Booker Question

[CardsSunsDbacks]

yup. He set the tone right off the bat. Great lead performance.

If we get through this series he could have a huge series against either the Nuggets or Blazers. Neither team anywhere near the defensive team that the Lakers are.

agreed.

yup. He set the tone right off the bat. Great lead performance.

I was impressed that he backed off looking for his own shot. In the past if he opened the game like that then it was virtually guaranteed he'd drop 40-50, easy. He seems to have learned that depending that energy in a blowout is a waste. He trusted his teammates and found them in good positions while playing as a decoy of sorts. Smart outing overall.

He started to force it when CP3 went out, but seemed to pretty quickly realize that he wasn't playing the right way and the lead ballooned back up.

Yeah, he started pressing again but glad he realized he didnt need to.

Yep. Noticed that too. Almost fell back into old habits.

Lol... isn’t that because you banned him?

back to back SUPERSTAR performances by Book. This is the time legends are made. He’s off to a a damn good start dethroning the King and averaging 38/8/5 in swing Game 5 and close out Game 6.

I was going to comment on how quiet he's been lately but you beat me to it.

Oddly enough I was going to say the same exact thing you did, nickname and all.

Isn't this his new career high in 3ptm? I don't think he's ever had more than 6 or 7 in a game before this. To do it in a close out game is pretty freaking special.

You are correct. I thought it was higher but 6 is the most he's hit before. Tonight was a season high in points also.

Was a superstar tonight no doubt! Dethroned the king in his own house!

I'm not sure if this has been posted but this is a quote from Lebron James to Devin Booker.

Monty on Booker's aggressiveness:

“We had a conversation after Game 3 about, their (the Lakers’) defense is so good and they shift to the ball so well, he’s not going to get another look after the first one presents itself,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “So that was the mentality that we wanted him to have, and he’s a gifted scorer.”

I feel like this has been something that Booker has been somewhat struggling with for a good chunk of this season. Sometimes he has been patient to a fault. I like seeing him take that first good opportunity instead of just waiting for another one later.

oh! Yeah. He could easily come back and rub the “inexperience” factor back in my face, but I wouldn’t care at this point. Happy as hell to be proven wrong!

Lebron praises Devin Booker.

"I love everything about D-Book."
