Choke, you say?

Why is Klay Thompson so useless? 

Post#1983 » by wfiles » Wed May 23, 2018 3:58 am

All the Warriors need him to do is make 3's and play some defense but he can't even do that consistently. Do other teams really want to pay him the max?

Durant's iso ball is still better offense than most teams in the league. Dude's ridiculously efficient. They didn't drop this one cause of him IMO

It's the warriors every possesion counts he took like 3 crazy shoots. Had that been JR lebron would have beaten his ass. discipline is everything against this team

He was 1-4 and if I remember correctly he took 2 bad shoots but in any case his defense made up for it that's why he was a game high +14.


1-4 doesn't look that bad on paper, but those 2 bad shots were those momentum crushing types that could have done Houston in. He was playing directly into Golden State's hands by trying to match them tit for tat, and most of the time the Warriors win those. Fortunately for Green they were missing them.

Warrior fans really gonna turn on KD exp if they lose this series it's already happening and it's 2-2 :lol: .

He's the main reason y'all won the ship last year or else bron bron woulda probably had another ring so chill out

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

It’s not KD’s fault. Give credit to the Houston defensive scheme. Golden State lost in 2016 in large part due to them not having an iso player. Now it’s KD’s fault he’s changing the way Golden State is playing?

You cant gain possession in .5 sec and call time out thats ridiculous


You haven't watched much NBA then, haha. The coach and players tell the ref they are calling timeout before the play and begin yelling it before the player grabs the ball. As they touch it cleanly the ref will whistle the timeout. I've seen it take off .1 or .2 of a second plenty of times in that instance.



Youve never seen it youre making stuff up. Stop embarrassing yourself or find some evidence.

i don't know about fully healthy

Anderson was unreliable on defensive end
he missed few games in first round because he rolled his ankle, i don't know how healthy he is

Mbah a Moute dislocated his shoulder twice this season both after a dunk
he's too afraid to dunk now

Nene is just bad matchup when there is no real center in this series

Johnson never got his rhythm

there really isn't much choice

People acting like klay can be a star and be a franchise face of a team is fooling themselves. This guy is as good as he will ever be on this team. He is Kyle Korver with real good defense.

I think he played his butt off in the first half and was tired. Then CP took over in the second. I don’t recall harden driving after halftime

Have to give props to D'antoni. Going away from players who are bad matchups against the Warriors to get it done.

his defense made up for it. he also hit a couple big threes to keep us in it. he messed up on those threes but he played hard and was a needed spark

Skip Bayless must be sick to his stomach that he has no Westbrook to blame for this loss.

Moute has been atrocious this post-season, dudes clearly banged up.

In the playoffs he's 9/34 and 3/14 from 3. You can't compete with GS if you have someone like that right now.
