Is anyone besides me expecting a raucous round of boos when Draymond is introduced with the GSW starters? – 9:27 PM

Desmond Bane (back) will start for the Grizzlies tonight. Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins said the second-year guard would be a game-time decision. – 9:20 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Your starters for Game 2 of the GSW-Memphis series: GSW: Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins and Gary Payton II.
Grizz start: Xavier Tillman, Dillon Brooks, Ja, Jaren, Bane.
Set your fantasy lineups and put down your bets accordingly. – 9:19 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
The Xavier Tillman lineup stays intact for Game 2. – 9:16 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Good grief, this is a late start, so here are your officials for Game 2 of the Second round of the GSW-Memphis series: Scott Foster, Eric Lewis and Mitchell Ervin. Your alternate is Scott Twardoswki. Are you awake, @badunclep ?? – 9:16 PM

Ziaire Williams is a big return. John Konchar has been great this season, he didn’t give good minutes in Game 1. Williams is another lengthy defender the Grizzlies can throw at the Warriors’ shooters. – 9:10 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
A man is walking through the pinnacle level at FedExForum loudly chanting, “let’s go Warriors” in the face of some Grizzlies fans. Somebody need to pull him to the side before he run into the wrong South Memphis dude that had a bad day at work 😂 – 8:55 PM

No matter what kind of guard you are – point, shooting, combo, unicorn – it’s exceedingly difficult to shoot 72.7pct and 75pct from 3 over six playoff games.

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins isn’t giving any hints. Bane is a game-time decision, so is Ziaire Williams, and he declined to share his starting lineup. – 7:52 PM

Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Desmond Bane is a game-time decision, per Coach Jenkins. Jenkins said he tested out this morning and is making progress but they are going to get one final look before the game.
Ziaire Williams is also a game-time decision tonight for the @Memphis Grizzlies. – 7:50 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Taylor Jenkins says Desmond Bane is a gametime decision. The team will give it one more look before a decision is made. – 7:48 PM

Re: Desmond Bane – Game-time decision vs Warriors, per Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins – 7:48 PM

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Taylor Jenkins says Desmond Bane is a game-time decision with a back issue. Jenkins says the team will see how Bane is feeling later. – 7:48 PM

Draymond Green is back for Game 2 of Warriors-Grizzlies, vowing not to let the NBA’s flagrant foul point system reduce his game to all bark, no bite. nba.com/news/draymond-… – 4:22 PM

Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Here’s what caught my eye in all four Game 1’s. Who is the NBA’s Leeroy Jenkins? What’s the best way to slow down the Warriors? Can defenders please start a “too big” taunt? I empty out my thoughts in my notebook:

For game one against the Grizzlies, the Warriors have opted to start Gary Payton II on Ja Morant. Jordan Poole will come off the bench. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/01/gar… – 4:00 PM
