Ok guys, so some of us have been chatting on discordapp.com during a Knicks@Suns game.
The Suns were about to win that game and everybody on chat was in a good mood.
High praises about Devin Booker's performance were just flying around:

- "dBook is a scoring machine: 41pts, efficient shooting"
- "I like his shot selection"
- "he's the Guy"
- "he's finally worth a MAX contract"
- etc, etc.

I am asking myself, would you guys use the same comments in case if dBook performed the same and Suns still lost the game?
Or would you maybe go something like:

- "he's a selfish guy who only cares to fill his stat sheet"
- "he made only 4 assists in 34 mins against the worst NBA team"
- "his defense is not existing: rare deflections, rare steals"
- "he still doesn't know how too feed big man Deandre Ayton in the paint"
- etc, etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's just a hypothetical question: How would you treat dBook's performance if the Suns lost that game?

P.S.: It's just a fun question for this weekend. See you.

There is nothing hypothetical about it. You have countless past game threads to check that.

You could even cross reference his game performances on losses with his Nashty scores to make a cool statistic about it!

There were 4 people including me in that chat, and I was barely in there. But anyway, Booker gets credit when he plays well (shoots efficiently, passes and limits turnovers, and gets criticisim when he dominates the ball too much, freezes teammates out, doesn't pass as much and/or has a ton of turnovers and/or doesn't shoot efficiently.

And he HAS to perform at an EXTREMELY high level on offense to overcome is almost league worst defense. He's down there with Crawford on that end so if his offense isn't on fire it hurts.

Same goes for pretty much any player...if they play well they get praise, if not they don't.

I'm totally ok. Not sure why you became aggressive, suddenly.

Thought I gave a good suggestion on how to verify the question you brought up, but also noticed from the mod's post that the subject was a bit forced upon.

No clue why that makes me an expert on anything or a, god help me, TOPIC-KILLER!!!

I think Mathias is just being aggressive because he can't overtake and maintain that premier league top spot.

I thought I had you there for a moment. When I entered the data into the "per game" sheet, I came out as 1st, but then found out it was because I forgot to remove the * signs from two ties in the FT and FG cats.

That put me back to 3rd, way behind you and Qwigglez.

Oh no, now I'm also a TOPIC-DERAILER!!
