After the announcement made by Shams Charania of a match between Warriors and Lakers in San Francisco to start the 2022-23 season, another poster was unveiled by Marc Stein, NBA insider. According to him, Golden State will receive Memphis on December 25 for Christmas Day. A poster in real big Christmas present mode, since it is very likely to smell of revenge after the series of Playoffs between the two teams this season.
Forget the yule log for dessert because it is there, the real opportunity to end the Christmas meal in style. Well in fact, don’t forget it and mix the two likes, it’s always better in fact. Warriors versus Grizzlies, here’s a poster that could take your breath away when it’s time to open the last gifts. As a reminder, the last confrontation between the two teams was held in the Western Conference semi-finals last season.
Memphis at Golden State is another Christmas Day game on the NBA’s preliminary schedule for the 2022-23 season that is on course to be made official this coming week, league sources tell me.

The memories we have of it? Ja Morant who swings Jordan Poole, a monumental knockdown inflicted on the Warriors in Memphis… but above all the proof that as daring as they are, the Bears do not yet have the experience necessary to unbolt this troop led by Stephen Curry. It is with all this spirit of revenge that Memphis will return to the Bay, for a match that is likely to make very large audience scores. At the announcement of the news, the players did not hide their enthusiasm. Starting with Ja Morant, who immediately challenged Draymond Green on Twitter.

Once again – and like the Warriors-Lakers back to school – the NBA has pulled out all the stops to guarantee the maximum success of its special Christmas day. In addition to a simple confrontation, remember: after the Warriors title, Draymond Green and Ja Morant took the cabbage on Twitter – again – over a somewhat rowdy statement from Klay Thompson on Jaren Jackson Jr. on the day of the title celebration. « We got real estate on your mind » this way, « We sold it to Boston because the value was more important over there, and you get the perfect backdrop for a tough reunion that will reek of basketball and the desire to win. Since then, it is important to note that the tensions have subsided, Draymond going until very recently to declare that he saw a lot of his person in the character of the young leader of the Grizz’. An atmosphere that will of course remain in the competition on D-Day, for our greatest pleasure.
The perfect scenario for Adam Silver, which also features the kings of the era, the Warriors, facing the team that perhaps best embodies the future of the Great League today: the Grizzlies. A clash of generations? It seems like it, but let’s respect the young guard of the Warriors who in his own way also embodies the future of the San Francisco franchise. One thing is certain: whether you are for one or the other, the date is to be checked without fail because the game may well be memorable.
That’s the power of your voice Young! Let’s goooo! Bring the fam to the crib for dinner after https://t.co/xs8GpKkQtE
