game and its the most interesting, lets play it.
Memphis is playing Golden State at home after five games on the road. We all know how that went, 1 win and 4 defeats. Not only that, they also took a record. Not a good one tho. The first game away against Golden State was their largest defeat ever and the fewest points points ever scored against Golden State. I would say that their first game was the reason of the bad start.
How could one of the best defenses in the league get crushed like that? It was just embarrassing. Imagine how the players felt if people that didnt even cared about the game felt embarressed.
Well now Memphis is back at home, they will play at home 10 of their 14 next games. So we can count on Memphis getting their sh*t together. But they start at home against Golden State, what if they embarress them again? I think we have something in this game that is called revenge. Revenge is a factor many people ignore. It brings more energy and will to the players, a focus on payback. I believe that after their first game when they lost to Golden State, all of the players were just focusing on the revenge back in Memphis and thats why they played so bad on the road, their focus were somewhere else. Thats the main reason I see it as, but ofc I could be wrong since Im not a player in that team.
Even if Golden State also have something to play for (all games are important), a record and go to history books. Because if they win tonight they will tie their record of a 9-0 start and if they win they will face Minnesota away and then Nets and Raptors at home. They will probably go 13-0 if they win tonight before playing Clippers away where I think it will end if they win tonight. They are absolutely wild this Golden State team, they go mental on every team out there.
But... To take that record they will face the biggest threat. A big Grizzly bear that want nothing more than blood, feeling the pain they will cause. Just like if Golden State had touched the baby Grizzly when mommy was away trying to find some food for baby Grizzly. Now mama Grizzly will have the chance to say hello, at home.
I know Memphis have been poor, a very bad start and Golden State have been the opposite. Everything is pointing to Golden State, the public is just all over it and they are big favorites here. But Im the guy always cheering for the dogs to win and here we have a dog but its a bear, a Grizzly. I will take my chances to see a Grizzly team playing for their Honor, dignity and revenge. Im valuing that before all stats and trends. Memphis is a good team and have a good shot to take it at home. If Memphis cant stop Golden State at home with all the circumstances, then I dont know who will.
