To be fair to Klay he did say "at the time" of said game; when emotions were running high and they'd just lost their first game of the season. It wasn't like it was necessarily how he felt when he said that quote (after he had time to reflect), where he added "but I'd have been fired up too" - so he knew where they were coming from.




So then what was the point in bringing it up then after he had time to reflect...to say "I was in my feelings then but I get it now"? Regardless of the emotional context, it is still hypocritical for his mind to go there with the way that he and his teammates carry on.

There's difference between doing that (which pretty much every team does) and doing what the Bucks did (which no fan should have a problem with, as it's all part what makes this game what it is).

The issues isn't the similarity of these things, the issue is class.

To illustrate how he felt at the time. Which was again backed up by his other comments - "The staredown & trying to talk mess @ the end of the game like that, it's like alright, u realize u see us next Fri. We’ve got to send a message to them when they come to our building". I wouldn't say it's hypocritical as much as it was reacting to what happened. There's probably part of him that took offense because he played like shyt.

It is when you're claiming that the Warriors aren't exactly the epitome of class, yet only ONE player spoke about it - not the entire team - a player who doesn't really mouth off (unless provoked) or celebrate as the Bucks did.

We also don't know what was said - Klay did specify that he was talking about "some of those guys" - which probably isn't talking about them simply celebrating a win as one might celebrate hitting a shot. We can't be really calling him hypocritical if MCW and others said some shyt that Klay isn't typically to say during/after a game.

You can react to something hypocritically while taking offense after playing like shyt. None of these things are mutually exclusive. Words like class are not circumstantial.

He's on the team though :heh:. I'm sure every member of the Bucks wasn't behaving exactly the same but he didn't single out the worst offenders, he referenced the whole unit. He rides with nikkas that talk shyt and do all kinds of demonstrative shyt (and does his share). Class is all about not responding when provoked.

He wasn't referencing the whole unit - probably best to read next time breh -

:comeon: You win all bets are off, you got the right to celebrate how you want. If the situation was reversed, like it likely will be tomorrow :heh: and some Bucks were crying about "class" you and others would be saying :camby: "You shoulda beat them then :Rileysheadonumad:" and rightfully so.

Still didn't specify. Some of those guys could be 2 guys or 8. It's still a blanket statement.

Of course you do. But you can't accuse him of being hypocritical when we don't know what went down on the court after the game. You'd have an argument if they were just celebrating a win - but Klay specifically said SOME of them (I take it as the ones talking some shyt). Klay would only be a hypocrite if he said something similar to an opposing team in a similar situation - referencing a picture where he's sticking his tongue out after hitting a three isn't hypocritical.

So now he gotta name names? It's not a blanket statement, he said "some of those guys" not the whole unit like you were referring to. :heh:

He's a hypocrite for celebrating how he chooses when shyt goes right for him and then getting in his feelings when the shoe is on the other foot for the first time in 6 months.

Every player on the Bucks roster, shyt their bench, is fair game based off those statements. There is absolutely 0 indication as to whom he was referring to.

Nope, that doesn't make him a hypocrite. He can celebrate how he chooses as every other team can, however since we don't know what was said by "some" of the players towards Klay and/or his team - you and others can't say he's hypocritical (much less the rest of the team when they didn't say shyt about class) as if he's guilty of saying something similar.

For all we know the ones in question could've said some 'you're bytchass halfbreed fakkit who's never going to win shyt again in your life' type shyt.

:dahell:

He said "some of those guys". We don't need to be stretching this point out more than that just because you didn't read the quote properly.

The issue is class. If you and you cohorts regularly behave in a less than classy way you have no basis to be taking shyt to class, period.

Stretching the point is making up quotes and talking about everything but class :heh:. I've made my point about the blanket statement clear and there is no real rebuttal.

It isn't as simple as that and you know it. We don't know what was said nor should you reference pictures of them celebrating threes as if it's a branch of hypocrisy. I don't particularly like it when a player uses "class" in sports either (it's beyond corny), but I'm not going to call one a hypocrite if I don't know whether or not he's guilty of doing/saying something similar. Nor am I going to infer that a whole team can't be talking about "class", when only ONE player actually brought it up, and then again post pictures of them celebrating after hitting a shot.

I'm sure every member of the Bucks wasn't behaving exactly the same but he didn't single out the worst offenders, he referenced the whole unit.
When the direct quote was - "We thought at the time they could have won with a little more class some of those guys, but I'd have been fired up too." And then trying to argue semantics about how he didn't single anyone out, as if "some of those guys" isn't valid enough.
