Klay Thompson's stats in the 2019 NBA Finals.

[Lebron23]

26 ppg on 54.1 shooting. 58.5 3 points percebtages,4.8 rpg, 2.4 apg.

[SATAN]

What's your hot take on these stats?

[Dr Hawk]

Great shooting performance.

[Lebron23]

What's your hot take on these stats?

He could have been the finals mvp if he didn' get injured. Steph averaged 30.1 ppg on 41 FG& that's pretty pathetic.

[LAmbruh]

[Lebron23]

:bowdown:

Even without Kevin Durant. Both Thompson amd Draymond were putting up solid numbers, but Steph was shooting bricks the whole series. Mr Triple Single averaged 12 ppg, 12 rpg in the nba finals.

Stephen Curry has no iconic playoff moments and is a terrible Finals performer

As much as I dislike the sheer cockiness of Steph, can you provide some context please? Surely he had a few iconic playoff moments?? Intriguing.

[SwayDizzle]

Stephen Curry has no iconic playoff moments and is a terrible Finals performer

This is true. He shrunk in every finals

[Doranku]

Only took 5 finals for him to finally not play like dogshit:

2015 finals: 16/4/2 on 41/30/92
2016 finals: 20/3/2 on 43/35/77
2017 finals: 16/5/2 on 43/43/71
2018 finals: 16/4/1 on 48/43/80

[Stanley Kobrick]

This is true. He shrunk in every finals
I agree with you SwayDizzle, that's why he has zero finals MVP's

[Manny98]

Klay Thompson is basically Reggie Miller with much better defense

He will go down as a top 5 shooting guard of all time when it's all said and done

[Axe]

Wonder if this guy can still go back in this form after that tragic injury last year.

Nah

[tpols]

they probably wouldve won the series if klay didnt get hurt.

demarcus cousins just totally killed them with an expanded role.

As #2 in 2016 thats not terrible
As #3 in 17 & 18 thats not terrible

1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. Wade
4. West
5. Allen Iverson (I think Iverson was more of a SG)
6. Drexler, Ray Allen, James Harden, Tracy McGray (take your pick)


Not saying you're wrong, does Klay jump all these guys?

lmao, whats wrong with 2016 and 2018?

Especially 2018? Have you gone nuts?

Thanks for telling us Kobe was dogshit in 6/7 finals though, lol

[999Guy]

Benefitted a lot from being guarded by VV and Lowry more than Green.

He was just too tall, and in too much of a groove.

I thought those were Curry's Finals numbers :lol

[AlternativeAcc.]

Klay is better than Steph, always has been

Warriors didn't become elite until Klay took the next step and they signed Iggy.

They were garbage before Klay, Iggy, and Dray came to form

One of the worst offensed in the league before Iggy signed

[ImKobe]

Klay can't even dribble lol, he's always benefited from the attention the opposing defenses give Steph. Raptors had 2-3 guys on Steph while Klay and others were shooting wide open 3s.

Casual fan spotted

Warriors were bottom barrel offense until they signed Iggy

Curry only became a threat once klay dray and iggy did all the dirty work and covered all of stephs weaknesses and allowed him to chuck 3s all game with no pressure, no defense played, and no stress

[3ball]

Nonsense

Raptors had control of the series at every point

That's false. They were above-average and beat Iggy in the Playoffs in 2013. Klay averaged 14.7 ppg in that series.

[Akeem34TheDream]

Yes. And they were winning game 5 but coach Nurse made a rookie mistake and called a timeout when momentum was in their favor.

Iverson is the most overrated player in NBA history, I would take Klay over him in a heartbeat.

And Klay has won more championships than Harden,Drexler, Allen,Miller,Tracy and Iverson combined

What's wrong with 2016? Are you trolling? That is acceptable production from a second option? Go compare those numbers to Wade's numbers in 2012/2013 and Kyrie in 2016. Your GOAT needed much better production from his 2nd option to win.

And 2018? 16 points on 48% in a sweep against the 2nd worst defense in the LEAGUE? That's impressive to you? Yeah maybe it's not dogshit, but when you look at the context.. it surely isn't going to support your side.

[Bronbron23]

26 ppg on 54.1 shooting. 58.5 3 points percebtages,4.8 rpg, 2.4 apg.

Dont forget elite defense. Klay has always been just as important as steph on that warriors team

[Naero]

Most chalk up the Warriors' loss to Durant's injury—and understandably so—but that series was probably winnable enough even with just a healthy Klay. I doubt Curry scores those 47 points vainly if Klay were playable in Game 3, and I'd like the Warriors chances of pulling away in Game 6 with Klay's likely-hot-handed fourth quarter.

After all, the crux of the Warriors' downfall was defense, not Durant's injury. Part of it—and paramountly so—was demotivation from stringing together championships the previous years; another not-inconsiderable part, however, was the absence of Klay's elite defense, which was sorely missed when the Raptors scored a series-high 123 points in Game 3 and when Fred VanVleet scored 12 of his 22 Game 6 points in the fourth quarter.

Klay wouldn't make the Warriors prohibitive favorites (as Durant would) by any stretch, but he's impactful to rethink the series outcome even with just the game and a quarter he missed.

Not that I feel the Raptors' title is completely reducible to injuries, of course—too many circumstances and hurdles factor into championships to asterisk any of them—but they're always interesting counterfactuals to discuss, and it helps put Klay's impact into perspective.

20 ppg on 43% is definitely not dogshit. Even I don't think Kobe was dogshit in '09. He was bad.

But Klay was the 2nd option. Thats pretty standard output. Most 2nd options have a series shooting 43% here or there.

And 2018 is a plain great series.

He was the 3rd option on offense, what more do you expect? Him to take shots from KD and Curry?

Not exactly sure how you mentioning the sweep is supposed to diminish his action.

That was a 3rd option doing better than 2nd options.

Scoring output wise for 2016 that's true for most 2nd options, but if the Warriors had won that would've been one of the weaker 2nd option Finals performances we've seen from a champ.

2018 he played perfectly well, barely shot 12 times a game and was efficient, but I would not go so far as to call that a plain great series lol. Considering the context of him having two top 3 players as teammates against a woefully overmatched opponent, he played perfectly fine, no more no less

And calling Kobe's '09 Finals bad, c'mon bro :lol He was inefficient but overall played well in what was his best Finals series

Wade 2013 was waaashed bruh

So washed he had 32/6/4 6 steals in a must-win Finals game with Miami down 1 - 2 on the road & 23/10 with 2 blocks in Game 7 to cap off the win.
Also had an incredible defensive stretch in the RS when they won 27 straight (23/6/6 ~54%FG 2.4 stls 0.8 blk during the streak).
