Warriors fans trying to figure out how to sue Klay for being trash

The way LeBron chases Steph too lol
Klay Thompson bricking a wide open three is what I like to see.
I saw it often yesterday.
“Oh it’s just you, I gotta go guard the really good shooter on the team”
I think he assumed that initial close on Klay was going to make him swing it. If Klay passed it then he was going to be in perfect position.
In this case both LeBron and Klay made the right decision. LeBron faking a closeout to try and get him to swing it. Klay fakes him out and gets a wide open three. Klay just clanked it.
The right move
Game 6 Klay now sponsored by wish.com
“Tough choice” lel
Not in 2023

Holy fuk that’s hilarious 😂 . Also was the right choice
huge confidence breaker
Klay 100% got his feelings hurt by that
I was waiting for this to get posted. LeBron is so unintentionally funny
This was one of my favorite moments of the game. It was a smart move and the right one. You’d rather have Klay shooting that than a wide open Curry.
At this point Klay had already bricked a bunch of 3s. Easy choice TBH
Klay, the Warriors actually had genuine good looks all game, just couldn’t convert
Anybody but Curry and live with the results
That clip shows how good Steph is tbh. One of the highest bbiq player (Bron) leaves Klay (one of the best ever too) to guard Steph who doesn’t even have the ball. That is mad respect for Curry from Bron.
But damn, that is some disrespect on Klay lol.
When I saw this, I was like “oh damn”
It was a small part of what took place I think, but it mattered and stood out to me
This man is in his 20+ season and still hustling on D. Yet my back hurts from throwing football around with my son
I’m a lebron hater, but this without being an incredible play is such an incredible play.
His ability to continually make the correct decision in a split second is mind boggling.
Immediately jumping out when the Warriors got the rebound.
The stutter in front of Klay.
The subsequent closer out on Steph.
Lebron gave klay the “let him shoot” defense
Only Steph will make you run away from a wide open generational shooter who you are closer to to begin with
Easy choice
i know klay’s a pro and all but if that were me it would destroy my confidence rest of the game
Kind of amazed at how washed Klay is. The conventional wisdom has always been that shooters will age very well and just turn into spot up guys like late career Ray Allen or Kyle Korver.
Something similar happened later in the game if I remember right. Steph was in the corner and someone else (Schroeder?) made the same defensive play

Big brain play but he runs so goofy 😭
Better to let Klay go off than Curry.
You can even see the assistant coaches waving him over to Curry too. Love to see LeBron locked in and still husting to execute their game plan.
Really just makes me think of all the “star” players who see themselves as too good play defense, while LeBron still out here chasing people around and winning playoff games.
