Booker is amazing and I love him....but this is ridiculous.
I was just going to ask why Book was back in. That's a little embarrassing.
Was gonna ask the same thing but then noticed how **** bad we were for the 3 minutes Booker was out.
True, but it's like he sat because theoretically down by 23 or whatever it was with 4-5 minutes left you are definitely out of it with really no chance. So then we get down by 30 and he comes back in.

Lol. General board is already salty about "stat padding" when Booker scored what? 3 points after he was put back in? He passed the ball the first like 3 possessions.

This is one of the craziest box scores I've seen. Just pathetic outside of Booker. Damn Jimmer....

Had another opportunity in the NBA, and he blew his shot. 8 of them so far...
Blew it by not giving it to Booker on 59
I mean... he is from Utah, he was doing them a solid there.

He probably took Booker out to signal to the Jazz that we are waiving the white flag. Jazz kept the onslaught, probably not even purposely our team is just that bad. Koko decided the team was so horrible he had to put Booker back in.

Thats why I was kinda annoyed he went back in... 56 with no padding is better than the possible 60 with padding given the way his 70 was perceived,

The Jazz had Gobert, Rubio, Ingles, and i think Mitchell was still in for a couple minutes after Booker sat, but no one is bringing that up? They were up 25+ and playing their starters. But... Booker comes back in and it's a travesty?

It's not a travesty...ultimately I don't care...but I agree either don't sit him at all, especially if their starters are in, but when you do, down 20+ near the end, I wouldn't bring him back in. No big deal either way. The reputation, deserved or not, will be there until we start winning.

Pathetic defense from the soft ass Deandre Ayton tonight. I really miss Kelly Oubre man.

Honestly I’m glad we brought Booker back in. While he sat it was a 3 minute **** show of Jimmer chucking shots and we were a circus for the crowd. At least with Booker we were making those chucked shots.

We were up big against the Kings, we were right there until about half way in the 3rd against the Pistons, competitive throughout the Pels game and ran out of gas against the Rockets and Jazz in the 4th.
I think we're going to do better than a 30pt loss but it'll certainly be a loss.

here's the onslaught of general board posters that haven't actually ever watched a Suns game posting about how Booker is the reason the Suns are bad because he's a selfish chucker. Saying the team will figure it out and turn it around if he's traded, not realizing how bad the team has looked in booker's absence, which there have been many of, due to all the tanking and weird injuries he's gotten. JOY.

I always thought that 70pt came was more negative than positive for fans of Bookers. It not only put him on the map but also, in a single game, created this narrative that he's an empty stats chucker.

Over/under 45 for Booker against the Wizards?
