Right now, finding fault with the Warriors feels tantamount to whining about the damaged toes of Michelangelo's David. They’ve been fantastic through five games, historically great even. At the same time, while this team may be great, it isn’t perfect. As winning often does, it’s obscured some flaws -- most notably, Klay Thompson's slow start.
If not for Stephen Curry's historic scoring barrage, if not for the plus-20.8 point differential, we might be talking about Thompson. Simply put, he hasn’t been himself to start the season.
This is in stark contrast to how last season unfolded, when Thompson started off incandescent from preseason on.
