Klay with 14 treys and 52 points, and sat the entire 4th!

Thon got a good run today!

Lakers lose to a team even more pathetic than them in the Wolves, simply because EVERY SINGLE PLAYER REFUSES TO PLAY DEFENCE.

FFS.

Golden state are just wrong. Klay has done very little this season and quite poor shooting and then this game BOOM!!!

They have too many offensive weapons and match winners to contain.

My sentiments exactly, 24 threes is ridiculous

And made like 60% of them.

So not sure why you have an issue with the volume.

It’s just ■■■■■■■ insane that a bloke can jack up 24 treys in 27 minutes

Even more insane that he made most of them

I love that they sat him for the 4Q. This team has no interest in individual records, they play for each other and celebrate each other’s achievements

I’d love to play on that squad, you can see why KD and Boogie wanted in

Yep. It’s an easy path to rings, just ride on the coattails of an already great team…

Yes they were a great team before KD, however he has made them almost unstoppable.

As Stephen A Smith said, it was the weakest move by a superstar in the history of the NBA.

What championship team of the last 5-10 years hasn’t been stacked? There’s 30 teams in the comp, you’re going to have genuine star power to win it

Garnett, Pierce, Allen
LeBron, Wade, Bosh
LeBron, Kyrie, Love
Duncan, Parker, Leonard, Ginobilli
Shaq, Bryant, Rice, Harper

The beauty of the dubs is the team culture. OKC had three current MVPs at one stage- Durant, Harden and Westbrook - but they didn’t keep them because they weren’t prepared to sacrifice $ or shots for team success. Kyrie wasn’t prepared to play second fiddle to LeBron and IT was a cancer so the Cavs stopped being a contender.

Dubs on the other hand have a bloke who just broke the all time record for 3s in less than 3Q, is a 1st team all NBA defender, and who is more than happy to run and space the floor, set picks and play defense. Curry could score 40 a game but gives up shots. Durant gives up shots. Green and Iggy play their roles.

Yep, if you’re too caught up in hating on the best players, you’re going to miss enjoying them. You’ve got 3 of the top 5 shooters of all time on one team, all in their prime and you’re too busy begrudging them.

I’m as disappointed as the next person that the NBA isn’t competitive this year, and the last few years have been pretty much a foregone conclusion, but there’s nothing you can do about. Just enjoy what will probably be the last year of a great modern dynasty.

Kobe (6-21) and Mighty Mouse (5-21) have both let them fly before.

What’s interesting though is there are hardly any active players in the total FGA single game high list.

Thiess out now with heal injury…poor guy…just coming back from knee

He got good minutes against Detriot in the absence of Baynes and played well. Good role player…

Definitely. Was looking solid to start the year…Wanamaker another import we will look to
