He better get used to it. Bro was doing the same with Steph and Klay on the court. One time it was so bad Steph got ejected

One time it was so bad Steph got ejected

wait is there a clip or highlight of that

[–] sergio_cor98@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don't have the link on me atm but basically Steph got frustrated with JP's shot selection and threw his mouthpiece in anger. Funny how JP went on to win that game for the dubs later on

[–] financial_goth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I mean let's not pretend he hadn't bought into the system at one point and obviously was a contributer in the 2023 run......until he got punched in the face.

How conveniently that's left out of the narrative now when people want to shit on Poole for not "buying in" to the Warriors system anymore after his team basically threw him under the bus multiple times PR wise.

Lol come on now.

Nahh.. saw how he ignored generational shooter with 4 seconds on the shot clock.

This mfer playing for himself. Hope Wiz has controls of their next 3 FRPs

[–] HalfEatenBanana@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah he may average 25 but it won’t be a winning 25 lol.

Plus he’s a straight up traffic cone on D. Never seen anything like it. Like a baby gazelle learning on to walk on an ice rink

[–] Mikegetscalls@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He never bought into the system though, even when he was playing well lol.

The second someone types poole on reddit someone has to remind everyone that Poole had a reason to sabotage an entire season. As if everyone of his teammates punched him in the dick and fucked his bitch. Buncha fuckin babies.

If Poole had punched draymond, and draymond proceeded to shank the entire season and pout, people would be barely holding back the n-word right now

[–] seanconnery69696@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

a pertinent question would be

do you actually think dray would play 'solo mid or feed' ball the way poole did (and still possibly will in the future)?

at least from the outside, it's always seemed like dray prioritizes

  1. winning
  2. money
  3. personal accolades

whereas poole is flipped to

  1. personal accolades
  2. money
  3. winning
[–] TheMagicalLlama@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lmfao I agree. If ur saying “who’s at fault” sure lock draymond up and whip him with lebrons belt. But if its “who should the warriors choose” it was never a question.

[–] beachguy82@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We don’t win in 2022 without Poole. Every warriors fan knows it’s true.

[–] Sneek88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Trust me. Every loser who was bullied as a child and never got over it brings up the punch. Kinda like what you're doing.

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. He was doing the same shit. He just shot better percentages so it was easier to ignore

[–] -qft@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He wasn't. Every aspect of his game was far better in 2022 and he was a reliable playmaker.

[–] by_yes_i_mean_no@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Poole was crying behind the scenes about not starting DURING the championship run. Curry had to come off the bench to start the Nugget series to make a point.

You are the one changing the narrative if you are pretending Poole was fully bought in until that incident tbh.

[–] -qft@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Poole was crying behind the scenes about not starting DURING the championship run.

No he didn't, where is any proof of this happening. I followed the Warriors closely in that playoff run.

Curry came off the bench because JP was averaging 30 before the playoffs and he needed time to adjust. No one pouted when JP went back to the bench.

Only dude crying in that playoff run was Draymond going haywire when he got benched in Celtics game 4 because he was garbage

[–] Rare-Profile6867@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Excellent point Steph mutha fin curry came off the bench to prove that’s it’s about the team

[–] lofitoasti@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Warriors immediately gave him an extension and supported him on every level from F.O. to Steph and Klay. Did you want them to cut Draymond or some shit wtf how was he thrown under the bus

when he threw his mouthpiece?

[–] Sy_Fresh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was at that game, it was such a crazy sequence….no one in the arena knew why Steph got ejected, I had to live on the refresh reddit button to find out it was another mouthpiece chucking incident…..and then Poole hit the game winning buzzer beater….then celebrated with Steph on the way to the locker room
