Jordan Poole stats in the 2023 NBA Playoffs

[DMAVS41]

Dray is the real leader and thats WHY the punch occurred... he's the alpha of the team. Does what he wants. If Curry was an actual leader, Dray would be put in his place and would NEVER think to punch a budding superstar who was putting up 26/5/5 on elite efficiency last year with Curry out of the lineup.


So curry is to blame here... not making it work with such a young supreme talent is just sad. Another failure by the one-dimensional curry.

Cool story, tell us more about how KD is the best player in the league and has great leadership.

Carried Irving to the playoffs when Luka couldn't make the play-in. Averaged 34/9/4 on 63% TS in his 1st playoff stint without the Warriors and would've won with a healthy cast.

Carried the Nets and Suns all regular season this year.



Stuff curry and dirk wouldn't be close to capable of in the same situations.

[DMAVS41]

Again, cool story...another season...another loss...a blowout loss as the leader of the team.

Epic...he must be the best player and leader in the league.

Guy has a teammate averaging 34/5/7 (69% TS) in the playoffs and he can't sniff the conference finals.

Yeah he's a ****ing beast. Fits with anyone. Gave Booker the ability to have the playoffs of his life after scoring in the low 20's vs the Mavs.


30/9/6 on 60% TS while being their best defender is a huge failure. Looks better than Dirks best run and Dirk didn't play D.

Cool stats...it's almost as if he plays for stats and not for the team.

L after L after L...unless, of course, he's playing on maybe the best team ever...and even with that...was ****ing lucky to win in 18 as he was derailing the Warriors style with his iso / selfish nonsense and would have lost if Paul didn't get hurt.

L

What happened though? You said Suns would win...maybe Durant's inefficiency and turnovers and lack of leadership cost his team?

Nah I think their all-time bad bench and losing their 3rd and 4th option had more to do with it.



But nice take. Sound pretty desperate.

You can tell by eye test and impact gauging metrics confirm that he has empty stats. Look at RAPM or Raptor or Espn’s RPM and for KD’s entire career he’s never scored well in any of them. He doesn’t bring you anything past his box score. And like you said he tends to derail and hijack the offense to get that as well.

factor that in with a sulky and pouty demeanor with thin skin and no real leadership abilities…it’s not a mystery why he’s underachieved for his entire career minus the Golden State years.

I've already written how the Warriors botched the situation of Greene decking Poole. How it contaminated the team culture. Poole does have the skill to be a great player; he's showed that. But it has to be for another team. The chemistry can't be fixed.

As a young player, he's emotionally not handled the situation well, as one may expect for someone of his age (evidenced by this still being angry at Greene, snapping at him, as well as his poor play). Poole felt he arrived with the 128 Million contract, but according to the Big 3, he still had to prove himself. It's an awkward position for a young guy to be in. With his own arrogance, he's pushed them away from mentoring him, where instead they sit back and let him try to show he's worth the money they paid him.

GSW org is usually high-EQ but in this case, they've lost the plot. Including assuming they need to keep Poole and the team will eventually mesh. They won't. The best they can hope for is dealing him and taking what they can get.

I'm talking about why Durant struggled so much if he was supposed to be the best player on the court...especially when his teammate was roasting the other team. Just too hard on Durant to only have one all-nba level teammate playing great? He needs two or three to make it out of the 2nd round?

Interesting.

With that contract...he'll likely have negative value right now. Probably best to get him going in the regular season and then move him after he rebuilds some value.

Looking back...probably the real mistake was not moving Kuminga. If you aren't going to play him...he has decent enough value to improve the roster for this year and maybe next to get a vet or two. The Warriors badly needed a couple extra vets that could play...especially when this might be the last great chance at a title.

Him struggling is putting up 30/10/5 on good efficiency while allowing his teammate to have career outings thanks to his gravity....

Dirk won putting up 25ppg on 40% and playing no D.


Butlers team hung around when he was shooting poorly in the 1st half. Curry's team stuck around. Tatums team stuck around.


KD's team went down by 30 after he sat.

You're a moron brotha. So desperate.

It wasn't good efficiency. 54.8% TS in this league is not good efficiency. The **** you talking about? This is 2023...not 2003.

Again, stats!!!!!...guys as good as Durant that play for stats are going to have great stats. Too bad they don't help their teams as much as they should in the process because they can't play within a team concept.

Its crazy how big of a break that was, for everyone but especially KD.

Similar to Kobes 2010 game 7 with the refs bailing him out and Perkins injury allowing all the off rebounds.

It really was. His legacy without the 18 title and finals MVP...with a loss to the Rockets...is so much worse than it is now...even though most of what he gets now is based off the Warriors.

Such a huge break as it would have either been a title for Paul/Harden or another one for Lebron.

Crazy...I'm not even a fan of Paul/Harden, but people forget how good that Rockets team was. Morey built an unreal good team given the circumstances.
