TS% factors in free throws which helped overall TS%. I haven't even looked at the raw numbers, but from what I remember, Curry was bricking a good chunk of his shot attempts while Klay seemed like he was hitting everything.

Thank you for this thread. It gives me the opportunity it expand on the lie that we are all struggling. Here's a stat for you: That isn't the top 10%. That is the bottom 50%. Who's wealth has about 20x since the 2010 when they were actually struggling. But enough of stats right? Because ALL the stats are lies right? The Biden admin...

Oh come on…

even i was mad at the grant hill trade initially, seemed like the suns were the junkyard of the nba where old players went to walk into the sunsent aka retirement, but yeah grant hill basically revived his career in PHX, his middie was so fcking beautiful. helps that the suns had the best athletic trainer at the time, he brought back grant hill's...

yeah his stay there as a GM sucked ass, but he's on public record admitting he took the idea of their offense and used it as a base for the golden state offense which revolutionized the game as we know it today.

Cant quit me

It's pretty much impossible to be bricking everything when youre averaging 31/6/5 on Curry's volume. Those are like... late 90s MJ numbers. And Torontos defense was super elite keyed in on him.

Curry had a 60% TS for the series averaging 30/6/5. He was 54-57 from the foul line.

Steph is nowhere near as good as prime Malone right now. A normal season for Malone is All NBA 1st, top 3-5 MVP voting. Curry won't be first team all nba and certainly not in the MVP convo. It's possible Curry is not All-NBA actually, if not probable.

Meltdown

It’s impressive tpols is able to use a computer given how stupid he is ngl

Hield has been good, though, since college? Klay is better, but it's not a huge drop off. Maybe on D? He isn't getting you 40 in one quarter or whatever Klay did, but he is a legit star. It's amazing they got him, but I guess he is old now. Klay was never an all nba guy imo, but the value of a true 3 and D role player is super high. There...

From what I remember Curry was bricking everything in that series. Klay would have easily won FMVP that year if he didn't get injured and the Warriors won.

He never missed games and played both ends of the floor so most of those mentioned are laughable. Imagine karl and load management :roll:

It was a mistake to trade Marion for Shaq, but Marion was already declining as a player a bit so it wasn't a huge fvck up. Should have traded Marion for someone besides Shaq. The worst thing he did was not working things out with D'antoni, I don't think Mike D liked where the team was going so he basically ditched them. The perception at that time...

Curry averaged 31/6/5 on 41/34/95 splits in the 2019 NBA Finals. Not the best series of his career but still... pretty damn good. Klay did show up in that series but he couldn't finish it due to injury... so that counts. It's unfortunate but it's the way it went.

He was the best player for the Warriors in the '19 Finals up until he got injured while Curry was stinking it up.

It's not really that far fetched when you look at the actual production. Klay simply didn't show up a lot in the playoffs when the warriors really needed him outside of the 2016 WCFs. Shit the bed in the 2015 Finals and needed Iggy to replace his impact, shit the bed in the 2016 Finals and if he even shot just slightly below average they'd...

Kerr literally killed the Nash era Suns. He traded for Shaq, ran Mike D out of town, and hired Terry Porter to slow down the Suns and run a set offense. Lmao. Kerr doesn’t get enough shit for how terrible of a GM he actually was. Like absolutely horrendous. Plus he’s good friends with a dude like Bob Sarver. In fact Kerr actually publicly...

Said without the slightest bit of irony :lol And OP is CLEARLY talking about Klay on the title winning teams, you constantly misinterpret things.

Him benching Draymond is eye opening dumb. Just terrible decision making to bench your best big so the likes of...Jonathan Kuminga can be optimized? What? Optimize...Stephen...Curry. Optimizing this average wing is ridiculous.

I doubt OP was referring to the current Klay who the Ws let walk for nothing.

Giannis is playing with such little substance to his game. There is no way he's better than Malone's best right now. Giannis is a one-way player this year who is useless offensively if he isn't playing running back to the rim. Luka is iffy but I'll give it. Jokic, SGA, Luka. Only definite guys. Tatum is not this good. I truly believe he'll...

Also im pretty effing sure the point of this thread was the alltime great version of klay could be replaced by anyone decent. And it's definitely not truth. You're reduced to comparing washed up Klay to a younger "prime" player. Sad.

Is it really? The premise op presented has quickly soured.

:biggums:

Quite a few are better from the perspective of what you would want him to do as a modern center(which he’d likely be). But that isn’t the same as being better. He might be of less use to the current Celtics than a healthy Porzingis, but he’s better at basketball. The best aspects of his defense, were his one on one post defense and his...

For the season, Buddy Hield is averaging 14 ppg on 45% FG and 42% 3pt. Klay is averaging 13 ppg on 38% FG and 37% 3pt. :biggums: It's honestly amazing how you guys just disregard and distort reality.
