Tired of this nonsense take he doesn’t make that and won’t until 28-29 season …. That’s a few season away stop acting like he is somehow crazy underperforming his pay such nonsense…
he's only top 10 in scoring (while being doubled) and top 20 in assists (because he's being doubled) - all he did was lead a new team to the playoffs with no stars - in their first year together - that's all - he's lucky he's not getting the league minimum

This is actually the best the suns have played in months, but it doesn’t seem to be good enough against OKC.

First half: 2 pts 5 TO. About to get swept.

The connection to Booker is entirely emotional and nostalgic at this point

There’s no doubt that their defense is keyed to stop book. And it’s opened up other players. But 0-3 for 2pts and 5 turnovers in a half is unacceptable. And unfortunately, expected from book in a closeout game these days.

Pretty sure our defense is geared to stop SGA. Hes got 17 on 6 of 9 shooting with 2 turnovers. Yeah SGA is mvp. But if Devin is an all star the disparity shouldn’t be that. Not that. Not on a night where the role players are actually showing up a bit.

Agreed. Still down 8 at half and it seemed to take so little effort to get that lead.

That team is nails. They don’t miss wide open shots.

We need Gillespie and Allen to be this perfect at shooting 3s, and Brooks this good, to even in the game. Both Booker and Green ain't effective under OKC's def. pressure. But it's hard to do better, now both cant hit any 3s.

interesting how the discussions on this forum have gone from
IS BOOKER A SUPERSTAR?, to
IS BOOKER IS GREATEST SUN? to
IS BOOKER WORTH 70 MILLION? to
DOES BOOKER SUCK?

Gee I wonder if it’s the leagues best defense keying to stop him over anyone else in our team? Just maybe? lol geesh
I’m done with this stupid argument. If he can’t take advantage of double teams bench him.

SGA came back about 3min before halftime and scored 7 straight pts or so right away, with authority, and Suns D was out of sinc after that.

And I absolutely believe both would benefit from a more traditional lineup where they played their roles instead of being shoe horned into being the 3.

Not watching the game but just looked at the box score. Is book out injured? Or just having a classic book elimination game?

Green has been better than book in every game of the series including this one.

Game 1:

Booker 23 6 rebounds 2 assists 3 turnovers 47% shooting
Green 17 points 5 rebounds 1 assist 3 turnovers 38% shooting

I stopped after game 1 because your takes are so stupid you should log out

I’m not paying Peacock premium to watch the second Half. Was in a restaurant for the first half.
