It had been two and a half years since the world saw the Splash Brothers together on an NBA court, when Klay Thompson made his return to the game earlier this month. Thompson was out for a long time with injuries. Thompson is shooting 35.4 percent from three-point range and is averaging 15.8ppg. It would be a slow build to what Thompson and Curry were before the NBA Finals. After Saturday night's victory over the Brooklyn Nets, it seems we might be seeing full-throttle Klay and Steph a lot sooner than expected.
The Bleacher Report has a status of "status"
Golden State's championship duo of Curry and Thompson scored the final 17 points for the Warriors in their victory over the Nets. Warriors fans were happy to see Thompson back after two brutal injuries. The Splash Bros getting back to their old form must be something out of this world.
The non-believers didn't like the idea of Golden State competing in the Western Conference this season. Ha! They are doing that and then some halfway through the year. Although the Warriors are three games behind the Suns for the top spot out west, I still think they will win the conference finals over Phoenix. I'm already calling that shot. For the last six weeks, I have said this. The Warriors-Suns will be your WCF match up in 2022. We don't know which team will have home-court advantage.
We aren't close to where Klay and Stephen will be in late May. Thompson is on a minute restriction and is playing about 23 per game. We are witnessing what they are capable of, and it is only going to get better over the next couple of months. Warriors fans are better off than the rest of the association. Curry's recent shooting struggles. He is below 40 percent on his three-point attempts for the first time in his career. It will be difficult for teams to have both on the court in the playoffs. Curry and Thompson scored 23 of Golden State's 32 fourth-quarter points.
