Klay Thompson regret at leaving Warriors vanishes after stunning Draft Lottery

2 days ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

A wild change in fortune... After a season in which Luka Doncic was traded and Kyrie Irving suffered a devastating ACL injury, you could understand if Klay Thompson had some regret in his decision to leave the Golden State Warriors for the Dallas Mavericks. Yet in a remarkably shocking result that may only be matched by the Doncic trade, any Thompson regret has likely vanished with the Mavericks winning the NBA Draft Lottery and the rights to future star Cooper Flagg.

What do Golden State do this offseason? The NBA Draft Lottery has been run and won by the Dallas Mavericks in shocking fashion on Monday night, though the Golden State Warriors are far more focused on the upcoming Game 4 of their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While a host of lottery-based teams are looking towards their future, the Warriors are still firmly about the present.

It comes after JK's huge performance in Game 3Thanks to an extraordinary 30-point outing in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, Jonathan Kuminga's future has taken another turn as the Golden State Warriors prepare to deal with his restricted free agency this offseason. Kuminga's value had seemingly plummeted thanks to his recent axing from Steve Kerr's rotation, but his startling performance on Saturday could in itself be enough to earn him a lot of money this summer.

Turnovers - not fouls - were Draymond's fault on Saturday... Draymond Green was once again a controversial talking point from the Golden State Warriors' Game 3 defeat on Saturday, having fouled out with nearly five minutes to play as the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves claimed a 102-97 victory.

Game 4 becomes an absolute must win!A playoff career-high from Jonathan Kuminga and 63 combined points from he and Jimmy Butler hasn't been enough for the Golden State Warriors, with the Minnesota Timberwolves claiming a 102-97 Game 3 victory at Chase Center to take a 2-1 series lead. Kuminga backed up a positive performance in Game 2 with arguably the best outing of his entire career, going for 30 points without Stephen Curry as the Warriors held a five-point lead in the fourth-quarter.
Warriors have no one to blame but themselves if these bold rotation moves fail

It's a risk Golden State need to take... Stephen Curry's hamstring injury has caused chaos in the Golden State Warriors rotation, with Game 2 almost becoming an experimental outing for Steve Kerr to see what he has moving forward in the series. The biggest result for the Warriors on Thursday -- outside the loss itself -- was the positive form of Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Draymond Green is perilously close to costing Warriors in worst possible way

Golden State can't afford this... Draymond Green has always been at his best when playing with physicality and a high intensity, but those same elements have cost the Golden State Warriors when the veteran forward has crossed the line into non-basketball acts. Having missed playoff games previously due to suspensions -- most famously in the 2016 NBA Finals -- Green is again perilously close to hurting the Warriors at a time they can least afford.
Warriors have a Jimmy Butler problem that may seal their playoff fate

Golden State need 'Playoff Jimmy' to arrive... The Golden State Warriors offense was always going to run into problems with Stephen Curry on the sidelines, with that proving exactly the case in a 117-93 Game 2 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. With no player scoring more than Jonathan Kuminga's 18 points, fans were left a little frustrated at the output of Jimmy Butler who didn't exactly deliver without his fellow star available.

Strong signs from JK!The Golden State Warriors may have suffered a Game 2 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Thursday, but the production of young duo Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis at least inspired some positives from the 117-93 loss. Kuminga delivered his best performance for a while, having hit the 18-point mark for just the third time since his return from a long-term ankle injury on March 13.
Warriors make important discovery but pay price for initial mistake in Game 2

6 days ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

1-1 heading back to the Bay... The decision to start Quinten Post in Stephen Curry's absence backfired for the Golden State Warriors at the start of Game 2, with the visitors paying the price for a slow start in a 117-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Thursday. The Timberwolves started on a 13-0 run and Post wasn't seen again after the opening minutes, but on the positive side the Warriors did make a pleasant and surprise rotation discovery on a pair of young players.
