Klay Thompson has blasted Rockets ahead Tari Eason for carrying a “Warriors come out to play” t-shirt throughout Golden State’s 133-110 win over Houston on Thursday. Thompson took subject with Eason “trolling” regardless of not being in uniform for the sport.
“That’s pretty lame, especially if you’re not even playing,” he said. “Like it’s one factor for those who’re taking part in and also you’re on the market competing and you’ll again it up.
“But if you’re just going to be trolling from the sideline, like bro, what are we doing? At times we talk mess [but] at least we’re out there competing. That’s all I have to say about that.”

Eason had beforehand yelled “Warriors, come out to play!” on an Instagram Live video. Houston had been surging in the direction of stealing Golden State’s tenth seed (the ultimate postseason spot) due to a successful streak that lasted 11 video games.
But their streak has since been adopted by three consecutive losses, together with tonight’s defeat towards Golden State. That places the Rockets 4 video games out of the 10-seed.
Houston has not but been formally eradicated from postseason competition, however with simply six video games remaining within the common season, their possibilities of making it aren’t wanting nice.
The group’s immediately bleak outlook doesn’t appear to be sitting properly with Houston coach Ime Udoka, who didn’t mince phrases postgame.
“It looked like the moment was too big for a lot of players out there,” he stated. Looked like deer in headlights slightly bit. Either appeared smooth or scared, one or the opposite.”
The Rockets will now need to win nearly all of their remaining video games whereas hoping the Warriors lose nearly all of theirs.
