Klay Thompson lashes out at LeBron and Cavaliers for 3-1 pettiness

Klay Thompson has a brain of an elephant and does not necessarily let go off stuff, something that was confirmed today when he spoke about how petty the entire Cavaliers outfit looked(team and fans alike) after their actions post the NBA title win in 2016.

The Cavs were 3-1 down in the finals, yet still, somehow managed to script a comeback and derail that smoothly functioning Warrior train.

The Warriors were ridiculed after the loss, and not only by social media, but by the Cavaliers team themselves at LeBron’s Halloween party.

Klay Thompson was not impressed by the actions of the Cavaliers and has now called out LeBron James and the entire team for their pettiness.

With the Warriors set to return to Cleveland for a game tomorrow, Thompson did not hold back in criticising the ‘bums and idiots’ who trolled GSW.

Speaking about his memories in and about Cleveland, Thompson said that he had pretty fond memories of Cleveland actually, with dinner at Morton’s being one of them.

“Definitely dinners at Morton’s,” Klay said.

“That’s a favorite. Had a great time there.” he added.

However, he was quick to reflect on all of those ‘petty jabs’ after the 2016 NBA finals, especially LeBron’s ‘Ultimate Warrior’ T-Shirt and that Halloween party where one could see tombstone cookies, one that referenced the ‘imagined’ deaths of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

“Oh, yeah. Ha!” Klay said.

“That was funny. Look how that turned out. Psssh. Bums. That was crazy. I forgot about that. Well, look at what pettiness gets you. Gets you 1-8 in the Finals. Idiots.” he added.

The Cavaliers did go a little too far with their title celebrations post the 2016 comeback win, but do you think it is fair on Klay Thompson’s part to hold a grudge for so long. Or do you think the Cavaliers and LeBron deserve it?

With the rivalry more or less dead post LeBron James’ departure, how do you think the Warriors would approach this game? They definitely still carry a grudge against the team and would love to show them their place with a thumping win tomorrow.
