Memphis deserves a lot of credit, but for the Warriors the main goal has to be to just keep chucking. The Warriors need to counter that with more off ball movement (specifically cuts), and trying to push a little more so they can get into their sets before Memphis’ defense is set. As for scoring in the paint, the Warriors have capitalized on the gravity that Curry, Thompson, and Poole have. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and the Warriors as a whole had an uncharacteristic shooting night in game two. That said, it’s not all bad for Memphis. Brooks obviously hasn’t been having a great season shooting the ball, and the Warriors defense is built around daring struggling shooters to shoot. The’ve used energy and athleticism to compete on the glass, though they’ve also benefited from slightly more opportunities, as the Grizzlies have missed six more shots than the Warriors in the series. It’s possible that with Brooks out, the Grizzlies resort to shooters who handle the Warriors defense a little bit better. Despite having two of the best shooters in NBA history, the Warriors have never been as reliant on the three ball as people believe. Is there anything in the NBA more fun than a superstar perimeter player trying to solve the puzzle that is an elite defense? Two of the most exciting players in the league going head to head. Through two games the Warriors have focused on forcing Morant into low-efficiency shots, but that can only go so far. You hang to every play like it could decide the game, and it becomes so much fun.

We go over how you can watch Saturday's ABC game between the Grizzlies and Warriors.
Despite stealing homecourt advantage following the win in Game 1, the Warriors’ backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson has been inefficient from behind the arc through the first two games and will look to get back in rhythm in the Bay Area. After Dillon Brooks’ Flagrant 2 foul in Game 2, the wing was suspended for Game 3.
