Asking DNHQ: How are you feeling about Klay right now?

The Golden State Warriors lost a back-and-forth contest with the Atlanta Hawks, 121-110.
Klay Thompson put up a stellar statline in 40 minutes (!) of play, his most since returning from his ACL and Achilles’ injuries. He tallied 37 points, on 14-of-26 shooting from the field, 9-of-16 from beyond the arc, with 7 rebounds and 3 assists and a block.
Klay Thompson called his 40-minute night a “huge milestone” in his return. He also explains why he sensed a big personal night was coming.
Now y’all know I love capturing moments in time of fan opinion. What do you expect from Klay in the playoffs? And does anyone believe he should come off the pine as a reserve?
Missed last night's game, and it sounds like one of his best of the year -- at least that's a LOT of points. But I've been concerned about Klay forcing things by dribbling, driving, and taking too many tough shots. If he reverts to run off screens, catch and shoot Klay, I'll breathe a sigh of relief.
I do think he needs to mesh better with Poole and Wiggins.
Mavericks vs. Jazz tomorrow. Who do we want to root for? I'll go with Jazz. They've got a harder schedule remaining compared to the Mavericks, so it'll be harder for them to keep the #4 spot.
