The Golden State Warriors are looking to close out the Denver Nuggets in their first round playoff series Wednesday night. Warriors superstar shooting guard Klay Thompson was seen arriving Oakland Arena in a very peculiar, but laid back way.

Thompson rolls up, literally, on a bicycle. He is obviously feeling pretty comfortable and for good reason. The Warriors have been playing great this series and have looked like the Warriors of old. But beyond that, Thompson himself have been lighting it up.

The Warriors' Splash Brother has hit 21 three-p0inters over the first four games of this series, including 13 over the last two. The Nuggets narrowly escaped a sweep, winning Game 4 in a closely contested battle. But now the series heads back to Golden State.
Unlike the early years of the Warriors dynasty, which had Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson as the elite shooters, now they might have found another. The emergence of Jordan Poole this season, and particularly in the playoffs, makes them that much more dangerous.
Draymond Green is still the orchestrator and arguably the glue of the team. But Thompson adds an element that was missing for nearly two years as he missed over two years. He suffered a torn hamstring initially, and then as he was ready to come back from that, he tore his achilles.
It's been a long process, and did not really look like himself for much of the regular season for the Warriors. But so far in the postseason, Thompson is looking better and better. That's great news for Golden State fans and bad news for the rest of the NBA.
