Suns @ Mavericks 3-11-17

[hsandhu]

The suns basically put booker in the harden role, give him the ball, put everyone around him, run screen and role when need to... let him go to work.

Oh yeah, he's freaking 20... a week younger than jaylen brown. BTW, let's go blazers, beat us tomorrow.

 

[JerkFace]

I want to lose as much as the next guy, but Booker hitting big game shots is a good thing.

 

[GatorAZ]

Booker is a savage.

 

[Mainstreet]

Has he made any 3pt shots with the Suns? Or even attempted more than 1?

I'm think you are right. He has only attempted one 3 point shot and it happened tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

Rick Carslie is an absolute idiot for not double teaming Booker down the stretch when not one other Suns player had anything going besides him.

Booker was going to take the shot. Everyone knew it.

Although it might not have done any good double teaming him the Mavericks should have tried or kept the ball out of his hands.

This seems like one of those Booker breakout moments... again. WOW!

What can we do..Tell our superstud to tone it down? Yeah riiiiight....










So who we drafting at #8?

None of the teams that we are above in the reverse standings are helping us out either...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Everyone knows how to tank when it counts except us. Sigh. Playing ourselves out of the best opportunities for a stud in a wasted season. Great.

Not sure how many times I'm gonna have to say this, but the Suns are winning with their young players. What are they supposed to do differently to lose games? Sit guys like Booker and Warren when they are perfectly healthy?

Yeah checking scores tonight was no fun.

I wish the season ended TODAY.

Ya know...That's the cold truth. Then we got Brandon Knight...The perfect tanking weapon...Who is MIA. Did that dude die of shame or what??

 

[pokerface]

Where was all this intensity earlier in the season? The suns are playing like its the f'n finals!

That would be taking Ulis out of the lineup. Not a fan of that idea regardless of what it would do for the tank. Playing Knight over either Ulis or Bledsoe at this point would only send a bad message to the rest of the locker room.

Booker was amazing in the last few minutes.

Well even if Knight would have played ten minutes in a close game it could have made a difference.

Ah well...We are just along for the ride.

Actually TBF he could be taking Barbosa's minutes. It makes me wonder if the team is legitimately concerned about the possibility of his trade value going down even further. Maybe they are hoping to unload him in the off season and don't want him to do anything to further hurt his value?

We've played .500 ball this season without Knight (6-6 if I did it right). Which means we are 16-38 when he does play, that's a huge swing for a reserve player. It's tough to justify playing him especially since it has to be a balloon buster for everyone else that's forced to stand around and watch him jack up shots from the 2.99 line.

 

[pokerface]

Hey Booker... Later in your career when the suns arnt up to snuff and you're asking for the team to bring in help...Remember how this draft went down!


Kapish?

Well thats too bad for them. Coaches can play who they want. What are they going to do...Not try as hard? Brandon is a suns player.. nuff said!

What do you want him to do? Miss a shot intentionally? Do you seriously think players should intentionally throw games?

Dude save it.. I'm a fan. I'm venting. Do you think Booker is reading this and is following my orders?

Here ya go..... I guess I needed to put that in??

 

[leclerc]

Great to see Chriss grab rebounds and block shots.

Fantastic game ending by Booker.

I think if the kids get us victories that's a good thing. Yeah the season is lost i.e. no playoffs, but growing the young core is still on. See what Chriss and Ulis have shown us the last few weeks.

 

[Chaplin]

What do you want him to do? Miss a shot intentionally? Do you seriously think players should intentionally throw games?

According to some people, yes.

 

[BillsCarnage]

is there a team that has more buzzer beaters this season?
