Western Playin: 🧙 Golden State Warriors: The Fellowship of the Ring (and Elbow Wraps)

Date: TBD (but definitely soon)
Channel: TNT — where playoff dreams and Twitter memes collide.

Steph Curry still looks like a Sunday school teacher who can casually hit a three from another ZIP code. Klay is back to whispering “Game 6” like it’s a magic spell, and Draymond Green? He’s definitely yelling at someone right now (possibly the mascot).

The Dubs are older, wiser, and possibly powered by Bengay and nostalgia. But don’t sleep — when they’re locked in, it’s like watching Shakespeare with sneakers: chaotic, emotional, and always dramatic.

Strategy:

  1. Give ball to Steph.
  2. Hope he does something Steph-y.
  3. Yell at Jordan Poole through the TV even though he’s not on the team anymore.

🐻 Memphis Grizzlies: Who’s Left?!

Okay, let’s just say it: This team has been through more injuries than a Marvel stunt crew. Ja Morant is out, Steven Adams is still missing somewhere in the wilderness, and Desmond Bane has been duct-taped back together by the training staff.

Still, they’ve got grit. They’ve got vibes. And they’ve got Jaren Jackson Jr. blocking shots like he’s swatting flies on a summer patio.

Coach’s clipboard just says:

“Step 1: Hope.
Step 2: Defense.
Step 3: Please, no more injuries.”


⚔️ The Showdown

This is basically The Expendables vs. The Walking Wounded.

  • Golden State’s got rings, playoff scars, and that “We’ve got nothing to prove but will still destroy you” energy.
  • Memphis has that underdog fire and the kind of “Let’s just mess things up” attitude that makes play-ins beautiful.

🧠 Final (Possibly Terrible) Prediction:

Steph drops 35. Draymond gets a tech. Dillon Brooks trash-talks on Zoom just for fun.
Golden State wins, but Memphis makes it sweaty.

Score: Warriors 112, Grizzlies 104
Meme potential: Unlimited
