Perhaps the most uncomfortable part of the Warriors’ early-season slump has been the play of Klay Thompson.
An integral part of four championship runs, the taller half of the Splash Brothers has had a difficult start to the year, looking every bit like a 33-year-old player who’s dealt with multiple season-ending injuries on top of several deep playoff runs.
So forgive me, a romantic about dynastic teams and young cores that grow old together, if I’m looking for any positive signs about Thompson’s play. And if you look over Golden State’s last five games, those signs may actually exist!
