I’ve been ragging on Klay’s approach all season and going back to last season, so this isn’t just a one-game knee-jerk reaction. With his diminished defensive skill set, he’s pretty one dimensional at this point. If his shot is falling, he can still hurt teams, but if his shot isn’t falling, the only team he hurts is the Warriors.

In my mind, he’s really no longer one of those guys you have in the starting/closing lineups without question. It’s time to stop pretending that he is, but Klay seems oblivious to that truth and has some ego issues. His ā€œfour ringsā€ bullshit with Booker earlier showed his fragility, IMO. If his shot isn’t falling, his approach seems to be, ā€œClearly, I’m not taking tough enough shots.ā€

I think I this could really turn into a bigger problem if Klay and the team can’t come to an understanding that his past accomplishments doesn’t mean his effort and approach can’t be questioned. He needs to be held accountable. They’re gonna pay this guy $44M next year and he’s going to want an extension for after that and I see his chucking getting worse at that point.

We’re 2.5 seasons from his last surgery and he still can’t play back-to-backs? That mucks up everyone else’s role in the rotations. Time to try something else like starting DDV or Poole. At least they can both create offense for others when their shot isn’t falling. Or how about Kuminga?

I’m beginning to think the throwing-of-the-switch may depend on players from other teams, but I’m not talking about trades. I’m talking about *disrespect*. This is the #nothingLeftToProve season and it shows. For the first time ever(?) the dubs are playing without any kind of chip on their shoulder. Everyone is being so nice (sorry Austin Rivers, you don’t count). We need someone with very bad manners to say something thoroughly *ill-advised*. Boston fans will only get you so far. Who can put it that precious chip back? Dillon Brooks? MJ?
