He's basically been their best offensive option lately though (strange but true) , at least when shots ain't falling and things are a little stagnant. Really their best option to go "get a bucket"
I dunno. Bay Area sports radio has been talking bout their starting/closing lineup controversy for like a month now, and only consensus opinion is Poole needs to be in closing lineup. Maybe I'm biased from that lol
He's basically emerged as 23-25 ppg guy now. Best option to create own shot in an ugly playoff game like this.
Don't see him on the bench in last 5 minutes of a game that would have basically sealed a sweep, or gentleman's at worst . Warriors lost this game primarily cuz Klay/Steph blundered good looks. So many opportunities to gain and even build a decent lead throughout this whole game. Could have gone up in 2nd quarter when Memphis looked awful.

Yeah, he should play 25 minutes off the bench ideally but you got Curry/Klay/Wiggins/Dray down the stretch, the 5th guy can't be your worst defender. He has more value when Curry is out.
Morant eyes lit up when he saw him like it was Bill Cosby and an aspiring actress. He destroyed him.
He could hide easier vs Denver because they have 1 good offensive player and he can't really target him. Even then, GS closed that series with GP2 the final game.

Nah, watch the last 5 minutes. Once he cameback in for Porter, they're targeting him every play.
That's just bad coaching, he wouldn't have been in if GP2 didn't die but shouldn't have anyway
You don't need his scoring when your running everything through Curry/Klay/Dray last 4-5 minutes anyway
Yeah idk maybe GP2 would have closed, but Poole has been so good offensively , warrants at least 30 minutes per game IMO especially with GP2 out with injury and two of the greatest shooters ever throwing bricks
GP2 absence very much felt this game
Poole definitely important with Curry off floor, but Poole/Curry have generally played very well together and even Poole/Curry/Klay has looked great most of time. Semi-surprised GP2 started over Poole, but I guess making more sense with difference from Denver to Memphis?
