Dunno if any of this matters tonight but...

Some stat rankings to consider:

Baskets made per game: Memphis 7th Golden St 17th

Points allowed per game: Mem 16th GSW 18th

Turnovers per game (with 1 ranking meaning least): Mem 9th, GSW 26th

Total rebounding rate: Mem 11th, GSW 28th

Offensive rebounds per game: Mem 2nd, GSW 30th

Steals per game: Mem 2nd, GSW 6th

Blocks per game: Mem 10th, GSW 16th

Points per game: GSW scores 113.5, Mem 113.1

Both teams scored 100 last time out.

Dubs in addition to having the least offensive rebounds in the league allows the 2nd most offensive rebounds in the league (as stated above, the Griz are the 2nd best offensive rebounding team).

The Griz are better in basically every stat and points per game are less than half a free throw worse. 2nd chance points are huge in games like this and that offensive rebound rate is a big advantage for the Griz.

Memphis also leads the NBA in points in the paint. 

Their weakness is that they can fail to put teams away and are young. But they are chock full of talent and potential. They are also better on the road this year than at home. I know everyone thinks the league wants Curry in the playoffs, but the Grizzlies are far from boring and have several up and coming stars.

Looks like everyone and their mother on here is on the Dubs. I'll be waiting til tipoff and taking whatever points are there, probably get +5.5.

Insane action on the Warriors, seeing 85%+ on them so far. One of the more lopsided games betting wise at this point we've seen in a while.

 Amazing writeup. Thanks for sharing   Valenciunas tearin em up inside makes me nervous.

hard to say anything about an nba game til you see what the refs doing with the whistle

memphis win tonight or a cover will make vegas a boatload of cash though

JV over 15.0 boards may be a good prop bet....Looney not horrible and Draymond always somewhat tough on the glass

JV should have 9-10 boards by half tho....thought about betting him over 15.0 still debating it

@dubz4dummyz

 JV dominates tonight. 

Just bumping this to toot my own horn a bit... Too bad 90% of the forum bought into the BS instead of looking at this mountain of evidence

@NutinButtLove

 Great stuff bro. Keep it up. I wish I had had seen this post. I saw these numbers but I guess I was too impressed by the way the Warriors played against the Lakers. Now that I think of it. The Warriors weren’t that good. The Lakers were that bad.

@NutinButtLove

 warriors actually out rebounded memphis 48-47....

morant won you that bet.....

you were right, but not for all of those reasons listed above

@dubz4dummyz

  Grizz won offensive boards which mattered most. Do you understand basketball at all? The #1 team in steals won the turnover battle and capitalized off those turnovers on the other end. 

Grizzlies #1 in steals

Warriors 21 turnovers

Grizzlies 13 turnovers 

Grizzlies 22 points off turnovers

Warriors 12 points off turnovers

Grizzlies 16 offensive rebounds

Warriors 11 offensive rebounds

Don’t forget they won the rebound battle even while Valanciunas was in foul trouble. Had he not been in foul trouble Warriors get beat a little sooner. He isn’t far off and no one is going to be spot on with write ups however he noticed key stats that clearly were the difference in this game. Not sure what game you watched but the numbers are there. Grizz deserve the win.

Memphis also relies on the midrange shot more than any other team in this league. Warriors came into this game 11th at defending the midrange shot(another reason I took Warriors). They shit the bed last night. 

@NutinButtLove 

nice write up mah man didn't see it, but I did have the Grizzlies & Morant was very impressive indeed 

could possibly be the "the New Kids on the Block" so to speak
