Klay Thompson says Warriors are better than Showtime Lakers

You win a title and go up 2-0 in a second NBA Finals and all of a sudden you start talking smack to your dad...

Klay Thompson has a right to be feeling confident in the Golden State Warriors. The team just beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in lopsided fashion for the second consecutive time to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals, and Thompson has had a dominating postseason. Thompson's 24.8 points per game are tied for team high in the playoffs and, while his per-game statistics haven't been quite as gaudy against Cleveland, the threat of his shooting has the Cavaliers chasing their own tails and closing out at ghosts.
