I wonder why nobody is talking here about the Grizzlies-Warriors match-up where Poole put the game winning shot.
He is the reason why Curry got ejected because of his early shot with more than 10 seconds remaining, but on the other hand, he is also the reason why the Grizzlies are now on a 4 game losing streak. Dynasty??
Dynasty in their dreams.
Stephen Curry had great support from Thompson and Poole. I thought the Warriors might actually lose when Stephen Curry was ruled out of this game after throwing his mouth guard which counted as a technical foul. This obviously happened because Poole did not pass him the ball when he was absolutely free. But in the end, Poole did the thing of beauty in the end which resulted in a win for the Golden State Warriors. I'm not going to lie. That was absolutely amazing what he did in the last moment of the game.
He did it out of frustration and who will not get frustrated with that play. They are at the crucial minutes of the game, your team got an offensive rebound, the shot clock is more than 10 seconds left and then you will just the ball out of nowhere? I mean that's a poor decision making coming from Poole, and clearly he is still unexperienced when it comes to times like that. Fortunately, he is the reason why they won and at the dugout, Curry waited for Poole there and Poole threw his mouthpiece as well and hugged each other after that. Player and mentor relationship

The list of the starters of each conference in NBA All-star game has been picked already.
For the Western Conference, they got:
- Lebron James - their captain
- Nikola Jokic
- Zion Williamson
- Stephen Curry
- Luka Doncic
For the Eastern Conference, they got:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo - their captain
- Jayson Tatum
- Kevin Durant
- Donovan Mitchell
- Kyrie Irving
Lebron has been in the all star for the 19th straight time, tying Kareem's number of all-star appearances. Now some might say that why they picked Tatum over Embiid and my opinion with that is, Tatum is playing better than Embiid this season and it's a numbers game. We also saw Donovan Mitchelll as a starter and it's his first time as a starter. I hope Durant can play in the all-star. Any snubs that you can think on?
