Steve Kerr’s Reaction To Klay Thompson Blowing Game For Warriors
Steve Kerr’s Reaction To Klay Thompson Blowing Game For Warriors
The Golden State Warriors lost to the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers by five points on Wednesday night.
One sequence in particular summed up not only how the Warriors’ season has been going for them thus far, but also the sort of player Klay Thompson has become as of late.
With Golden State trailing by six and less than a minute left in the game, Brandon Podziemski nailed a three-pointer to cut the Clippers’ lead to three.
Given that only 40 seconds remained on the clock, the Warriors simply needed one good defensive possession where they didn’t foul the Clippers in order to put themselves in position to snatch the game back.
Unfortunately, Thompson didn’t get that memo. Instead, he went for an intentional foul:

The reactions to Thompson’s blunder and Kerr’s response were roughly what one would expect given the circumstances:

It’s his fault for even bringing him back in the game. He is so scared to hurt egos

He is fed up. Klay really living off his name alone

That being said, some fans still defended Thompson’s decision:
Let’s be honest Russ isn’t the greatest FT shooter or shooter in general. So how is this a terrible foul?

In a week where Draymond Green pledged to not be Kevin Durant’s friend anymore, Thompson is still somehow the most embarrassing Warrior around.
That is telling.

The man is cooked.
What dumb mistakes will Thompson make for the Warriors as this nightmare of a season chugs along for him? Time will tell.
