Klay Thompson Criticizes Tari Eason for Mocking Warriors: Not Cool

Klay Thompson didn’t hold back his thoughts on Houston Rockets’ player Tari Eason, who called out the Warriors on social media and wore a shirt with the phrase ‘Warriors, come out to play’ to the game against Golden State.

Thompson expressed his disapproval, calling Eason’s actions “pretty lame,” especially since Eason wasn’t even playing in the game. He believed it’s okay to talk if you’re playing and can back it up, but trolling from the sideline isn’t cool.

Despite the Rockets’ impressive 11-game winning streak bringing them close to the Warriors, Golden State has now secured a four-game lead over Houston in the standings with their current six-game winning streak.

Thompson had an outstanding night, scoring 29 points on just 15 shots, contributing to the Warriors’ sweep of the season series against the Rockets. Stephen Curry also added 29 points to the scoreboard.

The rivalry between the Warriors and the Rockets has been dominated by Golden State over the past decade. Despite changes in the Rockets’ lineup, the Warriors have consistently ended their successful seasons in the playoffs.

Draymond Green even expressed his lack of concern for the Rockets’ threat a week ago, showing the confidence of the veteran Warriors team.

Thompson expressed surprise at Eason’s actions, noting that he hasn’t played since January due to a leg injury. He emphasized the strain it puts on the team when someone who can’t contribute on the court is trying to rally them.

Unfortunately for Eason, his words couldn’t be backed up by his teammates on the court that night. Despite his absence, Eason has shown promise as a valuable player for the Rockets with his performance this season.

While the Rockets may not make the playoffs, they can still aim to finish the season above .500, which would be a historic achievement for the conference with 11 winning teams.
