Klay Thompson Issues Warning to NBA Teams About Warriors Threat

• Klay Thompson has sent a warning to the rest of the NBA about the threat posed by a healthy Golden State Warriors
• The Warriors won the title last season but have failed to build some consistency this season
• They are a win away from clinching a top-six berth in the Western Conference

Klay Thompson has said the Golden State Warriors are a dangerous team when everyone is healthy.

The Warriors have struggled for consistency all season. They have one of the worst records on the road (10-30) but have been sensational when playing at home (33-8).

The Warriors surprised many when they won their fourth NBA title, beating the Boston Celtics in six games.

The Warriors' core of Thompson, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are one of the most formidable trios in the NBA. They have not lost a Western Conference playoff series when all three are healthy.

Thompson's warning to NBA teams

The reigning NBA champions have won seven of their last nine games and end their season on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. If they win that game, they avoid the play-in tournament.

Steve Kerr has a complete roster after Andrew Wiggins returned from a prolonged absence. Thompson has full confidence in their team.

"I don't see a team who can beat us in a seven-game series when we're healthy," via ESPN.

In their latest game, the Warriors committed 24 turnovers but stole a 119-97 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Kerr, however, said his team can't flip the switch when they want.

"We've always been a team that lives on the edge," Kerr said. "We're a little wild, a little chaotic, but we've thrived in that chaos for many years. We just can't cross the edge. ... It's up to us. We have it in us. But the focus, the attention to detail, it all has to be there."

The Western Conference is stacked this time compared to last season. Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, and the Los Angeles Lakers pose a serious threat.

Wiggins on stepping away from Warriors

Sports Brief earlier reported on Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins opening up on why he stepped away from the Warriors in February.

Wiggins has missed the Warriors’ last 22 games because of a family matter. He didn’t divulge the reason behind his long absence in a press conference. He won't play Sunday's game vs. Blazers.

"When you're in a certain situation, and your family needs you and requires your attention and your love, that's my first priority."
