ERST LESEN! » he is ready for a title tilt.In 2011

Klay Thompson doesnt believe that the Golden State Warriors will have to sacrifice after the addition of Kevin Durant during free agency this summer. In fact, that type of talk just motivates him even more.I feel kind of disrespected that people keep using the term sacrifice to describe me and describe us, Thompson told The Vertical on Tuesday. We all want to see each other do well. But Im not sacrificing [expletive], because my game isnt changing. Im still going to try to get buckets, hit shots, come off screens. I want to win and have a fun time every game we play.The NBA season can get mundane; 82 games are so long and there can be some boredom. Now, we can embrace being the hated team and getting everyones best, and adding some tension every night. Itll be a fun experience going into arenas on the road, with opposing fans hating what weve built.Golden State set an NBA regular-season record with 73 wins and led the league in scoring last season, but the Warriors fell just short of a repeat NBA title and lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games.The 27-year-old Durant, who had spent his nine NBA seasons with the Thunder, announced his decision to join the Warriors on July 4. He won the MVP in 2014, has been named first-team All-NBA five times and has made seven All-Star teams. He has appeared in four Western Conference finals and one NBA Finals, in which he lost in five games to the Heat in 2012.?He joins a Warriors lineup that -- in addition to Thompson -- features two-time defending league MVP Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Zaza Pachulia and Andre Iguodala.We want Klay to stay Klay, Durant told The Vertical. We dont want him to change. The games dictate where the shots come from. I may shoot 12 shots one night, Klay may shoot eight or nine shots one night, and Steph may shoot 25 shots one night. And it could be a different flow another night. Jakub Voracek Flyers Jersey . Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches.

Bernie Parent Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday. Daniel Ricciardo is convinced his relationship with teammate Max Verstappen can stay competitive and healthy, even if they are title rivals in 2017.Verstappen was elevated to Red Bull from Toro Rosso ahead of the Spanish GP this year and won his debut race for the team. Ricciardo is yet to be out-qualified by Verstappen in their races together and could have won in Spain himself were it not for a Red Bull strategy blunder, before a botched pit stop cost him a nailed-on win in Monaco.Red Bull has confirmed the pair are under contract until 2018 and Ricciardo says the arrival of Verstappen has been beneficial to the whole team.Its hard to predict whats going to happen in the long run but I can obviously speak for the first few races, and its been good, Ricciardo said. Max came in and set a bit of a tone in Barcelona so that was obviously a pretty crazy weekend. Since then its been good.Monaco then didnt work as well for him, and he openly admitted it and took it on the chin. So weve thrived off the new challenge, the new rivalry, so hopefully it can keep pushing the team in the right direction.Red Bull is hoping 2017s regulation changes put the onus back on aerodynamics and elevates them into title contention. Ricciardo says respect between the two teammates will be key to ensuring such a rivalry does not get out of hand in that eventuality.Hopefully there is some rivalry as a rivalry would probably mean were fighting for victories more often, but sure you can still have a healthy one. I think if youre maature about it and just admit one guy is better on the day and be open about it, I think you will always have good respect for each other.dddddddddddd Its probably when you start making excuses out of nothing is when it doesnt work out too well so just keep going hard, and I think so far so good.Though Ricciardo is eight years older than his teammate, at 26 he remains one of the brightest young commodities on the grid. The Australian knows he could have achieved more in his time in Formula One but is in no doubts he is ready for a title tilt.In 2011 I got my chance and it was my dream come true, then you do a few races, and then youre like now I want to be with a better team, I want points, I want podiums, I want wins. Fortunately Ive been able to get some wins now, which is a big box ticked for me.Now its like, OK, I want the next best thing which is a world championship. In a way youre never satisfied but obviously thats good because Im still very young and hungry so that fuels my hunger, but sure Im happy. Obviously Im very grateful to be in this position.I think all of us appreciate to be in this position, all 22 of us that are here. It is awesome but you cant help but want more. I think Seb [Vettel] at my age already had his four titles. So when I look at Seb Im like uhh! Id obviously love to achieve more at this age but fortunately Ive got some time on my side I think. ' ' '
