great thing about that play is that afterwards he didn't showboat or celebrate, he went right to talking with DA about the game.

Chemistry is outstanding, positionally we are set with power and depth in all positions (perhaps could upgrade Kaminsky to beat the Lakers).
The expectations of some are just too much. Every little mistake it criticized. I couldnt believe i saw a post about Ayton and how if he did something different on this one play he would have been in a better position to get an offensive rebound. It was a made basket. There was no rebound to be had. And Ayton is currently the #5 Offensive Rebounder in the league. Every little thing these guys do is put under a microscope. While we have a great team that many many of these people doubted in the preseason, some how their expectations have skyrocketed to a crazy high and honestly i dont think anything we do is good enough for them. We win games and they still tear players apart. 1 or 2 bad plays and that player is getting ripped to shreds by Suns fans all across the net. People need to chill a bit.

Exactly.
And it's no secret. Fans are aware of it. Coaching is aware of it. I'm sure the players are aware of it too.
That's going to be the difference in how deep of a playoff run we can make.
If he keeps that up, then thinking championship isn't as far fetched anymore

The shot went in but the defender had his back to DA. he could have went around him and grabbed an easy board if it missed.

The scary thing for the league is, this Suns team isn't even at it's peak, and our core players haven't reached their full potential either, and yet we sit 4th in the Western Conference standings. I've been thinking before the season even began we'd be a top 3 team in the West and could make the Western Conference Finals, but now with AD having a lingering injury I think we might be able to do more.

That makes sense. The ORTG numbers also clearly indicate that the team is considerably better on offense when he’s not on the floor. Seems hard to conclude “the rest of the players take advantage of” his presence on the floor when they do much better collectively on offense when he sits.
Yeah, it can be hard to tell sometimes. I'm sure the attention Booker receives makes things a little easier for some of the other guys but his turnover problems, especially early on, really hurt us. He has always been a bit turnover prone and I really wish he could tighten that up a bit.
Wouldn’t you expect the team to score more points with Booker on the floor than off, if he “makes things a little easier” on them, given the extra defensive attention he draws?
