Klay Thompson's 2015 Finals Stats 15 ppg / 4 reb / 1 ast / .509 TS

[warriorfan]

Klay Thompson put up 15 ppg / 4 reb / 1 ast while shooting a .509 TS against Cleveland in the finals.

From those numbers you would think Klay Thompson was the one receiving double teams the whole time, not Curry.

Not only did Klay's points per game drop drastically but his efficiency did as well. Klay should of been able to put up much bigger numbers on much better efficiency considering the game plan that Cleveland deployed.

Hopefully Klay will come out of his shell during this year's playoff.

[DMV2]

We all know Klay sucked ass in the Finals. What's your point?

[JT123]

Looks like Wade's playoff stats in 2013.

What is the point of this? Why are calling Klay out like this. No he's not as good Curry but he doesn't have to be. You already have one thread discussing Klay. You could have posted this there. What is the endgame?

:confusedshrug:

[3ball]

He provided Curry with no help tbh... or at least very little help.. and Klay was never a playmaker anyway.. Just a play-finisher, and he didn't even do that much in the Finals.

Otoh, Curry's Game 5 is one for the ages - that was the entire series right there.

[warriorfan]

Sucked ass is an understatement. His points per game dropped over 5 points from the regular season and his efficiency dropped 8% while Curry was receiving some of the most defensive attention we have ever seen. His defense was also suspect during the entire playoffs. Thompson defended James Harden about as well as J.J. Redick...if any of you watched Houston vs LA and then watched Houston vs Golden State you will know what I'm talking about.

The end game is that the Warriors are a mediocre team with scrubs that is being carried by Curry, who is a top 3 GOAT.

[outbreak]

what kind of a cockhead throws his teams second best player under the bus to try and make their best player look better :facepalm

Klays one of the best shooting guards in the league. He had a poor series, so did Curry. The guy put up 25ppg over the pelicans series and 18ppg over the memphis and houston series. He's a good player.

[SexSymbol]

shut the fock up, seriously, it's your team, try to prop the players up instead of shitting on them.
Curry doesn't give a fock about you, you don't owe him putting on a clown act on an internet forum.
You're like a fact-less, more annoying version of 3ball

Steph Curry's Game 5 Final Highlights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si5phRZBlD4)

:applause:

[Mass Debator]

15.8*

Matthew Dellavedova was getting shit on by Klay so they had to keep Shump on Klay for longer periods than originally planned...especially since Delly was pretty effective against Curry in stretches no one saw coming.

We all know Shump is an elite perimeter defender. Once Curry finally figured out Delly, it was over but that was supposed to be the matchup that should've been exploited since play 1. Klay did okay enough against his matchup. Iggy overachieved on both sides of the abll and that was the biggest difference.

Oh and if Curry showed up in game 2 instead of missing 18 shots, maybe the Warriors would've ended it in 5.

Iggy grade A
Curry B
Klay C

The Heat would gladly trade you Gerald Green and Chalmers for the role player named Klay.

Steph is not only expected to win the Finals, but he is expected to do it in less than 6 games.

Curry scores 26 / 5 / 6 on .585 TS while seeing double coverage the whole series and gets rated a "B".

Well one thing Curry has shown, when people keep raising the bar of expectation, he keeps meeting it. :applause:

Steph Curry is already one of the greats and is displaying top 10 greatness to me. I'm not debating that. Klay was primarily guarded by Shump which is nothing to sneeze at. Putting up 16 was decent. Outside of getting outplayed in game 2, Curry did what he supposed to do. It was a clear mismatch.

If you were expecting big numbers from Klay, that was your bad. For his assists numbers, he's not a good play maker, but he's certainly a good passer who rarely makes bone-headed plays. He's the right guy next to Curry and for the Warriors.

The same kind of cockhead that throws Jordan under the bus by constantly bringing up Pippen in an attempt to draw attention away from the fact that Bron never won anything without Wade. :confusedshrug:

At least we have evidence of Jordan spending his personal time to develop Pippen by inviting him to his home gym to practice everyday before actual practice. What the hell did Bron or Curry ever do for Wade or Klay to develop them into a champion? Wade was already a champion and Klay's finals stats show he was along for the ride.

Correct. Still doesn't change the fact that the other 4 perimeter players shot like shit and should be accountable.

I didn't list Mozzy because he's not a "shooter" from all areas of the floor like Smith, Jones, Delly and Shump are.

8 of Mozgov' points in game 4 were assisted by LeBron and another 10 were from the FT line.

LeBron's playground style, non ball sharing, and non equal opportunity offense decreases the statistical output of his teammates. When other players play in LeBron's ball dominated style of basketball, it doesn't allow them to get into the flow of the game. Imagine playing a game of basketball and you get frozen out for stretches of 5 to 10 minutes with out even touching the basketball because one player is dominating the ball the entire time. When you finally get the ball in your hands you are not going to be in rhythm and not be able to play up to your best ability. It's quite obvious that Jr Smith Jones and Shumpert are all respectable shooters and far superior than a player with 0 FG%. Unfortunately that is the biproduct of LeBron ball, it completely freezes out the rest of the team.

Otoh Steph Curry utilizes ball movement and off ball play to create an equal opportunity offense. This gives Curry's team mates the best looks in basketball. He gets his team involved early and often in the team's offense to get them into rhythm so they can play to their potential.

Yes, real fans hold all players accountable for their Performances, even the role players.

The problem is you need to examine the circumstances around the performance. In my post before I described in detail that at first glance you could say that Iman Shumpart had a subpar series, however if you watched the entire series a different picture begins to unfold.

The picture that begins to unfold is that we see how LeBron's ball dominant, AAU-styled offense doesn't create an equal opportunity offense for the rest of the team to produce. LeBron's time of possession of the ball in the Finals was over 50% higher than the highest of any player in the entire season. This stat alone shows you that LeBron was not playing a proper brand of basketball that gets the entire team involved. When players play with a ball dominating player and do not receive the touches for long stretches, they do not perform as well as if they were in a free flowing, equal opportunity offense with proper ball sharing.

Thompson 88FGA.... 38MP pr game

Smith 77FGA.... 33MP per game

So Klay's 11 extra FGA is why he shot 10% better than Smith?

And the circumstances were the Cavs were w/o their 2nd and 3rd best players.

If they both play the entire series, James takes less shots and possess the ball less.

If you can't understand that, then nothing can help you and your retardedness

Thompson 88FGA.... 38MP pr game

Smith 77FGA.... 33MP per game

So Klay's 11 extra FGA is why he shot 10% better than Smith?

Yes, that is one reason.

Another reason is that LeBron was utilizing his ball dominant, non equal opportunity offense while not drawing double teams. LeBron's inability to score efficiently while in single coverage made it impossible for LeBron to hurt the Warriors in exchange of never double covering him. In consequence LeBron did not see any double teams which did not create open looks for J.R. Smith and the rest of his scorers.

Otoh, Steph Curry was the head of a free flowing, ball sharing, equal opportunity offense. As we already know Steph Curry forced Cleveland to double cover him almost every time he crossed the Half Court. This warped Cleveland's defense greatly and allowed the rest of the Golden State team to get wide open looks.

Bro you dont understand basketball. You dont know anything about involving your teammates to get hot. Thats what bran isnt doing. Taking all the easy shots(1st-3rd) so he could secure his stats and then expect his cold teammates to bail him out in the clutch. And we all knew 4th quarters are the toughest time to score much more in the finals. Yet you expect role players to score in this moment.LOL

Meanwhile curry involves his teammates early on so they get hot while preserving his stamina. And then in the 4th this happens

Most 4th Quarter Points in Final since 1991:
1) 1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (around 60% TS)
2) 2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
3) 2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
4) 1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
5) 1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
6) 2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)
7) 1993 Michael Jordan 10.3
8) 2015 Lebron James 10.2 (51.7% TS)
