Watched the last years WCF.. man Poole was amazing, I believe after the punch he was never the same and it does something to his psyche. I hope we will give this man some time to work on his mind and his game and believe he will bounce back next season, hope he and Dray will work things out and I heard that before that incident they are so close and like brothers. Dray took him in his wings and teach him how to approach the game the right way. Hope our Team will find a way to make things better and keep the Foundational 6 intact and go for another title run together 💯💪🙏☝️

Idk, I’m much of a Poole fan as much as a Warriors fan, and he’s wasting his talent in the Warriors right now. I want Poole to go to a different team, preferably something like the Spurs since Pop can set some sense into him and help him regain that swagger. Playing with Wemby is an added bonus. Westbrook improved leagues with the Clippers than the Lakers, and that gives me hope for Poole. The Warriors are too focused on the veterans for the young guns to develop, with Moody being a special case. BBIQ improvements comes with playing in actual games, not watching tape all day long.
Poole has checked out. He will never be the same on THIS team. We need to trade him for assets man. Draymond ruined him.
We had a much better roster last year. I think that could help Poole to.
Read the title and immediately started looking at his ears 😂
Only 10 shots…
He was still tryna get the bag then so he could spend 5mins with iceyspicey. Now, the dates over and she took all his money so he’s a sad panda.
Imagine having to deal with the trash talk about how Draymond beat his ass from other players and other fans all season long. Sports psychologists exist for a reason
Punch didnt do anything. He just didnt get better during the off season and it showed
You live by the three you die by the three
my theory is after he got the bag
This is some serious copium.
Lol no he wasn’t, he was pretty good. He was great against Denver
See that 3 point attempt and his FG attempt? He didn’t force shots and he scored 23 points.
Poole ppg by playoff series:
2022
R1 – 21.0
R2 – 17.8
WCF – 16.4
FIN- 13.2
2023
R1 – 12.0
R2 – 8.3
Poole was slimmer last year and hence faster. His movement this year has been lethargic at times which has nothing to do with the punch. He needs to learn how to move with the new muscle he has put on
Can’t wait for next years poole party !
Let’s see what will happen next season, but for me i will keep our Foundational 6ix. 💯
I have the whole series saved in my google drive, bruh.
Everybody knows the punch had a big impact. But the way he was singled out more than any other player in the league at the beginning of the season for travels and double dribbles etc. had a huge impact as well. Put them both together, and it was a 1-2 punch that messed up his mojo. There is no doubt more to it than that. He has a huge ego that makes it hard for him to take criticism constructively, and frankly the difference in his play between starting and coming off the bench was at least 50% his immaturity – he comes across as more motivated by sucking up glory in the limelight than by the joy of playing excellent basketball.
But if the team is confident they can work it out, why shouldn’t I be. Despite the fact that I was sick of his shit by the end of the season, I can give him 10 games into next season to see how he does.
He was hot and confident.
