And folks think they’re gonna have a lockout
Like I said in that load management thread, owners are making more money than ever
or they just give it to the guy that hit 7 threes and scored 38 points on great efficiency. Poole also dashed back at draymond once he inbounded it bc he wanted to do a handoff screen with Draymond.

Draymond had nobody around him when the Suns went to double Poole, and he would've received the ball with around five seconds left on the clock, which would've been enough time for him to find the open man. There was nobody within 16ft of Otto, who would've had enough time to set his feet and get off a wide-open shot. That turnover a minute prior was more miscommunication and a lack of awareness from Otto to slip off his man and cut to the rim, which Dray wanted him to do. What happened there was a completely different scenario to what could've eventuated on that final play with Draymond catching the ball with nobody around him, and then passing the ball to Otto, again, with nobody around him.
Poole passing the ball to Dray and letting him find the open man was the higher percentage play, and not Poole trying to draw a foul on a 3-pt shot.
Nah, g, I didn't watch the game. I just watched the box score.
Nobody is acting like that. But it's another thing altogether to actually get the other team to foul you while you're in the midst of taking a shot in that situation. You can see on that play that both Booker and Crowder positioned themselves to block Poole off rather than run specifically to foul him. If the truly wanted to foul him, they would've ran at him a lot sooner before he even had a chance to reach halfcourt. Both of them would've been cognizant of the fact Poole's confidence was high after a career-night where he needed a three in that situation, and they would've played off that.
This is more anecdotal rather than looking at the play, itself.
Fact is, they would've had a greater chance at winning that game had Poole passed the ball to Dray rather than him throwing up a prayer in hopes of getting fouled (all with plenty of time on the clock).
I find that hard to believe given Dray has made a living of finding the open man, that CP3 would've had enough time to run to foul him before he found the open man (when nearly all his teammates would've been open).
Regardless of all that, nothing changes, well, for me, anyway, if the result of that play would've been any different. Nothing changes if the Warriors would've won that game. Absolutely nothing. The win-loss is irrelevant to the bigger picture. As I said in the season thread, I saw enough throughout that contest that further stamped my belief from their previous three matchups that the Suns can't fukk with the Warriors. Now that doesn't mean the Suns can't beat them (as anything can happen in a series), but they need a whole lot shyt to go their way to beat GS, and the Warriors really only need to be healthy.
Tell us you don't know shyt about hoops without telling us you don't know shyt about hoops. I feel like I can just have that as an automatic reply to all your posts.Draymond is really an insufferable personality. Absolute garbage on the court now, refuses to take wide open layupsand isn’t even a plus defender anymore.
Now he’s moved shaming a black man for his parents having a little bit of money. Klutch Klown.
