A disappointing performance in the clutch tonight from Klay Thompson. Not only in terms of the shots he missed, but also the quality of shots that he chose to take.

Dude has been laying bricks. Pretty sure a new school in Africa opened thanks to him.

[–] craigslistaddict@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he turned into a pumpkin

[–] hiei_150@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I need a clip of the 3s he was taking at the end. He was having a decent game but decided to throw it all away by taking some very stupid three pointers that ended up costing their team the victory. Did he just want the pop from hitting a hard shot? Come on man, just be reasonable lol

[–] throwawayyrofl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Its not even about not making shots, the shots he was choosing were terrible

[–] jslee0034@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

him shooting 3 pointers is whatever because he's klay and he has the accolades and everything but his shot selection is genuinely the worst i've ever seen in a bit. i actually celebrated him taking threes ngl. but today cp3 worried me more than klay... which says a lot.

[–] ffcnep@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Truly horrendous player this year. Beyond cooked

[–] _homage_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I feel dirty asking, but who can they trade him for?

[–] WTakesOnly@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Now I can see why mods ban halftime stats

[–] Altruistic-Drawing25@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Good god how many heat checks can one man need

[–] Bballopinion@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This might be disrespectful, but Duncan Robinson is better than Klay at this point.

[–] JAhoops@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He was just jacking contested threes

[–] PJCR1916@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Those shots were terrible and missed just as bad, dude was out there throwing up bogus

[–] DimaSholom@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What were those quality of shots? Rookies know better

[–] JokicOrBust@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think Warriors will see how he looks like by January but they need to win enough games before they are in a play-in race in very competitive western conference. They can't afford for Klay to be this bad for that long

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His shot selection is abysmal

Scoring off the dribble has never really been his game and I have no idea why he's doing it more than ever now when he's physically declined

[–] jgatch2001@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That guy who posted his stats at halftime jinxed him

Someone even commented Klay would go 1/10 in the 2nd half and he went 0/8

[–] MonkeyFL3X@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

WTF were those back to back corner threes lmao

[–] 0dias_Chrysalis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He took some of the worst, most ill advised, heavily contested and definitely not drawn up like that shots that wasted possessions for his team in the 4th and OT

[–] Handsomebruh13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

it doesn't represent on how seriously he dogshitted the warriors momentum comes at 4th and OT

[–] cock-a-dooodle-do@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I swear he can easily average 17-18 on good efficiency if he stops jacking up bad shots. They are not just bad shots, they are horrible shots. His game looks good when he is playing within the offense.

[–] New_Essay_4869@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He just tries to rise up and shoot over Kenrich. The Warriors can find better shots than that

[–] IHateYouKids@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is the ess nce of washed. It's not that he can't do it, he can't maintain it

It's like the one oldhead oat 24Fit who runs the game 7-0 with every move imaginable and then never scores again. The skills are there but the body can't sustain it any more.

Fuckin' sad. Happens to everyone but his time came to soon.

[–] Professional-Sock231@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He always does this he makes one contested three and just starts chucking. Like last game he got his first one and then just missed the other 5 or 6

[–] houstonrockets3311@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He is absolutely useless. A Tony Snell, PJ Tucker 0/0/0/0/0 would be more positive for the team cuz at least they wouldn’t be taking shots and possessions away from better players.

[–] Downtown_Weird6823@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Washed as fuck!

[–] Street-Common-4023@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nah I see what people be taking about cuz them contested threes when he had enough time is crazy

[–] uber_troll@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He went 0/3 in OT. So if Chet didn’t make that lucky 3 Klay would be 6/10

[–] Rahmaniac818@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Steve Kerr need to sit him down and stand on bidness

[–] imnoobatfifa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Some of the shots he was taking are inexcusable.

[–] Low_Beyond8134@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He was terrible down the stretch

[–] Cough_Syrup55@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Heat Check Klay

[–] PrimaryAccording9162@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m afraid he’s washed

[–] xDeejayx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

And then he started dribbling and turning it over while chucking and playing terrible D. smh

[–] trevortins@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He just said fuck a good game lemme throw up some bricks. It was like he was hunting fully contested 3s towards the end of the game.

[–] ColdPressedSteak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He had a dumbass shot late in regulation that probably got forgotten amidst the Wiggins clutch shots. Early in the clock with a defender draped all over him. And my god his OT shots were just terrible decisions. It's like he's already made up his mind that he's shooting if a ball comes his way no matter how much the separation has closed when the ball gets to him

Seriously needs to be benched at least once as a message

[–] FeminismIsTheBestIsm@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's insane that Klay STILL has yet to hit a 20 point game this season

[–] baller6767@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Weird seeing him take after Poole with the selection

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's definitely not a good stat line. However Klay clearly came into training camp out of shape, and is using nba games to get back his conditioning.

The fact that this is a better performance compared to his last few games hopefully means that things are starting to improve. As he gets his legs back, his stats should continue to get better.
