Klay has 22 games where he played less than 30 mpg: [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/which-games-has-klay-played-in-with-less-than-30-mins-this-season](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/which-games-has-klay-played-in-with-less-than-30-mins-this-season)
and 3 games where he did not play, where warriors went 3-0: [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/how-many-games-did-warriors-win-when-klay-does-not-play-this-season](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/how-many-games-did-warriors-win-when-kly-does-not-play-this-season)
Out of the 22 games where he had <30 mpg, Warriors have a record of 13-9: [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=which+games+has+klay+played+in+with+less+than+30+mins+this+season+win%2Floss](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=which+games+has+klay+played+in+with+less+than+30+mins+this+season+win%2Floss)
Thus, resulting in a record of 16-9 where Klay either DNPs or plays less than 30mins.
​
At this stage in his career, he should not be playing any more than 30mpg. This is on Kerr for enabling him, despite his limitations. No amount of talking through things and coming to “realizations” will fix this. It’s time for MDJ and Lacob to step up this off season and make some tough decisions.

I’ve seen enough, bring in cyborg CP3 (seriously, when is my boy coming back? We NEED him)
I do not understand how he literally said he will take a lesser role and Kerr still plays him 30 minutes? And in a game when he’s not playing well. Play Moody and GP2 a few more minutes and cut down Klay’s minutes.
I don’t want him back on this team next year for any money. Sorry, appreciate what you did but time for you to go.
Another coach on another team doesn’t have to worry about his legacy here or something and they won’t hesitate to make him a 5 min garbage time show which is the caliber of player he is at right now
Stupid stats lol. You will see the same stats with curry because when Steph plays <30 mins it means we entered garage time early and Steph doesn’t need to play.
It’s not a coincidence e
This is deja vu with Poole last year. Every. Single. Time. He touches the ball, I fully expect something terrible to happen. If I never saw another minute of Klay Thompson, I’d die happy.
They’re also 33-8 with Dray and Steph but no Klay since he came back from injury
They’re 39-35 when Klay plays with both
I guess Kerr believes numbers lie. Or he’s just worried coddling his ego of a narcissistic man child
Where was moody?! Dude was literally doing all the things Russ was doing for the clippers and yet no where to be seen in the 4th. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned that
***IN THE THREE GAMES KLAY DIDN’T PLAY THE WARRIORS ARE 3-0***
Reverse jk treatment. Make him hot some checkboxes to play more
Kerr should have benched him after his first shot of the game was a flat footed contested three off a pump fake nobody bit on.
Yeah he’s washed. If he isn’t hitting shots then he is actively hurting the team. Today is just more evidence that he will never change, it has to be forced upon him.
Steph gotta put his foot down and stop letting Klay burn what time the warriors have left
2/3 of the season is over. No more excuse of a slow start. Klay is starting to look like a tank commander.
Off season? That’s too late.
It’s a problem with the whole team. Klay for playing like crap, the team for encouraging klay to “be klay” and keep shooting cause all he needs is one and then he’ll hit five in a row, and Kerr for continuing to play him.
I’ve been told repeatedly that we need the “SPACING” that only Klay can provide.
Klay should take a mental break. These performances are becoming too common.
So it wasn’t “the kids.” Turns out Klay was holding back Steph this whole time.
Moody is literally out there fighting for his damn life and Klay just casually chucks shots like it’s Saturday afternoon at Venice Beach. Shit is whack.
Klay in the month of February is averaging 13 ppg on 14 fga per game and shooting 37% from the field and 24% from three. All while playing no defense. Bench. This. Guy. Goddamn Kerr.
Lol you could do this with arbitrary cut offs for any of the players.
Warriors are 13-16 when Podz plays 25 or more minutes and 13-10 when he plays fewer than 25 minutes.
Warriors are 8-10 when Steph plays more than 34 mins and 15-14 when he plays fewer than 34 mins.
Warriors are 3-6 when Dray plays more than 30 mins and 23-20 when he plays 30 mins or less.
43M 🎒for 30
I had said early on in the season it was a matter of time before this sub caught up on what Klay was doing out there. People killed me for it. It’s nice to see everyone on the same page.
Wouldn’t this number be close for most teams, I’m just thinking of he’s playing less mins we are probably up big in the 4th
Miss leading stat… when Klay is on a heater he doesn’t play more than 30 minutes either
