When people quote Klay’s two good months a season the last couple of years I think it’s only fair to also cite his playoff ineptitude those same years.
He starts slow, gets his shot going and then he flames out because he’s old and Kerr overloads him.
You are not incorrect.
Just to be fair, klay had two bad months last year, not two good ones. He finished the season 22ppg on 43/41/85 shooting and was more like 25ppg on 45/45/90 the last four months of last year.
I would also say he wore down last year because it was his first full season after 2.5 years off and Kerr's workload was definitely a bit much for him and it caught up to him. The fact they couldn't put away sac meant most of their playoff games were every other day and they never got a break really hurt him.
He was also the only perimeter defender on that team since wigs missed most of the year and Kerr refused to play moody. It really was a big load on Klay last season. I have a bit more hope this year that he won't need to play 36 min a night like he had to in the playoffs last year.
Did he also wear down when he played like complete garbage in the first two months of the season? Klay has to be the only guy that fans can give excuses for playing like absolute trash in the beginning of the season and being too tired towards the end.
I will continue my slander Klay agenda until we see no more of these criminal attorney tier defensive schemes when it comes to his incompetence.
