Golden State Warriors Rumors
Thursday afternoon, Wanda Durant tweeted, “The Durant family extends our deepest condolences & prayers to Cliff’s mother, siblings, family & friends. Our family was an extension of his & we shared wonderful memories. His transition is an incredible loss for all of us who loved him, he will be missed dearly #CliffDixon RIP.”
Klay Thompson, a week after apologizing to the Golden State Warriors’ fan base over remarks about their lack of energy at Oracle Arena, delivered another subtle poke Thursday, saying it was important to remain focused on his day-to-day performance over the changing perceptions of media and fans. “At the end of the day, the love from the media and fans can be fickle, just because it’s so game-to-game,” Thompson said. “We live in a time where it’s ‘What have you done for me lately?’ You can’t get caught up in the love right now.”

Despite often defending the opposing team’s top scorer with relative success, Thompson has not made an NBA All-Defensive team. “It’s always been a goal of mine. I pride myself on playing on both sides of the ball,” Thompson said following morning shootaround. “It would be awesome to make All-Defensive team before it’s all said and done.”
“I’m not a steals guy, but we have to have some great defenders on this team. We’ve been in first place for four out of five freaking years,” Thompson said. “So at the end of the day we have to have some great defenders. It’s not just all offense with this team. We got guys that play that side of the ball.”
