The Golden State Warriors suffered a big loss on Tuesday night in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the playoffs.
Jordan Poole was on one during a big chunk of the game, but in the final seconds of the match, he attempted a really long shot and missed it, leaving the door open for the Lakers to take Game 1.
Before the series started, Snoop Dogg predicted that Poole would throw this game away when assessing this second-round series (5:53 mark).
“Steph [Curry] showed out last series, so we’re going to be probably doubling Steph,” Snoop Dogg said to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday’s “First Take” episode. “Somebody else is going to be open.
“Jordan Poole, keep shooting. I like the way you’ve been missing, brother.”
This became a reality on Tuesday night, as the Dubs were close to beating the Lakers but failed at the last minute. He made six threes during the game, just like Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
This didn’t stop the Lakers from winning, though, and Steve Kerr must make adjustments if he plans to win Game 2. The Warriors looked great during the match, but the Lakers always stayed in the game, waiting for their moment.
They took a lead in the final minute of the game, as the Warriors started missing shots. In the end, Poole’s potential game-tying shot was the final straw, leaving the Warriors helpless against their Californian rivals.
Warriors Fans Are Fuming With Poole
As expected, many fans were unhappy with Poole. The young guard made a bad decision, and his team paid the consequences. Poole’s level has been very bad this campaign. His level has decreased compared to last season.
The Lakers are a very difficult rival, and the Warriors learned that the hard way. They have the home-court advantage now and will try to extend their lead in Game 2.
Poole received support from others, but many, like Snoop, will be ready to trash him as soon as he makes a mistake.
