“I don’t see a team who can beat us” – Klay Thompson claims Warriors NOT SCARED of any team in the playoffs
Klay Thompson exudes confidence in the Warriors' playoff chances.
The Golden State Warriors are close to clinching a playoff spot as one of the top six seeds in the Western Conference thanks to exceptional performances by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. They have won seven of their last nine games, with Stephen Curry leading the way with his MVP-level play. Curry averaged 37.1 points, 6.1 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in March, shooting 46.6% from beyond the arc. He added 25 points and nine assists against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
Klay Thompson, who scored 29 points and made five 3-pointers in the same game, said the Warriors are not scared of any team in the postseason. He said the Warriors have the experience and pedigree of a championship team, having won four titles in the last seven years.
“We have to value the ball more, take great shots, communicate on defense. If we do those three things I don’t see a team who can beat us in a seven-game series when we’re healthy,” Thompson said in the post game interview.
The Warriors have been dealing with injuries and inconsistency throughout the season, but they have shown signs of improvement lately. They have a solid supporting cast, with Donte DiVincenzo providing a spark off the bench, Draymond Green anchoring the defense and playmaking, and Kevon Looney grabbing rebounds and setting screens. They also have some promising young players like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, who could contribute in the playoffs.
Klay Thompson’s Warriors face Blazers in the season finale
The Warriors will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday in their final game of the regular season. The Blazers are also fighting for a playoff spot, but they have struggled defensively and have lost four of their last six games. The Warriors have beaten the Blazers twice this season by an average of 15 points, with Curry and Thompson combining for 69 points in their last meeting.
If the Warriors win, they will secure the fifth seed and avoid the play-in tournament. If they lose, they could still make it as one of the top six seeds depending on other results. The Warriors are confident that they can compete with anyone when they play with energy, focus, and discipline. They also know that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, as they are not expected to win it all this year by many experts and fans.
“We’re just going to go out there and play with joy and play with passion and see what happens,” Thompson said. “We’re not going to put too much pressure on ourselves because we know we’re capable of great things.”
The Warriors have two of the best shooters and scorers in NBA history in Curry and Thompson, who can catch fire at any moment and change the momentum of a game. They have a versatile and unselfish style of play that makes them hard to defend and fun to watch. They are not scared of any team in the playoffs because they believe in themselves and their system.
