I agree that it's a bad start for him but maybe he's not yet composed as this is just a preseason and there's no Luka in action too. Well, this is nothing new to him that he didn't contributed a lot based on the output of scores. Anyway, there are still more games to come for him and he might just recover from this stats that he's got. And the internet always look at how bad performances are but eventually praising those exceptional games.

I do not think he goes for mental issues all that much, he is one of those players who forget a bad game and move to next one pretty quickly, doesn't feel like he is going to do anything major about these. I understand it may not feel great at the moment, but I feel like he is going to forget this one and move further as well. Plus, he is a good player and we know this, not like he is a shock to anyone, he is a great shooter and a good defender, we know what he is capable of.

But even with that in mind, last year on play-in he didn't do well, and maybe he will not do well in some games this season as well, we can't expect him to shoot 5-6 threes every game, there will be games where he is not going to be good like this one. We need to just adjust to reality Klay Thompson isn't as good as he used to be, which is fine and I believe we are going to see this not changing all too much, we are going to see them do fine with what they have long term.

Klay Thompson vs. the Clippers tonight:

0 PTS
0/9 FG
0/6 3PT

I don’t mean to keep piling on the Klay is washed club, but he’s not exactly shooting the lights out so far in Dallas. He’s basically not even playing as good as Bronny James Jr. Hopefully things get better for him but I have my doubts.

Perfect performance for Klay Thompson. He executed flawlessly his last game performance during the play-in match of GSW. Cheesy

Kidding aside I think there’s something wrong already on the shooting form of Klay. It’s very hard to comprehend how come a sharp shooter can’t even do a single basket on a game while he has a lot of FGA.

He is either struggling physically or mentally. He should take a rest or else his career will be washed up early.

There was one particular highlight from yesterday that is sure to haunt Klay Thompson. There was a turnover and he was wide open at the three point line, but they passed the ball right by him to a slightly less wide open player in the corner who hit the shot. If Klay Thompson isn’t getting the ball for wide open threes, he’s basically useless.

There's a big consideration and I hope that they're not going to disappoint the fans on what he's showing right now. His experience really helped him to adjust with the big man that they have whom is Zach. Well, it's too early to tell with this line up but very promising one when the regulars come.

With how he played the game, I'm also in that same impression that the management willl give him decent contract to play and be part of their rotations, he got the talent and with that familiarity playing with big men he can maximize the full potential of Zach, though not sure if he'll get that minutes when the regular season begin.

We can only guess that he'll get the playing time that he's getting right now. But with shorter playing time that's tested on him, he seems so effective. And let's just hope for the best that the Grizzlies management is recognizing that opportunity that's giving to him and he's not just playing around but utilizing all of those minutes that are given to him.

Knowing that Ja' and the rest of their starters will be playing and will take most of those minutes, just looking for positive things for him and how to see him playing as he's adding additional entertainment when he's inside facilatating their offense.

Ja is probably liking the guy and with all of the scorers that are in there, they need a guy like Yuki as the playmaker as he knows his job as a point guard.

The injury I hated to see was Paul George hurting his knee already. I hoped the 76ers would at least be full strength to start the season. Philadelphia sure has a lot of money tied up in their big 3 for injuries to already become an issue for them. Hopefully they have better luck for the rest of the season.

Not the best timing, especially with the regular season just around the corner. Hopefully, it’s nothing major, because the last time he had a similar injury back in 2023, he was out for weeks. Early in the season, it's not a huge deal yet, as long as Embiid is on the court, the team can still compete.

I'm monitoring from this

Things got a little heated in the Knicks vs Timberwolves preseason game today. Donte DiVincenzo Seems a little upset about the trade…

https://x.com/bleacherreport/status/1845628567540973731

I don't know why Rick Brunson is having a beef with DiVincenzo but I bet Donte has received a message that Rick was part of the reason why he was traded, just my guess. But Donte needs to move on, I know he likes playing with the Villanova brothers but he is on a better team now and he must show it to them and silence them all.
Tell the Knicks they made a mistake through his actions and success. I am betting for the Timberwolves to win this year and I bet he will be a big part of that when they make it to the top.

Is he on a better team now? Knicks and Wolves are both top echelon teams. I'm sure donte is a little salty knowing he wanted to stay there with the kmicks and ride this thing out. In terms of brunson no clue but brunson isn't going to be part of any deals Leon rose makes. It's Leon's job to put 5 on the court the coach can take all the way to a chip. These guys know the business and it isn't personal.

Yeah, it might be that. Donte could've been enjoying the company of his Villanova brothers and when he was kicked out he got bitter. Cheesy

Well, I guess we will never know its backstory since I doubt someone will talk.
Well, for me, the Timberwolves are a better team, or maybe because we didn't see the full strength of the Knicks when OG and Randle were hurt and cannot help out during their playoff stint. We will see it this year on which team is the better one.

Well, he did have almost the same stats a few times in the Warriors uniform after the injury which I think he should be thinking about. Mentally, I know Klay is still hurt and there could be glimpses of being afraid to get hurt again. The Mavs will badly need him and this cannot happen.

I was also impressed with how Yuki Kawamura plays during this pre-season. He's really impressing the team, the management and his teammates. I would love to cheer for him if ever the Grizzlies will give him a better and more decent contract for the regular saeson.

Yuki Kawamura is fun to watch, its like he has something new to perform each game he play. I think he deserve to get a contract from Grizzlies since their rotation became so good when he plays around. He's good to be their floor general and for sure that he brings good help to their campaign.

Let see if there's good development will happen and if Grizzlies would let Yuki Kawamura to be part of their roster this season.

One thing that many will say; still 'pre-season' Grin

But totally bad to start for him. This might affect his mental toughness since imagine that his zero point performance again became a trend again and to many criticism he receive towards that performance.

Didn’t he have an injury? Maybe he’s still feeling it, which could explain why he’s not comfortable with his shooting right now. I know his shooting percentage has dropped, but being scoreless in the preseason really stands out. It kind of reminds me of when he was scoreless during the play-in game while he was still with the Warriors--a game that mattered a lot for the team.

Yes he's hurt and reported to have back tightness which provably the main reason why he perform like that. Refer to this article regarding on this report https://thesmokingcuban.com/klay-thompson-suffers-injury-after-just-one-game-with-dallas-mavericks

He's shooting percentage really decline and for what happen for past games we can really see that he's not the Klay we used to see way back on GSW. Hopefully he can recover and do more better performance in regular season. Its to bad to see a downfall like this and especially that we used to see him perform so good and bring good impact to his past team.

The injury I hated to see was Paul George hurting his knee already. I hoped the 76ers would at least be full strength to start the season.

Is it just me or does wemby look a little bit more buffed? If he can keep some strength to him then he is going to be great and he is going to get better stats as well. I still think Spurs will suck this season, there is no way we can see them do fine, but at the end of the day they are not really looking to win right now neither. They are going to see the team building for some more time.

Yes, I saw some of his old pics when he was just starting and today, and it seems that he has gain some muscles as well. Although his frame is too big and it might take some to really see a big transformation, just like Giannis before wherein the latter gain 50 pounds o pure muscles thru hard work and it didn't change his speed but he become so scary.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/10/15/83iIg.png

This is how powerful the NBA is, for sure he still has a lot of room for improvements for that 20-year-old body during his rookie days, he already dominating plus he was the rookie of the year 2024.
Having already the height as being center, now for sure the focus on him is being tough where he will become solid and anti for backs out every rebound.

Yeah, those equipments that already available and those knowledge from nutritionist who can assist and guide him for the betterment and improvement of his health we might see more in terms of gaining muslces, I like the way Spurs is developing him not in the rush but for sure just like how they build Timmy before sooner or later he might see that same or maybe better potentials for Wemby.

With him doing his best to gain muscles and maintain that speed, we already seen things like this from Giannis like how it was mentioned from the post before you.

That no look pass, and then a drop off pass was the highlight of the game. We can even see Ja Morant giving him pointers too. So let's see if Memphis is going to extend his contract and so if that happens, we will have another Japanese in the NBA after Yuta Watanabe.

I would love to cheer for him if ever the Grizzlies will give him a better and more decent contract for the regular saeson. While Yuta Watanabe has already announced his retirement to the NBA and focusing on the league's in his own country. There's probably a better role for Yuki since there's height difference between the two and as for their roles inside the court.

Here we go, just as I feared, haha. Sure off nights happen but in the preseason you want to be ready, and this doesn't look very ready. Just like the previous when he had the biggest negative +- of all players. Hope for him he will turn it around and this was just a slight hickup but if he doesn't get a hang on this quick this experiment might have failed early.

I don't know, but it looks like he isn't even trying though? And yeah, I do agree, it looks like he is not season ready yet. Hopefully, this is just one of the games that he is not taking it seriously. There were moments wherein someone stole the ball from him from behind and he didn't even get back in defense.

Quote from: AHOYBRAUSE on October 15, 2024, 04:36:28 AM

Something else, anybody follow Yuki Kawamura in Memphis? After a nice world cup performance by him for team Japan he got a chance to play for Memphis (I think it's an "exhibit-10 contract"at the moment) and even though he is just 173cm short he definitely looks like he belongs, at least in the preseason obviously.
His stats so far are solid as well: https://www.nba.com/player/1642530/yuki-kawamura

His passing especially is quite flashy and will be seen in some highlight reels I think. Hopefully he can somehow fight is way in the main rotation and stay in the NBA since 1 Japanese guy in Yuta Watanabe left to back and play in Japan.

That no look pass, and then a drop off pass was the highlight of the game. We can even see Ja Morant giving him pointers too. So let's see if Memphis is going to extend his contract and so if that happens, we will have another Japanese in the NBA after Yuta Watanabe.
