I liked seeing Tyler and Chriss reactions to the confrontation.


It's funny baby fat Booker with a temper and skinny Chriss being a tough guy. These guys are gonna get their asses whooped if they don't watch out.

That could be a fun team building activity. It shows how close the young guys are, Alan and Tyler stepped up quick, Len ran across the court, Chriss gets moved to the side very easily.

If they're going to be feisty like this they better all hit the weights the simmer. Get on the Dwight Howard, Wade, lebron HGH workout plan.

Demanding a bit much of Booker, aren´t we? Not only do we want him to have the competitor attitude, but he cannot have it too much as to be disrespectful to any player in the NBA, even when being hot headed among a very disappointing season..

all this at 20 years old!

Come on Booker! You´re not perfect! How disappointing!

He can do whatever he wants.
But facts are he is an inefficient scorer on the 2nd worst team in the league and likes to talk trash to people but it seems he can't handle it when it's talked back to him.

Some news outlets just now catching up...

http://www.denverstiffs.com/2017/2/10/14581238/stiff-list-devin-booker-the-nba-league-office-the-new-york-knicks-nba-charles-oakley-james-dolan

While it’s true that Daniels has been a journeyman in the NBA and does not possess the talent of Booker, Devin probably needs to slow his roll because basketball isn’t about individual performance, it’s about getting wins as a team and Booker’s team has been putrid. For a good portion of the start of the season he had a lot to do with that as his shooting was abysmal. Booker’s improved, I’ll give him that, but the Phoenix Suns are still god awful. Less time complaining about trash talk, more time focusing on getting out of 15th, also known as LAST, place in the Western Conference.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/m/babb62e8-d389-3a70-aa75-f145e2a83e1c/ss_devin-booker-puts-down-troy.html

1. Booker is going to be beloved in this league. Fans and media love a player with the confidence to come out, after a 19-point butt-kicking, and run down the role player who talked trash to you, after you were a minus-21. That kind of undaunted confidence is awe-inspiring and endearing. He's going to be a megastar in this league someday.

Say what you want about Daniels as a player but Booker has been in the league for only a season a half, he doesn't have the resume to speak on another man's resume.

As good as Booker has been, Jokic has been even better. I haven't been paying attention to him this season but holy wow, he looks like the 2nd best player in the draft. Better than Booker, better than D'Angelo, better than Porzingis...only reason he's not #1 is because Embiid is a monster, but when you consider Embiid's injury risk/minutes restriction, Jokic might even be an equivalent prospect. Denver got a freaking steal.

Isn't Embiid from a different draft class or are you just talking about all the young players in general?

oh you're right, I mixed up my drafts

after looking at the 2015 draft again, I think Jokic is second only to Towns

Jokic was picked in 2014 but didn't come over for a year. 41st pick in that draft and considering injury issues for the rest of that class im not sure id take anyone over him.

That draft class is so star crossed and weird.

Didn't see this part of the game. Completely different Z-Bo from the one that Amundson stood up to
