Kurtenbach: Strength in numbers? Poole, Green, and Kerr let down Steph Curry in Warriors’ Game 1 loss
It’s not a savory truth, but that doesn’t undercut the veracity: The Warriors need Poole to be a positive-impact player to win a title.
The Warriors were far more direct in their offensive attack in Game 1. Curry was handling the ball and working off high screens, taking advantage of the Celtics’ drop coverage to the tune of an NBA-record six first-quarter 3-pointers.So for him to be downright incoherent with the rock is jarring. Oh yeah, the defense. Poole was atrocious on that side of the ball Thursday. It’s been so bad for so many games in a row now that an ultimatum is necessary — if Poole is not scoring, he cannot play.
