Games at the Grind House aren’t known to be aesthetically pleasing, but last night’s game was particularly hard to watch. There was the usual pushing and pulling requisite of any matchup with the Grizzlies; bobbled passes; technical fouls; and 44 combined turnovers. Despite the rough-and-tumble contest, the Warriors managed to blow the game open in the fourth and tie a franchise record for wins to start a season at 9-0.
1) Seeing Memphis on the Warriors schedule used to hearken traumatic memories of schoolyard bullies. The Grizz front line were like Nelson to the Warriors’ Bart Simpson.
