He's just too good so he was unable to go 6/24. Appreciate his effort tho. #ForKobe

[GimmeThat]

they didn't do well in the bubbles with the masks on, so

with a 40+ million salary

[hold this L]

He has been honoring Kobe in LA to be honest, he was playing for the Lakers in both games. :bowdown:

I'm 100% certain that if the Warriors win tomorrow, Klay is going to go gun ho about Game 6 Klay and 100% shoot the team out of the series on Friday. Fully expecting another shooting disaster-class on Friday if the series is even extended. Funny thing is that the baked airhead isn't as elite on game 6s as he thinks, he's basically done it in 3 of them and thinks it's automatic now (he was the worst player on the court from both teams in last year's G6 finals).

People keep expecting old Klay to return. We see glimpses now and then but overall he's just a lesser player than the pre-2020 Klay.

Klay is one of the most overrated basketball players of all time.

Klay is one of the most overrated basketball players of all time.

Klay can be summed up by 5 of the hottest scoring performances ever: 60 points in 29 minutes, 37 points in 1 quarter, record 14 3s / 52 points, 43 points on 4 dribbles, 10/10 3-point shooting game

and some amazingly crucial big time game 6 performances: 2016 WCF, 2018 WCF, 2019 WCSF, 2019 Finals

other than that hes been "just" a regular all-star level 22 ppg scorer.

But its those big time WCF(or defacto WCF) performances and uncanny streaks that make him so highly regarded.

Klay is one of the most overrated basketball players of all time.

He’s never been an efficient scorer and his defense has always gotten super overrated.

Klay has never shown up as a big impact in advanced stats gauging defense. Not in one single metric.

Klay is built up to be some 3 and D god when in reality he has always been at league average when it comes to efficiency plus being a mediocre at best defender.

Klay shot 47% TS vs the Lakers. For reference Russel Westbrook shot 51% TS in his series vs the Suns.

Klay is basically a worse shooting westbrook with worse defense, rebounding, ball handling, passing. So when people say it’s impossible to win with westbrook. Klay is way worse.

Even if we take Klays entire career. His career TS is 57% regular season, 55% playoffs. That’s literally league average.

Average efficiency, average defense, no handles, black hole.

This is with playing with Steph Curry as well.

Klay is one of the most overrated players in NBA history

I doubt he would take a paycut and come play for LA when his contract is over. His dad is a broadcaster for Laker games, that would be a dream come for him.

you said you doubt it and then say it would be a dream come true for him?

Anyway, draymond said he wants to play it out with the same guys until the end of his career, and i think klay wants to do the same.

Sure, of course Klay wants to keep making 40+ million to shoot 47% TS in playoff series while playing no defense.


Pretty comfy position to be honest.


And of course Dray wants to opt in another year for a huge payday…..Where else is he going to go that will pay him that money? Anywhere he goes he will be paid way less and be exposed as his play will fall off a cliff once he goes to a new team.

[tontoz]

Curry has 3 years left. I would assume that Myers will try to keep the band together that long, but not longer.

25% over the last 4 games from Klay was really hard to believe.

I meant his dad.

Klay promised to play his hardest FOR LA hehe.

Most overrated shooting guard of this generation

The nerve to compare him to the likes of Reggie Miller and the Ray Allens of the world :facepalm

I've always said this but Klay without Curry's gravity and freedom to take so many shots would be Kyle Korver

Um, Klay has carried the type to superstar ish numbers most of the time Curry was out.

In 2016 as Nr. 1 seed, Curry got injured in game 1 and came back in game 4 of the WCSF.

Until then, Klay averaged 29 points on 21 shots, 46% on 3s while taking 11(!) a game, carrying the Warriors 2 games shy of the WCF as Nr. 1 option.

Dont you ever say something so dumb again.

[Manny98]

Against the Trail Blazers who had no business making the conference finals in the first place, there third best player was the great Al Farooq Aminu :roll:

Draymond damm near had a 40 point triple double against them that series :roll:

Klay sucks he's lucky he got to play next to the greatest offensive force the league has ever seen for his entire career or he'd be another Kyle Korver

wtf are you talking about, it was the WCSF.

[Manny98]

My point still stands, I don't rate Klay at all, his defense has always been overrated and he's just a chucker on offense who occasionally gets hot every now and then

Okay, ignore the evidence then :lol

"Kyle Korver without Curry gravity" lmao :facepalm

[Manny98]

What evidence?

Am i supposed to be impressed that he lead a team to a couple of wins against the shitty Trail Blazers :oldlol:

And if anything Draymond was the best player on the team in those wins with his defense, Klay shot 7-20 from the field in game 2 and they still blew them out
