Booker as PG doesn't work. Feels like he will TO every time he dribbles.

KAT's defense on KD has been damn good this series

What the last sweep was in 2015? Almost a decade ago? That seems ridiculous, didn't know they were so rare. Feel like we get a sweep almost every year.

I think they meant when the other team sweept the regular season and then got swept in the playoffs. Lakers got swept last year.

2 fouls on Nurk early. That could be costly as the game moves on

PHX won't get any rebounds now with such a small lineup.

Not sure how that’s a foul on Rudy

Beal/Booker/Gordon/KD are all on the floor together smh

Booker’s rep has really taken a huge hit. He had that bounce back run last year after the embarrassing game 7 but he is clearly now a level (or two) below the top guys

It's a shame both KD and Booker will be on team USA. These dudes can't even get past the 1st rd as teammates.

Is Bookers entire game almost based off foul baiting lol

What a joke

These players now just veer back or into defenders and flail

This stuff was never supposed to be called a foul and hopefully they allow defenses to defend

At least in the playoffs defenses can be a bit more physical

So true. With them, Embiid and Kawhi the US is ripe to get upset.

Unfortunately if you are not in position in the restricted area any contact no matter who causes it is on the defense.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
