NBA Season 2016/17

[R.Griffen]

Just the 60 from Klay in 29 minutes

Whats even more scary is that he only had the ball in his had for 90 seconds for the entire game.... and only took 11 dribbles.

I read that the stat was misinterpreted and it was actually 11 dribbles leading to his made baskets but he actually took about 52 (I think it was) dribbles for the game. Not sure about the 90 seconds stat but my initial guess would be it's the same logic.

90secs??  :o    ???

are they basically saying all he did was 'catch & shoot'??  :P    ;)

I'll let his highlights vid answer that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUVzjBfGSzI

catch and shoot or catch travel and easy layup.

where was the defense.

absolutely shocking.

Klay when hot is the best shooter in the game.

Salty much, there was plenty of defence he just got hot. Only 2 players in the NBA would have made some of the shots he did. Like the one in front of the warriors bench... the D was all over him, also he went to the line a bunch because he was fouled by that DEFENCE

Salty?

i love Klay, he is the only guy i like on the warriors.

I wasn't talking about the shooting, I was talking about all the easy layups he got. Half of that is got to do with the warriors positioning and the fact that they have to worry about Curry and Durrant but look at the highlights its alot of walk in layup and then the rest was fantastic shooting from Klay.

Klays teammates were looking for him the entire game, was fun to watch how excited his teammates were getting for him and how selfless they all are.  In saying that, perfect time to sell high on Klay and bring it a rim protecting bigman, it would make this team unstoppable.  Curry, Iguodala, Durant, Dray + DJ/Whiteside/Gobert type.  Would also put another player in MVP talks with Klay being the #1 option on another team.

Realistically, what sort of trade could you see happening?

If the Dubs really want someone like that they will have to wait for buyouts or trade some spare parts eg McAdoo, Looney, McCaw and even then, for who? Hibbert? Salah Mejri?

Wasn't thinking that much into it, but it would make there team better if they could move Klay for a solid big.

[Mat0369]

Nerlens Noel  :P

[jvalles69]

Nerlens Noel  :P

I like it, Philly don't want him and he's a defensive beast!  Teams would hate playing the Warriors!  2 of the biggest offensive threats in the league, plus you're getting hounded by Noel, Green and Iguodala!

[Mat0369]

It's not that Philly don't want him, it's just he doesn't want to be in Philly with the abundance of big guys. Right now they are trying to evaluate who works best with Embiid and Nerlens is basically saying 'F it, I'm out' before they even get a chance. His value is low right now but he gives you a ton of defense and is on a cheap deal. Just don't expect him to develop his offensive game.

The only issue in that trade of Klay for Nerlens is they would need a crap load more in that deal. What would Philly have to give up to get it done? Probably Nerlens, the Lakers pick and maybe a future protected first? The 6'ers aren't at the point to be chasing guys like Klay for the asking price.

And speaking of JoJo,



That is your superstar player. Changes the game defensively and has every trick in his arsenal offensively. Add in Simmons and you have one of the best young duos in the league.

[Levi434]

I personally don't want to see GSW trade anyone. I like the roster as is and clearly doesn't need to be tampered with.

No team in the league can defend their outside shooting and trading Klay would hurt the "small ball lineup." Which is the most efficient lineup in the game according to ESPN commentators who mention it at least 7 times a game.

Also moving Klay would mean they have to start McCaw or Clark there which I can't see happening. I mean they could start Iggy or Livings but mmmm...

[Holz]

You don't know how happy a klay Noel trade would make me.

It will be like thunder dropping harden

Simmons klay saric Okafor embiid is insane

Then add another top 5 pick this year.

Klay is as crucial to them as anyone, no one can keep up with the Warriors offensively. Even if their defense was terrible, they're still just going to out score you. I think this is the best regular season offense of all-time. And their defense isn't even that bad, in the first halves of games (so before they blow teams out) their defensive rating is 4th.

@Mat, I don't think any teams want Noel because he's going to get paid a shower load very very soon and it's questionable as to whether he is worth that.

When on I rate James Irving smith love as keeping up

When gsw on fire they can't be stopped but I'm not sure they can outscore every night.

[RiOtChEsS]

If GSW dont win it all this year, then they need to look at tweaking the nucleus, as of right now leave it alone

Don't have to outscore everyone every night. Only gotta outscore teams 4 times in 7 matches

yeah i wouldn't bet against lebron and company to get 4.

my trump card is Durrant coming up against Lebron.
