    Even if they win the appeal (Which they should), they're not going to get a win. They'll get some kind of apology letter and a moral victory from the NBA head office.

    You're correct. He's a crappy finisher.

    And last night he shot a lot like Iverson. 25 points on 22 shots -- it's such an insult for anyone to compare him to Harden.

    The finish in Memphis was great, however the rule that you can get a shot off in under 0.5 or 1.0 even is just ridiculous. A tip in can happen, but that's it!

    Last year, Klay Thompson shot right at league average around the rim (56%) and this year he's around 64%. I don't know how to look up what percentile that puts him in for the league, but I'd imagine it's pretty good.

    Didn't know leaving a guy for a backdoor cut wide open lay-up before the shot clock timer is robbery?

    I like how Klay Thompson is apparently a two way player and Harden isn't.

    Just look at the stats. Harden has a superior defensive rating. But I guess the media will continue the narrative that Harden sucks on D because of a couple of defensive miscues.

    Whats funny is that when Chuck said Klay is the best 2 guard he only mentioned his defense of game and not his offense of game. Klay is a great player hes a live and die by the 3 type player but what i do wonder why Klay doesn't attack the basket when hes having an off night. With Curry out there with him i don't think he will be averaging a good amount of assist with Curry on the floor with him unless if Kerr let Klay play some PG see how he does.

    Who is Harden guarding? Who's Klay guarding?

    Obviously Harden is a better player as Kenny pointed out.

    Klay right now excels at what the team asks him to do. We really don't know how good he can be, and we might never know.

    Look at Westbrook. We really don't know how ridiculously good he can be.

    I'm not usually grammar police but you just spelled 'defensive/offensive' as 'defense of/offense of' and it gave me an ulcer.
