The ongoing saga between the Golden State Warriorsand the Memphis Grizzliescontinues to play itself out on social media.
After Klay Thompson called out Memphis big man Jaren Jackson Jr. following Golden State's NBA Finals victory Thursday, a fan tweeted that a Warriors-Grizzlies Christmas Day matchup in San Francisco was a near-shoo-in. Memphis star Ja Morantresponded, saying he wants that game at home.Warriors forward Draymond Green then retweeted Morant, saying, "The champs play at home."
Morant agreed to travel to San Francisco for the potential matchup, saying the league needs to "book (that) shit."
The Grizzlies pushed the Warriors in a six-game series in the Western Conference semifinals despite Morant missing time with injury. Golden State went on to complete its quest for a fourth championship in the last eight seasons.
