Jordan Poole joined the Washington Wizards with big promises of giving his best. So far, he has not done enough to keep up those promises though. Out of the three games that he has played for the Wizards, Poole showed his best in Saturday’s win against the Memphis Grizzlies. He put up a game-high 27 points in the 113-106 victory. On the other hand, ex-Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis is having a wonderful time in Boston.
In all three of the Celtics’ wins, the center played a huge role in taking the team to victory. So far, he has averaged 23.5 points and 8.5 rebounds this regular season. And it looks like he will continue with this good work in the coming games as well.
It is definitely not Poole’s time

The 24-year-old shooting guard made a shot so wide, people wondered if he had forgotten his basketball. And it looks like he is having a hard time, as shared by this user.
Jrue Holiday and Derrick White have Jordan Poole in hell right now.

Most fans could not believe that he was playing like this at such a high level.
Some other users chose to question his role as the second-best offensive player in Warrior during their title win in 2022.
Dude wtf? This is the worst shot I’ve ever seen taken by a man

Others felt like he deserved to be benched after such a horrible performance.
Man I’d sit his ass down for a long stretch after that. https://t.co/iGtm1cSdvt
— Chris Walder (@WalderSports) October 30, 2023
I want to know why the coach didn’t sub out Poole immediately after this.
That deserves a benching for at least remainder of game.

Celtics vs Wizards
Boston dominated the match right from the first quarter. Jaylen Brown with 36 points and Jayson Tatum with 33 points ensured that the team was leading the scoreboard at all times.

They were also assisted in this by Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday (11 points). Overall, this was a brilliant display of coordinated team effort. This is Boston’s second season registering three successive wins in the opening of the regular season. With this, hopes of a championship are high in the Celtics camp.
The Wizards began their season with a loss against the Indiana Pacers. But they were able to pull themselves together in the second win against the Grizzlies. Now, however, their bad streak is back. Kuzma did put in 21 points this game. but without the right assistance from his teammates, it looks like these one-man efforts will not take Washington too far into the season.
