This Warriors – Blazers was obviously one of the games to follow tonight, we are not going to draw you a picture. Oh and then if you want. Damian Lillard, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson stamping his feet on the bench and two teams who got us used to shivering when played. And if it was just a first preseason game, one man didn’t give a damn and clearly put his bells on that night of October 4.
It is therefore over this era. Officially finished. But yes, you remember, that incredible time when every Jordan Poole game was just one more chance to hit bars because the guy was hitting about one in every fifteen shoots. A long time ago, because since little Poole has come a long way until being today one of the offensive leaders of the Warriors, the sentence is crazy, and I want to prove a full 2020-21 exercise. good intentions. Tonight ? The focus was however placed elsewhere, on the beginnings of Chauncey Billups as coach of the Blazers for example., on the return of Andre Iguodala on the grounds of his MVP trophy of the Finals, or on the first game of the season of Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard, of course.
But if the last two named have – oh surprise – lost none of their talent, it is therefore this guy named Jordan Poole who saw the circle last night as a swimming pool, and it is also the great return of the puns completely slammed. Jordan Poole? On another planet, the pre-season planet, eh, but still the author of the night’s perf and it’s already not bad. 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, 10/17 shooting including 7/13 from parking, 3/3 throwing, and when we say parking is parking eh.
Indeed, Jordan was not content with Portland to screw up their defense, he did it by taking all his shots or almost two good meters behind the line, notably finishing his first quarter with a buzzer-beater in direct from the changing rooms. A good dose of insolence and one wonders where he could have learned that, a little trashtalking after seeing Nassir Little demolish… Anfernee Simons in front of his Poolian speed, and in the end a predominant feeling: Klay Thompson can calmly manage his convalescence since Steph Curry has in JP a Splash Bro which will perhaps be more than an alternative solution.
We don’t tell you about the score because nobody cares, but we just inform you that the Warriors’ first passing exam went pretty well, despite the clumsiness of the Avery Bradley / Juan Toscano-Anderson duo in out of the bench, a bench from which came out with ease… Otto Porter Jr ?, which is therefore still alive and it is also one of the surprises of the night. Come on, look forward to the next Dubs game, we haven’t even had time to let go of the Poole Renard Viper.
