Rose was explosive but let’s not make it out to be some super unique level of athletic ability. He never did this ….

This Warriors Grizzlies game is a ton of fun. Poole and Jackson really dueling

I saw your pre-edit typo of “Karen Jackson” and laughed.

The one time I wasn’t trying to dig at MSU too

Im a total NBA playoff bandwagon fan (I think the lack of effort and player-resting culture during the regular season is just super boring, though I get that the teams are totally incentivized to do it…just make the season shorter!!), and dont follow contract stuff close at all…but would anyone be mad at the Pistons for paying Poole whatever he is worth after this season? Seems like a great fit next to Cade/Bey and then you can draft one of the unicorns instead of Ivey?

My goodness does Poole got an offensive set of skills. Gonna make $250 million barring injury.

Golden State will pay him whatever he wants too and I’m sure he’d rather play for the Warriors than the Pistons.

But I do agree that if he was an option he’d be an incredible fit on the Pistons.

He’ll make $250 mill before he turns 30.

Klay walked down to the end where he missed foul shots to talk smack to the Memphis fans there

He and Steph had a nice moment with Ja’s dad (who has quickly become my favorite court-side fan)

Poole led the Warriors in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and +/-. Kinda crazy.

I was wondering why he walked down there!

That would’ve really hurt if they lost after he missed both FTs

He had an incredible game. And even though he got beat badly on D sometimes, he actually made some good defensive plays as well.

I would love for the Pistons to get him but I think, as someone mentioned, GSW will likely offer him a contract. He can win championships now as long as Draymond, Steph, and Klay are playing. He won’t and shouldn’t move.

BTW here’s his performance vs the Grizzlies 31 pts 9 AST 8 REB 5-10 from 3. 60% FG
