Klay Thompson Believes Nobody Can Beat Warriors in Playoffs

The NBA playoffs are right around the corner, and Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is confident in his group. Speaking with reporters after Golden State's recent win over the Sacramento Kings, Thompson said, "I don’t see a team who can beat us in a 7-game series when we’re healthy."

Both Thompson and his teammate Draymond Green made similar comments last season before the Warriors went on to win their fourth championship in the last eight seasons. Until they are taken down in the playoffs, the Warriors have good reason to feel this confident. Their championship core is intact with Thomson, Green, and superstar point guard Steph Curry, and they have more experience than any team they will see.

While the Warriors have not had the dominant regular season that is usually a prerequisite to any real playoff success, this is a core that has not lost a playoff series before the NBA Finals since 2014. Their run of dominance has defined this era of the NBA, and players like Thompson have earned the right to be confident.

Projected to finish 6th in the Western Conference standings, the Warriors are likely to face the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs. While some have underestimated what Sacramento could do in a playoff setting, this is a matchup multiple Warriors players have openly expressed confidence about.
