Klay Thompson

Scott Rafferty (@crabdribbles): It's been a tough NBA Finals for Klay Thompson so far. In Golden State's Game 1 loss, Thompson finished with 15 points on ...

Sure, it's still a tough shot, but it's within the flow of the offense — and it's one Klay is capable of making. I think we're on the same page that we're not overly concerned with Klay's start to the Finals yet. I think he's earned the right to take a tough shot or two in the post. Look, Jordan Poole is trying to get Klay to come off the Bjelica screen to put him in a position to make a play. Look, part of what makes Klay Thompson special is that he is one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen, and to be a great shooter in the NBA, you have to have confidence. This is part of the process to get him there. No, but in the context of the game, I'm not going to crush him for that look. It wasn't a two-point game with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Gay: It was less than a minute into the half. For the rest of Klay's career, he's going to be judged on his shot-making ability. He's also been pretty up and down in the postseason — not a huge surprise considering the injuries he's coming back from — so it's not like this slump came out of nowhere. I think we can agree that if the Warriors keep getting this version of Klay Thompson, one that has had little to no impact in both games, then they probably won't win the title.

ESPN NBA analyst Jay Williams thinks Klay Thompson is not in a shooting slump, but instead thinks it may be a case of "heavy legs."

On Tuesday’s episode of the Keyshawn, JWill, & Max Show, Williams said he thinks the star is in a different stage of his career. Instead, he offered Thompson may simply be a different player at this stage of his career. The series is tied 1-1 after the Celtics managed to win Game 1 on the road.

Klay Thompson isn't living his best days as a part of the Golden State Warriors. He has struggled to make an impact during the first two games of the 2022 ...

Moreover, Klay isn't the only one confident that he can return to his best level. The Warriors travel to Boston for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, which can be the perfect time for Klay to unlock his power and start knocking down 3s to help Curry and co. Well, he's not too worried about it now, as he's been through that before and is ready to bounce back.

Klay Thompson hasn't been shooting very well in the 2022 NBA Finals. Is he in a shooting slump, or is this something more?

Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors that he watches his highlight reels when he is in the midst of a shooting slump.

Hey, watching “Game 6 Klay” highlights is a solid choice because Thompson’s performances in those playoff performances are as clutch and dominant as you will ever see. In fact, Thompson said he searches “Game 6 Klay” on YouTube! While it is just two games into the series, it is a pivotal portion of the playoffs, and players’ performances are placed under the microscope.

Not only are they working on championship No. 4 together, but Curry, Thompson and Green continue to move up the all-time leaderboard with every Finals win.

It should come as no surprise that Russell holds the record for most wins in the Finals with 45. According to Basketball Reference, Robert Horry (28) has won the most games on the NBA's biggest stage since 1972-73, followed by Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar (25) and Derek Fisher, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Magic Johnson, who each have 24 to their name. Then, the Warriors drafted Green with the No. 35 pick in 2012, making him one of the greatest second-round picks in NBA history.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson didn't take kindly to the behavior of Boston Celtics fans during Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Finals.

"Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd. "We've played in front of rude people before," Thompson said. Thompson said that the chanting from Boston fans was a nonfactor in the game, but the Warriors guard had his best game of the series so far with 25 points -- after combining for just 26 over the first two games of the Finals. His efforts still weren't enough, especially with Green having three times as many personal fouls as points.

It was a heated atmosphere at TD Garden where the hosts Boston Celtics defeated the Golden State Warriors and took a 2-1 series lead in the NBA Finals.

When asked how he felt he played, Green responded, "Like sh*t." In the second quarter, the GSW forward got into a scuffle with Grant Williams after an illegal screen. These episodes provoked a harsh reaction from the stands.
