Anybody else notice that Booker's 70 pt game came against the C's in his third game back from injury?

Booker scored 12 of his 27 points and dished out five of his eight assists in the fourth quarter, including a one-handed dunk and a looping hook shot that drew “oohs” from the crowd. He has now recorded at least 25 points and eight assists in six consecutive games, a feat also accomplished since 1983-84 by only Westbrook, Michael Jordan, James Harden, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Do you think Booker will be in 3 point contest this year? He won it last time but his shoting got worse this season.

This kid misses a lot of games. This could be bad going into the future.......

When can we start calling him injury prone?

Post #370 » by **bwgood77** » Mon Jan 7, 2019 11:15 pm

With his new contract he needs to work with the medical staff a lot for preventive injuries, and spend money on things like LeBron does.

Also he needs to not play unless he is completely healthy or he's just going to hurt the team not being at full strength and things will linger all season.

With a b2b he should probably sit out tomorrow if he has any pain, even a little and play the next night vs Dallas, though that one will be tough since they are at home and play really well there.

Hopefully Acy can get some minutes

Luka with more votes than PG/KD and AD is more insane than Rose with more votes than Harden, Westbrook and Dame right?

Beal being the most consistent All star level player #10 behind Goran (out until ASW), Lin and Lavine is also a bit nuts

No, at least Luka is legit good. Rose is shooting well but he's not that great. Obviously it's absurd that Luka is ahead of those guys but Rose ahead of Harden or the other guys is really a joke.

Luka is legit good but the guys he's passed over, PG/KD/AD are all MVP level players this season. I think only Harden is MVP level player among guards

Then how would you call Cousins being on this list?

Sure, collectively those three are better this year, but those are all still top tier players..Lillard was 1st team all NBA last year and RW MVP 2 years ago.....I mean those guys are on a different planet than Rose...who is older and has had a nice little resurgence. Doncic is obviously a super talent even if he isn't anything close to those MVP level guys...he's a hell of a lot closer than Rose is.

Suns need to find a stop gap PG before the trade deadline. Booker is having to do too much. He should not be the main facilitator and scorer. Its breaking him down.

We'll really need one when Booker gets shut down after the break.

Where would you rank last year's Booker on the 2004-05 team?
