Stephen Curry is apparently out with a tailbone injury (he is, quite literally, butthurt about it), and the Warriors don’t have another playable point guard on the roster, so I guess that means Jordan Poole gets to play for nearly forty minutes and be a primary ball handler? That’s what I’m gathering from creating this highlight video, anyway. Curry was definitely out, and Poole was definitely advancing the ball on many possessions, and the boxscore definitely says that Poole played 38 minutes. The facts all check out.
Please note that Brad Wanamaker does not count as a “playable point guard”. The Warriors played him, but that doesn’t make him playable. They should bring back Charles Jenkins, who is only a little bit older than Wanamaker at this point.
Poole has scored in double digits in seven straight games now, and this is the first one where he shot below 50% from the field. It’s a veritable “Poole Party”. It’s been a while since I was invited to a real-life pool party, so it’s nice to get invited to this “Poole Party” instead. I would say the Poole Party is even more awesome than a conventional pool party, since a conventional pool party involves me donning a pair of swim trunks and exposing my grotesquely skinny body to the world. Then again, a conventional pool party also involves female human beings walking around in skin-baring swimming outfits. I saw no such female human beings at the Poole Party.
Hopefully Curry just sits out for a while so the Poole Party can go on forever until his mom comes out and yells at everybody that they have to go home now.
