Booker needs to get his head out of his ass. He's my favorite current player, but he's been bad/dumb lately.

Ridiculous play, you run an alley to DA to tie it and throttle them in OT.

The same play we ran up for Oubre few months ago.

Bad final play. Bad call going to Booker in the corner.

Unacceptable loss. Games like these show has far away we really are from being good again.

How many times have we ended the game with a dumb ass play? I don’t get it.

Excuse me?

Good jump shot = defender commits to your jump shot = you attack the close out = layup/dunk. Adding a jumper is literally expanding Ayton's game and making him more effective inside. You become less effective on offense when you have less ways to score.

The guy is unstoppable in the paint, yet settles for the jumpshot too often. Encouraging him to settle for jumpshots and not go harder inside is not the kind of mindset we should be instilling right now. Perfect the paint game, then expand your range. And thanks for being civil this time.

With such little time left, I would have setup the shot for Ayton because nobody would be expecting it and it doesn't have to be from 3

Well it was a fun chasing the playoffs. Time to cheer for player development, draft and FA

Why was there 1.3 on the clock btw? Detroit inbounded with 1.9 and the timeout was called even before we had possession. It didn't take half a second for the refs to see a timeout was called.

Suns played this game like they're already proven winners. They had no passion until they got down big at the end. The Suns need to play like they're underdogs every game. They're not good enough to take so many **** nights off.

Exactly my question

That was pathetic trying to create a foul. That wasn't even close to a foul. Booker tried to create one and then whined for a long time. I hate it when any player tries to create that foul and launch a bad shot. I know sometimes the rules or calls make it beneficial but it's just bad basketball. I mean if you are hacked and it is already going to be a foul, sure, throw up a shot, but don't try to jump into someone...this isn't just Book, but anyone. Someone should just tell him to play ball and ask if he'd ever try to do that in a pick up game and complain he got fouled and should shoot 3 free throws.

No one is saying that he needs to be shooting 3s like Embiid or KAT but if he can expand his shot out to the free throw line or the elbow that helps him a ton. Then opposing bigs have to respect him from there and he can then take those same slow bigs off the dribble and put it right in someone's face.
