Klay Thompson sets NBA record with 37 Points in a Quarter

Video: Klay Thompson 37 points in one quarter (http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=17135)

[Done_And_Done]

It'll be a crime if this kid doesn't make the ASG this year

[UK2K]

Assisted on 88% of three pointers.

Its easy when the plays are made for you.

Thompson is good, but Curry runs that team. Klay owes him for his success.

[bigkingsfan]

Holy shit, going for record.

[dubnation]

9/12 on threes, 40 points, 3rd qtr :O

[k0kakw0rld]

45 points goddamn

[LakersForlife]

james harden who?????

[dubnation]

36 f**** points in the 3rd are you f**** kidding me lol

[Done_And_Done]

Kid hits these in his sleep

[RoundMoundOfReb]

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Also close to the 3 point record with 11. Record is 12. 13 is the magic number IIRC

[Milbuck]

HOLY S**** :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[russwest0]

Mvp.

[Lexington Steel]

I don't care how lopsided this game is, Kerr better leave Klay out there. This is f*cking amazing to watch.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Thompson is good, but Curry runs that team. Klay owes him for his success.

Lmfao

Jesus Christ man, you sound salty AF.

Klay isn't good? He's not the one that puts the ball in the hole? Curry does that for him? Curry played for him at WSU, then got him drafted?

People are so fuhcking weird on this board

[dubnation]

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Also close to the 3 point record with 11. Record is 13 IIRC

12 I think, DM and KB

[LakersForlife]

that taliban cant be the best SG in the game Klay going ham

[mehyaM24]

ridiculous. klay was flat out unconscious in that 3rd - all jump shots too

[Milbuck]

that taliban cant be the best SG in the game Klay going hamKlay has top 15 all-time potential, imho.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I think Steph Curry may have just lost the MVP

[UK2K]

Should I use the ISH logic from the Hou/Ind game?

But its Sac, they're a scrub team, his totals shouldn't even count.

Pretty sure I heard all of those excuses when he dropped 45 on Indy the other night.

Great shooting night. Like I said, its too easy for him. 9 out of every 10 three's he takes is off a pass. Curry makes it easy to stand there and catch and shoot all night.

[JohnFreeman]

Good ol SAC defense

[Batz]

Christ f*cking almighty.

[Hittin_Shots]

Good ol SAC defense

That shit was pretty indefenable

[Young X]

This speaks to his insane off-ball ability, more than anything. Klay is so dominant he can dominate a game without the ball. It's a falcon flying without wings or a cheetah sprinting without legs. The dude is a ****ing freak of nature.

[Done_And_Done]

37!!!!

Are you effn kidding me

[KNOW1EDGE]

UK2K you are really jealous of Klay Thompson, aren't you?

You just refuse to give him any credit.

He's pretty good at basketball if you ask me.

Regardless of who is around him, or who passes him the ball, he is good.

Just enjoy it and quit hatin

[UK2K]

He catches and shoots Curry assists. If you're a great shooter, its easy. Imagine Korver in place of Thompson. You don't think Korver averages 25 if he takes 17 catch and shoot spot ups a game?

[D-Rose]

Just insane.

[Deuce Bigalow]

He scored 37 in one quarter?

[bigkingsfan]

He scored 37 in one quarter?
On 13/13 shooting, 8 3's... :roll:

[Smook A.]

Speechless right now. Wow.

[Milbuck]

He catches and shoots Curry assists. If you're a great shooter, its easy. Imagine Korver in place of Thompson. You don't think Korver averages 25 if he takes 17 catch and shoot spot ups a game?
Korver is in the absolute best situation possible for him right now and he's at 13 ppg. Elite spacing, elite ball movement, he's an elite off-ball mover...everything there's for him to take..but he's not Klay. No one is Klay.

[Mirzas]

Korver almost never takes shots unless they're wide open. Thompson will drain them in your face.

I think he's awesome. He's on my fantasy team.

But as I said, when you have Curry on your team, its too easy. And as I said above, if Korver took 17 shots and 90% of them were catch and shoots, do you think he averages 25? Serious question.

I think Thompson is a product of Curry.

Klay would average 30 PPG on this team. Easily.

Without question. Klay is the best shooting guard of all time.

[supernova5912]

Klay Thompson has 52 points, 16-25 from the field, 11/15 from deep, and 9-10 from the line. :lebronamazed:

[KNOW1EDGE]

Klay Thompson > Kyle Korver

Klay is a product of Klay, nothing or no one else.

One could just as easily make a retarded statement like "Klay made Steph Curry"

[Collie]

Holy shit, didn't realize it was an NBA record. And not an obscure one as well.

[ace23]

Just saw this on Twitter and came to ISH

Wtf lol

[Milbuck]

Steph's assists are a product of playing next to Klay.

[Andrew Wiggins]

guy has an amazing, record setting quarter and the first thing this kid thinks of is james harden

what a shitty troll. get a life dude, being fixated on a single player is unhealthy

[raprap]

My main man Klay. :applause: :bowdown:

Future MVP. His bro will take this year though. :rockon:

[el_locoteee]

"Harden is the best SG in the game" :roll: :roll: :roll:

Then Harden is the greatest defender in the NBA

Head to head this year he held Klya playing single team defense to a 42 FG% and 25 3p%

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Gotta respect how he was still passing at the end. Didn't get tunnel vision.

[UK2K]

Steph's assists are a product of playing next to Klay.

Since Steph averaged 8.5 apg last season (more than his 8.1 this season) when Klay shot 44% from the field, somehow I think you're wrong.

6.1 out of his 6.8 three point attempts per game are assisted. Let that sink in for a second.

[YouGotServed]

Assisted on 88% of three pointers.

Its easy when the plays are made for you.

Thompson is good, but Curry runs that team. Klay owes him for his success.

88%? Is this a real stat? :roll: Imagine how many buckets Harden would score if 88% of his 3s were assisted.

These 2 aren't even remotely close.

Harden is a franchise player, a future HOFer, a once in a generation type of payer. Thompson? He's just...A really good role player.

Two mention these two in the same sentence is blasphemous. Period.

Agreed. Amazing, record setting game by Klay. Really makes you wonder how anyone can think Harden is the best SG in the game.

This is really unfair when you consider whenever Harden does anything the only response is "PLAYOFFS". No one gives Harden any credit yet I think he's pretty good at basketball.

[Andrew Wiggins]

what are you hoping to accomplish by obnoxiously spamming an agenda on a message board? :wtf:

[Prometheus]

Seriously though, 37 points in a quarter is just ****ing absurd.

If he were to somehow keep that pace for an entire game, he would have scored 148 points.

:biggums:

The most recent player to score 30+ in a quarter was Carmelo (33 in 2008)

[T_L_P]

No one has. Not recently, not ever. It's an NBA record...

Hmmm...I guess it is.

I thought Joe Johnson and 'Melo came close once?

The dude dominates the game without dominating the ball. He is the NBA equivalent of a nuclear explosion. Gets in the game, blows everyone away, and gets the **** out. Doesn't hog the ball, throw around fancy dribble moves and step backs. He just plays the game in its simplest form and rapes the competition.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

****, I can't even do that on 2K.

[Magic731]

He's asking the last record.
It was Melo 33 points wasnt it?

[Young X]

He went 13-13 from the field, 9-9 from 3, 2-2 from the line, 133% TS% in the 3rd quarter. Incredible.

Doesn't work like that he missed the next 2 before sitting in the 4th. That's why Kobe 81 is so great it's almost impossible to stay in good mode the entire game. And usually like in this case when a player go off like that they end up putting the other team away early and then end on the bench watching garbage time

right, no agenda when a guy has a record setting quarter and your first thought is to log onto a message board and start an attention seeking thread about it and ensure that you fmention james harden. the immature name calling is a clear indication of it :lol

8-18
9-15

Harden has struggled against the Warriors as well, but the Warriors have the best defense in the league.

The dude needed something, anything, to remind him that he was still human. 70 isn't the question imo, it's whether or not Wilt would still have a legacy had Klay went for it.

Just like i said at the start of the season, this is why i dont think Curry should win MVP, yes Curry handles the ball more fancily & dishes more, but Klay is just as good/valuable and if not better/more valuable (certainly made his case with this performance which Curry will never be able to touch in his career)..... as good of a shooter Curry has been, Klay might be even better....

And you'd probably be spamming with us with your temporary Harden bandwagoning. Before Klay had his historic 3rd quarter you were jumping on Harden's back saying he was the best SG/top MVP canditate. Let's not turn everything into a Harden vs Klay debate each time one or both of them has a big game.

Klay sucks.

Anybody in the league could do what he is doing.

Steph Curry made him.

Kyle Korver is better than Klay

Klay sucks at basketball

His game tonight was not that impressive

If it weren't for other people Klay wouldn't be in the NBA

Klay has never worked hard or practiced basketball

Klay owes all of his success to Curry

Hardens always done that.. Even on stacked OKC. He's a ball handler.. That's his comfort zone. Klay is an off ball shooter who shoots or uses a fake with one of two efficient dribbles max. They're just totally different styles.. Harden will never be like klay in that regard just like you'll never see klay using 10+ dribbles on a possession to score.

[plowking]

I don't think that record ever gets beat. 37 in a quarter? Ridiculous.

Is it wrong to describe Klay as a slightly better Reggie Miller? Probably a slightly better shooter, better ball handler, and has a better drive on him.

[pauk]

I understand people are just trying to undermine Klay in order to raise Curry's MVP chances.... but.... you cant do this for long guys...

[Milbuck]

And his rookie season, 93% of his three's were assisted on, 5% more than this season.

You're not making a point.
Dude can dominate games while other players are dominating the ball. Best player in the league. 37 points in a quarter and he didn't have to dribble around like a maniac to do it. Greatness.

The pure shooting scoring SG era just might not be dead yet.

[b1imtf]

Wow wtf.

[KNOW1EDGE]

So one player is a ball hog and one passes the ball and moves without the ball to free himself for open shots.

And this is the "factual proof" that Klay sucks and Harden is GOAT?

I was asking for proof. Harden was the best playmaker on all his teams thus he has the ball to playmake and more ability to take dribble threes It's the same with Curry. Curry isnt nearly as assisted on his threes as Klay is. Harden and Curry might be better at pull up threes than spot up threes but I dont think the numbers indicate that. If they do, show me. :confusedshrug:

Harden isnt as good a shooter as Klay who is making the case for GOAT, but I would wager he could hit 40% if his threes were assisted as much as Klay. I cant say the same vice versa.

Ever? Bruh. Klay and Curry are still alive.

[UK2K]

I see Thompson as the Pippen to Curry's Jordan.

Pippen was an elite player. Averaged 21, 7, 6 and shot 47/35/70 in the last 5 years he played with MJ in Chicago.

After MJ retired, Pippen went on to average 12, 6, and 4 on 44/32/75, not including his last season in which he only played 18 mpg (see, I'm even giving him the benefit of excluding his worst season).

Similar to those two, I think Thompson is a perfect fit next to Curry. He plays great defense, and because of Curry (like Jordan), the defense is not entirely focused on Thompson. As I said before, 90% of his three point shots are off catch and shoots. 90%. That means, he catches the ball, and shoots it.

If for whatever reason Curry and Thompson go separate ways, Curry will continue to put up the numbers that he has the last few seasons, while Thompson will go back to being an above average player.

Thompson is dependent on Curry for his success.

I honestly believe you could replace Thompson with Korver, and there wouldn't be much drop off. The defense isn't the same, but the skill set is similar.

[Smook A.]

houseton fans mad salty,

I still think Harden is better but Klay was insane tonight
I'm not salty at all, I just think its stupid to start making a Harden vs Klay debate when Klay's historic night had nothing to do with Harden. I know both guys are the top 2 SGs, but debating over who's better is really ruining the moment.

[Xsatyr]

So much Jelly...

Assisted or not it's amazing. The guy was running without the ball and creating his own shot.

[Anaximandro1]

There's hot, there's scorching and there's whatever you want to call Thompson. The sharp-shooting shooting guard shot a perfect 13-for-13 from the field, 9-for-9 from beyond the arc and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line during his record-setting period. Thompson's nine three-pointers in a quarter also set an NBA record, eclipsing the previous record of eight, which had been shared by Michael Redd and Joe Johnson.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[KNOW1EDGE]

I honestly believe you could replace Thompson with Korver, and there wouldn't be much drop off. The defense isn't the same, but the skill set is similar.

Guy I quoted said "imagine how much Harden would score if he got assisted 88%"

There's no proof for their differing skillets.. It's.. Watching the game and seeing how they play. You want a number for that.. It doesn't exist.

We could pull up Reggie miller's shot chart and see he's assisted way more than Harden.. And when the % assist shows much higher than Harden and some guy says "LOL imagine if Harden got assisted as much as Reggie miller" he'd look just as dumb as saying it with klay.

Harden doesn't have as good an off ball game as them.. That's just as much a skill as harden being able to cross guys. I recognized both skillets.. You assume playing off ball is somehow easier.. Which makes no sense. We know Hardens game.. He isn't going to sprout into Reggie Miller if he plays next to say Chris Paul.. If anything we'd see a lebron Wade effect there.

He's arguing that Harden is the better player because he gets to dribble around, through his legs, step back, twirl around, do a little dance, play with his ******, and chuck his brains out.

If Kover can maintain his efficiency while doubling his FGA, the Hawks would be absolutely retarded not to let him shoot more.

Kover is a great player who plays within the flow of the offense, which gives him 8 shots a game.

In only 32 mins a game...... ridicilous...

Just like i said at the start of the season, this is why i dont think Curry should win MVP, yes Curry handles the ball more fancily & dishes more, but Klay is just as good/valuable and if not better/more valuable (certainly made his case with this performance which Curry will never be able to touch in his career)..... as good of a shooter Curry has been, Klay might be even better....

Great shooting night. Like I said, its too easy for him. 9 out of every 10 three's he takes is off a pass. Curry makes it easy to stand there and catch and shoot all night.

And you'd probably be spamming with us with your temporary Harden bandwagoning. Before Klay had his historic 3rd quarter you were jumping on Harden's back saying he was the best SG/top MVP canditate. Let's not turn everything into a Harden vs Klay debate each time one or both of them has a big game.

i don't know why you guys argued so much about who's better, thompson will ended logetivity career than harden, harden's elite will be much shorter.
harden is poor in basic basketball skill, always in his left hand and goes his left side, when his body goes down, he will go down very quickly with his poor skill compare to thompson.
on the other side, some of harden shoot were no reasonable like former Rocker Francis. some shoot drew the team to lose the game.

this is a more impressive than Klay's, since was almost all two-pointers so he had to create a lot more... and it came against an all-time great team and a great defender in Michael Cooper.
Call me when you do that in 2K. 37 pts in a quarter and people still trying to discredit a player.

[Hey Yo]

lol, no it isn't more impressive....

Klay's performance is an all-timer......more impressive than 81 pts imo...not sure about MJ's 63 just because that was the playoffs/Boston Garden, outstanding defense, etc.......But if someone said it was, Id have no problem with it.........
Jordan's 63 was a loss and in OT while taking 41FGA and 21FTA.

Klay's is much more impressive.

Saying you think someone else did something better isn't discrediting someone for f*ck's sake.

He can think Sleepy was better for plenty of reasons.

Playoffs, 85 Celtics ... I'm going with MJ, for the overall game.

But that third quarter by Klay ... can't believe it. Not even Wilt scored that many in a quarter, I take it.

Just insane wow

Salt all up in this thread lmao

Lets think about this from an efficiency standpoint. I would bet you that you couldn't take 13 shots and 2 FT to score 37 points if I gave you 100 tries. Without ANY defense.

so that is the test? what an ish poster could do? Kobe's quarter was more impressive just do to the circumstances.

LOL at all the phaggits saying Klay's performance in a REGULAR SEASON game is better than playoff performances. And against a shitty Sacramento team at that. At least MJ's and Sleepy's games came against two of the greatest teams in NBA history--in the playoffs.

Great game, but until Klay does this in the post-season, ya'll bitches need to STFU.

Fine, almost no NBA players could do it without defense.

If you think Kobe's qtr was more impressive you are trolling or a dolt.

13 shots, 2 FTs and 37 points. Thats a TS% of 1.32. Talk to me when Kobe gets to 1.10 for a qtr. Thats 20% fewer points on the same number of possessions

The truth is Klay was pretty brutal the rest of the game (3/12, etc). I'm not going to argue that was even in the pantheon for best games. But for that 12:00 he was insane and every bit as good as any offensive performance in my lifetime.

Nobody gives a shit, clown.

Why can't you pathetic bums just appreciate a great performance.

The guy went 13-13 in the quarter, hit tough, tough shots, 8-8 from 3, and single handedly took over the game.

:rolleyes:

ISH's nostalgia freaks are obnoxious. People aren't allowed to appreciate a historic performance without someone saying "meh, MJ doe".

[KungFuJoe]

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

hmm...Kobe was coming back off an injury and wasnt even 100% yet and was getting AK47 back for talkin shit in the media. Kobe also faced more defensive attention bc he played with bums. Klay getting single coverage against the Kings is not the best performance in your lifetime. Things are a little different when teams are throwing doubles and triples at you and you still get 50 or 60.

and you are out of touch with how good American shooters are...there are many than do that without defense given that many opps.
