Klay Thompson's averaging 34.5 PPG on 60.4% TS over the Dubs' 5-game winning streak without Steph Curry, but beyond just the scoring, he's elevated his play all-around. I wanted to highlight the under-discussed aspects of his game that he's taken to the next level. (1/x) 🧵

Watch Steph Curry defend 3 different players in this one possession: Cuts off Brogdon's drive, steps up in help to quell Brown's attack, then rotates to cover the interior pass to Kornet. I truly believe he's one of the best guard defenders in the NBA.

As a non-shooting threat, teams will sag off Russ to provide help. Russ countered this by cutting, which also put him at his strengths (attacking/finishing) Harden draws Russ’ man with his drive and Russ cuts to get in position for the pass and finishes.

Steph Curry turns 34 years old today, but there's a reason why that feels just totally off He currently holds the 2nd highest PPG in games after turning 30 at 28.0, trailing 1st place Damian Lillard (!) by just 0.1 31.1 PPG to close the szn would net him #1 👀 @StephenCurry30

In the midst of his shooting struggles, I think people (myself included) have forgotten who Klay Thompson really is. Shooting #s will be up and down for everyone, but only a few players can take their play to another level when needed. Klay is doing it once again. (x/x)

Denver's defense is the most unique "good defense" in the league They have one base coverage (high hedge) but execute that extremely well due to their personnel. I questioned whether they had the requisite backline defenders but MPJ has made immense growth in that regard this yr
