Skip Bayless - Devin Booker had "hamstring tightness" in Game 2

[og15]

If Bucks will win won't that mean they are asterix champions? Winning against injured team. Or does this only apply to the Suns?

Id say they're even in facing injured teams.
Suns have Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers.
Bucks have Nets, Suns and kind of Hawks, but not really since Giannis was hurt.

At the end of the day, injuries happen.

Didn't Suns have a one armed Paul for the majority of the Lakers series? He then missed the first two games of the Clippers series. That seems to be pretty equal to Giannis being hurt vs the Hawks, since both teams were able to pull of wins without their guy.

Did he have hamstring tightness in the WCF too?

Didn't hear anything about that, the Clippers defense did a good job on him (yes I know he hurt his nose). He wasn't as comfortable as he would want to be in that series regardless of injury.

Lots of guys have nagging injuries right now they are playing thru, everybody thought Giannis was out for the playoffs and maybe next season too a week or two ago. CP3 playing injured shooting hand.

He just reported on Undisputed, and said it happened in Game 2, and it carried over to Game 3.

Apparently Booker is doing better after playing low minutes and 2 days off.

If he tweaks that hamstring again, you might as well take Bucks in 6 to the bank and bet the 401k on it, like Nick Wright suggested before Game 3.

Even if Booker is far from 100% Middleton will have to show up for a road game at some point for the Bucks to take this series

[Harry Garris]

Skip's the best and nobody beats him. Nobody.

They don't have to. He contradicts himself that he does it for them.

[Currygoat]

If skip reports it then it’s true. He has really good sources and was right when he said Leonard had a major knee injury

[bwgood77]

Skip the only one with this inside scoop? He have connections to the Suns? Doubtful.

Anyway, Booker has had a lot of bad shooting games. If he did have tightness and it was still an issue he should sit out game 4 and let it get better..don't let it linger.

Suns might play better with CP3, Bridges, Cam Johnson, Crowder and Ayton starting with Payne and Craig off the bench. Better shot distribution and fewer turnovers. Booker has shot 25% or under from 3 in the playoffs and under 15% in 6 games. Those are killers.

Paul and Ayton with all of our better 3 pt shooters and Mikal and Cam cutting would be tough.

If Skip is the first one to report anything, then it is almost certainly a lie. That’s always a good rule of thumb.

He literally reported the Leonard injury two weeks ago but ok

[BodieB]

We're elevating Booker to the built in excuses for poor play already? Maybe he is a superstar...

[Lockdown504090]

How would the Suns adjust their lineups if Booker went down in this series with a hamstring injury.

They can't. Their bench is broken without Saric and Payne seemingly going MIA.

Its almost like they'd have to bring Jevon Carter or Langston Galloway back into the rotation, which would force Cam Johnson into the starting lineup.

Come on now. Stop playing. Y'all believe what Skip says? What a joke.

Skip had the Kawhi news before everyone.

I posted it before he said it. I posted it in at least 5 threads that I was sure it was an ACL. Weeks ago. You can go find it. Skip doesn't have sources. He made a prediction that had a 95% chance of being true and he happened to be right. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that if a star player is missing 2 entire playoff series due to a knee injury, something is probably torn in that knee.

Do you know how many times SKip reports something that turns out *not* to be true? way more often. A broken clock will be right twice a day.

If Skip had a connectino to Kawhi, he would have reported him going to the Clippers, and not the Lakers like everyone else.
