You shouldn’t say anything when you down 46….

You guys have never played ball before CLEARLY-

When you getting beat down, you STFU and take that L like a man.

If Booker was trying to fight Luka while being down by 46 that would be so corny and stupid… Settle it on the court -

Which Booker did today- Booker not only out played Luka he got the W.

And if Booker wants to talk while winning- that’s the privilege of winning…

Getting smack talked and taking it is part of the agony of defeat -

A lot of you guys are soft… and don’t get it-

I loved when Luka looked was smiling after beating the suns down… and I love it today that Booker is talking crap…

It’s ball guys- no one got hurt - no one acted like Ja or Shannon Sharpe- these guys both conducted themselves like true ballers-

Luka talks a bunch of crap - Booker talks slick - no body threw a damn punch - it was perfect

If all games and competitors cared this much about winning and less about clubs and chains and guns and mean mugs and stats chasing the league would be so much better

F your swag - win the damn game.

Cool bro

I’m just saying man, do you want them to be friends with each other or do you want there to be some rivalry among the players? Can’t have it both ways now.

I'd rather them both shut their mouths and actually start winning. Both of them. All this Luka is Booker's daddy nonsense. It's all ridiculous. You've got one thats a perennial whiner who plays the game looking to flop and get calls and the other talks a big game for a guy that has copious amounts of help and should have won a championship with the amount of help he's had.

Their "rivalry" is at an all time high in cringe. This ain't Magic vs Bird. Those guys won.

You wanted him to talk **** when he was down 46? Are you serious right now? April 1st is still several weeks away, I don’t get what this is.

I’ve long had the belief that basketball fans generally have the lowest IQ among fans of all four major sports (NBA, NFL, NHL & MLB) and this is the reason why. They complain about players being too buddy-buddy with each other and how they miss the competitiveness and trash talk of the old days…but then when something like this happens and they do go for each other’s neck, suddenly it’s no-no.

Same thought man- this was one of the best ref season games of the year- partly because luka and Booker care about beating each other - I don’t need Duncan Vs Kawhi… every damn game

This was like if Westbrook was playing Pat Bev and they could actually back it up on the court lol

But Luka should?

Sure. As of now he lit Booker up on his home court and completely embarrassed him. Until Booker beats him in a meaningful game, he owns trash talking rights. But with KD on board and bowing out early, Booker should be thinking big picture. This should be a solid win and (given their ultimate goal) a small hurdle

This is so silly, does that mean Luka can never trash talk the Clippers or Warriors because he never beat them in a playoff series?

Do you realize how silly that is? :lol:

Luka acting like someone raised in a ghetto is actually pretty annoying. No wonder dirty players are going for his ankles.

Booker let his play do the talking from the start.

That was a fun game, very entertaining. Luka with a rare miss on an open layup lol.

It’s not false though. Didn’t Booker started talking to Klay only towards the end of the game?

*typo

I think it was towards the third quarter? But like here’s the thing, a couple post above us couldn’t have said it any better, you take an assbeating like a man, not during a blowout and then you talk your crap.

Kawhi would be like, “Luka, I don’t even know where you’re sitting at.”

Guys can talk trash to whomever they want to. No problem with that as trash talk is part of the game. Just saying they need to back it up when it matters. But him and the Suns choked massively on their home floor last time they got ahead
Of themselves. Booker as a player who went to the finals, lost and then got upset early with a bad performance should smile at a nice win and be on to the next one. Hopefully for Suns fans he’s focused on the ultimate goal and not again prematurely celebrating a regular season win against Luka

Players should save their trash talking and celebrations for the playoffs.

Got it.

If you showed this photo to someone who didn’t watch the game today (and didn’t hear anything about what happened during it) or to someone who doesn’t really follow basketball much, what do you think their reaction would be?

It feels like some wholesome content between two buddies cracking a joke and laughing about it.

Probably the only NBA altercation that I can ever remember where both guys were smiling so much during most of it. Both guys being good looking and having nice smiles are another part of it lol.

Good luck to them. Talk if you wanna talk, nothing wrong with a rivalry. I'll be more interested in the playoffs though, and judge it based on who plays better ball.

It was midway through the third quarter. When must players start talking trash to achieve your approval?

Problem with everything here is Booker never spoke to Luka to begin with; Luka motioned over to Devin and got iin his emotions. Why can't a **** player point something out to the ref that may have been missed? Obviously I am not saying something happened or didn't but Devin was probably trying to point something out.

Mavs fans are only allowed to decide when Booker can talk ****. Thems the rules.
