Stephen A. Smith Says Warriors Would Beat Lakers In Playoffs With Healthy Klay Thompson

The Golden State Warriors started the 2021-22 NBA season hot, having a perfect 3-0 record. They beat all the California teams including the Los Angeles Lakers and L.A. Clippers.

Even having too many injuries in the team, the Warriors have managed to win games. The Warriors are playing without lottery picks James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga and their superstar Klay Thompson is still on the sideline.

In the latest episode of ESPN’s ‘First Take’, Stephen A. Smith claimed that the Warriors could win it all this year and added that the Brooklyn Nets are the only team that could beat them.

“The Golden State Warriors might win it all. … [If Klay comes back healthy], the only thing that will have any chance of stopping them is Kyrie Irving returning to Brooklyn. … There is no one else, including the Lakers, that [could knock them off].”
