Ross has got to be a better defender than Lee/Shammet just on size aloneFor his (Ross) career he has a pretty good PPG that beats our dudes I think, in D. Lee, Shamet, Okogie. Besides, you can never have enough shooters. We saw that in this game.

He's not better than Shamet. Shamet is actually a pretty good defender. Ross and Lee are both pretty bad defensivelyRoss has got to be a better defender than Lee/Shammet just on size alone
Big boned.... spoken like a fat person. There were articles in the offseason on how Luca was taking his physical shape seriously.... it dont look like it. He is still out of shape for NBA standards. The refs bail him out way to much, he has taken the euroflop to the offensive side of the floor
Are you seriously calling @lorenzotexan a fat person? I mean we all have some weight to lose, but wow, that's a whole new level of insult for this forum.
Shamet is the Rodney Dangerfield of this team.He's not better than Shamet. Shamet is actually a pretty good defender. Ross and Lee are both pretty bad defensively
I don’t understand this. Luka can score in many different ways as we all have seen especially from the outside. the suns like most other teams try to get physical and shadow luka up and down the court when he has the ball. They take his space away to prevent him from passing and shooting. He should be physical and bully defenders especially with how big boned he is. That is him evolving his game in my opinion.
Not only that but the blatant push offs. Some of those were not even subtle. I swear it seems like the more Luka cries the more the refs don't want to hear it and just gives him every call imaginable while Booker ends up on his back and nothing.I think it's when Luka lowers his shoulder to gain an advantage is what upsets Suns fans. The referees seem to give an advantage to Dallas in this regard. Suns fans only want the same rules applied evenly.
Christian Wood did the same thing and got away with it yet Ayton gets called for touch fouls.

This implies Shamet deserves sone kind of respect he’s not getting. Dude isn’t good at his job, can’t stay healthy and got a far contract for very little production on the court.Shamet is the Rodney Dangerfield of this team.
I think Shamet is a decent player. I agree with you about staying healthy though.This implies Shamet deserves sone kind of respect he’s not getting. Dude isn’t good at his job, can’t stay healthy and got a far contract for very little production on the court.
Rodney Dangerfield was actually good at his job and deserved respect, which is the point of the joke. Shamet hasn’t been and doesn’t.
They were both laughing as they chirped. I am sure Book was saying something like "my new toy is better than yours."This national narrative about Booker talking trash (1) because his "big brother, KD" is there and (2) only after the game is in hand is ridiculous on so many levels. Not even mentioning the fact that he wasn't talking to Luka in this instance, Booker has always talked a ton of trash. I can't stand listening to these guys.

I think the narrative is there because Book talked so much trash during the playoffs, then looked like a total fool after we got humiliated. And as of late, the Mavs have played us very tough, where Book hasn't said much of a word and now he's jawing after a regular season game, which means nothing in the long run. Simple as that.This national narrative about Booker talking trash (1) because his "big brother, KD" is there and (2) only after the game is in hand is ridiculous on so many levels.

me agreeing with skip is quite the rarity but here we areI usually am not into what these guys are saying, but this might have been the best take on a game I have ever heard from them--including the part about Luka complaining.

I still don't get it. Are you supposed to talk trash when you're losing? No. When you're winning? Apparently not. I guess the only time you can talk trash is when the game is tied.I think the narrative is there because Book talked so much trash during the playoffs, then looked like a total fool after we got humiliated.

And I don't begrudge that opinion. Talk is cheap, especially in the regular season.
I agree that it is good for the league. I don’t want to see guys fist fighting and getting suspended for dirty fouls (like Robert horry trying to hurt Steve nash and then gets rewarded with another championship) but short of that what we see with Luka and Booker is just trash talk. There is nothing wrong with that. It makes us all care more. Today mavs fans dislike Booker a little more and suns fans dislike Luka a little more.one thing's crystal clear here... these two teams do NOT like each other. That's good for the league.
Haha. For the record no I am not fat, not that it would matter either way if I was. But my comment was more of an attempt at a cheeky remark about Luka’s weight, given all of the talk about it. For a guy his size he is very good in open space. so most of the league try to shadow him up and down the court which makes him work harder and also makes for a lot of contact by both the offensive and defensive players.Are you seriously calling @lorenzotexan a fat person?

I missed a lot of the game, but at the end I did hear H. Brown talking about the refs so I do believe that there were offensive fouls not given. I did see the play at the end where Luka missed the floater. I thought the defender was trying to draw a foul, but it could have been called an offensive foul. It would have been harsh in my opinion. And I think that was one of those situations where Booker was citing instant justice and luka got butt hurt.I think it's when Luka lowers his shoulder to gain an advantage is what upsets Suns fans.
