Yeah, I've seen enough. I wonder how far we'll fall after another embarrassment at the hands of NO? Wonder what excused Williams will make this time? Wonder if Jones will just keep staring at his phone instead of picking it up?

Well,well,well

And? Stop trying to front as though you haven't been frustrated and walked away from a game, only to come back and see a miracle has occured.

I've honestly never walked away from a game and came back to it. When I walk away I never look back and I did that the year we had Jermaine Oneil, Beasley and other trash players. That team was a nightmare and didn't bother to watch the 2nd half of that season.

In Jermaine O'Neals defense he was probably one of our better players that year with 9 ppg, 5 rpg and 1.4 bpg in 18 mpg backing up gortat off the bench. But god yeah that squad was awful. Dragic was our leading scorer at 14.7 ppg

Imagine if New Orleans didn't match Eric Gordon's max offer sheet. We would have been even worse.

Book fanboys just as annoying as Luka fanboys when it comes to bashing their teammates. From what I know Luka fanboys would be pretty happy with DA and Mikal next to their golden boy. We already knew Booker can go super hot and he's a joy to watch in this mode, but we also know he can go super cold in very important games. Until he proves otherwise in the playoffs he's a borderline superstar, but not a true one.

As for CP3, yes he's old, but it's a team game. CP15/Okogie should be ready to contribute once teams start targeting him in the playoffs. Pelicans are for real. They have both star power and a deep bench, but lack experience so ideally you pray to meet them later in the playoffs when the pressure is high.

Book has fanboys?

Surely they meant D.A

[MrMiyagi]

Are you jealous?

No. People just tend to dismiss Booker's play and achievements, so I'm surprised when someone complains about his "fanboys"

We are all Book fanboys, just not all of us want to trade the rest of the team "to get him more help".

Not really. I feel like fanboys are irrational in their devotion to a player. I'd even say more people question if Book is good enough to carry us like Giannis or Steph can. We know he's great, but most of us feel like he needs more help than he already has. We could all probably list guys you might swap with Booker and feel more confident with the guys we've already got.

I didn't have enough time today to write about the game until now and I want to say that it was the best win of the season.

The second half was a joy to watch, Booker played an amazing 3rd quarter. He was hot all game long but in the 3rd he was UNSTOPPABLE.

Okogie and Biyombo played great as a role players next to CP3, Book and Mikal. They did exactly what they needed to do... rebounding, defense, screens, blocks, fouls...all the **** dirty work and Okogie specially was outstanding in the second half.

Very good game from CP3 and Mikal. They didn't put big numbers but they were solid and helped Book on offense.

CP3 is getting better and better with every game so I would not be surprised if he averages 15 points and 10 assists per game from here until the end of the season.

I love how all our bench players including injured players were absolutely pumped for this comeback. Those guys are part of an actual TEAM.

Props to Monty for playing Okogie all the entire fourth quarter, he made the right call.

Booker haters have a seat. I mean you should have never had a voice in the first place. But let it be known, ya'll got no place here.

I always find those comments pretty funny. How can any true Suns fan dislike Booker? He’s only the GREATEST Sun ever.

Yeah, weird comment. We maybe have some trolls on occasion, but I can't imagine regular posters being a hater. Sure, his slump was odd and talked about, but not something that I think anyone was concerned about going forward given his history.

As I mentioned, we had a bad streak, it happens. Players, teams, etc, have streaks and bad losses. It happens. Our season has been ups and downs, winning 6 of 7. losing 4 of 6 and many thought sky was following, then winning 6 of 7 again or 7 in a row, than losing 5 of 6 and everyone freaking out...took the Pels to OT but had Ayton foul out, had our worst shooting game ever from our 2 efficient players against Houston, and then a monster game from Book...

As I've also mentioned, given all the injuries we've had, I'm very happy that we have hung near the top as well as we have. Never would have expected it with no Crowder, Cam, missing Book and Ayton and Payne some games, etc. Wait until we are healthy and get something for Crowder.

[bwgood77]

Sarcasm ? Yes, people who only see fault in other players and rarely in their fave are player fanboys.

I don't think I've seen anyone on here that I'd characterize as a Booker fanboy. If anything, we have more Luka fanboys than Booker fanboys (not so much Luka over Booker, but Luka over Ayton, but still).

My response was related to Puff's post who threw everybody under the bus nevermind all those players were key for Booker getting to the finals. I sometimes feel a few others think Ayton is an obstacle to Booker's path to winning, which looking back has obviously not been the case.

Yeah, Bridges once a week? More like 4 out of 5 games. Ayton had a monster stretch followed by a a couple of games he didn't get many shots or score a lot sandwiched between a great game against the Pelicans where he fouled out..like 28/12/5 while Bridges had 27/5/3/2...almost beating them on the road where we have a bad record after getting killed by the same team with Book. They can be top options like they were in that game. Those games are evident of that. They both can get their own shots when they need to and are not reduced to role players even if they are not primarily go to guys for creating in our .5 offense for everyone but Book and Paul.

I was at this one. Probably my favorite regular season game I've ever attended.

Woof the first half was brutal, suns weren't really getting bad shots they just couldn't make ANYTHING. The Booker take over was ridiculous.

Really good comeback win. I made a comment before about how the team folds when things aren’t going their way and this was a great counter to that where they didn’t fold. Of course it helps Booker going crazy but overall Suns were fundamentally so much better defensively too. Booker, when he gets going, is a thing of beauty. Just as a basketball fan, the only other players that are as fun to watch when on fire imo is Curry and Lillard imo. Very entertaining stuff.
