Anyone Watch Klay Score 37 Points in The 3rd Quarter?

9-9 from 3 in the 3rd. The Warriors made the best move of the offseason not trading him for Kevin Love. Love would have taken Draymond Green's minutes too.

I can't see anyone beating the Warriors if they are relatively healthy, even in the loaded West. Too many weapons, too deep. Steve Kerr has made a huge difference. With Mark Jackson, their offense was often stagnant despite having great options. OKC has been very stubborn and stupid keeping Scott Brooks around for so long. Coaching matters, even in the NBA.

In the East, Cleveland is coming along, but I think the Hawks and Bulls are better. I don't think the Hawks are going to only be a good regular season team. They are legit. The Hawks frontcourt would destroy Cleveland's and their role players all fit well. They don't have a superstar, but they have three borderline All Stars, Kyle Korver, and a couple other good role players. They also have a very good coach.

Klay is my favorite Cuog of all time.

Romar dodged a bullet by refusing to offer Klay a scholarship.

Would be interesting for Atlanta to win a title without a true superstar (all nba 1st or 2nd), first since the Pistons? However I have to disagree with @RoadDawg55‌ that their guys aren't all-stars.

Atlanta is the Karl Sonics. They'll crash in the playoffs

But who would play the MJ role? Durant's struggling to lock up the eighth seed, Duncan's probably done. Klay and Steph?

I don't think so. If they do it will be the Bulls who beat them. The Hawks will score 120 against the Cavs. Their starting line up all averages over 11 per game. Their bigs can pass and knock down jumpers. They have a very good bench too. It's a well put together roster. They make you guard everyone and run the same system as the Spurs.

@ThomasFremont, Horford is an definitely an all star. Teague should be one. He's really underrated, but doesn't have the hype that Irving, Lowry, or Wall do. Millsap is a really good player that is borderline.

I el oh el at those that say wait until the Warriors have a shooting slump in the playoffs - how many open shots do they get? They are beatable if Bogut isn't healthy - but very little chance of he is.

East most likely will be Hawks or Bulls - the Wiz are the wild card team

If you see the tape of Klay going god mode in the 3rd qtr, most of those shots were a high level of difficulty. He wasn't just hitting wide open gimme shots. And Curry is an even better shooter. I don't see them both having a shooting slump for long enough to impact a 7 game series.
