Suns can definitely run some defense heavy line-ups in post season with one of Paul or Booker directing traffic.

Glad to see Book in the 3pt and Chris in the skills.

Too bad we can’t see DA in the dunk contest. He would break the internet with a little flip lay-up.

Just sharing some quality content from ESPN. An insightful discussion about Booker sooner or later forcing his way to the New York Knicks.

Some gems in here are JWill apparently not knowing Kelly Oubre isn't with the Suns anymore, and whoever this other guy is thinking Devin Booker is still on his rookie deal.

They are always Laker fans trying to wish Books leaving into existence. The Knicks thing is a smokescreen.

Book was picked by KD as his 2nd pick from reserves. Judging Lebron's face, he wanted to make the same pick. That's what's up. Go Suns!

Bit OT but related the Timeline Podcast has been my favourite Suns podcast for a little while now. They are articulate, their analysis is excellent, their little highlight/analysis videos are really good and they have good podcast voices. Absolutely toasts the other Suns podcasts like the one the Espo does (used to listen, forgot the name now), the Locked-On Suns one with Brandon Kleen and even the Empire of the Suns (which I think is decent). Gotta give the SSOL Podcast with Nash a listen sometime.

That ZonaSports one on his D had some nice defensive plays by Book but man did the guy have the worst most unenthusiastic voice. Not that you necessarily have to be enthusiastic like Kevin O'Connor but at least sound professional like Mike Vigil does. He sounds good on the Timeline podcasts. I know it somewhat depends on your voice but it sounded a bit lazy on the effort with the voice which isn't good when you take the time to put together a highlight video.

Oh yeah when I listened to that episode, I thought he sounded super low energy. Having a good radio/podcast voice goes a LONG way. But then having highish energy like Espo doesn't help him because he's super annoying.

I don't even mean you have to be enthusiastic or high energy...but at least sound like you are not being forced to narrate the video.

Devin Booker has scored 81 points in the Suns' two closeout wins this postseason.

The only player with more points in his team's first two closeout wins of a single postseason is Michael Jordan (1989 and 1992). h/t @EliasSports https://t.co/JLcJqiBtDe

That's good, right? I mean MJ was no slouch he had his weaknesses but was a decent player.
