none of them play defense lol dont matter
Idk why y'all bringing up GS as an undersized backcourt. Only reason Poole started the games he did this year was because either Steph or Klay was hurt. Once they were both back to full strength after Rd 1, Poole didn't start a single game the rest of the postseason.

It was Steph (who even if you want to say he's 6'1 and doesn't play defense, is still a god-tier talent).......out there on the perimeter with 6'6 Klay Thompson and 6'7 Andrew Wiggins getting the majority of the minutes

That's not true at all. The warriors are a very unselfish team with great coaching. Curry has stepped back while healthy and let Poole start a few games including in the playoffs. He has not complained or acted like a bytch, huffing and puffing while Poole went off and the warriors won. In fact, many great leaders, sat back and let the young guys step up. Their were also a few games where Klay or Green sat while healthy to let the young guys shine. That's the difference between them and us.

I'm sorry, I'm just venting cause this shyt is redundant and obvious as fukk.

Ok. The main point is he came off the bench the majority of the postseason, including all of the Finals. It's not like GS were starting two undersized guards for the duration of their run, that's not really a "thing" anymore

I expect him to get a more Shaun Livingston type role this season where, he'll start more games with Klay though.

Poole still averaged 27.5 minutes throughout the playoff run.

There was two line ups in particular that logged over an hour of game time throughout their playoff run that had Steph and Poole…

Steph-Poole-Thompson-Wiggins-Looney and Steph-Poole-Porter-Wiggins-Green their 5th and 6th most used line ups in the playoffs.

In the season the Warriors had line ups with Curry-Poole and Curry-Payton both technically undersized.

Their most used RS line up at 346 minutes of game time was Steph-Poole-Wiggins-Green-Looney

Their most effective plus minus RS line up was Steph-Poole-Thompson-Wiggins-Looney

Even though the line-ups contained the god Steph there were at least 7 undersized backcourts that I named that won historically and like 3 I named that reached the Finals.

Mitchell is coming off playing with another 6’1 backcourt mate in Conley they peaked at 52 wins and an WCSF which is as good as any Knicks team of the last 20 years.

Their best plus minus line up in the PS was Steph-Poole-Porter-Wiggins-Green

Help me understand how throwing out +/- is an argument for what I'm saying. Steph was on the court more with Klay/Wigs than he was with either of them & Poole, correct?

Steph is 6’2 and Poole is 6’4 that’s considered undersized.
Try to make two 6'1 players sound less tall by comparing them to two players that are taller than them brehs

Try to sound reasonable by making comparisons to a duo containing one of the greatest shooters/guards of all time brehs

nikka did you think about this before you hit send?
