However, later this week, they will focus on beating former teammate Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors improved to 7-1 and are in a three-way tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns atop the Western Conference. Green sent a warning shot to Thompson via The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis after recalling a story he&#8217;s told before involving Mavs star Kyrie Irving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m working out; they come in again after me, and I&#8217;m talking to Kyrie, and he [Klay Thompson] walks up and says, \u201cKy, are you talking to the Ops?\u201d and I said there&#8217;s definitely some seriousness to it because he just said the same thing to me,\u201d Green said. \u201cTherefore, I&#8217;m going to run through his chest when we play him now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn&#8217;t going to, but now I&#8217;m going to run through his chest. That&#8217;s where that whole thing came from. Obviously, we all love Klay, but to love Klay is to also know that he&#8217;s going to come in there and try to murder us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stage is set for a potential bloodbath as the Warriors are riding high on a five-game winning streak topped off by their road win over the defending champions. Meanwhile, the Western Conference champion Mavs are 5-3 with Thompson averaging 14.5 points on 44.8% shooting, including 39.1% from deep.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Green gave his teammate, Mosey Moody, tips on what to expect from Thompson when the two teams clash next Tuesday in the group stage of the NBA Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven&#8217;t seen Klay post up with Dallas at all. He&#8217;s going to try and run you to the post mode,\u201d Green said. \u201cHe&#8217;s going to be on all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Warriors&#8217; Draymond Green still loves the teammate with whom he won four NBA titles, he&#8217;s expecting Thompson&#8217;s absolute best.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stephen Curry flashes NBA Finals form in win over Celtics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3113259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3113259\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Warriors-star-Draymond-Green-next-to-Warriors-superstar-Steph-Curry.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Warriors' Draymond Green sends Klay Thompson vicious warning ahead of match-up\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3113259\">Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Warriors superstar Stephen Curry stunned fans with an unreal trick shot at TD Garden, then got to work in beating the champion Celtics.
