Suns @ Clippers Thursday WCF game thread 6-24-2021 - Game 3

I guarantee it’s an issue if it’s broken. You just can’t have an uncomfortable sensation in the middle of your face and not have it be a distraction.

when I say its not issue I don’t mean he will just be normal. I just mean he won’t have a complete melt down and go 2 for 25.. of course a broken nose will affect your play but will it be an issue that will affect the team in a negative way? I highly doubt it.

How do we get books nose isn’t broken from that tweet?

I suppose it's assumed by the tweet saying his nose is "fine". Though it could just mean he will be fine to play with it.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Have there been any reports it is broken?

Not that I’ve seen. Full disclosure that I’m working on that assumption based on how swollen it was post game. A cut usually doesn’t swell to that extent.

It doesn’t say his nose is fine. It says Booker is fine.

OK. The only thing that I read which was from Bleacher Report saying they didn't think he broke it. Who knows though the way the Suns comment on this stuff.

Book probably doesn't have a broken nose. It was looking swollen and crooked from the numbing injections they gave him for the stitches. The team looked at it in the locker room and determined it wasn't broken. Book probably wears a mask anyway to protect the wound. Suns in 4

 

[Germz249]

I am disappointed in you guys. Surprised no one has posted videos of the team getting on the plane or at shoot around and using that to analyze Booker’s nose.

Soft tissue damage could be even worse. but there were still two stitches put in.

my daughter got her bridge broken. She opted to have it snapped back when the swelling went down a couple of days later. She played with a mask for a month but didn’t really bother her.

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

Book said the team doc said it wasnt broken. no link, heard it on the radio yesterday on the way to pick up Los Cerritos

He said that in the post game presser.

"Fine" I took to mean that he was good to play, not that his nose was OK.

Same happened with my son's nose. The sound when the doc snapped that bone back into place was horrific.

Yea. He comes out strong for a few quarters but fades in the 4th.

He literally scored 10 of his 26 points in the 4th...that's not fading in the 4th. He missed 3 critical free-throws in the 4th, but that has nothing to do with legs.

I agree. You have this strange feeling on your face and it can affect your vision, especially with movement. It is also likely swollen.

what did he score in the 4th in game one? Or game 6 against Utah? And what part of he comes out strong did you get scoring? I am talking about his body language.. his defense.. you can see he is gassed at moments. When guys are standing around waiting for the refs and he is leaning on the table during reviews.

Its why he is considered a #2 not a #1

He scored 10 in game 6 against UTAH and 1 in Game 1 against Suns...but had 10 in Game 2...He may be tired, but he's showing a pattern of scoring in the 4th, like he's tired.

A perfect time for Paul to come back. Suns will get an emotional boost seeing him out there plus will feel a little loose coming off that second win. Increased firepower with Paul has to help their confidence in LA.

Meanwhile Clips backs are against the wall and coming off a deflating loss. They have no room for error...they have to play almost flawlessly

Clipper problems.

We're the ones that have to figure out what finger to put our officially licenced Phoenix Suns replica Championship Rings on.

OMG Joe...... I'll hate Stackhouse forever.

P.S. I think the two biggest wins tonight are going to be moving Payne to the second team for added firepower and consistency, while also getting back the calming presence of CP3 when the crowd goes nuts on the road.

I am just hoping any rust is shaken off quickly.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess we did need a thread about Devin Booker's nose.

They should wheel Booker out on a dolly with a Hannibal Lecter mask on.

Or Jason of Friday the 13th.

Also a chainsaw would be a nice touch.
