Suns @ Timberwolves Tuesday Playoff game thread 4-23-2024 - Game 2

[Cheesebeef]

We didn't ruin our franchise trading for Booker.

Different standard.

Dude… what a joke.

As usual, you just can’t admit you’re wrong about anything.

The KD trade definitely didn’t work. And now we’re learning the franchise is screwed anyway because you can’t build a contender around Booker as your number 1 star.

He’s the Carmelo Anthony of SGs.

WHY ARE THE STARTERS STILL IN THE GAME YOU MORON - WHO'S RUNNING THE GOT DAMN TEAM ANYWAYS

Some fans forget the Suns were loaded with all their draft picks and expiring contracts when they needlesly traded their future for Durant.

Durant trade was a disaster.

Thinking we could build around the Carmelo Anthony of Shooting Guards was fallacy as well.

 

[sdscard4]

Booker plays fine when he's the SG
Unfortunately his alter ego point Book is in charge now

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker is just getting exposed.

lol, it is a faaaaaaaaaar different standard.

Booker isn't playing well, I've seen Booker play incredible for us in the playoffs. He also stuck around for a season after season of hell.

Durant has spent the last decade looking for the easy way out... he's playing like trash and we destroyed our franchise to get him.

now vogel takes out the starters - after book fouls out - game was over with 5 minutes to go but the team decided they wanted to stay out there - so book could foul out - because that's important

Watch how easy this is: you’re right… the KD trade was awful.

Now you’re turn… Booker is the Carmelo of SGs?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

lol how bout them lakers amigo?

 

[boisesuns]

Decided to be a lurker this season. But dropping in to say what a joke they’ve been. It’s been boring to even follow them from afar, We’re kinda stuck now unless everyone wants a trade.

Side note… hope all you punks are doing well!!

The greatest feat of Steph Curry's career is convincing a lot of people Kevin Durant was better than LeBron.

Truth.

 

[Finito]

I don’t even know what we can do this off-season

 

[sdscard4]

Would have been nice to see how they played with IT running the point. Never even tried

When you're wrong you're wrong... and you're double wrong.

Carmelo never got anywhere in the playoffs and Carmelo would have bailed on the Suns in about year 3 of Booker's career.

Final:

Timberwolves 105 - Suns 93

 

[nashman]

Our coach is awful use some freaking bench can’t have the big 3 all playing freaking 42 minutes and expecting them not to be exhausted! Stupid coaching zero adjustments! Bol, Okogie, Young should all be getting minutes but no let’s run our guys into the ground! fudge you Vogel you can’t be gone soon enough!

the cheese is old and moldy and tiny

 

[Yuma]

Little looks like a good prospect who might get some playing time under our new coach next year....

 

[sdscard4]

the cheese is old and moldy and tiny

Yeah but a PG would sure have been nice. Never thought I'd miss 1 arm Paul so much

 

[Mainstreet]

I don’t even know what we can do this off-season

My guess, Booker is gone.

 

[Yuma]

My guess, Booker is gone.

I don't see Ishbia doing that even if he's our last remaining asset.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

This is insane. Melo IMMEDIATELY lifted what was an AWFUL Nuggets team FOREVER into the playoffs AS A 19 YEAR OLD ROOKIE. And kept them in the playoffs year after year and even got them to the Conference Finals and then somehow got a moribund Knicks team into the 2nd round with almost no talent.

Booker never even SNIFFED the playoffs for the first FIVE years of his career, then had one fluky Finals run where every single team they played was down either their best or second best player, and he was the Robin to CP3’s Batman and has been HUMILIATED in every playoffs now the last three years.

But keep on fluffing Booker, the leader of this pathetic team and guy who was the leader of multiple home humiliations the last couple years of the playoffs. Looks like he’s well on his way to making that a trifecta!
