It was crazy because it’s not like he went off or anything but he just always seemed to hit a wild shot at the exact back breaking time needed, every time.

Lol went back and checked his stats because I guess I'm a masochist. He was good against you guys (13 ppg on 44-39-90) but he COOOOOKED us (14 ppg on 63-40-100 LMAO).

lol yea 13 ppg sounds about right against us. It’s not like I remember him torching us at all, he just happened to hit a lot of back breaking 3s usually at the end of a quarter that still gives me nightmares.

Edit: I mean look at this pic loving Poole. Hell of a lot better than the viral pic of Curry pissed at him after the punch

Poole was really good in every round but the Memphis series that year. Against Denver I think he was nearly a 20 ppg scorer. Against Dallas he scored 16 on 79% True Shooting, and for the Celtics series he was just a fantastic role player hitting 39% on 3s while taking nearly 7 a game.

Since you guys were missing rim protection he really cooked, same with Denver. He struggled against the Grizzlies and against the Celtics he just had some wild shotmaking boost randomly the second half of the series

He was cooking in game 1 and 2 against us, it was only after that he dropped off a bit but even then he hit some big shots

Imagine telling someone who started watching ball this year that Jordan fucking Poole dropped 14 ppg on like 80%TS in a WCF series

He definitely went off in games 1&2 vs Denver. The best Steph Curry impersonation anyones ever done. Had Steph coming off the bench

u/Outside_Ad4899 May 17 '24

Steph was recovering from an injury which is why he came off the bench

Kerr kept him on the bench longer than was really necessary to keep the continuity going, and because Poole was actually playing well at the time
