We had left him a scorer but all clumsy in Boston – 24 points at 10/25 in shooting – it seems that Jordan Poole has correctly raised the bar: 32 points from the minot in the absence of the cadors, prestigious victory for the Warriors in Cleveland , road-trip in the East ended on a high note. We debrief.
The pretty house boxscore is by ICI !
Too low in the race for the 6th man of the year, moreover converted into a starter in 23 of his 45 games: Jordan Poole is going through – like the Warriors – a difficult season.
This victory in Cleveland will do him a lot of good. Extended last summer for 140 million dollars over four years, it lacked recent arguments to justify this new major place in the cap space of Golden State. This Friday, without Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and with a cripple for the quotas, Jordan Poole came out of his box to pose 32 points at 10/23 shooting and bring an oh so unexpected success to the California balance sheet. To this individual breakthrough add the presence of a safe Ty Jerome on the backcourt, with 22 points at 9/13 shooting and 8 assists, and you have the perfect scenario for Steve Kerr. You’re there, you rest the whole team and you give minutes to guys we thought were NFL players, to finally hit the 5th in the Eastern Conference in front of his audience. No Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio opposite, but a substantial workforce which had to take care of the accounting aspect following three defeats in five games. Instead, the Cavaliers have just been thrown into doubt by Splash Brothers ordered on a site that offers delivery within 35 working days. A very dark lease, for an effective and ultimately inexpensive result.
« Bring back to 90’s »Kevon Looney did Kevon Looney: 4 points at 2/4 shooting, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks and +10 plus/minus. Utility personified in a big, square-shouldered Marvel body, come to brawl – and win – once morest the Evan Mobley – Jarrett Allen combination. Cleveland interiors to the mat. The stat line sends the Dennis Rodman Fans Association straight to have a great night. The Warriors are still “only” 8th in the West, but that’s their great strength, to get results by fielding “second-rate” players who would border on insignificance in another jersey. Donte DiVincenzo (17 points), JaMychal Green (13 points and 8 rebounds) and Anthony Lamb (12 points) are made to understand that they are important to the defending champion. That before punctuating his career with a jubilee of three titles in five years, Shaun Livingston was like them.
And once you trust an average student, the results are almost instantaneous: 107 of the Warriors’ 120 points were scored by two undrafted players and five players selected beyond the top 16. Steve Kerr Hat. With a traditional three-day baguette, he still makes gingerbread for us.
No Splash Bros, no problem…
