Klay Thompson calls Timofey Mozgov "kinda dirty" after setting questionable pick

Postgame Warriors Talk - Klay Thompson 5.28.16

It looks like things might be getting testy between the Warriors and Cavaliers after Cleveland"s Game 3 blowout win Wednesday.

Late in the first quarter of the Cavs" 120-90 win, Cleveland big man Timofey Mozgov set a hard screen on Klay Thompson in the middle of the key. Thompson"s leg collided with Mozgov, sending the Warriors" All-Star guard to the floor.

Thompson stayed down for a few minutes and eventually went back to the locker room to have his leg checked. But Thompson felt this play was more than just an accidental collision.

"It seemed kinda dirty to me," Thompson said after the game. "To stick his knee out too, but you know what, that"s basketball."

Thompson finished with 10 points on 4 of 13 shooting from the field, including only 1 of 7 from deep. The Warriors will need a better effort from him and Steph Curry if they want to stay in control of this series.

"Have you ever been downloading something online and halfway through it just froze and couldn"t go anywhere? Think Steph Curry"s puberty," said the NBA MVP. "One day Klay Thompson is gonna leave the house without remembering to attach his goatee that he bought from Party City, and it"ll be awkward," recited the Warriors" other backcourt phenom, offering a grim stare into the camera.

Andre Iguodala, last year"s NBA Finals MVP, endured a cheap shot about his "dirty looks," while the recently eliminated Thunder"s Russell Westbrook was forced to admit he "looks like Jar Jar Binks." ("I"ll take your word for it," he fired back. "I don"t know who that is.") Magic Johnson also noted a famous celebrity similarity: a "bald, black John Travolta."

The bit also featured insults about Blake Griffin"s appearance ("Did Morgan Freeman and Carrot Top impregnate an Amazon [sic] or what happened?), commentator Reggie Miller"s ears ("Pretty sure Reggie Miller"s ears provide WiFi") andInside the NBA analystShaquille O"Neal"s weight ("Shaq is a fat a*s old man").
