Mitchell will always be a RPM king because he just do it all, like Mikal.

Just turned on ESPN First take and Stephen A Smith was talking about Booker and Mitchell said that Mitchell is a superstar while Booker is getting there. Is Mitchell really a superstar? That's enough tv for me turning it off.

Well he's been voted in 2 all star games and already had monster games in the playoffs last year and big games this year.

Hard to say who's better...of course as a Suns fan I want to say Book but Mitchell with the better 3 pt shooting, passing and defense this year and fewer turnovers. Booker better from 2.

Mitchell also with the far better net rating, WS/48, BPM and VORP if you put stock in those.

I understand that Mitchell is having a great year and continues to improve but labeling him a superstar is a reach. And this is coming from someone who enjoys watching Mitchell. When it comes to superstars I have Lebron, AD, Curry, Durant, Harden, Embiid, Jokic, Gianni, Doncic, Lillard & Kawhi.. Beal and Irwing not quite sure were I'd rank them.

mitchell carries a smaller burden on that jazz team imo. more threats to open things up for him.

Anyone have the final +/- for the series? Wanted to see where DA was…

Looks like +34

Book was +30, gaining 10 in the last game. Book was -2 after 4 games...so huge surge in the last 2.

Where are you seeing the totals? BRef only has individual games.

I watched the salsa dance again, and it is pretty funny, but he should have waited until the end of the game. Why was Morris allowed to leave the bench and walk on to the court? There wasn't a timeout. It is just ridiculous what the refs let the Lakers do.

I said this earlier in the thread. Book and Morris both got Ts for chirping in each others face on the court, yet Booker was an active player and Morris just walked off the bench!WTF

The T for Crowder dancing was super quick and you're right Morris should have been tossed BUT I do think the ref saw the game was over and all that was pretty quick whistled with the attempt to just put a stop to all the trash talk before things escalated. In that regard I didn't have any issues with how it was handled. Had it been a close game then yeah there would have been some issues.

Well, he still has Gobert inside all the time drawing a defender since he can't make anything outside of about 3 ft. I like our supporting cast and think everyone is a threat, but they were a slightly better 3 pt shooting team this year.

I had to add up the individual games, but I used espn. I assume they are the same.

Booker had to have had one of the greatest performances in Suns playoff history.

When he’s on he’s imo maybe a top 2 or 3 scorer in this league. He’s getting better at passing out of double teams as well. He basically scored in this series even with facing constant double teams and traps.

And his defense was fantastic in the series. They tried to set screens to get Booker guarding LeBron or Schroeder and Booker more than held his own. It’s super impressive to put in that much work offensively and still have the energy to play stellar defense which Booker played in this series.

It’s no wonder that basically every current and former star player of this league respects Booker’s game like crazy.
