What Klay Thompson really thinks of the series vs. the Lakers

In what promises to be an EPIC series between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, the players started talking about what they think of this new series in round two of the playoffs.

Klay Thompson is one of the stars to look for in the Warriors, and right after they closed out the tough series against the Sacramento Kings, he reacted on facing LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

“It’s special,” Thompson said. “Play LeBron [James] in the Finals four times – one of the greatest to ever play, and Anthony Davis is right there as well, played A.D. in the playoffs too, and they have – watching that last series against Memphis – it looks like they’re gelling."

“Their guys know their roles. The other guys besides those two. It will be a huge challenge, but we’re excited to play the Lakers. I mean, it’s a legendary franchise. Warriors-Lakers, it’s been long since they’ve seen each other in the playoffs. I know I’m personally excited. I get to play in front of my father and my mother, and some of my best friends and go down to SoCal after our home stand. It’s just a dream come true. I’ve waited for this for 12 years.” Said Thompson.

The Lakers' advantage over the Golden State Warriors

The Lakers knocked out the Memphis Grizzlies, the No. 2 seed in the West, in just six games in the first round. James, Davis, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell all had games where they put up big numbers for the Lakers. Forward Rui Hachimura also had some strong showings early in the series off the bench. On the other hand, the GSW had Stephen Curry, who had to score 50 points to make his team advance to round 2, and their team had one more game played that had exhausted them physically and mentally.
