As the league's feared "Splash Brothers", Curry and Klay have been the most successful combination of the past decade, and they have reaped tremendous success during this time. Not only did they prove that they could win a championship by shooting, they did it four times. Under the leadership of the Splash Brothers, the three-point shot is also becoming more and more relied on, making the Warriors one of the hottest teams in the league today. However, heroes also have their twilight, and with Klay's form declining sharply this season, this has also caused the Splash Brothers to exist in name only, and their power has plummeted.
The 35-year-old Curry is still the soul of this Warriors team. So far this season, he has played in 50 games for the Warriors, and he is averaging 33In 5 minutes of playing time, he was able to score 28 points and 44 rebounds, 5 assists, 08 steals 04 blocks and 46 percent from the field2% and 42 three-point shooting1% and 92 free throw percentage2%, averaging 5 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. Curry's performance this season is still very bright, playing a phenomenal performance. The 35-year-old Curry still maintains a very high level of competition, and he is still the most trusted player on this Warriors team. So far this season, Curry has scored a total of 1,401 points, which is the current scoring leader of the Warriors, and his performance is very strong.
** Fan Incentive Plan Although Curry is still playing well, the Warriors have reached the point of stormy this season, with only a 27-26 record, ranking 10th in the West and in the playoff ranks. Curry also often experiences the pain of empty cuts, and this season can be called the most difficult season of Curry's career!
On the other hand, the 33-year-old Klay Thompson's performance this season has been more up and down, and he seems to be extremely struggling. So far this season, Klay has played in 50 games for the Warriors, averaging 30 per gameIn 6 minutes of playing time, you can get 173 points 35 rebounds and 22 assists 06 steals 05 blocks and 42 percent shooting1%, 37 three-point shooting3% and 91 free throw percentage8%。Despite being a meritorious veteran of the Warriors, Klay's position with the Warriors this season has been extremely embarrassing, and many times he is even more ***. As young players such as Kuminga and Podemski continued to perform well, Klay's status in the team slipped further. In the last game against the Jazz, Klay was placed on the bench, which was also his first bench appearance since his rookie season, although Klay exploded a team-high 35 points in this game, but his team status and role decline is an indisputable fact.
Despite his struggles this season, Klay scored 866 points and was the team's second-leading scorer, behind Curry. Overall, the 35-year-old Curry has had some ups and downs this season, but it is clear that he has a strong ability to adjust and quickly regained his competitiveness. On the other hand, Clay, although there are occasional shining points this season, but combined with the overall performance of the season, Clay's performance is undoubtedly still slightly sluggish. In addition to the decline in offensive performance, Klay's defense is now a big leaker, and injuries have also made him lose his former defensive strength, which has also caused Klay to gradually stay on the bench at critical moments. Clay's decline has also greatly reduced the strength of the Splash Brothers, and the threat is getting smaller and smaller, maybe being a substitute is not a good thing for Clay!
Do you think Klay is more suitable to start or come off the bench based on his current form?
