The 2022 NBA Playoffs are incredibly feisty, and no series has depicted that more than the Warriors-Grizzlies Western Conference Semifinals. In fact, it’s taken feisty to a new level.
There have been flagrant fouls, ejections and suspensions, which have stolen most of the headlines in Golden State’s 3-1 series lead. But the trash talk in this series has been criminally underrated.
You may remember Stephen Curry yelling how he “locked that [expletive] up” after stealing the ball from Ja Morant on a potential game-winning possession in Game 1. And then Ja clapped back following a 47-point showing in Game 2, as he walked by Steph and sarcastically told him, “We’re gonna have some fun.”
