Perhaps some of the worst shot choices I've ever seen in my life. I think every single one was heavily contested with decent time left on the shot clock. Legit baffled on what he was doing.

klay and jimmy were flexing their CTE tonight

[–] FlyingMocko@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Just the two back to back contested 3s in OT with the second being an airball is enough to sum up his performance in the second half

[–] dank-kush@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Klank Thompson strikes again, never forget the guy who posted his stats after the first quarter

[–] Vince_-@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think Klay needs to shave his hair. It's holding back his aerodynamic ways. Hope you see this Klay.

[–] -KFBR392@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Based on his shot lately he can keep the hair, but he needs to get lasik

[–] Low_Beyond8134@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Those 2 back to back contested 3s in the corner were hilarious

[–] wanderingdust@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yea they were really bad. Every time Klay touched the ball I was begging him to shoot it

[–] random123--@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I have been a huge fan of klay my whole time watching the warriors but today's shot selection was just 0 IQ. I've never seen such bad shots in my life.

[–] Foi_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

klay has a tendency to take 3s where he doesnt even get set. knees dont bend, no range of motion in his form. just tossing sht up

[–] OUEngineer17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There was incredible basketball by almost everyone on both teams tonight. And then there was Klay...

[–] AstroCoffee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Warriors were so dangerous cause their big 3 were all really good at different facets of the game apart from obviously being two of the greatest shooters ever

Klay just isn't an elite defender + doesn't have the same movement anymore and it's forcing him to lean heavily on shooting. Stamina isn't the same either and it shows in his consistent late game struggles. Legs are gone, he's lost a couple of steps, lateral movement is slower and he just throws shit up

[–] Bababooey98@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Those would have all been 100% smothered shots in 2k. Klay sold.

[–] Shoddy-Media2337@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They were sooo bad bruh

[–] need2peeat218am@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wasn't there a post earlier here about Klay "silencing the haters" in the first half only for Klay to play like ass again the second half lmao

[–] cortesoft@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No, they really don’t. I’m good seeing them once.

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This isnt klays fault at all! Kerr forced him to take those dumb shots! Dumb nephew’s

[–] Bballopinion@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Duncan Robinson is better than Klay at this point.

[–] ArtfulLying@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He feels utterly compelled to chuck up the ugliest shot known to man the second the ball touches the cells on his fingers. There's literally a guy standing an inch away from him. Instead of passing, he brings the ball up from the side of his body to get the shot up. Baffling

[–] vogenator@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He used to make these same shots. That's what made him an insane shooter. There's a multitude of factors at play now why his shot isn't falling like it used to. The real one no one ever mentions is how his elite defense led to offensive opportunities in the fast break. Things are way slow now for him, and he's trying way too hard to force a shot

[–] Roccet_MS@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Nobody makes this shot on a regular basis at the end of a game/OT. It's not a good shot.

I'm alright with Klay taking that shot if it's at the very end of the shot clock. Those two weren't.

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Klay needs a new look on a different team.

[–] broke_in_sf@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Klay is done. Physically. Mentally. Can't shoot, can't make good decisions. This contract season has really F him.

[–] PestySamurai@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

His ego too big and he in his feelings too much trying to get more than he’s worth.

[–] Roccet_MS@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I mean he's started slow several times, but his defense is nowhere near where it was, similar to his movement on offense. It doesn't help that he hasn't added much to his offensive game either.

[–] gimpisgawd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

We need /u/bootum with those lowlight videos.

[–] fatcharlieangel@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Toaster is toast.

[–] VeterinarianNo978@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Missing a shot is one thing, but the zero hustle after a miss or a turnover is worse imo. Do you need to show us you are mad by jogging back on D?

[–] jeaxz74@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

only splashes he is making is in the washer...

[–] SurlyWet@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No confidence shooting is slower

[–] CoachMorelandSmith@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Klexposed Thompson

[–] houstonrockets3311@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What is he thinking? Does he know he sucks or not.

[–] UnnamedStaplesDrone@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is he stupid??

[–] zeze999@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lowlights are so much more appreciated today than highlights, it seems like

[–] SomeRandom928Person@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's because this sub is filled with nothing but haters, not fans of basketball. Nobody wants to see highlights cause that's basketball. Everyone wants to see players fuck up and make bad shots because that's drama, and that's what all the kids are here for.

[–] silkkthechakakhan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s exhausting

[–] Downtown_Weird6823@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Another KLAIRBALL Thompson disaster class!

[–] unclehelpful@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’s trying to channel Poole’s shot choice and shot making in the 4th.

Seeing if he can get punched by Draymond and shipped to another team.

[–] CheckFar8907@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Either Klay needs to come off the bench or he can get his bitch ass off our team
