This team is so deep. We don't have anyone in our regular rotation that is cringeworthy when they come in. They all bring something to the table, work hard, and could bring a spark. I cannot ever remember a Suns team being like that.

I don't believe.the was any malicious intent by Collins. It looked painful and the Suns are plucky that Booker wasn't hurt. Booker was too focused on going through Collins.and sticking to his assignment so he didn't see he screen until it was roo late. Devin. Needs to pay more attention. Guys will play until the final whistle in tournament games. You can't let up or lose focus.

Collins foot just touched down half a second before Books. How do you put that on Book? Look at the way Book's foot strikes Collins, it's within stride meaning that Collin was late in sticking that leg out.

I'm not putting it solely on Booker. It is the NBA and lots happen in fractions of a second. Contact is often incidental. Clearly Collins was headed towards Booker in an attempt to create space for the Utah ball handler by setting a screen. Booker seemed to lean into Collins more than work around him. If Booker was more cognizant of his surroundings then maybe he doesn't bang knees.

Just because it wasn't his fault doesn't mean he can't try to avoid contact like that. For example you don't see KD in those situations because he makes it a point to watch his surroundings and protect himself more.
