That’s a big boy win. Book looked so much better tonight than the last game - and I’m talking about his movement and timing. That’s an epic superstar effort carrying the team back from a 24 point deficit with 58 points.

But man he needs some help. This is ridiculous.

And okogie tenacity is really fun to watch. But having him d up zion isn’t gonna be a long-term answer imo.

It will help a lot to get Ayton and both Cams back. I still think when healthy this team is close. Still need one or two more role players at the deadline assuming there isn't a big deal out there to be made.

Josh Okogie would show his hands but guard Zion with his body.

I think he can help guard Luka in the same manner.

Agree. The Suns need to replace Crowder and fill that empty roster spot.

I'm not sure if Saric can return to form.

If we need Booker to go nuclear to win regular season games he’s going to be toast come playoff time.

The league is telling you what they think of the Suns. 5 minutes left in that game and the second Booker crossed half court two guys came sprinting at him. No respect at all for any of the other Suns on the court including Paul.

Teams have been doing it all year long. Paul will make them pay

Yeah and apparently monty still hasn’t figured out the counter for that. Book should know first, second and third reads there automatically and find someone for a wide open three or uncontested layup.
