    That's what happens when you keep running Ray McCallum jr and Nik Stauskus at him. Not impressed

    Trolling, hating, or what? This was freaking incredible to watch. I don't care who he was being guarded by (or not guarded by), but doing this in an NBA game is really amazing. This deserves props.

    On a side note, I still can't believe the opinion out there is that Klay is the best shooting guard. He is so fortunate to play with such a talented team. I definitely think he could help a crappier team fight for a playoff spot, but definitely not much else. I wish Harden had a running mate like Curry to take some of the pressure ofF.

    I think ClutchFans may have overreacted when they melted down after the loss to Golden State. The warriors are just steam rolling everyone, and are clearly the best team in the league.

    This isn't surprising lmao.

    I am not a GSW fan but Thompson is currently the second best scoring SG on the season

    22.6 ppg

    Top 10 overall

    Early on he was No1 or No2 in scoring for a period of time.

    This.

    Also, if the Spurs get healthy come playoff time, I think they beat the Warriors in a series.

    Golden State would destroy the Rockets, Mavs, Blazers and they would beat the Clippers too.

    GS is on a nice run, but jump-shooting teams eventually hit a cold streak and fall back to earth. The Warriors will have one 4-to-6 game losing streak before the regular season is over. That team is close to being a legit title contender but not quite there yet.

    Lastly, Klay Thompson is not a top-10 player. Maybe borderline top-25. He's a very good role player that happens to be a great shooter and a great fit on that team.

    They're blowing teams out basically every game so his main guys aren't even playing that many minutes.

    But still, they're shooting AWFULLY well right now. It would suck if they go on a short drought in a series that could cost them the series.

    Considering their run, if they were beaten in the first round (which is possible if it's OKC), would it be seen as a "choke-job" ? The West is so infuriatingly loaded with good teams.

    To those saying this was a result of bad defense, maybe, but watch those highlights. He hits some insane shots.

    Yes, I think it would. Their bandwagon is in full effect already. People are expecting conference finals or bust.
