Two years out. Can’t wait to watch him. Will be interesting to see if he’s lost any explosiveness. If he’s back in the same form the Warriors are going to be stupid good again (you can argue they already are)

Not sure if there is a team that was ever built better for any era of basketball than the Warriors of the the last 7 or so years are for the the modern era. At any given time they had 2 or 3 of the top 4 shooters in the world on the roster.

Good thing for Klay is that his game was never predicated on his athleticism.

He's always been known as a good defender though. If he doesn't have the lateral movement that he used to he could be a liability on the defensive side.

Yeah the defensive part is the one thing no one is really talking about.

The West is loaded with guards and wings.

I’ve missed watching his smooth delivery of ball to basket. Hope his body holds up. Fun as hell to watch when he’s on fire.

Watched his 37 point quarter this morning. Warriors will be tough to beat if he returns anywhere close to what he was. Those GS teams pre-Durant were fun to watch at the start of the current dynasty.

I meant just the demand of the game in general. He’s also known as a lockdown defender which two major surgeries can impact.

Good to see him back. Greatest “3 and D” player in the league history.

I mean they were the team that won 73 games and then added a top 20 player of all time. So yea. Legendary might be an understatement

Man scored 60 on 11 dribbles in just over 3 quarters. Might be the wildest performance I’ve ever seen.

Quite true. And imagine they’re not thru yet Maybe Klay comes back and they win another couple, who knows? What we’ve seen so far could just be the pre-Jordan retirement version of the Bulls, before they did it again.

Klay to play in 4-5 minute bursts. I wonder if he's gonna whine about it and let it completely ruin his relationship with the organization. I'm not bitter at all!

Draymond and his "I wanna start with my bro"...and taking himself out of the game was a nothing more than an overly dramatic publicity stunt.
