Klay Thompson, a guard for the Golden State Warriors, responded to the booing of the crowd by stating that he does not care about it and questioned whether he should be so concerned about it that sleeping through it.
In the aftermath of yet another crushing loss, the Golden State Warriors were met with jeers from their own supporters.
Against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Warriors were defeated by a score of 105-141, marking their sixth consecutive loss in the last eight games.
After being questioned about the boos from the crowd, Klay Thompson stated that he did not care about it.
“I don’t care,” Thompson remarked in response to the booing from the spectators. “You supposed to lose sleep over it?”
A different viewpoint was expressed by Stephen Curry, a star player for the Warriors.
“We are obviously struggling, there’s nothing to cheer about,” Curry commented on. When it comes to it, I don’t take it in any particular manner. Since I’m being completely honest, I’m booing myself and our team in my thoughts because of the way that we’re playing, but this is how things are. The responses of the fans are going to be exactly what they want. One of our responsibilities is to provide them with something to be happy about, but we have not done that.
It was also the opinion of head coach Steve Kerr that his squad deserved to be treated in such a manner by their own fans.
“There is no doubt that we deserved it,” Kerr stated. “Insist on falling quickly behind. It seems to me that we are just lacking confidence at the moment. There are moments when you reach a point where you simply lose the ability to believe in something. The event takes place.
In addition, this is exactly what has transpired with our team over the course of the past few days. Kerr continued by saying, “I believe that we have simply lost the spirit and the confidence that is necessary to carry you around against talented teams night in and night out.”
