1. Klay Thompson needs to get going
While the Warriors were able to win big in game two, they still need to get their second-best scorer, Klay Thompson going. Thompson has not looked like himself so far in the Finals and he needs to start making shots. His 10-33 shooting from the field and 4-15 from three are not going to cut it for the Dubs.
Thompson has played great in big games before, so he should turn it around sooner than later. But, so much of the offense scoring load is on Curry that Thompson will need to help out. The non-Curry minutes are what could become a problem for the Warriors if they can not find a consistent second-scoring option.
“I need to make more shots. I need to take more shots. Need to get more stops. And I need to just be myself.”

One thing I know about Thompson is that he is resilient, he understands he needs to play better and I expect to have a breakout game coming soon. The Warriors would love to be up 2-0 but to have the series tied at one and Thompson not playing anywhere near his highest level should be a good sign for them moving forward.
