“I don’t care about Dillon Brooks,” Thompson told The Commercial Appeal. “When he retires, I don’t think anyone will ever talk about Dillon Brooks ever again. I promise you. It’s sweet right now, but wait 10 years.”

Klay Thompson reminding everyone that he has four rings during tonight’s loss vs the Grizzlies.
Golden State also only has seven road wins the entire season 😬

Dillon Brooks had a masterful performance on both ends. I think his defense against Steph Curry today should add to his All-Defensive team case right up there with the Zion and Shai-Gilgeous games.
Grizzlies 133 GSW 119
Three quick takeaways:

I’ve shared this before, but it’s maybe the most telling Dillon Brooks and Grizzlies stat out there.
Over the past two seasons, the Grizzlies are 22-1 when Brooks shoots 50% or better. 20 of those wins are by double-digits.
Brooks scored 18 tonight and shot 7-for-10. – 10:41 PM

The Grizzlies win 133-119 at home against Golden State. Another intense game between these two. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the way with 31 points. Dillon Brooks brought the theatrics (and defense).
Ja Morant joins the team on Monday – 10:38 PM

Dillon Brooks hits the 3 and does a series of skips right past Steph Curry. This is one of the most entertaining players in the sport, whether you hate him or love him. – 9:35 PM

Dillon Brooks is talking to Steph Curry nonstop. On the latest example, Curry just kept walking as if he wasn’t there. Me thinks DB won’t stop. – 9:03 PM

Dillon Brooks started by laughing at that call, then suddenly got really hot.
Grizzlies security smartly pulled him away from the official before what would have been a costly 18th technical. – 8:58 PM

More on this storyline
“Is this one of those teams that’s easy to get up for and easy to get refreshed for?” Dillon Brooks: “Oh yeah. They got Draymond talking, they got Klay talking. So it’s easy to get ready for this game. I was ready. I only got 4 hours of sleep.” -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 19, 2023
Klay Thompson pulled a Kobe Bryant on Dillon Brooks 😅 -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 19, 2023
Brooks took Thompson’s gestures in stride as competitive banter. With a hoarse voice, he commended what the Warriors have done the past 10 years and said the Grizzlies are using it as fuel. “He’s got four rings. That’s all he was saying. It’s motivation to us,” Brooks said. “We want a ring as well. Being able to go through the process of steps that we did last year, we keep going and learning from it all. It’s friendly trash talk, but I just hold a lot of real estate over there in San Francisco.” -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / March 19, 2023
