For the love of god; if the game is tight at the end, bench Booker!

He can't handle double teams and nor score on fadeaway 3's. He's, therefore, useless in clutch. The team will more likely get results from a lob to DA near the basket.

"The difference between those who are touted as stars and those who are accumulators (e.g. Beal vs. Booker) is that stars will put up 30 points and score 12 of them in clutch time of a close game and/or change the momentum in their team's favour. An accumulator will score 30 and either disappear when it's close, or put up the points in junk time and rarely, if ever, changes the game's momentum."

^^^ I've saved this post from the previous game thread and agree 100% with you. If we end up.keeping Booker for another 3+ years that would be a huge mistake but if he proves me wrong and turns into a winner finally leading this team somewhere, I'll eat crow and apologize for what I've said. But for now, I see him as a horrible fit for Ayton and Suns could still get few nice all stars for him and Oubre + roll players that will fit the system.

Gotta root for Mavs next year since I'm also Latvian. Sorry guys but you're losers and I'm betraying you. My team drafted Doncic and yours didn't.

Well, when you lose twice to the lowly Pistons within 3 weeks and underperform at home as opposed to road games its bound to happen. We could easily be within a few games of Memphis now but Phoenix enjoys playing with our hearts considering 90% of our roster is finally healthy.

Call me crazy but I am really excited about the game tonight.

Chriss and Bender together starting as their frontline. It's gonna be interesting.

I agree, with the caveat that he might get better in crunch time. Might. Being that, I won't apologize for saying he's been gutter trash thus far in his career when it matters most.

Tonight's the night. The mighty Phoenix Suns against Golden State Warriors. Both teams have trained really hard but who will have the upper hand in this duel? We can only wonder...

People probably block out the negativity here by ignoring users. Instead of seeing another side of Booker, majority here will worship him along with Oubre. God forbid somebody has a totally different opinion from theirs so " ignore button" comes in handy for them. For most its sunshine and rainbows and if it gets a bit dark and gloomy here they cant accept it they aren't ready for harsh reality that their saint " Booka" isnt a leader in a traditional way.

Ayton wigh a nice 6/2/1 steak and a block early on. What a phenomenal player in his 103rd game or something like that.

Return to Phoenix Suns
