    Our fans ripped Beal apart for his attitude and body language on the court, so I hope they’ll keep the same energy here. Hate shit like this so much.

      You just hate Deni dawg I know you from the wizards sub. I’d be frustrated too if I get up 4 shots a game while JP chucks so many. Today it fell the next game we will both be frustrated just like Deni watching us lose while he shoots a deep pull up three 5 seconds into the offense

      All he did was have his hands up to indicate he was open and hang his head, y’all are acting like he went full Draymond and was throwing air punches.

      But Bradley Beal has actually proved his worth as a capable scorer. Dani has hardly proved himself of even being NBA worthy imo

    Honestly, that reaction alone would be enough for me to want the dude off the team. The wizards are rebuilding and need to protect their culture or it will easily be poisoned. Deni isnt good enough to justify this behavior so get him off the team before it spreads and you need to lose more talented players

      You’re right, the wizards should get rid of any player that actually wants to play organized basketball and surround Poole with dudes that are content with just playing defense so he can chuck every time down the court

    PTSD.

    No wonder they trade Poole.

    In a system that values ball movement and high value shots. Having a guy who just throws balls at the net isn’t worth it

    people are trashing this guy, but this isn’t isolated, i doubt he’s acting like this because of a single missed pass.

    if you’re playing with a point guard you are expected to get a pass every now and then. good point guards get other players involved, which always leads to the team playing better

      I hate how no one seems to understand this. Having a point guard that doesn’t move the ball around usually means that the other players on the team will be ball stoppers when they get passed the ball. The ball movement for the Wizards is going to suck with Poole jacking up shots.

      I mean let’s not pretend he hadn’t bought into the system at one point and obviously was a contributer in the 2023 run…until he got punched in the face.

      How conveniently that’s left out of the narrative now when people want to shit on Poole for not “buying in” to the Warriors system anymore after his team basically threw him under the bus multiple times PR wise.

      Lol come on now.

        Poole was crying behind the scenes about not starting DURING the championship run. Curry had to come off the bench to start the Nugget series to make a point.

        You are the one changing the narrative if you are pretending Poole was fully bought in until that incident tbh.

          Poole was crying behind the scenes about not starting DURING the championship run.

          No he didn’t, where is any proof of this happening. I followed the Warriors closely in that playoff run.

          Curry came off the bench because JP was averaging 30 before the playoffs and he needed time to adjust. No one pouted when JP went back to the bench.

          Only dude crying in that playoff run was Draymond going haywire when he got benched in Celtics game 4 because he was garbage

          He wasn’t. Every aspect of his game was far better in 2022 and he was a reliable playmaker.

        The Warriors immediately gave him an extension and supported him on every level from F.O. to Steph and Klay. Did you want them to cut Draymond or some shit wtf how was he thrown under the bus

          Yeah he may average 25 but it won’t be a winning 25 lol.

          Plus he’s a straight up traffic cone on D. Never seen anything like it. Like a baby gazelle learning on to walk on an ice rink

        The second someone types poole on reddit someone has to remind everyone that Poole had a reason to sabotage an entire season. As if everyone of his teammates punched him in the dick and fucked his bitch. Buncha fuckin babies.

          If Poole had punched draymond, and draymond proceeded to shank the entire season and pout, people would be barely holding back the n-word right now

            a pertinent question would be

            do you actually think dray would play ‘solo mid or feed’ ball the way poole did (and still possibly will in the future)?

            at least from the outside, it’s always seemed like dray prioritizes

            1. winning
            2. money
            3. personal accolades

            whereas poole is flipped to

            1. personal accolades
            2. money
            3. winning

              Lmfao I agree. If ur saying “who’s at fault” sure lock draymond up and whip him with lebrons belt. But if its “who should the warriors choose” it was never a question.

      I was at that game, it was such a crazy sequence….no one in the arena knew why Steph got ejected, I had to live on the refresh reddit button to find out it was another mouthpiece chucking incident……and then Poole hit the game winning buzzer beater….then celebrated with Steph on the way to the locker room

        Don’t have the link on me atm but basically Steph got frustrated with JP’s shot selection and threw his mouthpiece in anger. Funny how JP went on to win that game for the dubs later on

    Yeah this is a terrible look, him being disappointed in a make is a terrible attitude to have. We’ve seen this shit before, he’s the type to prefer dropping 30 and lose the game over winning
