The Incident

 

During the game, Poole, known for his flashy style and confident demeanor, appeared to direct some trash talk at Pritchard, the Celtics’ backup guard. However, the timing couldn’t have been worse.

To make matters worse, Poole himself struggled throughout the game, finishing with a subpar shooting performance and several turnovers. Fans were quick to highlight the irony of the moment, with one tweet reading:

“Jordan Poole trash-talked Payton Pritchard and got cooked. You can’t make this up!”
