Re: Game 12: Warriors vs Bulls
what the fk is the logic behind behind taking Steph out 6 mins in and then bringing him back in with 2 mins left in the 1st?
if you wanna stagger them, you take Poole **** out and have him come off the bench more.

Re: Game 12: Warriors vs Bulls
i know it's tough to complain when we're 10-1 but this is just dumb. why are we accommodating Poole like this when he's gonna go back on the bench when Klay's back anyway?

I'm starting to convince myself Poole has bad IQ.

I agree with you. How the **** do you treat an MVP like a scrub by taking him and then putting him back in in the same quarter? Is someone spiking some drugs in Kerr's drink, what the **** is he doing?

They want Curry to start the 2nd quarter... but don't want to give up having Steph in at the end of the quarter. If Steph is rolling they don't take him out in the 1st. I think I heard this in a Kerr interview or perhaps it was in an article quoting Kerr or someone on the coaching staff.

Re: Game 12: Warriors vs Bulls
Poole's shaken... hesitated on the 3 and then took a worse one. He's gonna have to be moved out of the SL, which was always the risk of starting him in the first place
But do we do it with Klay coming back around Christmas?

Re: Game 12: Warriors vs Bulls
Poole is a heat check guy that u need to run your offense through to allow him to hunt shots.
Maybe kerr is thinking of bringing klay off the bench for a while and is giving poole alot of reps as the starter.

Re: Game 12: Warriors vs Bulls
Kerr and Curry talk a lot. You all think Kerr would drastically change Steph’s rotation without his input? I highly doubt it.

If he can hang on until Klay is ready to start, that's the ideal timing. Wonder what it would do for his confidence if he loses the starting job to injured Lee or rookie Moody. Losing starting job to Klay won't hurt his confidence at all.

well i dont understand it...if they are actively trying to keep Steph from getting into rhythm its working.

I think it's more about trying to get poole into rhythm knowing curry will just figure it out.

especially a player like Steph that relies so much on rhythm.
makes no sense to me.

I hope Moody gets a few more minutes that matter tonight.. I'm not saying replace Poole, but its time to put some of his minutes up for grabs
