Around the NBA: 2022 The Preseason Is Here!

[Propagandist]

The Athletic's editors would've caught what should've read "my Jordan Pool," but read "my Jordan Poole" (with the E at the end) within the quotation marks. Verdict: this article is spoof, ie no is real.

Anyone on Lakers game thread duty? Game is in a couple hours.

Thank you, Playpus. That’s not the only time he said that back then either. Thanks for finding it though. HCP has got egg on his face now.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

You are going on the record saying The HCP claimed we only had ONE player on our roster that was an NBA quality starting player. Yeah, that is something I would never have said. I am a huge fan of CJ, always have been and always will be. And you want people here to believe that I typed on a keyboard that CJ McCollum should not be starting for our team. Please find this if you’re going to aim your bullshit at me.

Yep I’m on record and so are you. Might be time for you to post less and read more. Learn from the experts.

Not sure what the context is here….was CJ injured? One of my favorite players in the league, why would I not consider him a starter? Nice find by the way.

7 years ago CJ had a foot problem as I understand?

seeing the date of the post it was most likely before CJ's first starting SG season started

It was before CJ started in his first season. No egg on your face. Not an outrageous thing to say at that time.

Look at this garbage of a roster

LMAO, the video of Draymond attacking Poole gets leaked to TMZ. It's way worse than I expected.

Who leaked it?

Who leaked it?

Draymond with the Superman Punch

 

[andalusian]

If Draymond is banned from the NBA - he can be a boxer or a WWE fighter.

 

[wizenheimer]

that was a brutal, dangerous punch. Not really a sucker punch, but close enough. I don't see how the Warriors can let that slide without serious penalty

Who is the assistant coach walking behind all of it. It's like he knew it was gonna go bad but also knew there was no way he was getting in the way.

To me, the video is pointless if you can't hear what they're saying.

Poole is talking.

Draymond gets in his face.

Poole shoves him.

Draymond throws a punch.

We're missing some information here.

Sucker punch? What? Poole pushed him first. There was no sucker about that. Poole had two choices. Put up or shut up.

He didn't shut up...

Yeah..... I wish the video had audio. We're missing some important information here.... but Poole isn't some innocent victim here. It's not like Draymond walked up and started throwing punches out of the blue.

It's all about the "Jordan Pool" he is gonna put in when he gets paid.
Green has made over $150 million and has won 3 championships. The kid has made $6 million so far but will most likely get paid pretty well next summer if all goes well for him. Thing is you gotta stay humble a bit. Certainly around the big dawgs on the team.

Ohhhhhhhh so CJ was inured? Hmmmm

 

[THE HCP]

seeing the date of the post it was most likely before CJ's first starting SG season started

Oh, so CJ was coming off his injury season and hadn’t started an NBA game before?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Ohhhhhhhh so CJ was inured? Hmmmm

And it was his second year. He started 3 games that year.

@PtldPlatypus Did you see this roster and realize that CJ had never started a game before when I made this post? That kinda changes things right? Just a bit?

 

[THE HCP]

Yeah big hit, but in my mind that’s not a sucker punch. If a dude is squared up in your face, you better be prepared. Unnecessary though.

I wasn't making any points--I just shared the screenshot and linked the post/thread to clarify what @KSF-ERIC was referencing. You're welcome to argue with him about whether or not that supports his claim; I have no dog in this fight.

 

[THE HCP]

Ohhh, well the JinxSpeed guy made it out like I didn’t know what I was talking about then. Jesus you see that roster?

No you do, you brought that quote into it and defended him. Do you see our roster? Did you realize that CJ had never started an NBA game and was coming off an injury?

 

[THE HCP]

Cause that kinda puts a different spin on things right?

A post a minute for 7 minutes responding to an obvious troll. I don't get it.
