But his team still took an L which sours the achievement a little bit.

Makes you think though; he was only 12 points away from Kobe's 82.

Makes T-Ross's 51 points look like child's play

I bet you don't feel the same way about Ross getting 51 in a losing effort. :P

I tell you guys you should tank but at least my other team is doing it right

after adding Ball, Fultz or Jackson we'll be the next Twolves.

I love it and how the entire Suns team are so happy for him and celebrating in the locker room. They know they are tanking. Able to witness history by a 20 year old AND lose the game for better draft position. The veterans like Barbosa and Chanlder don't care..they already won their championships. The guy they gave up that needed to to a winner was Tucker and they granted his wish. Great organization. I bet Jay Triano taught Earl Watson a thing or two on tanking but developing their players offensive game.

Actually it's kinda perfect. Fans get to enjoy the 70 and they still lost for the Tank. Would have been nice for us if the Celtics lost. But Suns fans are in heaven.

Celtics let a guy score 70 on them and there are pundits out there that seriously think they're the second best team in the east. :lol:

It was a big deal when DeMar scored 82 in 2 games but Booker just scored 70 in 1 game. wow. I think the bigger question is how in the hell, did the celtics give up 70 points to a 20 year old at home? They gave up 26 free throws to Booker and 49 over all to the suns. I have to watch the highlights for this game because on paper, those numbers just don't make any sense. Or maybe their defence is just trash.

Spoiler:
Just watched the highlights. Suns never had a chance in this game. Most of his points came in garbage time. But, towards the end of the game, whats left of the Celtics crowd started to cheer for Booker. I'd be a little pissed off if I were the celtics seeing the fans cheer for an opponent.

the most surprising thing is that he only made 4 3pt-shot....you would think, looking at 70, in this new NBA that it would be at least 10 3s.

Yeah, this is some championship level tanking. You set a record and still have a bottom 3 record? Wow. Imagine if they land Fultz, or Ball and add them to Booker and Chriss....Very bright future on paper at least.

Congrats Devin Booker.
