Klay Thompson

Scott Rafferty (@crabdribbles): It's been a tough NBA Finals for Klay Thompson so far. In Golden State's Game 1 loss, Thompson finished with 15 points on ...

Sure, it's still a tough shot, but it's within the flow of the offense — and it's one Klay is capable of making. I think we're on the same page that we're not overly concerned with Klay's start to the Finals yet. I think he's earned the right to take a tough shot or two in the post. Look, Jordan Poole is trying to get Klay to come off the Bjelica screen to put him in a position to make a play. Look, part of what makes Klay Thompson special is that he is one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen, and to be a great shooter in the NBA, you have to have confidence. This is part of the process to get him there. No, but in the context of the game, I'm not going to crush him for that look. It wasn't a two-point game with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Gay: It was less than a minute into the half. For the rest of Klay's career, he's going to be judged on his shot-making ability. He's also been pretty up and down in the postseason — not a huge surprise considering the injuries he's coming back from — so it's not like this slump came out of nowhere. I think we can agree that if the Warriors keep getting this version of Klay Thompson, one that has had little to no impact in both games, then they probably won't win the title.

Hey, watching “Game 6 Klay” highlights is a solid choice because Thompson’s performances in those playoff performances are as clutch and dominant as you will ever see. In fact, Thompson said he searches “Game 6 Klay” on YouTube! While it is just two games into the series, it is a pivotal portion of the playoffs, and players’ performances are placed under the microscope.

Klay Thompson isn't living his best days as a part of the Golden State Warriors. He has struggled to make an impact during the first two games of the 2022 ...

Moreover, Klay isn't the only one confident that he can return to his best level. The Warriors travel to Boston for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, which can be the perfect time for Klay to unlock his power and start knocking down 3s to help Curry and co. Well, he's not too worried about it now, as he's been through that before and is ready to bounce back.
