Description: Klay Thompson is BACK! And here’s what you missed for the Warriors. #NBA #Klay Tech Channel- youtube.com/channel/UCaOQ3jU4h-pOzmW7qnMMxSQ Twitch- twitch.tv/mjallday2k Klay Thompson is back and here’s everything you missed from the game. Including the Klay snarl because the game wasn’t on national tv and because Klay Day was like a national holiday and there a lot of little tidbits. It had been 941 days since Klay Thompson played in an NBA game. Draymond Green wanted to be in the game for Klay, but was hurt and wasn’t supposed to play so he immediately fouled and subbed out. He played a total of 7 seconds. This actually counts as a game played so his season averages take a hit, **but he don’t care and you shouldn’t either.** The first play of the game for the Warriors was actually designed for Steph. Klay was supposed to come off a screen, and then pass it to Steph who was supposed to come off a screen. As Steve was drawing it up, Klay asked if they could switch sides because he likes to catch and shoot, Kerr was like no, there’s another option, but at that point he just gave in and run here and if you get it, shoot it. That’s Klay for you. He caught the ball and looked to drive and finish. Steph was actually coming off two of his worst games in his career, a 3-17 night and 1-10 from three, then 5-24 and 1-9 from 3, but with Klay in the first quarter, Steph hit his first 4 threes. Man was waiting for Klay to come back to be a splash bro. Later on in the game, Klay was used as a decoy in the second quarter, (4:22) when Otto Porter Jr fakes a handoff and both Cavs players ended up going at Klay. Otto gets an open lane, Jarret Allen has to rotate, but Looney sets an off-ball screen which gets Poole open because no one is there to switch or stunt, and bang. So Klay still got that presence. Now the one play you should know by now is this. A mismatch, and Klay’s dunk, Curry’s reaction, Klay’s snarl. Everyone pretty much loses their mind and rightfully so. On the Cavs head like he never left. Klay was actually put on Markennen for stretches, but when he guarded perimeter players, it was a mixed result like this play. It looks like he fouled him right here, but the replay shows otherwise and Klay was not happy with this at all. Klay was getting progressively better. They showed a graphic with his playing stretches like shifts like man was working 9-5 shifts. Klay shot 4 spin jumper fadeaways. And he made none. Actually, Klay only attempted two shots inside the paint. He took 16 jumpshots...16. Looney was going to set a screen right here, but Klay said I got this against the bigger, slower Markannen, and he did. And with his second 3, he hit 1800 career 3s. He’s the second fastest player in NBA history to hit 1800 3s, only behind Steph Curry. Also a Klay block. More Klay gravity with 2 defenders rushing at him. He still got it. Kevon Looney had a career high in rebounds at 18 including 9 offensive rebounds, probably because the Warriors missed a bunch of open shots and Klay jacking up a lot. Another three. At the end, Klay Thompson embraces with Kevin Love who is the only remnant of the Cavs team that Klay faced against in the NBA finals. But they actually grew up in the same city Lake Oswego in Oregon and were even in the same little league in baseball so this was a cool moment. Klay finished the game with 17 points including going 6 of 13 after the first quarter, and he’s back officially. And Curry’s son Canon gave him the game ball.
