If by that you mean reply to Luka after Luka cursed at him, then you have a good point.


Booker is soft, it's exactly what he would do. The type of kid to mouth off then run away. Anyone remember the summer runs a couple years back where he started whining about double teams


He has been in numerous confrontations on video and never once has “backed away”. Luka started the trash talk last night as video showed, so why are you in your feels about Book?

This is the problem these days... people comment on things without knowledge...just reading a headline is enough to get them in their own feelings.

You mean the Grizz with Ja Morant cosplaying being a gangsta and you wanna talk about Book? GTFO. Did you even think for two seconds before posting that? :lol:


Ja cosplaying as a gangsta, and you cosplaying as Temetrius. That's some irony bro. :wink:

That's a charge? To me it's just the classic leaning with your shoulder playing bully ball, which I thought people loved because it's more old school... Is that a problem suddenly that guys play aggressive and near the rim? Booker wouldn't have liked Shaq.

I'm still not sure how that's a story.

Luka missed a bunny, the fact that Booker was calling for charge made absolutely no sense considering the game was over. It would have made sense if Luka made it, but in this case, he was yapping for no reason. The two guys got in each other's face, which people should like considering we've been complaining forever about the buddy-buddy mentality of some NBA players. ut now if they get into each other's face, someone is butthurt?

Why does anyone want to see something negative in that?

And Booker was talking trash "Your ass is weak." and "Dont f*** with me."

The game was not over. Suns up 2 with KD at the line. Unlikely he misses in the clutch but far from over. I get your point and not trying to argue about if its a charge or not but we have seen that called a charge plenty of times before.

The game wasn’t over. How can you object to Book asking for a charge but then act surprised that others are objecting to the trash talk?

The trash talk isn’t a big issue, or it shouldn’t be. It’s two competitors going at it. But the narrative that many were trying to spread ITT about Booker starting it is 100% false.

The only issue I really have is Luka’s postgame comments about this, when he knows he was the one who started the talking by telling DB to STFU.

You can't keep quiet all game and suddenly just start talking trash when the game is decided.

Why? That is the absolute best time to do it. When the other moron who was talking can't do anything about it since you outplayed him.

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).


This year Dallas has been better for most of the season, until just recently. The first two years, the Mavs were clearly the better team. So I would say it was pretty much even in who had the better team.

You're with Luka, because Luka lies about this? Booker talks all the time, all game, no matter what the score(unless they are losing by 40, I guess), and has been talking since he was a teenager in this league on a crappy team.

What? Are you serious? Just say that you've never or rarely watched Booker without saying you never or rarely watch Booker. The narrative has you captive off of summer pick up games. lol

Luka is genuinely such an unlikable player. Slow, whiny, unathletic, broken jumper, awful defence, ballhog, etc. Can't believe I rooted for this guy last playoffs.

Brunson left the guy and is flourishing on the Knicks.

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 type of thing is one of the reasons 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.

Ya know. When you start speaking of IQ's in generalities, you out yourself as prejudicial, and I am not talking about racially so. This is one of the worst takes I have ever seen. It indicts an entire, very disparate, group of people as less intelligent that the general masses.

I can believe Booker here.

Can't imagine he's talking much trash to Luka these days.
