It’s similar to the Clippers DNPing their best defensive player most of the year (Covington) who is top 3 in the NBA in deflections, steal and blocks combined per minute

Booker is a smug prick. One of the most unlikable players in the nba. Wasn’t saying a word when he was down by 46 to Luka in a game 7.

Why, what's Luka going to do, whine to the refs about it.

Book was talking/complaining to the ref. Luka should know all about that, not sure why he got his feelings hurt.

Lol. And Luka is one of the biggest babies and whiners in the NBA. Booker wasn't even talking to his ass, but to the ref.

Luka did really well today going 8-23 and 1-9 from 3 as well :lol:

Who is talking when they’re down 46? Like ever? They’re just going to point at the scoreboard. Practically that makes no sense. Furthermore, what makes booker unlikeable? He plays pretty hard, he’s not a dirty player, not a serious flopper. Talks trash, doesn’t load manage. Is being humble a requirement to like someone?

Quite easy to score when you can elbow your defender in the post and the defender gets called for the foul…..and even that is not enough for him to stop complaining.

Him doing that, and Jalen Brunson pretending he got his teeth knocked out every other possession against the Suns/Warriors was so annoying to watch.

Booker is constantly doing and saying some sneaky stuff during games. I'd get Luka the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Dude Luka is pretty insufferable with the constant whining. No, it’s not comparable to anyone else. He’s easily the worst out of all the big stars.

He really shouldn’t complain about other people. Crying to the ref every single time is just as annoying to the opposition as some good natured trash talk at the end of a regular season game.

Yes the 6th seed adding Kyrie Irving makes them better than the 5th seed pre-KD Suns. How is that hard to understand?

The part where it's a blatant lie.

Not sure if that's worth anything. Booker's had the better team pretty much the entire time AND he got knocked out in the only series of games that actually mattered (including one particular game that was historically bad for his team).

Somebody’s lying here. Luka saying Booker talked smack to him while Booker saying he was talking to the ref.

On TV, it looked like Booker was talking to the ref.


It definitely Luka was talking to the ref but about Luka. The fact he repeated himself like 10 times clearly shows he wanted the smoke with Luka.

Dude needs to realize there are levels to this but I guess he can hide behind KD going forward lol.

Booker does the same thing on his midrange jumpers...this guys all push off...Luka, Booker, Kawhi, James,Harden...the league allows it cause it favors the ofense...if they'd call the game like it should be,there's be a lot of travelling,carrying the ball...watch some clips of Devinthelab...KD is almost the single exception...JA is terrible...sims like he carries or travels every single possesion

Probably a lot of Lakers fans are salty that the Suns knocked the heavily favored Lakers in the 2021 playoffs.
