Klay Thompson ends his media session with a statement:
‘There’s a report out there – I have no intention of retiring in 2024. If you write some dumb s–t like that, be held accountable. That’s crazy. Just bc I didn’t play 5on5 doesn’t mean I’m gonna retire. That is absurd.’ – 5:36 PM

The Warriors closed with the Curry, Poole, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond lineup in the first half the other night. It’s a five-man group you’ll see plenty in high leverage moments.

Klay: “Give Coach Jackson a lot of credit, he saw that potential in me and Steph when we were young… And give KD a lot of credit, we wouldn’t have 4 without him. He helped us get two of those things.”

Klay just doesn’t hit those dagger-like 3s nearly as much. Crowd-ready-to-erupt bombs. Biggest difference I’ve noticed since the return from the injury. – 11:52 PM

Four pinpoint passes from Jordan Poole in the last couple minutes. Two tight window bounce passes for Curry and Draymond layups, two transition finds for Curry/Klay wide open 3s (misses). Gaining a bit more on-ball freedom this season, regardless of lineup. – 11:42 PM

Klay Thompson on this possibly being Draymond Green’s last season w/ Warriors: “I don’t want to believe that, but Draymond has a player option next year. You never know what happens.

More on this storyline
Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr said he expects Klay Thompson and Draymond Green should have their minute restriction lifted to a normal regular season level within a couple weeks. Klay was at 20 in opener, Draymond 25. Maybe a gradual bump Friday vs Nuggets. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / October 20, 2022
Marc J. Spears: Kings head coach Mike Brown said he learned a lot from Kerr, Curry, Green, Klay, Iguodala and Livingston during his time with the Warriors. -via Twitter @MarcJSpears / October 19, 2022
During Lakers vs. Warriors postgame, Charles Barkley told Klay Thompson that he believes lack of body movement is the reason why so many other NBA teams fail at copying Golden State’s playing style. (Via NBA on TNT): “I do think that these teams are trying to play like the Warriors, but me and Kenny know this all the time, the biggest difference is all these other idiots are out here shooting threes and jacking them up. But y’all are the only team that actually has body movement, because these other teams, they end up shooting the three contested. You guys are the best at moving without the ball I’ve seen in a long time.” -via TalkBasket / October 19, 2022
