Warriors: Holy. Crap. Thompson.

[weebo]

This whole " peaking too soon" is hilarious. The pacers of last year peaked too soon. Living and dying by Paul George's inefficient jumpshot. The dubs and Hawks are just having great seasons. We're the 72-10 Bulls peaking too soon, too?

GS and ATL are playing great this season for sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and compare them to the 95-96 Bulls.

bringing up one team amongst all the others that blew their load before the ASB

nah son. sure he may win but to use the term "eat alive" is underrating Green pretty badly.

to think that Klay Thompson only "may win" in a game of 1 on 1 against Danny Green (a player that Klay is better than in basically every aspect of basketball) is overrating Green pretty badly.

[DAF86]

I think he certainly has a place in the NBA, and will consistently be a solid role player, but that's about it. Nothing wrong with that though. I'd say more of a Shane Battier, Tony Allen type of player. Mostly defense, capable of putting up some points when his team needs him to, but not necessarily a scorer.

Shut the up.

yeah, sure buddy

Magic Dubbed Klay Thompson the Best All-Around Player in the NBA Alongside Lebron...

Is it time to take away his social media privileges? Y/Y/AIDS

[phxspurfan]

Enjoy your January peak, Warriors

[DMC]

But why doesn't Green fit with the Warriors?

They need a bigger presence at his position during the playoffs. They are a playoff team with or without him.

yet if the spurs were to cut ties with DG tomorrow that got ass mavs would swoon in for sloppy seconds in a heartbeat

[Proxy]

Badass performance by Thompson... but DG hits his 3s in the playoffs. When it matters.

[Spurs9]

If Klay gets that hot in a critical playoff team, how do you stop him?

[Venti Quattro]

Danny Green is a great system player, I'll give him that. But Klay Thompson is miles better and it's not even close

- Klay Thompson is playing in his first ASG in a couple of weeks
- Klay Thompson didn't get cut and did not bounce in and out of the league before finding a system that tailor-fits his game
- Klay Thompson is part of Murcahn representation in FIBA compe ions

Sure, Danny Green has two finals trips and one championship, but if you exchange Green and Klay right now, San Antonio might be the 35-6 team while GSW will be worse off. why are we even discussing this? If Klay was the one in place of Green and he was the one who went 13-13 in a quarter, the semen cloud would be unbearable.

Pop's Genius and the Spurs system is a work of art but if you put Klay and Danny Green one-on-one, I'm never going to bet on Danny Green. He will have nowhere to run against Klay Thompson.

[apalisoc_9]

Of course Klay Thompson is a better player than Danny Green, there's no denying that, but the argument is whether you would take Green at 9 million over Thompson at 17 mil, which is a no-brainer in Green's favor..everybody is a prisoner of the moment and falling in love with a well-liked player(playing on the most beloved team in the NBA, maybe in sports) that had a historically hot quarter against one of the worst teams in the NBA..

Klay Thompson playoff numbers:

2012-2013: 10.1 PER(), 51.5% TS, #7 in Golden State's playoff rotation in On/Off metrics, #7 in Win Shares, 83% of his shots were assisted

2013-2014: 12 PER, 53% TS, #6 in GS's playoff rotation in On/Off, #5 in Win Shares, 75% of his shots were assisted


Danny Green playoff numbers:

2012-2013: 15.2, 60.5% TS, #2 in San Antonio's playoff rotation in On/Off metrics, #4 in Win Shares, 86% of his shots were assisted

2013-2014: 16.5, 65% TS(), #3 in San Antonio's playoff rotation in On/Off metrics, #5 in Win Shares, 83% of his shots were assisted



NBA fans love to overrate playoff chokers, tbh..the past 2 years, see: Klay Thompson, John Wall, Joakim Noah, etc..




Anybody that compares Klay Thompson to Harden is a ing imbecile, too..they aren't even in the same stratosphere..

Dude take it easy on him..

Who said Green is a bad basketball player? He has a specific set of skills that are useful to most teams. But it doesn't mean he has a chance at beating Klay Thompson in a game of 1 on 1, when Klay is bigger, stronger, more athletic, a better shooter, better scorer, better post up player, better defender, and better ball handler.

also, this is seriously the most typical gnsf response that could have been given. like you proved absolutely nothing in this reply, in regards to the discussion at hand. the only thing you proved is how much of a got you are, which everyone here already pretty much knew.

great job

Not a troll attempt when everyone else also doesn't take you seriously(ex. the nfl forum). tiest takes i've ever seen...your post makes Avante's look intelligent.

Maybe you should try looking at the you post and proof read them three times before hitting that submit button.

You're still trying to convince people Klay is the second coming? Take a break . Not gonna happen.

i was just telling someone that klay and harden are 1a and 1b at the SG right now and then this happened

That was absolutely ridiculous first of all, never seen someone get hot like that .

But, Harden is the primary playmaker on the team and the focus of the entire defense...the team outside of him and maybe Dmo sucks balls. Watch those clips and you see that Klay is basically playing like Korver, catch and shoot, plays orchestrated by others on offense. Also, when people bring up defense...well...who do you think has more energy to exert on the other side of the floor given what said. Switch the two guys and the rockets are a lottery team.

Thompson only creates 30% of his own offense, compared to Harden's 75%..Thompson is limited in creating for others, while Harden is very good..it's a ridiculous comparison of a peripheral player like Thompson that lives off Curry and a stacked team, to Harden, an Alpha carrying an average cast led by a ty coach..

It's like comparing Peja Stojakovic to Tracy McGrady, tbh..

Yup, but to m>s's defense, the 2 is at a historically weak level. As much as we hated on Kobe he was clearly a level above all the guys we've seen after him.

[m>s]

To be clear Thompson is 1B but he should be the leagues most improved player this year by far

[Malik Hairston]

Klay Thompson might be the 2nd best SG in the NBA(not too many others in the discussion..Jimmy Butler, Wade and Monta Ellis?), it's arguable, but I'm just saying, he's nowhere near Harden IMO..

The SG position is the same as the C position in the early 2000s, there's 1 guy at the top, followed by distant runner-ups that wouldn't be in the conversation in strong years..

[Venti Quattro]

I've watched the highlight reel over and over again and damn it still gives me some goosebumps. Whatever you think of Klay Thompson, that was the best shooting display of any NBA player in a quarter...
