For Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors, rumors involving his team's chemistry is overblown.

Per Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Thompson faced the media after their 103-96 loss to the Orlando Magic. Thompson was casually frank when he said that the team chemistry drama surrounding them is a tad bit exaggerated.

Such rumors have been hounding the Warriors since the start of the season. Some believe the team — which has won three of the last four NBA championships — is about to break up. Rumors have pointed to expiring contracts and the pressure to win another title as the main culprits.

Apart from which, the heated exchange between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant early in the season became the talk of the league for quite some time. Warriors critics believe the altercation might drastically influence Durant's decision in the summer — whether to stay or go someplace else.

When they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, all eyes will be on the Warriors once again.

Will the Warriors suffer their third defeat in a row or will they hush the critics up?
