Crazy how fast you guys switched up on Klay๐คฃ
Where do they get their stats from๐๐ klay has not averaged 19 not once even with it being 3-5 games in๐๐๐
"My name is Gilbert" ๐๐๐
People who watch basketball and know the game know that Klay is good
Let me clarify for everyone. In all through time.. William, Richard, Robert have all been names that are passed down through generations. hence the first, second, third and so on.. so the names bill, dick, bob were used by the family to call out someone exactly.. im a 4th generation william ayotte but my family gave us all different middle names.. so i go by Aaron. Instead of bill, or junior..
Klay is not playing as well as buddy rn!
Golden State are sick right now
Klay gonna drop a 70 piece when he goes back to the Bay….
Furniture for furniture is true but I think we jus got lucky getting buddy heโs always be dope, Kerr thought our rookie curly hair dude was the next klay ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐ญ
With the Warriors Klay was the 2nd option. In Dallas Klay is the 3rd/4th option depending on what night it is.
Warriors couldnโt pay him and fill out the roster around Steph. It worked out for both parties.
Last year Klay played much better off the bench. Similar numbers to Buddy. Buddy is also playing off the bench. Warriors also have new pieces so itโs easier to plug and interchange players. Klay could easily fit in the buddy role.
But he still wouldnโt be the 2nd option just like buddy isnโt now. Honestly Warriors donโt have a real 2nd option
This sounds real nice until you actually watch the games, which these guys obviously don't. Anyone who watched the Warriors last year knows they look better this year w/o Klay. The money they were going to have to pay him went to 4 guys who have absolutly made the team better. Waters, Melton, Hield, and Slo-Mo. ANNND Moody is getting the minutes he deserved and producing. Warriors are and will be a top team in the West. This is why the panel has no chips and the Steph Warriors have 4 and a Dynasty. PS… Happy Klay got his money and is doing well.
Why are they so surprised he didn't get paid by the warriors. Teams do players like this all the time
The knicks should of trade for Rudy bc kat is a 5 but he gets pushed around so he needs a Rudy or a randle to take the big fish
Klay was sitting home watching all those open jumpers Josh Green and Derrick Jones got and was like sign me up. But everyone said he was washed ๐.
Klay didn't perform in the playoffs back to back seasons. Dray suspensions, Wiggins not there mentally. Kerr not developing young players
GiLโs Hypocrite Arena. Yโall wash bashing Klay last year lol
These NIGGAS DONT WATCH THE GAMES KLAY WAS WIDE OPEN 70% OF THE TIME LAST YEAR ๐คก AS NIGGAS
THESE NIGGAS PANDER AND LIE 24/7 LAST NIGHT HE HAD 7 POINTS WODE OPEN BUT LET THESE DUDES TELL IT HE NOT GONNA DO THE SAME SHIT HE DID LAST YEAR
Richard –> Rick —> Dick (Slang)
Tarnishing Klay's legacy for the same stats is a shame.
Problem with these dudes is they want u to praise these niggas for doing the bare minimum and their job but when they're lacking they got every excuse in the world to not bash him shit doesn't make sense u want the praise without down times especially for bron they use his age until he has a good game again
No buddy heild slander
He been a bucket
This would have been a great time to discuss Ja Morant real name. Itโs Temetrius lol
KLAY HAD 7 LAST NIGHT WHILE BUDDY HIELD HAD 19 IN THE 4TH ALONE
I remember the first games of last season, they were always starting klay but he was not scoring and GS was losing games. He was benched and he improved. The org was more patient with him than he was with them
Soooooooo what if your name isn't Richard, but you're still referred to as Dick???? ๐ค๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐๐
Just needed a fresh new start. There was a lot of pressure on him as Warrior after that injury.
Gilbert Buddy0
My first white friend I ever met was in college. His name is Bud. Thatโs his real name ๐
Show ,is a joke this show smells like shht now!! They have been bashing Klayklay the last 3yrs Gil at 1point said Klay didn't do shht to earn his last ring now he on some CryMeArIVEr poor Klay shht I swear these guys and thats including that wnba She-Hulk looking broad ๐คฎ Warriors haven't looked this good on defense in yrs maybe ever that trap they running is crazy i call it mayhem
7 points smh
Kenyon Martin talks like he got CTE
I love this podcast fr ๐๐๐๐๐
If they knew he actually took less to play for the mavs!
What dafuq KMART talk bout ๐๐๐คจ๐คจ๐
Circus show.
9:59 i know at least 2 names that is the same way growing up. So any girls named Jennifer were either called peich or pech. Junior were called Mala. ๐๐ ๐ ๐ don't ask me why but I'm the same age as gil and until today, anybody named Jennifer or Junior are still call by those nicknames. I have no clue why.
๐๐ ๐ ๐
Buddy Hield is balling in Golden State. I donโt know what the hell theyre talking about. Dudes shootings 55% from three right now. Iโm getting rid of Klay too
Buddy is putting up crazy stats on a MUCH better contract too. Soooo I mean I see why the Warriors made the move so far
Boy Lexi be looking good ooowwweeee ๐
They just need something to talk about bc last year Gill was on Klays ass about not evolving into a better player and not adding to his game. I know im biased bc thats my team but damn get the facts straight lol Kerr was on Klays side the whole time. Of course he benched him last year bc not only was not hitting normal shots he made all the time but then there were a lot of times where he would get blown by on defense which still happens on the Mavs now. The only difference is the mavs have two big men who can stop drive rather than what GSW had last year. Podz was out there hooping and making great plays. I dont get the shade.
Klay is the best 3pt Shooter in our History. Curry maybe the best shooter, but from the Line there is no one and never was anyone better then Klay.
