I´m really cheering for a villain that kills the good Knight for us. Can´t expect a happy ending. Just hope it ends fast.

You can't knock the ball away like that, Len...

They counted it initially, with how calls have gone lately it's shocking it was reversed.

This game is unwatchable. I hate what a negative fan this season has turned me into.

Looks like after tonight Booker will be shooting under 40% FG and possibly under 30% 3PT

Another 20 point loss?

Cannot use the "rookie" and "youth" excuse, Bledsoe, Knight, Tucker, Chandler, Dudley and a few 3+ year players on the team....

Players dont fit well but also the coaching is atrocious.

Its hard to think of any positives.

One was watching booker now he sucks at the moment.

I watch to watch the rookies but they get no minutes.

I guess we are one game closer to trading knight in one positive

He's being developed wrong IMO.

He should be focusing on becoming a sharp shooter, Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver who can dribble... ala a rich man's Reddick.

THEN, play spot minutes as a play maker ala Poor man's Harden and Hayward.

THEN Year 3, 50/50 role as a shooter slash shot creator.

THEN Year 4, he'd be very good or even elite at both aspects... he becomes a triple threat player. Focus on defense.

THEN Year 5, you have someone hopefully resembling prime Ginobili... someone who can shoot, makes passes, drives, slash and makes high IQ plays.... but reliable defensively.

Right now, he is at the deep end being told to swim or drown... not everyone is Kobe Bryant..... heck Kobe is top 5 athlete when he was Booker's age so its not even close in regards to physical abilities. So you cannot treat them similarly... Watson keep mentioning Durant... well Durant moves like Booker but 6 inches taller, more athletic and has 8 inch reach advantage.

Something tells me the Suns will win this game. They will wake up.

Another dumb way to end the quarter.

Why would you want him to play any different than he was when he was excelling last year? There's no sense in limiting his game. It's not like he's not practicing his shooting at all or something. He's trying to do a lot of the same stuff as last year, but defenses are taking some it it away, just let him learn and adjust and he'll figure out what'll work for him. This isn't the first sophomore slump.

Terrible game, 14 points down and Westbrook isn't even trying.

Tucker - Chriss - Chandler together are decent defensively, but on offense we need something more, we can't score.
