The Golden State Warriors just got pancake-pressed by the Memphis Grizzlies, but Shaquille O’Neal is still plenty confident in them.
After the Warriors were demolished Wednesday in Game 5 of their second-round series against the Grizzlies by a 134-95 final, the retired Basketball Hall of Famer O’Neal offered a bold guarantee about Game 6.
“I’m guaranteeing you Golden State gonna blow these boys up by 30,” said O’Neal on TNT. “Guarantee!”

Game 6 of the series will take place at home for the Warriors, who now lead 3-2, on Friday. That means that they should indeed be favored to close out the series, especially with the Grizzlies still down star player Ja Morant.
O’Neal has become a bit of a Warriors homer this season. But with Golden State still not having lost at home in these playoffs, his stance is definitely not a bad one to take.
