"I'm booing myself." Contrary to Klay Thompson, Steph Curry seemingly concedes warranting Warriors fans rage
Klay Thompson and Steph Curry find themselves in a losing record of 17-20 after getting blown away by the New Orleans Pelicans in their home court with a wide margin of 36 points. The fans expressed their displeasure at the Chase 1 Arena, and the Splash brothers accept the criticism they are getting with how they play.
The Warriors have a favorable schedule as their last seven games are played on their home floor. The team has only won twice and has lost their last two matches against the Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans.
In the post-game press conference, Steph Curry agrees with the fans' feelings and would do the same if he was in their seats:
"We are obviously struggling and there is nothing to be cheered about so obviously the cheering is booing," said Steph Curry. "I don't take it in any certain type of way. Honestly, I'm booing myself. Booing our team in my head because of the way we're playing."
However, Klay Thompson shrugged off the fans' reaction by just ignoring the boobirds at the Chase 1 Center:
"I don't care. You supposed to sleep over it?" said Klay Thompson.
