    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    you confirmed that i've been talking about Book's problem for years, and he keeps proving me right, but your best denial is there's a "greatest Sun's ever" thread? Even if that was true it wouldn't dispute the evidence of his poor decision making, especially in the clutch. Here's more...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    also, as evidence, Booker got us within 2 games of a championship because the perfect remedy for what ails him/us was one of the best bb-iq floor generals in history calling the shots in crunchtime -- but he was beat up after the long playoff run just like our #1 close-out start of this season...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    i don't even know what "aggregate" means and i can only assume "second apron" is a reference to 2 cooks in the kitchen but i don't know what that has to do with basketball i'm not starting a fire, i'm commenting on the flames flame-outs in particular, the past 3 seasons (Milwaukee 4 in a row...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    The players who aren't fan favorites, like Nurkic, are more freely blamed (who i believe is a better than average center who doesn't work out well with some match-ups. Bud just needs to call plays so that he isn't standing unguarded behind the 3pt line feeling obligated to take the shot). like...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    i didn't say ai wasn't clutch! i said he and the others were not winners because they were 1on1 in the clutch instead of taking advantage of team ball! and you know who's not on that list of 30 clutch shooters? Booker, shooting 25% from 3 in the final minute in the past couple of seasons, but i...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    now let's see the reel of the 200 times in 10 years that he's passed on the shot at the end of quarters. and started chucking shots when the Suns are blowing out a team and he knows he'll be sitting soon but that's fluff, and a distraction from the main issue -- the reason the Suns will be 0 in...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    yes, and, like Amare, what Booker needs is a ticket to NY where he will thrill them for a few years and not win anything - instead of it being us for a full 60 years. this game was a perfect case in point. Booker was hot and the team played with confidence (when he's not, they typically don't)...

    Booker (-29) rarely looks inspired any more and he's not inspiring his teammates either he needs a change of scenery New York

    Suns @ Kings Wednesday game thread, November 13th, 2024

    the past 2 games are a good example of Booker's value. He has to be hot for us to get our money's worth out of his super-max salary. Most superstars have at least one attribute you can't fully negate. Size, strength, agility, speed, smart under pressure, elite defensive ability. KD, for example...

    Kings @ Suns Sunday game thread, November 10th 2024

    essentially, i agree. His understanding of the game is sound. However, his ego/emotions get the better of him in crunch time or when riled up and his bb iq drops. That's why he did fit in with team USA, with clutch superstars taking the reigns and with CP3 being the coach on the floor here for 2...

    Kings @ Suns Sunday game thread, November 10th 2024

    like i've been saying for years. Booker is not very bright, especially in the clutch. He missed 2 game winners tonight, and, as is his MO, he likes to take difficult 3 pt shots when we only need 1 or 2 pts to win. Last season when he made a game winner, the highlight reel had to go back to the...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    the Suns' glaring problem is ZERO championships while we just watched the Celtics bag their 18th with SMART ball play. the biggest problem this season, is that our bad decision making in 4th quarters was among the worst in NBA history. Why this season when for a couple of seasons we were the...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    Bridges being top dog for the Nets was the same curse as Booker being top dog for the Suns. Neither can lead a team to a championship.The Knicks did the right thing by pairing him with Brunson. Actually, the Suns would have been better off trading Booker for Brunson. We'd have a true point...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    sure, Book could improve his offensive consistency, but he did do that in game 4. It prevented us from being blown out for the 4th straight game, but we still lost -- at home. He just doesn't have the instincts or intellect to be a consistent LEADER, DEFENSIVE PLAYER, or DECISION MAKER. As such...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    just listened to a half hour of Gambo -- the company guy. Points the finger at everything but the coach and the team's super max player. He never misses an opportunity to call it "Booker's team" until each occurrence of them being humiliated. Gambo is going with the old "size" and "roster"...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    i agree. I thought the first few weeks of the season he seemed poised for the next level. But then it was like CP3's good influence wore off. And his demeanor changed. He used to get visibly hot-headed. Now he kind of mockingly laughs things off a bit like Luca. It's like he's on mood meds...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    i should add, that, specifically, the curse is an NBA star that doesn't know their rightful place on a team. And instead of the assets they bring being a blessing, their place prevents the team from putting together the right pieces to win -- in terms of leadership, role-filling, and salary...

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    in the past decade we festered at the bottom of the standings and in recent years -- strings of blowouts and some of the most embarrassing collapses in sports history why so bad the past decade? the prior KJ, Barkley, Kidd, Nash eras didn't produce rings but were commendable, impressive, and...

    Durant to Suns

    so while asking to "cut back on the nick names" you, as Super Moderator, endorsed the propagation of "insufferable" with a thumbs up to the bully's comments and they all had another good laugh at my expense. all i did here was apply common sense to predicting outcomes of the Suns mistakes and...

    "2sun," "insufferable," "no backbone," "someone this board doesn't need" -- case in point. you're nasty at 64 i've been diagnosed with one heart attack and the same heart issues that killed my dad at 70 there are stresses that can't be avoided in life you're not one of them i've already said...

    Durant to Suns

    nope. can't predict random events. but indeed, i've got an excellent track record of common sense observations that are too unfiltered for a few of the in-crowd here. so, if the Suns win it all this year i'll be happy to drop back in to say, "i was wrong." Otherwise, my next 4 words will sadly...

    Durant to Suns

    well, the logical forecast is that, indeed, "the sky is falling" the last thing i predicted before i checked out a couple of months ago was that Booker was going to try to do too much, re-injure his hamstring/groin and miss a lot of time. and i said all along that a Durant trade would be a...

    i promise to satisfy the haters this time and depart like a slew of other posters pushed out by the silencers for keeping things real. In the end, even not replying and minding my own business proved impossible. (warning Caro, this will waste your time too. so skip it, sit back, and drink the...
