^ Klay is one of my favorite players and this is some huge news. Klay returning will give huge morale and also a performance boost to GSW. Klay is one of the best 3 point shooters who will play alongside another big 3 point shooter- Curry. Their duo is insane. If Klay can return early enough and can get back to his good form, there is no one stopping GSW from winning the title.
I think many fans want to see the Splash Brothers in action again as soon as possible. However, the Warriors still don't allow Klay Thompson to practice at full strength even though he looks healthy in that video. The Warriors management and medical staff should be 100 percent sure that Klay does not get injured a third time after returning.
Many are excited to say how good Klay right now during the rehabilitation process he have been through and hope that it wouldn't be an upset to those who waits for him. The Warriors are in a current good standing and if by chance Klay plays this December I think that will be a good addition.  Well, whatever they prepared for, injuries are uncertain and they can't prevent it, it should be Klay who would take good care of his health.

Everyone is really excited how will Klay be in his comeback, Durant's comeback last year was pretty awesome, as if he didn't have the injury, and hopefully we wanted to see the old Klay, catch and shoot 3's, moving without the ball, playing good defense.

But before we can see him on the court, GSW will needs to make sure that he is healthy because that is really a devastating injury and wanted that no stones are left un turn, 100% healthy for him or no play.

Whoa! Are they training him to be one of the big guys who can shoot threes? Brook Lopez or Nikola Jokic type of basketball?
Quite impressive numbers for Myles Turner, but I'm not sure, he was a defensive player right? And now he shoots three? Maybe he was trained to be the next big guy that can shoot from outside,
Everybody wants to shoot threes now. It's just how the league and the game has evolved. It's pretty late for training him to shoot there since this started years back but I guess better late than never and he's still young. I hope he doesn't become lazy on the inside just because he could shoot outside.

JP3 already had the potential, he just really needed to improve his decision making, I actually like how Curry and Draymond are to the young guys, not putting any pressure and hyping them up, I like how Curry doesn't use his accolades as something to put pressure on his teammates, JP3 could potentially be the next all-star for GSW, let's not forget the high school star rookies, Moody and Kuminga.
Impressive for sure.  Wiseman is coming back soon and I saw Klay putting up shots today...  The Warriors might end up being much better than I've given them credit for.  If Wiseman has continued to develop from last year and Klay comes back close to his normal self, they might be a #3 seed in the west.  I also read an interesting rumor that Dame has been trying hard to force Blazers management into a trade for Draymond Green.  No idea why Dame thinks Draymond is the missing piece the Blazers need, but it seems like that's the rumor being pushed at the moment.  No idea how that trade would look.
Curry - Klay - Dray- Poole- Wiseman. That is not a bad team at all, they have wiggins as well and it will probably be Curry-Wiggins-Klay-Dray-Wiseman when he returns, so far Poole right now when Wiseman is gone. All in all they are a great team, they won 2015 without Durant and many people keep forgetting that, they had a 73-9 season as well without Durant, and yes they lost on the last game of the finals and that is why people do not talk about that season but they broke the winning record that season.

I have to say that Warriors without Durant proved that they are great team beforehand and they are back at it again, it is not a shock that they would be great this season again, it is not really "that" different from 2015 championship season.

I saw the video of Klay shooting and he still has that stroke.
I feel like he will be able to come back earlier than expected, it was reported that he might be able to come back by December this year but seems like he looks healthy already and he has that lift already. I know the medical team of the GSW won't give a clearance if he is not fully fit to play, so if he comes back soon, let's hope that he will be healthy throughout the season.
What will other teams will do if they will see GSW that has a healthy Klay Thompson and a healthy James Wiseman?
You got Curry and Thompson as their three-point leaders and most of them are shooting threes and are very good too. Lee, Porter, Bjelica, Poole, Wiggins, Anderson and even Green is shooting as well. At the same time, they have a good paint defender. Bjelica, Wiseman, Looney.
The Warriors will go to at least WCF as long as the injuries will not spoil their journey. They are now 6-1 and Thompson isn't playing right now. What if he comes back. I'm so excited with his comeback and knowing that his stroke is still there and we've seen some videos of him practicing, I'm pretty sure that he is excited to play as well after not playing for 2 straight years.

If Klay can return early enough and can get back to his good form, there is no one stopping GSW from winning the title.
With the way GSW is playing right now, having a healthy Klay will add more damage,
the outside arc will be full of shooters who have a higher percentage to make the shots.

I'm also excited to see the best duo from the rainbow arc to play alongside again,
splash bro changes the way how basketball works, no longer the strong will to attack the
basket but instead, attacking you from the outside and keep on running to around to allure
every defender who will try to stop them.

GSW is again starting to come back with their old form,
very competitive and got a good chance to chase the world title.

Watched the game between GSW vs Hornets and I was literally blown away by the team chemistry of the former. During the whole game, it slightly reminded me of Spurs basketball in 2014 where they were so liquid in their passes. Like every player stepped-up especially Jordan Poole and his confidence in his shooting. If Klay and Wiseman were to come back, they will surely be a threat to every team.

In addition, the Nets played so well earlier considering that James Harden made 10+ assists. He showed his playmaking and unselfishness on the court with his IQ and vision. When he needs to score (especially on the 3rd quarter where they were tied 75-75), he will step-up and assist Durant!

Yep they look like it's mid season right now they are going to be a real tough out.  With that being said knicks second game in a row that they look tired.  Thibs never goes more than 9 or so deep but I think it's time we get some of the end of the bench some run out there.  Even for 3 or 4 minutes to mix up the game and the other teams defense.  I'd like to see quentin grimes get some time.  He is deadly from beyond the arc and plays hard defense, same with duece.

This guy. Gary Payton II. You could see his future even if you have blurry eyes.  Grin He sure does stole that show of Curry who only made 15 points the whole game. Payton II made 14 but very important ones and the biggest help of all, the defense. 3 steals and one of them will be surely added on the highlights against LaMelo.
The other highlight will be his poster against Kelly Oubre Jr.  Cheesy That's sick! and he is just 6'3.

Yes, simply amazing, the kind of system where Kerr really facilitates well the learning that he got from coach Pop.

They keep on moving and they throwing passes that you'll never think it will go thru, the chemistry and the confidence of each player

inside the floor are really producing. Poole, Lee with Wiggins and Payton II all are playing so well.

KD towers the offense but Harden really helps a lot, that numbers of assist simply shows the adjustment from scoring machine to a playmaker.

Great game and chemistries are really developing, they just need to continue and be more persistent with the way they play the game.

It's not yet late to put a bet on the GSW to win the championship this season. I really have a feeling that they'll surprise the teams that are in the top favorites to win, with the way the GSW are playing now, looks like they don't need somebody to help them, but of course, the warriors are better when the Splash brothers are back.

Their roosters besides their star players can also lift the team to win the games what more if Klay Thompson will play again this year and rumors that he will be playing this December. every GSW fan has been waiting to see back their lovely duos that will bury back-to-back threes to bury their opponents with points. It's been a long time since we saw GSW score like that with Klay. It's been good news from his side while he is practicing he managed to do those things when he was healthy.

As far as I can see, the teams that have made the best starts are Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz. All of them have played 7 games so far and won 6 of them. Miami Heat seem to be the best in terms of statistics now as they have a quite big point average. But the team that I'm proud of their performance the most now are absolutely Chicago Bulls.  Grin  Because after so many years, they finally have made the right choices for their roster and they are having a superb season now.

Miami Heat has made it in the finals like 2 seasons ago. While the Utah Jazz was the top team in the West last year, so I would say it is expected of them to be good this season.

But the biggest surprised is still the Bulls, they have ensemble a good team this year to help Zach Lavine and it really pays off big time for them as there on the top now.

Remember that DeRozan is a superstar too, he has good seasons with the Toronto Raptors before he was traded to the Spurs for Kawhil Leonard. People maybe forget how good he was because Leonard when traded won a championship but the Spurs tank when DeRozan was with them as their leader.

Now, it seems like DeRozan has finally found his home where he can play good basketball in a new environment and I can tell he is loving it with his production that we are seeing now.

His PPG average with spurs is 21.6, now with bulls it's up to 25.6

I agree DeRozan is good, he has been an All-Star as well, but what separates him from Kawhi is that he didn't bring any championship for Toronto despite his all around game. And so he was traded with the Spurs, having a so-so performance and now with the Bulls he has been performing another All-Star caliber season. Although it's been a tough lost against the Sixers today.

I thought DeRozan's career is not exciting anymore because he wasn't that effective with the San Antonio Spurs, but now that he was traded, we saw how good he is and with the right teammates, the new look Chicago Bulls has become a playoffs contender.

First, they get Nikola Vucevic, they improved a bit, now they got DeRozan, they become a certified playoff team.
I'll claim it now as I believe they'll make it this season.

Big test for the Knicks tonight.  Gonna play a tough Pacers team on the Pacers home turf.  Knicks took an ugly loss at home the other night I expect them to bounce back.  Also looking forward to the golden state game as well that should be a good late night game as well.  Used to hate watching stepb play but I respect his game.  Dude is tough.
Pacers is really tough, I was also expecting the Knicks to win it but sadly, they can't get the W.
Myles Turner is the player of the game. 29 minutes with 25 points and most of it came from downtown. 7/10 at the 3 point line. Whoa! Are they training him to be one of the big guys who can shoot threes? Brook Lopez or Nikola Jokic type of basketball? Pacers will definitely be stronger if this guy can master his outside shots and it can stretch the floor for LeVert's inside attacks.
Quite impressive numbers for Myles Turner, but I'm not sure, he was a defensive player right? And now he shoots three? Maybe he was trained to be the next big guy that can shoot from outside, or it that the game was wide open and require him to shot those open shots. Yeah, I know, Pacers are really tough, that's why the Knicks are the underdogs when the betting line opens yesterday and up to the game itself.

Look at the warriors, they keep rolling with another big win against Charlotte.

I watched the game and was thinking that Charlotte could pull an upset as they get close in the 4th quarter, but too unfortunate for them as that was a short-lived chance because the warriors did not allow them, and the warriors made a big run to finish the game.

Jordan Poole made 31 points, I think that was spectacular, it's not all about Curry alone, this Warriors players are trusting each other, even the young guns are contributing. Warriors are now 6-1 tied with Utah Jazz who is at the number 1 spot.
