Not according to Ouchie. You gotta bring the proof man, otherwise, he's perfectly healthy.

I'm going to stay out of that discussion if I can.

The thing is, without Devin Booker, we would not even be talking about a winning record or the playoffs.

Austin Reaves has played 63 more minutes than Bronny in the playoffs.

They have made the same amount of 3-Pointers.

they're freakin nuts

LOL… classic case of telling us you don’t understand any Devin Booker criticism without telling us you really don’t understand any Devin Booker criticism.

It's a joke. Thought that was pretty obvious.

Yeah… that’s pretty much according to everyone except those desperate to make excuses for Booker where no physical ones exist anywhere in any injury report.

You know… the place proof of injury is actually reported.

Sadly, with Devin Booker, the majority of his career we aren’t talking winning record or even playoffs.

And we haven’t talked a playoff win in 4 years.

The Kevin Durant trade is the gift that keeps on giving.

Btw, the Suns won 6 games in the playoffs in 2023.

Agreed. My bad.

Tough to remember that after the epic bow out.

Yeah, that was a game to forget.

Hyperboles your friend man!

There’s a difference between dinged up and injured. You were claiming he had some mythical hidden injury. It’s post season and we’ve heard nothing about it. It’s possible to admit when you’re wrong.

I don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong. We just don't have enough evidence either way. Why is it so important for you to be right? And yes, there is a difference between dinged up and injured. There's also a spectrum in between which is where I'd put him at based on what I saw. If I had to guess he had at the very least a slight ankle sprain in addition to being dinged up. There was definitely something affecting his shooting in my opinion. He had no confidence in his shot and it was way off when he did shoot it from distance. I do like that Booker isn't one to make excuses. We're allowed to disagree but I apologize for calling you out in the post you're referring to.

Dennis Schroeder seems insufferable.

I am all for holding guys accountable but he is constantly screaming at his teammates.

In large part to both Kawhi and Paul George getting hurt or covid. Kawhi also missed the 2021 WCF. Jamal Murray 2021, Zion 2022. If the Barkley/Nash era had that kind of fortune we’d be talking about multiple titles.

Oh that’s right. I forgot we beat up on the no Kawhi/PG13 JV Team Clippers.

And what happened in the ONE game in that series where they had either Kawhi or PG in that series. We lost… at home… an ugly normality in the last 4 seasons years of complete and utter failure in the playoffs. In the seasons we even made it there, anyway. And that doesn’t even include the worst Game 7 home loss in NBA history against the Mavs.

I mean… do you guys realize beyond losing 10 straight playoff games, we’ve lost our last SIX HOME PLAYOFF GAMES. And I think we’ve lost them by an average of something like 20 ppg. That is beyond pathetic.

Something must have happened, because he's not in the lineup
