https://youtu.be/djA7YsGXfMM Official relations between the countries of Austria and Montenegro have worsened significantly in the aftermath of this game, where Jakob Poeltl (the official representative of Austria) completely ruined the Bulls debut of Nikola Vucevic (the official representative of Montenegro). After spending most of the first half converting on barely-contested layups, Poeltl pulled out the…

Jakob Poeltl Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2021)
https://youtu.be/M8CLrfubsBk I’m looking around right now, and I’m wondering where all the people who were saying “Jakob Poeltl can’t score” went? There were so many of them, constantly harassing me with proclamations like “Poeltl can’t make layups anymore” and “His range is arm’s length” and “I only comprehend basketball on the simplest level and the…

https://youtu.be/sr8Y836Q2Sk OFFICIAL DTB STATISTICAL FINDING OF THE DAY: Jakob Poeltl, who has averaged 17 MPG per game over the course of his career, is sixth in his draft class in TOTAL win shares. Not win shares per 48, but raw absolute win shares. He’s tied with Jamal Murray on the list, and he’s ahead of…

I thought for sure, for absolute sure, that 19 points would be Jakob Poeltl’s career high. Because I know how much I know about the NBA (a lot), and I knew that I would remember something as momentous as Poeltl scoring 20 or more. I was getting all ready to rag on the commentators for…

Jakob Poeltl, over the last few games, has seemingly realized a basketball truism that is, truthfully, innately present in over 99 percent of the population (and not just the basketball-playing portion of the population, I literally mean the entire population of earth): if you put the ball in the hole, your team gets two points….

Jakob Poeltl would have had just the second twenty-burger of his career if he could have just made a few more gosh darn free throws. Not only that, but the Spurs likely would have won this game if he had just made a few more gosh darn free throws. Going 2/8 from the welfare stripe…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
Just because Jakob Poeltl is a starter, doesn’t mean he should be barred from playing in garbage time. The Nuggets’ lead ballooned to about 30 points near the start of the fourth quarter, rendering that last period meaningless. Normally, that’s when players like Poeltl shine; they can do stuff that maybe they wouldn’t do otherwise,…

Jakob “Pink Mamba” Poeltl looks like he was enjoying the Spurs’ recent off days a little too much. I get that in Austria people don’t have to worry as much about sunburn because they only have one season, which is winter (don’t believe the lies peddled by “The Sound of Music”), and most people don’t…

Jakob Poeltl was staring at his locker, looking for the second sock of a pair (the first sock being already on his foot), when a hazy apparition appeared in front of him. As Jakob watched with astonishment, it slowly coalesced and gained form until it took the unmistakable shape of a human. The spirit-cloud was…

San Antonio is, in the eyes of the public, the best place for Euro role-players to go if they want to jumpstart their career. So, if any of them even noticed that Jakob Poeltl went southward (way southward), they probably thought “Oh, Pop will turn him into a double-double machine, not like I have any…
