    I think if a player in the league that has earned the right to be in a shooting slump, it's that guy.

    10-24 isn't terrible, and 35% on the season has nothing to do with "on a night he was 7-15 from three."

    It's amazing how shameless this place has become. Just gotta keep digging that hole deeper.

    That's 21 points on 15 shots bro. I presume you know this though.

    Dude has a PER of 9.

    He’s been nothing like he used to be. The only thing that has been shameless is his game.

    Currently at 10 but yeah he's ranked 248th in the league with 8 games played.
    Thing is Marcus Smart is right there with him at 246. Dillon Brooks at 265. Grayson Allen 272
    If you go to a PER of 11 or 12 you get quite a few players that are contributing pretty well.
    No question Klay has struggled but his career number is over 16 and I kind of have a feeling he will bring that number up from 10.

    He probably will get that number up. I’m just highlighting reasons that the Warriors are sucking right now.

    Agree. They will need Klay if they are going to compete this year. We all know Steph is great(Trash) but he can't do it alone.

    Of all the players on that Warriors team I’m actually a Klay fan. He’s got roots out here in Vancouver.

    I’m just illustrating that he’s been dog water thus far this year is all really.

    All the way back in ‘03. This dude was insane his rookie season. Kind of wild to think about how this was 19 years ago.



    Lebrons career choices cost him a lot imo. Going to the Lakers and having trash teams for a franchise with a history of superstars and success, one of which he’s about to pass for the all time scoring record; is not a good look for him in the GOAT conversation.

    When that was asked in here about the Kings getting their first win, it was that night. Can the forum curse drive the Bucks to a loss in Minnesota tonight? If not, I'm thinking a week from now in San Antonio.

    The Warriors shot over 50% from the field (44% from 3) last night. Clearly, the offense is not their issue.

    Probably gonna be a generational thing. Old heads have MJ, some older heads even think KAJ is the GOAT, not MJ. Maybe Doncic has a shot, but there aren’t going to be many guys who come into the league at 18-19 and dominate right away and carry that production over 20 years. Right now, he’s “putting up stats on a bad team”. If he was on a different team, he’s likely 2nd/3rd Team All NBA and he’d likely put the achievements total out of reach for anyone to catch. That’s just crazy to me. In 2012 after KD won his fourth scoring title, I thought he was going to be the all time leading scorer one day. Giannis didn’t start dominating until a few years in.

    He’s going to be known as the father of the player empowerment era, and he hasn’t even messed up the most since then. KD and Kyrie F’d up an entire franchise. There’s going to be more players who think they can be like Lebron and there’s going to be even more blemishes on their careers than Lebron’s. If championships are all that matter though, I’m unlikely to convince you of anything.

    And in my own head, F’ing up the Lakers gives him more points, not less :)

    I think Atlanta could end the bucks streak if they make it to that game undefeated. Wolves could be tough for them tonight.
