Clutch Points: “I’m my worst critic. I know I’m playing like trash, I know I’m not shooting the 3 well, but I’m trying to do all the little things… DB gonna be still here on the defensive end trying to minimize points from their best players. ” 🗣 Dillon Brooks after the Grizzlies Game 5 win pic.twitter.com/DEqMubO5PR

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Dillon Brooks said he isn’t on social media so he doesn’t see anything. He is his own worst critic and said he knows he’s “playing like trash”. He said he is doing all the little things to work on his jump shot, be more physical on the offensive end and being that defensive “DB”! – 12:50 AM

Dillon Brooks says he doesn’t pay attention to social media but he knows he has been shooting “like trash.” He says he’s been trying to impact game in many other areas which he’s been doing. Even though he grabbed his hamstring from him as some point tonight, he said nothing will keep him out – 12:36AM

Here’s how bad of a beatdown this is… The crowd is begging Dillon Brooks to shoot contested 3s just to rub it in. Grizzlies up 110-61 and there’s still 3:44 left in the 3Q. – 11:21 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Dillon Brooks’ redemption song is a rainbow 3 over Steph Curry for a 39-point Grizzlies lead. And now an unprompted “Whoop That Trick” chant and Warriors timeout. – 11:11 PM

During a timeout with 8:40 remaining, FedExForum played “Whoop That Trick” and rapper Al Kapone came out to fire up the crowd, with people waving their Growl Towels and chanting in unison. Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. joined the crowd by dancing on the sidelines. -via USA Today Sports / May 12, 2022
Curry and Draymond Green watched from the sidelines but Green, ever the troll, waved his towel along with the crowd. Green kept waving even after Al Kapone called out Curry – “Steph Curry, in your face!” – to keep the crowd engaged. -via USA Today Sports / May 12, 2022
