[Highlight] Podziemski hits the logo buzzer-beater for 6⁄7 from 3 and 22 pts in first half
THIS MF IS POSSESSED BY STEPH
POD PUTS IT IN!!!!!!
Podzing all over the court right now
Sippin on whatever Poole was drinking 3 years ago
I loved Poole with us but Podz is different. Podz is more mature and honestly, a better shooter.
It’s Giddey in a mask!
This dude is the reason GSW won this game. No one was even paying attention to someone named “Podziemski” until bro started making every shot out of nowhere. Suddenly GSW jumped to a big lead in the 3rd.. Lakers still came back in the 4th because of LeBron and Reaves, but wasn’t enough
Steph just chose to wear a Podz mask
STEPH IS INSIDE HIM
MASTER OF PUPPETS
Another scrub who lights up the Lakers. Fuck
Hey hold the fuck on Podz is NOT a scrub
Give him a break, Laker fans don’t know shit about other teams
scrub? bro is a shooter and yall giving him spaceššš
Heās shooting 34% from 3 on the year
hes not a scrub but man this was unexpected š
Podz aināt a scrub.
Aināt a scrubā¦you wanna see scrubs look at Vandy, Vincent and Goodwin lol
Look at Jalen Hood-Schifino, the guy we took ahead of Podz, already out of the league after not even getting the QO š
Naw JHS on Philly now, got some minutes against us tonight and even hit some shots lmao
He’s THT the Second, has outbursts sometimes but still sucks
Dude is a decent starter lol
A scrub is the guy we took instead of him
Aaaand this right here ^^ just proves how ignorant lakers fans are when it comes to players outside of their own team šš
2022 Jordan Poole š¤ 2025 Brandon Podziemski

Ok calm down there Draymond

Podz is better. Poole is a lot of flash. Heās gotten better, but podz makes winning plays, rebounds, hustles, etc.Ā
2022 Poole was at a completely different level as a scorer
Yeah Poole was a fucking menace.
Dude had Steph coming off the bench in the playoffs (after Steph was returning from injury)
2022 Poole was a fucking nightmare for other teams to have to gameplan for on top of Steph, he was huge all throughout that finals run
He still is a nightmare for Denver lol.
Yep he’s like to denver what murray is to the lakers
We had Klay back then too. You put your two best wing defenders on Steph and Klay and just watch the Poole party unfold. I loved that squad man
2nd year Podz >> 2nd year Poole though, pretty similar level as scorers but Podz’s defense, rebounding, and decision making is miles ahead of Poole’s. We’ll see if Podz’s 3rd year scoring matches 2022 Poole’s, but even if it doesn’t the rest of his game makes up for it.
yeah, Podz contribution is definitely more sustainable. I loved Poole, but even in his best moments his 3-point shooting felt shaky, he had a LOT of lucky banks go in that at some point just stopped falling. Admittedly, he was a true three level scorer, but when his godly 3p% dropped a bit, everything came kinda crashing down. Podz, on the other hand, even when he’s shooting like trash is a great glue guy and all around plus player, doing the little things here and there
You are out of your mind. Poole clears Podz, especially as he plays now. I can tell you donāt watch anything and just regurgitate whatever you see online.
I can tell you don’t pay attention to defense
Of course I do. I’ve watched the Wizards games, and Poole is way better defensively and offensively. Simple little hot game for Podz that will not happen again for a while lmao.
Okay you’re insane, Poole is a better offensive player, but Podz is clearly the better defender. Like that’s not even questionable.
Poole is not better defensively what the fuck
That man is a total idiot on that end
Maybe GSW Poole. Wizards Poole has pleased me with what he’s shown. Def better.
Not at all. He is the better overall player but his defense is abysmal
TBH his defense definitely is better on the Wizards, but even still it’s nowhere close to Podz’s.
Also Podz is a 2nd year player and Poole is in his 6th. You’re supposed to get better on defense, the fact that Podz is much better even now at 21 says a lot.
So does Poole Lol
Good to see another Wizards fan here. People think Poole is still trash because most people donāt watch Wizards game and act like a hivemind of hate whenever heās mentioned. They also donāt know that the Wizards are actively tanking.
Poole is the reason why we have been in so many games when we shouldn’t have been too.
Getting him some help and letting the young guys develop could give the Wiz a bright future.
Ehh, that’s disrespecting Poole too much.
Yes podz is a better passer, defender, and overall safer player.
But 2022 pooles was 100% a better short creator and 3 level scorer. Absurd 3 point percentage, amazing first step, he would probably still be a warrior instead of draymond if he didnt fall off a cliff in 2023
Possibly, crossing my fingers till playoffs for now
Podz plays winning basketball. If Poole played hard like Podz he would be an all star.
Who even for nba Reddit thatās a horrible take
Letās see poole lead those wizards to the playoffs
The comment was about 2022 Pooleā¦.
Eh Pooleās been really solid this year. I donāt know who I think is better but itās not really clear cut like that.
Poole with defense rebounding and passing.
Podz Party
Podz will go back to being trash next game, donāt worry.
Started the year 15 for 71 (21%) in his first 20 games.
He’s 81 for 197 (41%) in 38 games since.
Started the year with a mask after a nose injury, then got injured again after playing (and shooting) like shit and came back and has been a completely different player since then
Mask plus dizziness right? Makes sense why he was so off and now that itās cleared heās gotten better from last year
Everyone was calling him a bum when he clearly had a concussion
So you are trying to say players need to get punched in the face more?
funny thing is how the mask hinders Podz while the mask helps GP2. got his face busted and then couldn’t miss, i guess because it prevented him from looking down and taking his eyes off the rim
Steph crawls so Podz could runs
Steph falls on his ass so Podz could run
DNP tomorrow for Steph: Sore Butt
100%
Chef Curry and sous chef podz
Donāt forget about the helpful and well mannered Butler
Ha. I never doubted those “untradeable” comments. Never.
Man, some dubs fans were screaming to trade him early season when he wasnt playing well with that mask on from breaking his nose or whatever. Sports fans can be crazy. Podz is legit
Literally a sophomore player our fan base is so impatient and dumb sometimes
thankfully the FO isn’t impatient. if it had been any other FO with looney, he would’ve been gone before he broke out during those later years. same with poole at the start.
I was defending him for so long in the Warriors sub, but it became a hassle to convince people that BP is legit. I did eventually doubt him for a couple of days after a stinker of a game. Then he came back from injury, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, and he didn’t disappoint!
Don’t even bother. Our sub is the most reactionary bullshit sub ever. The way it swings from hating on to loving kuminga is some wild shit
Same, haha. I was always defending podz, JK, moody, and draymond. All these guys took heat this season. I also had to defend that upgrading wigz to butler was a good idea, cuz dubs fans didnt think so at the time.Ā
The only guys i roasted this season on the dubs i still stand by, lindy waters and buddy. Dubs have been much better just without lindy on the teamĀ
I criticized Moody and JK because Moody was playing subpar defense for a decent stretch of the season, and JK wasn’t showing any improvement in his game.
I’m still not convinced JK will put it together because he doesn’t seem to have the BBIQ to maximize his athleticism. Moody has embraced his role as a spot up shooter and SG/Wing defender, so he’s been playing much better on both ends of the floor.
Lindy sucked outside of like 2-3 games. Idk why people assumed he would be much better when he was only seeing 7 minutes a night on OKC (and 7 on DET now) on 2-3 shots a night. I’ve learned to accept the Buddy cycle…
JK is young and talented enough to have a longer leash. He was balling before he got hurt. He has great potential
I agree that he was playing well before his injury, but I need to see him improve on other aspects of his game before I’m convinced. He needs to work on his positioning on defense, practice boxing out to grab rebounds, and improve his jump shot. He’s fantastic running downhill and at drawing fouls, but there’s more to the game than being able to score. I think he just needs a more defined role outside of “slash to the basket and score”.
Sorry, I forgot to bring up Draymond. I’m still not a fan of him because past his poor conduct and disruptive behavior. He’s said and done things on and off the court that haven’t sat well with me (e.g. Poole punch, KAT dodging Jimmy, chest stomp, Gobert chokehold, etc.).
However, I think the team wouldn’t be anywhere as competitive on both ends of the floor without him, and I appreciate him being on the team because he’s a fantastic basketball player. I’m also warming up to him since he’s worked on his minimizing his volatile behavior and aggression on the court.
I like him because he plays like prime Lowry in the sense that he does fucking everything you need a player to do. Even if his shot isnāt falling heāll make winning plays
Podz looks good now BECAUSE of the Butler trade.
Put Podz alongside Wiggins Slomo Schroder and Podz will look like a bum.
Without that second star, our roster looked like ass - making the trade was the crucial move.
Podz always stood out on Plus minus and advanced stats, even at his worst. When you do almost every little thing right and play super smart basketball, you just contribute to winning. Him flying in for that put back against Memphis was no accident. Just has a nose for the ball.
I fucking love heaves
I hate nothing more than an after the buzzer heave and I love nothing more than a guy begging for the ball with less than 3 seconds left so he can actually attempt a shot.
I was worried we were about to get one from Podz but he is not a coward
My dream is to see KD take a heave before he retires
Nah Podz got that dawg in him
He puts them up. Not his first one this season
Podz going for that 3-pt record tonight.
The real white GOAT
he’s not leaving this building without Austin Reeves’s contract in his hands
not enough, give him luka’s
Time is a flat circle
I swear the Lakers are so unlucky lmao.
But they got Luka so I canāt feel too bad for them.
It’s like ok they’re shooting good from the 3 that’s on our defense, but this shit?? We are paying for our sins in blood
Even Draymond hitting threes lmao
A roleplayer getting his career high against the Lakers at crypto is a tradition.Ā
You gotta at least contest enough to not let guys shoot these shots in rhythm. Lebron again made zero effort to disrupt the long 3 and gets burned lol.
Lakers are unlucky? Please.
Splash nephew ā¼ļøā¼ļø
I canāt do this anymore man.
Music to my ears
here’s hoping this is the year the Warriors can finally overcome the Lakers in the playin/postseason…
Honestly without AD Iām definitely worried. He is the perfect type needed to keep the warriors in check, but I was telling my friends even before this game that outside OKC, warriors absolutely scare me the most now. And this game only confirms my worry and we havenāt even seen playoff Jimmy come out.
My fucking goat
“Lauri Package” lighting it up lmaoooo
Warriors got a white boy too
Heās got the secret sauce, love this guy
Clears Fluka
I feel like this has happened to the lakers a lot of late
Each time its off lazy LBJ defense.Ā
“Lazy LBJ defense” is redundancy. His defense been lazy for 10 years now
Yeah almost as if playing terrible perimeter defense leads to perimeter players making their shots
Twice is too many?
Curry and Butler ain’t even doing shit, this white boy is just frying us.
JJ is too focused on doubling Butler and Curry that he’s letting Podz be open or with a weak defender
lol just because curry and butler aint scoring means theyāre not doing shit. reason the warriors are up cause the lakers kept collapsing everytime jimmy is in the post up or cutting and steph getting double teamed, which leads to podz wide open on most of his attempts
No way, almost like I said that:
You can see what happen 2nd half when he is not doubled
Its called ball movement.
I can already see the lakers getting sent home in the playoffs on a half court buzzer beater. Happened to them twice now.
That would imply that the score will be close, which it won’t be.
Fakers are a “rest your starters in the 4th” type of team this year.
Bros already talking tough see u in may
Been saying it for weeks actually. Lakers think they are Real Madrid when really they are Man United.
Lakers arenāt supposed to win a chip this season lol
Weāll prep for the nugs in the second round, just in case
Bro thinks podemsky gonna shoot 8⁄10 every night
Needed the game of his life to barely beat a team whoās best player stunk it up and got nothing from the bench
I mean why not
Podz revenge game šš«
We really took THT 2.0 over him šš«
We have officially cloned Jordan Poole and made it better
Yes, Podz is a much better defender and rebounder – and the advanced stats like his game more, even including his shooting struggles with the mask and concussion this year.
Some combination of words all came out of my mouth at once when that went in.
Who tf gave our opponents magnet balls from half court mannnn
HOLY GIDDEY FLASHBACKS
Looked a lot like that Giddey game winner
WAS THAT CURRY?!!!
If only the Lakers had a defensive-minded big man they might be able to stop the bleeding here.
Unbelievable 1st half by Podz. Cold celebration after
Everybody just got superpowers playing against the Lakers, I can feel the logo buzzer beater PTSD all the way to Germany.
Stephās BBL pad is motivating Podz
no way lakers fans yapping this is our revenge for lonnie walker
I thought Kerr was nuts in pre season when he said they wanted Podz to shoot 10 threes a game. Heās definitely found his stroke these last 10 games.
Why don’t the Lakers simply make their logo smaller? That way they would get logo buzzer beater’d less. Are they stupid?
Poole is back?
[deleted]
Podz is a better shooter than 34%, masked Podz couldn’t shoot to save his life
excuse me?!?!?
Klay crying somewhere watching this
WE GOT A WHITE BOY WHO CAN SHOOT TOO š£ļøš£ļøš£ļø
Curly hair +100 shooting against Lakers/LeBron
More lazy defense lol. We lost this game already.Ā
Tide Podz, so fresh, so clean
This can only be cosmic karma. Lakers got Luka but in return we have to watch our team get hit with buzzer beaters 77 times
I mean their defense at end of quarters is atrocious.. itās like they gave up
Of course it’s a record game against the Lakers.
Insane
Out of body
lmao, even
Best white boy on the court
WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR
If I had a nickel…
Ground fucker.
Airpods!!!
Lol.
Lmao, even.
Pods been cooking since getting sunburned
fueled by the power of our yellow sun
With this guy it is not just the shooting, he is a good finisher inside, has a floater game, hustles hard, is a good passer, has a high bbal iq, is a good defender and rebounder for a guard.
The only major skill for a guard when it comes to him I wouldnt put on par with those above is his ball handling but I am sure he can still improve it since he is still a sophomore after all.
The thing is, his ball handling isn’t flashy but it’s super reliable. He’s regularly dribbling into deep paint and creating opportunities without turnovers. He’s got that very non flashy dribble on a string.
This dude was absolute ass for the first month or so this season but has been looking very nice again since then
He is the player we expected Kuminga to be. The actual $30 million per year player.
Great shot by Pods but what is Reeves doing there lmao he just let him take the practice shot, you have to know guys can hit that by now
Podz. Hit em up.
I knew the Lakers was gonna he stupid and let some random go off
Hats off to him making the shot but why wasn’t Curry catching and taking that shot to begin with?
Steph inbounded the ball bro. Which led to Podz being open because ordinarily Steph has everyone watching him, so the defenders are now on the backfoot sorting out who they should be covering.
Plus Podz was flamethrower hot.
Thatās why I was confused as to why they picked Steph to inbound the ball.
LeBron got PTSD from Giddey with that shot
These the bullshit that happens when itās your night
No chance tonight lol
Warriors just destroyed the Lakers bench.
This shit can only happen to the Lakers. These motherfuckers need to defend until the clock hits 0 everytime now.
he started the 1st 2 months sub-20% from 3 lol. I guess having Jimmy Butler really changes everything
He was also 39% last season. He had a rough start this season
He had a head/eye(?) injury early in the season which really seemed to affect his shooting. I know he had a mask for a while and was clearly uncomfortable with it.Ā
He’s way better than that tbh, that percentage is really let down by his early season slump
His shooting was one of his best skills coming out of college
Maybe the lakers should try guarding him
Last 10 games he has been shooting at an abnormal 45.8% (including this game) and around 41% last 15 games. Not sustainable, but hopefully a sign of things to come.
It’s the curse of Hamas.
These players embodied “Contest without foulling”
Salute!
