Sometimes a team will struggle especially if they miss one piece of their star player, and in the case of the Warriors, that was Klay Thompson who was a clutch player and knows how to win. Did you still remember that Thompson was the big reason for the Warrior's comeback when they were down 3-1 against the OKC with WB and Durant, after that season, Durant joined the Warriors and the Warriors won their championship as they got stronger.
There're no doubts about Klay he's like Pippen when MJ still playing here playing. He keeps giving Step the help that he needed and always fills his lapses.
They are a perfect duo who will kill you from the long range. The best offense is the defense system inside this league. You can't just leave anyone as both can kill you in a just split of your eyes.
They will be tested once again after those injuries they are now coming back with much stronger rivals. They are not the heavy favorite to win the title but in terms of capabilities; they are no longer at the bottom they can surprise everyone for sure!
They surprised me last season when they almost made it to the playoffs, Curry was playing very well, it's just that he cannot carry the team alone as the other teams are full of all-stars, unlike the Warriors where only Curry could produce points consistently. With Thompson coming back, they will likely become better but I think their journey to the championship will be harder compared to the past since the Lakers are a heck of a team now.
Yeah, we could definitely says that he carry GSW last year on his shoulder, so much that he become the scoring champion last year. And the rest are either inconsistent and still lacks the experience to win big games.
But if Thompson comes back early next year, it will be a different GSW, but they have to grind it everyday to at least make the playoffs again.
