Steph Curry Reacts to Jordan Poole's Struggles vs. Lakers

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry does not want to isolate Jordan Poole

After being a big part of Golden State's championship run last season, Jordan Poole has struggled mightily in these playoffs. Averaging just 10.5 PPG this postseason, Poole is also shooting an abysmal 34.2% from the field and 27.8% from deep. While his defense has always been weak point, Poole's ability to score the ball at an incredibly efficient rate is what made him a productive player despite his struggles defensively.

As the Warriors sit on the brink of elimination, Steph Curry was asked again about Poole's struggles, and made sure not to isolate the young guard - saying it's a team effort for Golden State.

"We get questions about [Poole] a lot, and it's our whole team," Curry said. "We're all together in the sense of trying to figure out how to win playoff games. We all have to make adjustments. We all have to play better. Considering we're in a 3-1 hole, there's no sense of isolating him in this situation. It's all about, collectively, what can we all do to be better. The conversations we have in the film sessions, on the bench, in the locker room, are all consistent throughout the season - especially in this playoff run. Trying to answer that question, so he's a part of that, we're all a part of that. If we're gonna get out of this hole, we all have to play better."
