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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Vince_-@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Low_Beyond8134@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] wanderingdust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] random123--@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] AstroCoffee@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Shoddy-Media2337@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They were sooo bad bruh

[–] need2peeat218am@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bballopinion@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Duncan Robinson is better than Klay at this point.

[–] ArtfulLying@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Klay needs a new look on a different team.

[–] broke_in_sf@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

We need /u/bootum with those lowlight videos.

[–] fatcharlieangel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Toaster is toast.

[–] VeterinarianNo978@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] SurlyWet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No confidence shooting is slower

[–] CoachMorelandSmith@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Klexposed Thompson

[–] houstonrockets3311@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] UnnamedStaplesDrone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is he stupid??

[–] zeze999@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SomeRandom928Person@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

It’s exhausting

[–] Downtown_Weird6823@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Another KLAIRBALL Thompson disaster class!

[–] unclehelpful@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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