Any basketball fan knows this isn’t the first time the Golden State Warriors have been in the NBA Finals.
In fact, this is their sixth appearance in the championship in eight years.
They’ve had their share of disappointments during those appearances but they’ve also had three victories too.
Right now they are battling to even the series against the Boston Celtics.
One person believes they can do it: Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson: "We've been in this situation before. I'm getting 2015 vibes."

Speaking of the current 2-1 deficit they find themselves in, Thompson didn’t seem too worried about his team.
“We’ve been in this situation before,” Thompson said.
He continued: “I’m getting 2015 vibes.”
Fans of the team sure hope Thompson is right because things definitely turned around for the Warriors back in 2015 and it was one of their finest moments.
Flashback
Back in 2015, the Warriors were once facing off against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It was a wild Finals.
The first game went to the Warriors in overtime and then the Cavs tied things up in Game 2.
Cleveland also grabbed the third game, giving them a 2-1 lead over the Warriors.
But that was the last game James and his squad would win: the Warriors went for three in a row and took home the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
That’s what Thompson is imagining will happen this year.
But how realistic is that?
While the Warriors look and feel a lot like the team they were in 2015, the Celtics they are playing against aren’t like the Cavs of seven years ago.
It’s becoming obvious that the resurgence of the Celtics midseason was no fluke.
This young, driven team is hungry for the win and has become a true threat.
Yes, the Warriors could pull out the win but the Celtics might put up more of a fight than 2015’s Cavs did.
