I was watching a clip the other day of Draymond talking about how awesome he is at trash talk, and he was talking about the Pierce one, when he said Pierce was chasing a farewell tour, only Pierce never wanted a farewell tour? – 10:28 AM

Draymond Green not considering Grizzlies-Warriors a rivalry: “Rivalries are created by ‘you win, I win.’ Clearly, we won four times and I think their organization has zero championships. So I can’t consider that a rivalry. I mean, anybody can win in March.” pic.twitter.com/taquFyzFG39:00 AM

More Dillon Brooks, on the Grizzlies locker room:
“We’ve all got the same type of mindset. There’s no cancers or poisonous guys. The worst guy we’ve got? You’re talking to him right now.” – 12:08 AM

I’m sure this has already been shared, but Dillon Brooks, postgame, on Draymond Green. pic.twitter.com/pAK56VNDcs12:01 AM

Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Thinking about Draymond Green’s postgame comments about how anyone can win in March, “I can hardly get out of bed in March.” I feel like that’s a big part of the problem this season. No sense of urgency during the regular season, at some point time is going to run out. #DubNation11:54 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
And that’ll be all from sixth-year Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks. Good night to all. – 11:33 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Dillon Brooks said it was a “low blow” for Draymond Green to try to put his Grizzlies teammates against him when he made his podcast comments.
“I ain’t out there getting into physical altercations with my teammates.” – 11:29 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Dillon Brooks was asked if Draymond Green’s comments offended him:
“No, because I know I’m a better player than him.” – 11:26 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Dillon Brooks was asked if this was satisfying: “No, no yet.”
“We want to see them in the playoffs.” – 11:24 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Dillon Brooks told Taylor Jenkins to match his minutes with Stephen Curry in the second half. – 11:23 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Draymond Green says the Warriors – Grizzlies isn’t a rivalry b/c the two teams involved have to trade wins. Green points out the dubs have 4 championships, the Grizz have zero. I appreciate Dray’s confidence but now the dubs need to back up the talk with their play. #dubnation11:02 PM

Draymond might be right about the baiting. But you get technical fouls when the officials give you technical fouls, in my opinion. – 10:46 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Draymond on not taking Brooks’ bait: “I decide when I get a technical foul…that’s probably the difference between me and him. I do that to him? Double tech because he’d respond. But it’s not a double tech because I didn’t respond. One of us are baitable, one of us aren’t.” – 10:35 PM
Madeline Kenney @madkenney
Draymond doesn’t think the Warriors-Grizzlies are a rivalry. Anyone can win a game in March, he said. “Rivalries are created by you win, I win. Clearly we’ve won four times and their organization has zero championships.” – 10:34 PM
Madeline Kenney @madkenney
Draymond Green on that moment with Dillon Brooks toward the end of the first half: “He thought he would bait me like he gets baited. I get technical fouls when I want to get technical fouls, I don’t get baited into technical fouls.” – 10:32 PM

That was a pretty calm Draymond after the game, and it was still full of great quotes – 10:32 PM

You can tell Dillon Brooks hasn’t regularly read stuff on the internet since college because he keeps referring to bloggers and blogging in these interviews. Is anyone actually referred to as a blogger anymore? – 10:11 PM

The Grizzlies had all five starters in double figures and racked up 36 assists against the Golden State Warriors. Dillon Brooks put together a solid performance.
Three quick takeaways:

I mean obviously TNT interviewed him to stir the pot / for TV entertainment asking about Draymond the FIRST question in the postgame interview 🤣🤣🤣 – 10:07 PM

“I told Draymond keep the mic (open). Keep doing the podcast, keep blogging. It’s cute. It’s fun for him.” — Dillon Brooks – 10:05 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Lol why is Dillon Brooks acting like he led the Grizzlies to victory in the postgame interview? 14pts on 1/7 from deep isn’t anything to write home about. I know the Grizz won but STILL he was the 5th leading scorer & didn’t lead his team in any statistical category. #dubnation10:05 PM

Warriors fall in Memphis 131-110. “Bye Draymond” is echoing through the crowd behind me.
Golden State (34-33) went 0-3 on this road trip. Milwaukee and Phoenix are up next on the schedule. – 9:58 PM

I regret that I will not be in the locker room to hear what Dillon Brooks has to say tonight.
Damn. – 9:53 PM

This game is great. It’s still possible. (With a long way still to go.) Grizzlies 77, Warriors 59. Dillon Brooks with the three best plays of the half. – 8:45 PM

That was rousing. Grizz up at the half, 77-59. Dillon scores on Draymond and gets in his face for more of what Steve Kerr called …. Banter! – 8:44 PM

Every time Draymond catches the ball fans all over the place are yelling “Shoot! Shoot it!” – 8:26 PM

When Dillon Brooks had the ball on offense, Klay Thompson yelled from the scorers table, “shoot it!”
When Brooks missed, Klay said, “We gone live with Brooks shooting it all day.” – 8:25 PM

It’s killing Dillon Brooks to stay calm after that possession. You just know it is. 😂 – 8:24 PM

David Locke @DLocke09
Defending inside 6 feet (min 5 shots per game)
Walker Kessler ranks as the 4th best defender. The only guys better this year are Draymond Green, Giannis and Jaren Jackson Jr.
By the end of the year all three may have won defensive player of the year – 7:18 PM

More on this storyline

Dressed down in a nude-colored designer sweater with dark brown pants to match, Dillon Brooks slid his feet into his Dolce & Gabbana sneakers and put on his dark colored brown shades as media members circled around him in the locker room after the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Golden State Warriors 131-110 Thursday night at FedExForum. “This is the hot topic right here,” Brooks said with a grin on his face.  This was Brooks’ chance to get his jab back in the verbal war with Draymond Green of the Warriors. After all, he started it with his comments in an ESPN story about Green. A day before Thursday’s game, Green ruthlessly responded to Brooks. Among the many things Green said was implying that the Grizzlies will be a better team after Brooks leaves. Brooks won the war on the floor Thursday. He finished with 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting and six assists, but that wasn’t enough. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / March 10, 2023
Clutch Points: Jared Greenberg: “That was an impressive showing tonight.” Dillon Brooks: “Thank you. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. You should give the mic to Draymond, then will talk about me… Make him keep talking about me so I can play better” 😂 pic.twitter.com/FezaZ0OSta -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 10, 2023

Clutch Points: “Who do you want to sign? You wanna sign Carmelo Anthony? You wanna sign Dwight Howard? Who do you want to sign? Those guys are trying get back into the league. They’re not trying to hone in on a guy and be a vet. A real vet is like Udonis Haslem.” Dillon pic.twitter.com/hI5Hf5V20D… -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 10, 2023
