I hate how Klay Thompson routinely storms off the court when he doesn't take the last shot and the Warriors lose

High Clyde went out to grab some booze when 22 down. And when he arrives, they made a comeback. What is he going to do with all those beverages? Save them for the playoff collapse come April?

A three by Dray as your final shot? Best Kerr could come up with?

In general, isolation late in a game against Kawhi is not really a high success play, unless you're some player that has some specific physical advantage over him you can use.

His subpar defense gave PG a clean look for the lead

Not at all, I watched the whole 4th quarter, man.

Now it's 8:35pm here in Brazil, I'm gonna prepare me some "baurus".

French bread, mozzarella, ham, sliced tomatoes, all grilled.

I'll send you a pic via PM when I'm finished eating.

GS and Clips are both pretty mid if we are being honest

Clips stole a game from GS down Wiggins, Gp2, and Cp3 while being healthy

GS issues are they are too small defensively so you can score in the pain easily, there isn't a lot of guys who can score for themselves, and Klay isn't the game guy

Clips issues have more to do with playstyle and effort. Too much iso and little ball movement. They also play small a lot for some reason and then get killed inside. They are at their worst when its Russ, Harden, and a non shooter like Theis, Zubac, Mann or PJ, becuase then they got 2 non shooters and still no off ball movement

Condolences buddy. That was a tough loss.

Congrats to Clips fans though. Good game as it turned out and great comeback from LAC.
