In the modern, switch-happy NBA, you're often as strong as your weakest link on defense. The Memphis Grizzlies learned Wednesday that applies to trash talk as well.
For reasons increasingly difficult to ascertain, Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks again tried to reawaken the team's rivalry with the Golden State Warriors by going after Draymond Green in an ESPN interview published Friday.
Trash talk between the two teams has been common but hasn't gone Memphis' way so far. The Grizzlies were eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals last year and have lost both games to the team this season, to say nothing of their other issues right now.
