But yeah, you got me on a string, big dawg. Put another tally in your win column.![]()

On a string.
The thing with Klay is, it's similar to when Curry first came on to the scene. In 2015 Curry was averaging less points than Westbrook, D Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Harden at 23.8 a game. Curry wasn't slashing through the lane like Westbrook or Harden, and you could argue that those two had more offensive skills than Curry, but it was the general consensus that because of how explosive Curry's scoring was and how great of shooter he was that he was better than those guys(some people debated this, I know).
its the same with Klay on smaller scale. No, he's not the best scorer in the league, but he's better than a lot of guys. His range is almost as far as Currys, and his release is almost just as quick. An open shot for him is not an open shot for Kawhi or almost anyone else in the league. And say what you will, but he's solid enough in other areas like shooting off the dribble and driving to say it's definitely not a weakness.
Yessir. Bullying me in the paint!
Klay is the best 2-way player since Mamba only an idiot would disagree
Klay is an improved version of Josh Howard, tbh.
not sure I understand DMC stance on this one tbh
One thing is sure is when you read all the back and forth you have the feeling that one side thinks Klay is some sort of Michael Jordan and GSW best playerand from the other side that Klay is some sort of rich man's Red which is almost as silly.
Then you have the tons of unfairness like Klay is only good because the attention of the defense focused on Steph and Durant. Truth is, no team properly managed would go let's stop durant and curry and let klay do his stuff, nobody is doing that tbh... Also not sure why using % assisted is some sort of negatives, again that's silly, the team works to get his scorers open, Klay is part of the team. To score like that and having this % of shots assisted means you know how to play off the ball and playing off the ball is yes a competence when you evaluate an offensive player.
Don't get me wrong tho DMC stuff is just plain stupid, Klay is GSW dude and clearly better offensive player than Kawhi but the anti-klays are sometimes over the top too with the overrated, glorified red , not even top 20 stuff tbh
I'd keep my kawhi offensively without thinking too much over klay but let's not act like klay is some sort of scrub
finally djohn should stick to his brilliant troll MJ tbh... not sure what's wrong with him lately![]()
Red would average 25 ppg in GS tbh
sure and it is even selling Red short tbh... IMO also Kyle Anderson would be an easy 20 pts 6 assists pg tbf
This. Good to see you aren't a homer like some of these other nigs.
I'd love to have Klay Thompson on my team, despite his tendency to under-perform in the playoffs, tbh..it's always great to have players that can be effective without the ball, especially if they aren't a liability on defense..
However, I don't see how he can be compared to players that carry their teams..for example, if you put him on the Spurs instead of Kawhi, they wouldn't have a single player that could consistently create a shot in the halfcourt..it would be painful to watch..
From what I remember of the 90s, his offensive game reminds me of Glen Rice(somebody that remembers those days more vividly could correct me, though)..
scrah, league has changed, everybody volume shooting from 3 now... a shooter like Kerr would be a premium intoday's NBA...
He's more like Allan Houston who was also light skin beta & had a tendency to disappear, Rice was a bonafide alpha.
Glen rice created a lot of shots. Reminds me more of Dell curry.
Put Klay on the Spurs and he wouldn't be able to do the things that Kawhi does, but it's the same vice verse. Both of their respective teams play to their strengths.I would take Kawhi for the Spurs 10/10, and I would take Klay for the Warriors 10/10. Doesn't take anything away from either player imo
We'll have to wait and see if Kawhi's brand of offense can generate games like this in the playoffs.
I'd take KL on the Warriors over Klay if for no other reason than defense. Oakland has elite scoring even without Klay, but to have the best two perimeter defenders in the game on the same team? That could be the end of the NBA. Klay isn't in the same league overall as Leonard, but that's because KL is so good at defense and good enough at offense to dwarf Klay overall.
Klaynus' brand of offense has done it once. Just like he's scored 60 once.
What is it with idiots and their fascination for career highs? It's like all the other games become irrelevant bche scored 60
.
What about if you swapped Danny Green with Klay Thompson in the playoffs?
Getting locked up by washed up Tony Allen who outscored him while making more 3s.![]()
Three terrible games in a row now...
Inconsistent even with Curry and Durant providng that much spacing.
