Klay Thompson says Mozgov’s screen was ‘kind of dirty’

“Me and Steph, we’ll figure it out, but there’s no time to press and try to get our numbers”, Thompson said.

Instead of 3-point shots, scrutiny is falling around Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

But the Warriors still swept to wins in the first two games of the series because there were others that picked up the offensive slack and, more important, because they competed harder, smarter and more relentlessly at both ends of the court. “I’m guarding Kyrie, running full speed downhill, I just don’t know who is trying to set a pick on me in the middle of the key”, Thompson said.

“Obviously didn’t feel good but I’ll be all right”, Thompson said.

“I didn’t do anything about it or play my game, and for me to do what I need to do to help my team, I have to play a hundred times better than that, especially in the first quarter, to kind of control the game, and I didn’t do it”. “Nothing is going to keep me out of it”. But didn’t make sense to me.

After the a brutal 120-90 Game 3 loss, Thompson was not very pleased with the second quarter play. But we hope that the better team will show throughout the course of the series and that’s our mindset. “Neither one of them had huge games when we were up 2-0, but it didn’t matter because we won”.

Barkley is referring to a play in Game 7 of the Western Conference final where Green and Adams got tangled up trying to get a rebound, and Green grabbed Adams’ right arm and dragged him down to the floor.

“Luckily for us, we’ve got a day off. I’ve got to take the day off tomorrow and get it healthy”.

“You don’t stick your leg out like that unless you want to hurt somebody”, the elder Thompson said. “We’re all to blame”, Thompson said.

“Unfortunately, it was all me”, Curry said.

As if they needed it, the Warriors have the essential, urgent takeaway that they can carry into Game 4 on Friday night: Mess around early, and you’ll get run out of the building. Not the way we wanted tonight to go, myself included.
