Game 4 shows the 2022 NBA Finals are far from over

Brandon King

The NBA Finals are now a best-of-three series after the Golden State Warriors got what amounted to a must win 107-97 win in Game 4. Powered by Stephen Curry’s 43 points the Golden State got the split, reclaimed the home court and tied theories at 2 games apiece. The Warriors needed everyone of those 43 points because though Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins chipped in 18 and 17 points respectively, they did so at a less than optimal rate, shooting a combined 14-34 from the floor, including 6-16 from downtown;…

Brandon King

Since their defeat in the 2019 NBA Finals at the hands of Kawhi Leonard, their quest to reascend to the summit of the NBA’s Mount Olympus has been hampered by injuries. Whether is was Stephen Curry being limited to only five games in 2019-20 or Klay Thompson missing the last two seasons with ACL and Achilles tears, the Warriors team that has been on the floor has had little resemblance of the team we saw competing for an winning three championships over a five-year span.

Brandon King

When Klay Thompson tore his Achilles’ tendon shortly before this season , there was not only a sigh of disappointment around the Warrior nation but also around the league as well.

Brandon King

When he tore his ACL, Klay Thompson became the latest member of the M.A.S.H. Unit that the Golden State Warriors morphed into during last year’s NBA Finals.

Brandon King

Thompson suffering a torn ACL in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and will likely be out for most, if not all of next season, did not deter the Warriors from offering Klay the max. Even before free agency officially opened, the franchise offered Thompson a max deal- a deal he accepted on the spot. This past season Thompson averaged 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists…
