NBA Game 1 overreactions: Klay Thompson is back, Mikal Bridges' shot is broken, Jonathan Kuminga stinks

A ridiculously early article for the troves of ridiculously emotional fans out there

Let's get this out of the way upfront: This is a ridiculous article to write. And yet, there are a lot of ridiculous NBA fans out there, and it is these ridiculous fans who love to overreact to what they see in season-opening games. 

It's understandable. They've been waiting all offseason to see their team and favorite players play, and the season openers feel like they have an outsized importance with all the energy and attention that surround the start of a new campaign. 

Nevertheless, these observations almost always qualify as extreme overreactions. Sometimes they end up being right over a longer sample, but we need to allow enough time to make at least somewhat reasonable assessments.
