Based on Klay's response, he totally cares about what everyone thinks. If you watched the games, he's been forcing his shots, trying to prove something.

Been like that since the last playoffs. That Game 6 Klay nickname was a gift and a curse. Dude was taking side-step, heavily contested 35 footers . 2015-2019 Klay could make those shots. Current-day Klay, not so much

I think the mistake Klay made was not developing other facets of his game. Dude could’ve easily developed a post up game since he’s 6’7” and has a high release jumpshot . Defenders know to close out hard on him because he’s not a driving threat, and he’s doing more off the dribble, which has never been his game, and is leading to his struggles

Is the NBA rigged? Last season the Warriors could not win on the road, and mostly only at home. Now it is the other way around. Notice their 'fantastic' record at home. Warriors are cooked? I highly doubt it but if you are a Warriors fan(like me), perhaps it would be bettet to just skip watching them nowadays to avoid great disappointment. Wait towards near the end of the season, they might show real improvement. Just watch and go for your second favorite team. hehe

@@iamtheonlywilly To all all of you casuals, let me explain… Nike and the NBA won’t allow curry and under armor to win any more chips… It’s bad for business. Why do you think Kurt has never added a big man or true center? It’s because Steph Curry would have nine chips if he had a legitimate center, it’s obvious Steve Kerr is doing this on purpose and Nike is blackballing under armor and Steph Curry. Anyone with the brain can see we need a Center we can see that Klay Thomson is washed as is Wiggins it’s not rocket science. The NBA is blackballing Steph Curry on purpose I don’t want to kick him out the leak because he makes too much money, but they are blackballing him.

The issue I have with Klay's attitude (lambasting people for not giving him time) is that he is taking up a spot for someone younger, hungrier, and more able to contribute to the team. Steph is two years older and playing significantly better ball. Klay needs to play better if he doesn't want to be criticised. It is that simple. The fact that he is sitting around feeling sorry for himself and getting so defensive does not bode well.

One thing I've seen is he's much better when Chris Paul is on the floor with him. Paul gives him the perfect passes, better than what he gets from Steph or Draymond. He should still be a starter and closer but they should put Moody in a lot more and put Klay with CP more.

Yep, he is not a hugely talented athlete as far as speed, quickness, and jumping ability. And when you are that type of athlete and you lose a step, or two, you are in big trouble unless you develop other areas of your game. Thompson has not done that. Why he doesn't have a better inside post up game is beyond me.

Klay is a classic case of Robin Hood thinking he could be Batman. He always talked a bit bigger than he should and it never really looked or sounded right.

He justifiably wasn't listed as a top 75 player. 1st ballot HOF, no doubt but no one on that list is just a catch & shoot guy. The fact he can't take anyone off dribble yet he practices with Steph every day for YEARS says a lot. When Steph is doing his pregame ritual, where tf is Klay?? At some point, his😊 arrogance has limited his development as a player.

Draymond is the only person to perfectly exploit the reluctance of referees to give a player their 2nd tech.

As a non-warriors fan I hate it but would love it if he was on my team. I respect it. What I can’t respect is the whining and complaining when he gets the techs and suspensions.

Klay is saying he doesn’t care to take away the power of the media criticism of him. However, the media will try extremely hard to hold onto that power by convincing him that he cares.

2:46 Ben Simmons cares about what everyone is saying that is why he is in analysis paralysis. Klay Thompson not caring is the best option, he has two of the greatest teammates (Steph and Draymond) with strong work ethics, they’ll help him get back to form. What constructive advice has anyone in the media given? Apparent from the obvious “get in the gym and train”, working hard doesn’t mean working smart. As you age, your training approach changes to accommodate the aging related disadvantages; this is Klay’s experimentation phase to learn what viable training will get him back to form. Don’t blame him (an individual that has proven themselves countless times), doesn’t Golden State have analytics, training staff, etc. to personalise a training plan for him

In regards to the issues Draymond been having, it's made me appreciate Dennis Rodman even more. That man played basketball his whole career like he didn't care about basketball. On court/off court antics, partying, rebellious, nonchalant, picking up techs and fights left and right, and somehow someway managed to average a career 13 rpg while being a defensive pest. He was so good at what he did that he made top 75 and HOF for it. He's one of the greatest if not the greatest non-scorer in history.
@albericponcedeleon2696
@albericponcedeleon2696 5 місяців тому
In my mind what separates Rodman from the Draymond, Pat Bev and Dillon Brooks is that the latter guys are unhinged professionals, while Dennis was professionally unhinged. The other guys routinely lose their cool and end up hurting their team under the excuse of being themselves. Whereas Rodman could more often than not dial it back just enough for his shenanigans to not be detrimental to team success, as long as the team was willing to embrace him.

Because teams are catching up and now we’re the team that’s getting the embarrassed like we used to do to those teams.

My question is why do the warriors keep leaving Klay in for so many minutes? At the end of the game yesterday, Moses Moody was hot. Hit 3 3 pointers in a row! And then they took him out and left Klay in! I get bring wiggins back in for the last few minutes but why would you take a hot player out and keep struggling player in? I think they would have won if they kept moody in and subed Klay out and in general he is too inconsitent . He is a liability and will continue to be if they keep leaving him as if he were the star he used to be. Is it because he gets paid more and they feel obligated?

So, three weeks later, and Klay is definitely trending back upward. There's still a lot to clean up, but he's playing better ; and he's still absolutely lethal on the catch-and-shoot. Never believed it for a minute when he said he "didn't care." This guy is one of the fiercest competitors in the game, and it sure looks like he used the criticism as fuel. If Dubs can get past the Draymond drama, and can continue to integrate the younger guys into bigger roles, they are definitely still a playoff team that can go deep.
