Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors vs. 8) Los Angeles Clippers

Yeah that's about what we'd expect you to take away from a detailed description of a play

And what I'd expect is excuses made for Klay.

 

[msgkings322]

He is married. Has been for a long time. He doesn't need IG skanks, cmon man. Tiger and Klay can keep plugging them

Yeah married NBA stars never bang road skanks, I forgot that

Yeah but no one cares what you expect. Being wrong is very on-brand for you.

Stopping him isn't always just about percentage...it's volume. Like I said in my other post Lou got up 11 attempts against Klay in 22:30 minutes, or about 1 shot ever 2 minutes. In the 9 minutes he played without Klay on the floor, Lou got up 10 shots, or over 1 shot every minute.

Part of playing defense, is not allowing a shot to be taken at all, rather than simply defending one taken.

Quit with your biased homer bullshit. Everyone knows Klay isn't that great at defense.

agree 100%. But part of playing D is stopping the shots that are taken.

Lou was sliding past Boogie every time. He definitely wasn't getting in the right position and when he was Lou just made a nice shot or found a way to score

To be fair, Lou is an awesome scoring force. Great scorers score no matter who they play

you're replying to tell me you don't care?

 

[tlance]

Sorry, but to me it says you like Klay as a defender and don't like Boogie.

Dude.

Show that clip to anybody who understands ball screen strategy and they will tell you Boogie was 100% wrong on that play.

But go ahead and ignore that which you don't understand.

Oh man don't do that dumb thing again . I'm replying to remind you how wrong you are and to get in a pretty good dis too.

This is why I believe there will be some series/games where Bogut is going to be extremely valuable to the Warriors. I'm really hoping that he can work out an arrangement again for next year to join us short term if he's still producing at this level.

Just curious:

What percentage of the shots Lou got when Klay was guarding him came off some type of ball screen action?

I don't know for sure, but I would guess a very, very high percentage of them.

KD says he can control himself but he literally started it LOL. Not even sure why Beverly was ejected, refs probably just wanted to make sure something didn't happen later in the game. I just don't get why KD needs to talk shit to Beverly. That was such a wasted T, he could have used it on something better LOL

And I agree Boogie stood there like a lump, but Klay was also abused on the play.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah married NBA stars never bang road skanks, I forgot that

You could take it the other way, not all married stars bang models on the side LOL

KD got no self control. I feel like it's always a give and take with KD. People called him a bitch for his days in OKC because they said he didn't have a killer mentality. He has it now, but I do agree with you it's at an extreme level.

so you care to get in a perceived dis.

Klay was abused on the play in question.

does it make him a bad defender? Of course not. But he was turned around like a pretzel.

There's Tristan Thompson...and then there's Steph Curry. There's Kobe and then there's Doug Christie. The NBA runs the gamut of personalities, so it makes no sense to lump them all together.

I'm sure most.....no way Klay just got beat. If it wasn't a screen, he was probably supposed to let the guy blow by him for inside help.

He wasn't abused on the play. Out of position, arguably, but he's expecting help from Cousins, who you can clearly see sags into the paint. With a guy as good at scoring as Lou is, you have to take aggressive approaches otherwise he'll just kill you. Lou made a great play and took what the defense gave him.
