Fans roast Memphis Grizzlies after photo of their facility with Draymond Green’s quote go viral: “WHOPPED DAT TRICK!”, “They are a F**KING clown show”
The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams right now and have sparked a good number of rivalries with other Western Conference teams. One team that they are not fond of is the Golden State Warriors, who they played against on Christmas Day.
Warriors forward Draymond Green is notorious for his notable quotes from time to time. Funnily enough, one of his quotes about the Grizzlies ended up in the team's facilities. Posted on Twitter, most fans found it ironic as they lost to the eventual NBA champion Warriors during last year's playoffs and then 123-109 on Sunday night.

Fans couldn't get enough of it and decided to go all out in roasting Memphis for its choice of motivation. Here are some of the best reactions from fans on Twitter.

Maybe the Grizzlies need a different motivation when it comes to playing against the Warriors. They've had their numbers in their previous matchups already, and their talk of not being worried about anyone in the West hasn't aged well. Fans are even more excited to see both teams play against each other in the postseason.

The rivalry between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors has fans excited
On Sunday evening, the Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Warriors 123-109 as part of the NBA's five-game Christmas Day lineup. Many thought Memphis would get an easy win as Golden State was without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins. However, things took a turn as Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson carried the Warriors.
Throughout the entire game, the energy inside the Chase Center was intense. Memphis was poised to win, but Poole's shooting gene took over the entire game. The fourth-year guard had 32 points while shooting 44.0% before getting ejected early in the fourth period.
It is notable that both teams dislike the other squad. In addition to the impressive performances, a plethora of technical fouls were handed out throughout the game. Thompson even taunted Dillon Brooks as he nailed a midrange jumper which had the arena roaring.
Out of all the Christmas games, the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies lived up to the hype. It did not disappoint as the players were chippy against each other and the atmosphere was similar to a playoff game.
Memphis struggled to stay away from foul trouble early, which caused Jaren Jackson Jr. to only play 20 minutes.
Their rivalry is one of the great things about the NBA, and fans want to see them both play against each other again in the postseason.
