Will The Splash Brothers Be The Same Next Season?
The Splash Brothers and the Warriors were not the same team during the 2019-20 season. Klay Thompson missed the whole season with an ACL tear and Stephen Curry played just 5 games all season. With both of them returning this upcoming season, what can we expect from the Splash Bros?
We already know how good the Splash Brother can be. They were great shooters before the dynasty, but after getting Steve Kerr as a head coach they blossomed into the two best shooters in the game. Curry became a 2x MVP with all of his off-ball movement and uncanny ability to shoot from anywhere. Thompson was a catch-and-shoot machine, able to catch fire at any moment. These two won a title in 2015, and then two more in 2017 and 2018. These two have nothing left to prove. But how good can they be going forward?
I have do doubts that Curry will be fine with time. Curry actually returned in early March before the season was postponed, so Curry has had a long time to get back into game form. I think that he’ll be back to him old self barring any other injuries.
Thompson is a bit touch-and-go, although I think he’s fine. ACL injuries are no joke, but Thompson doesn’t necessarily need that much athleticism for his game. I still expect the same shooter that we had before the injury, but I don’t know if he will be the same prime Klay Thompson.
These two have never had any chemistry problems under Steve Kerr, and these guys know this system to a T. I think that they will hit the ground running in 2020 and they will again be a playoff team. There is no doubt in my mind that the Splash Brother will again torment teams with their shooting, absolutely obliterating everybody in their path.
So in short, the Splash Brother should be fine. Curry has had a long time to recover from his hand injury, and I think that he’ll go back to the Steph we all know and love. Thompson likely won’t be the same player because of the injury he sustained in the 2019 Finals, but he will still be a solid player for a playoff team in Golden State next year.
