Believe it or not he actually has shot better then the great RJ in the playoffs if you believe in effective FG% yes he shoots worse from 2 but shoots 15% better from 3's and with the volume he tops the great one. He also has 10% better FT% so if you are more TS% he would also be higher.
I think Klay will always be a mix of Underrated/overrated. Because of him being the 3/4th option stat watches will think hes not that great. And then because he's on a great team some will overrate him. I think he's one of those guys who just is in the absolute perfect position for his skill set.

Jefferson's knee is fucked. and Thompson is performing within reasonable expectations thus far in the playoffs.
ZaZa has countered Popovich's diatribe with his view that he is not a dirty player. if he sprains another shooter's ankle by invading their landing zone whatever will the NBA do?

You are totally not getting what we are saying about Thompson. The guy can score 60 points in one game then go 2 out of 11 the next one. His variance is noticeably large. It has nothing to do with defense or injury.

For those of us old enough to remember him defending Bowen for doing the same thing all you can do is smile. That said completely sucks for Spurs and Kawhi. At best Zaza's a reckless oaf, at worst, well he's the Georgian Bowen! Smile about how the league's rules and protection of players have improved since Bowen?
More the irony of Pop's comments. Bowen was the wing version of Bill Laimbeer in his day and Pop would defend his dirty plays time after time after time.
So it's just... interesting to hear Pop ripping on a guy for undercutting someone when he used to coach a guy who used to use it as his signature 'defensive' move.
It's all just part of the drama. The league must be happy we finally have some emotion in the Playoffs beyond despair at the current levels of competition.

Obv not an undercut but classic hard nosed defense from BB.

great game tonight. every possession is a steel cage death match.

He doesn't need to, the series is over. Besides he can try an Olynyk special (like he did on Kawhi previously) next round, gotta mix it up.

Sargeant Slaughter didn't actually win the WWF title until 1991 although his prime was in the 70s and 80s. these commentators have got to get their rasslin' facts right.

Olynk going nuts! Beal too, but needs some more help.
|
welp, Boston's bench outplayed Washington's bench by a lot. very entertaining game.
|
If Olynyk played like this more, people would forget about those one or two plays.
|
Pssh. I'm hoping for more. Nothing makes me happier than hated white NBA players. They get super-hated

It's really the hair, I think. I knew a girl in 8th grade with that hair.

Why? You think they need to take out LMA too? Worried someone's going to think it's high time to take out Stephy's ankles?
