They need more from Wigs and GP2 for defensive purposes and Poole is odd man out

So there's no chance his offense won't offset his lack of defense... nikkas is losing close games and that extra 15-20 pts from Poole could honestly be the difference.... because Lord knows triple single aint doing shyt but running around out there

Is this a new revelation? Dude was HIM just a season ago. Not gonna lie I managed to keep up before the all star game and Poole was looking good. Haven't been paying much attention except to the box scores recently.

He takes massively stupid shots, turns the ball over a bunch and plays horrible defense. He's really bad out there.

Harrison had a bad showing and they packed that man tf up with the quickness.... Warriors are supposed to be the big 4 rn of all drafted nikkas... well the big three and draymond... He deserved another chance. Im sure Harrison continues to develop under the warriors system and ends up being a better player than he is today
What team would turn down KD in his prime to keep Harrison Barnes?

One wild card here is that the Warriors had by far the biggest home/road disparity in the NBA this year. 33-8 at home, 11-30 on the road. So it's possible they're gonna clean up the act over the next two games, then all they have to do is steal one out of two in Sacramento.

That’s understandable but I’m assuming draymond will be suspended for 1-2 of their home games + the kings have the best road record in the west.

Well it looks like dude is gonna get the last laugh... if they beat the Dubs I'd like to see them face the suns at some point and then go all the way just for the poetic justice of it all

He's deceptive because he knows how to score and can really put points on the board, but the efficiency is terrible. And he's not a good defender. On a team with so much going for it, he can often take more than he's giving.

:ufdup:

He left to get a bag in Dallas and we picked up the best available wing on the market to replace him.

No victims, no villains.

Poole was never "HIM". Steph is the only HIM on the Dubs. Poole was/is a good scorer who's trash defense and decision-making is becoming a huge liability.

When he's not attacking the basket and getting to the line, playmaking,or hitting a high rate of 3s, he's useless.
