He was just behind Wilt's 100 point pace.
Klay goes on the hottest scoring streaks I've seen. 60 points in 29 minutes. Last year, he had 37 points in a quarter.
Yeah, while I vehemently disagree with the notion stated earlier in the thread that he's the best guy on the Warriors, he's got to be the most combustible player in the league. When he's in a zone, he's automatic.
The question I have -- what will be the highest single game point total for the Warriors this year? Will they get past 150? 160?
Why do you vehemently disagree? Would you really take Curry or Durant over Thompson right now so easily?
I sure would.
As would I.
as would pretty much anyone.
Well, thankfully none of you are GMing my team.
thankfully you aren't either. Klay Thompson is not better than the two time defending MVP or the guy that won the award before that. He just isn't.
Great. Strong arguement. So you can take one of those guys -- I'll take Thompson.
And I will win. Durant and Curry are both better players than Thompson. I really can't believe anyone would argue otherwise.
Yeah, I can't imagine what the argument is.
Klay doesn't do anything better than Durant. Literally nothing, except maybe on-ball defense but that's not even clear cut. And Durant is much better at a handful of things.
Curry is a little different because he's got some physical deficiencies Klay doesn't have but they've been playing together for 6 years now and Curry has always been the leader that everyone looks to. He's the lead playmaker (except when Draymond is) and somehow is even a better rebounder than Klay. Klay gets hot like crazy but, statistically, he's still not even as good as Curry at the thing Klay is best at, shooting.
