All you've "proven" is Kobe had a very different style than Klay. No shit.

Klay is basically Ray Allen. It's the equivalent of comparing him to Kobe.

 

[bksballer89]

He's a fringe guy anyway. His up and down effort is not befitting of a top 75 player.

He should easily be one. But this is his approach and demeanor

Dwight was more deserving

Ray in his prime years didn’t need to rely on screens all game long. He had the ball in his hand a lot. He could create. Klay struggled without a screen. Older Ray yes, he did more catch and shoot off screens.

Allen was a crappy defender however.

And that lines up with teams utilizing the defensive looks to contain someone like Allen or Klay. I will lend you prime Allen is probably more of a 1 than prime Klay though.

I expect the Lakers to win tonight's game 3 very easily.

Klay is Ray Allen 2.0.

Most definitely a better all around player. And it isn’t really that close.

Prime Allen was a better all around scorer though.

Why watch?

I'll only be able to watch most of the 1st half.
Got a bar back gig tonight from 7-12...at a friend's bar I used to work at part time here in SF years ago.
The regular guy had a family emergency up in Lake Tahoe.

Probably not, since I'm straight

Is @msgkings322 invited?

Nah...probably not..and for his own safety.
It's kind of a dive bar with a rowdy, loud and colorful rich history in the Haight-Ashbury area.
He seems to be more of low key Marina tourist trap pub, or a Pacific Heights quiet wine bar type.

So you think he would get beat up basically?

Used to live there. Is it Hobson's Choice? Murio's?

At Walgreens after dinner at La Parrilla.

Had steak tacos with rice and beans. So stuffed.

The margaritas were really good.
