During the latest episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson opened up about losing to the Los Angeles Lakers.

"That Lakers series was tough," Thompson admitted. "I obviously didn't shoot the ball as well as I wanted to. I shot it terribly. But, you know, it's tough when Anthony Davis is down there at the rim... He just affects so many shots, and LeBron [James] is still doing his thing."

On bouncing back from that loss, Thompson added, "I give the Lakers credit. They played very well. But I know [Andrew Wiggins], [Steph Curry], Draymond Green], [Chris Paul] and I - and the rest of the guys are hungry. We're in our group chat right now trying to set up some minicamps before the season, but we're all on the same page. Like look, we got another ring in us. We at least expect that. We can do it if we just stay the course... So last year I definitely have a bad taste in my mouth still, but that's not the worst thing. Now I'm hungrier than ever and I want to get back to that mountain top. Four [rings] is cool, but why not get as many as you can get?"

Using that Lakers loss as motivation, the Warriors are looking to bounce back next season.
