No, he unfortunately can’t but at least try IT. Not saying he will do any better but it’s desperation time, do something different. Make a change in the starting lineup, do something!

I believe IT is done but if there ever was a time to play him is right now.

5 points so far for our stud IT

Two tough opponents in a row and Booker a pile of s**t. Nothing new to his career as a super max contract player.

Beal looks like hot garbage too. Can't believe this is the same player from the Wizards

KD: 2-4
Book: 2-1
Beal: 0-0

Total: 43-31

You can see the toughness Little would bring to this team if he got minutes

So looks like Book/Beal is our best combo. 75% winning %. Oh how they'd be with Bridges/Cam/Allen/Nurkic/O'Neale.

Before the start of the season Booker was rated as MVP for the coming season. The shooting threat of Durant and Beal was the reason for this. He was expected to do whatever he wanted. Still waiting.

He definitely deserves a lot of criticism. I also expected him to play at an MVP level this season. Definitely don’t want to give him an excuse but having him help with the PG duties is not fair to him or KD. The most frustrating thing about Book is he’s not even looking to score most times this season, never seen him this passive. It’s sad to see.

I hate being right about this team.

As I said a few days ago I fear the Kings and OKC more than Denver because our defense is too slow, too old and too short to contest any of OKC's shots.

Giddey is a horrible offensive player and he blew by the defense all night long.

The top teams in the West are healthier in the regular season than what we are used to, and that's why Booker should be interested in every game.

I would love to take a high standard point guard, but Beal's contract makes that impossible. We just have to hope that when the playoffs start and every situation matters, the money Ishbia spends will be realized on the court as he believes.

I've had farts that's more consistent than this team

At this point you've got to be indifferent towards them. Can't get too high，can't get too low, they'll let you down either way

At this point I just want to somehow get in the Nuggets / Wolves bracket, who we are currently 3-1 against (pending 2 games with the wolves). Just stay ahead of the Lakers and win that 7-8 playin with the Kings, wherever it is. Then beat the Wolves / Nuggets, and there’s a good chance the teams we match up worse with are eliminated by the time we get there. Getting ahead of myself 100 fold obv, as we could be eliminated in 3 weeks, but will opt for the optimistic path.

Yeah, a lot of arguments about it being a good trade, but are we really better? And now building for the future is infinitely tougher. If we don't make the playoffs, do they make a big trade? Or if we do and lose in the first round in embarrassing fashion?
The timing of the trade was awful. No need to have done it at the deadline last year. People love the Nurkic trade, imagine if he had players who knew how to find open space like Cam and Mikal. Everyone on this team just stands around.

Trading those guys was fine. They've proven themselves to be non-difference makers in Brooklyn. The problem was trading them PLUS all of our picks for Durant-when we were the only suitor. Makes 0 sense.

Make the trade. But tell the Nets they either get the players or all of the picks. 1 or the other. Not both.

Hell, I'd probably be advocating moving them now if they were here. Imagine if Giannis or Embiid become available in the next 12 months? Even on a bigger scale how about Luka or Tatum? Those players are who sell everything for. Not this, though as I've said, it's not really KD's fault as he has played awesome.

It's why we need to trade him this summer if we get too many more nights like tonight.

We just need a pass first facilitator. Preferably one that can play defense. Too bad we can't hop in a time machine and go back and grab Rondo as he would a perfect player to put next to these guys.

At least Lakers and Kings lost. Kings really struggling with injuries after Monk went down.
