It is not a good idea to piss Klay Thompson off. The Celtics fanbase has always been quite infamous for being disrespectful and extra. More often than not, their behavior ends up backfiring in their face.
Today, The Warriors faced off against The Boston Celtics for Game 4 of the NBA finals. The Celtics had everything going for them and came into the arena all pumped up to win it for their fans at home. If they had won the game then the series would have probably been over. A 3-1 lead is considered to be an insurmountable feat within the NBA. It has only been done once before by LeBron and his Cavaliers back in the 2017 Finals.
“F*ck You Klay” chant gives fire to a massive fourth-quarter eruption by Klay Thompson
Klay started the game extremely slow and couldn’t get anything going but all of that took a quick turn when the Boston Fans started a “F*ck You Klay” chant. Before the chant, Klay Thompson had 10 points on 4-13 FG. After the disrespectful chant began, Klay took over and scored 8 points on 3-3 FG. Klay’s insane 4th quarter takeover, combined with Steph Curry’s clutch shots led the Warriors over the Celtics.
The Warriors are now heading into game 5 of the finals with home-court advantage and have everything they need to take a commanding lead in these otherwise close finals.
Klay Thompson has been a huge factor for the Warriors in these finals. He’s had a chip on his shoulder ever since he came back from the injuries. And the behavior of the Celtic fans will only give more reason to go even harder.
If Steph gets enough support from Klay and Draymond plays like his usual self, then this trio will be all set to run away with the series.

The Celtics have a lot of heart and talent on their team. But what they don’t have is a lot of playoff experience in comparison to the Warriors. This is the Warrior’s 6th Final appearance within the last 8 years and that stat alone should be enough for anyone to see that they are the favorites to win this year’s finals.
We hope that Thompson can stay healthy and keep up his level of play in the upcoming games. Basketball is amazing to watch when Klay Thompson is out on the court doing what he does best.
