The NBA season is coming to an end, and the overall ranking of Western teams is still undecided, and even presents a day-to-day pattern. But for now, this temporary ranking may be what everyone will see in the end. We've talked about four or five Suns vs. Clippers showdowns before, and today I'll talk about another potentially more topical and perhaps more exciting first-round matchup, which is the Warriors vs Grizzlies. Because the two teams have generated too many grudges in the past two years alone, let's take a look at the most discussed grievances between the two teams in recent years.
No1 - Iguodala and Dillon & Morant
Durant and Klay suffered serious injuries that year, and the Braves lost the Finals. The old dynasty collapsed in an instant, and Iguodala was traded to the Grizzlies. But after Grizzlies management failed to use Iguodala to trade the market, the latter refused to report to the team and coach the youngsters. Then there was Dillon and Morant on the Internet to set off ridicule and attack on Iguodala, which directly led Curry to personally stand up for the good brothers, and finally developed into the confrontation between Morant and Curry. Since then, the two teams have forged a bond, and the seeds of hatred have been planted in the hearts of both sides.
No2 - Playoffs
In the 2020-2021 season, Curry dragged the Warriors without Klay and a group of rookies, plus a group of Development League players who finally entered the top eight. However, the league began to enforce play-off play that season, and the Warriors had to compete with the Grizzlies for the last spot after losing to the Lakers in the first game. At that time, Curry and the Warriors were already at the end of the crossbow after losing the first play-off game, and they were eventually eliminated by the Grizzlies in overtime.
No3 - Dillon and Air Scrap Peyton Jr
In the second round of the playoffs last season, the Warriors and Grizzlies met in a narrow way, and in the end, the Warriors eliminated the invincible Grizzlies. However, this series is also full of gunpowder. First, Dillon once again chased down the mid-air and directly eliminated Payton Jr., which left the Warriors' guard line with one less defensive tip to clamp Morant. Morant then suffered a knee injury in a confrontation with Poole and was reimbursed for the season, which made the two sides still unhappy with each other after the victory and defeat had been divided.
No4 - Dillon and Green are passionate about each other on and off the court
This season, the Grizzlies and Warriors are basically in a state of hatred and red eyes, even if it is an ordinary regular season game, both sides are fully engaged in it as if it were a playoff. Green and Dillon have been back on the court from the sidelines, and even now they have not given up any opportunity to lash out and taunt each other.
