I sense that you are right; the Suns are playing real "basketball" right now, as opposed to guys being prescribed to certain roles and spots on the floor.

And Len has been very active.

Lakers defense is embarassing, might be worse than ours lol

Booker shouldn't start games shooting from deep. He needs to play smart and try getting to the rim first.

Booker...jesus...........

Booker is really really off tonight.

9 blocks at the half for a team averaging just 4.

Lakers' defense is a mess btw.

It should be Bledsoe's birthday every gameday

Booker was going two-for-one there, but if you pull up well behind the top of the arc for an off-the-dribble three, you had better do better than an air ball (his second of the half). Otherwise, the shot was not worth taking even with the two-for-one goal.

He has to learn to largely eliminate the questionable shots, of which he attempts too many.

Bledsoe is having a killer game on his birthday so far, love what I'm seeing from him.

Only explanation I have for Book being such a bad shooter for a "shooter" is due to him not taking enough "game pace" shots in practice.

I don't believe it's the toe.

That was Len's half. He looked so relaxed.

I feel like that can be said for the majority of his games this year.

I remember last year feeling like every shot he took was going to go in. I now the complete opposite, I now expect him to miss every shot

It could be that he is simply not as good a shooter as some seem to think

Other than shooting, 3 boards, 3 assists, 0 turnovers for book. Don't know what we need to do to get his shot right.

I remember reading Kentucky fans describing him as really streaky his lone year there.

Walton such a good coach

grumpysaddle · Post #58 » by **grumpysaddle** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 4:50 am

I think Booker is as good a shooter as advertised I think he's just having second year jitters. He'll start putting it together. One positive is that he doesn't seem to be letting it get him down.

Don't be ridiculous, Devin Booker is really smart and really funny.

... and a really good shooter.
