I’m not really trying to take a shot at Booker. His passion, skill and drive are not in question. He has performed poorly in some huge games, but that can change in an instant.Yeah, I don't know any way to take that comment other than as a shot at Booker. Different coach, completely different roster, Booker is the only real constant. I don't consider him a "quitter" but we've had some embarrassing collapses during his time here.
This. He’s a circle peg in an oval hole at pg. looks like he fits. You can force it. But it’s awkward and not seemless.I think right now Book is trying to be too cerebral instead of letting the game come to him. Right now he's forcing things on all accounts.
I think this point Book is taking a toll on him mentally, especially coming off cp3 and trying to be your own pg. He's on the fly learning(forcing) guys to get their shots, while at the same time figuring out when to get his.
Which is what makes seeing what we have with him and Beal together interesting. They will each take on some responsibilities of a PG, but neither will need to do it all.This. He’s a circle peg in an oval hole at pg. looks like he fits. You can force it. But it’s awkward and not seemless.
Not necessarily something I want to be hearing about a veteran team. We should be mentally locked in every night and the nights where we aren't should be the outlier..xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

We came out like that against the Blazers. Our problem is that we cannot sustain any kind of momentum for more than a few minutes. That’s bad in game adjusting IMO.Not necessarily something I want to be hearing about a veteran team.

I think you missed my point. My issue isn't that he's admitting it, but that it's a problem to begin with. It's concerning that a team with this amount of talent and experience is struggling to stay motivated and focused..Well it's obviously a problem, so would you rather have them deny it than acknowledge it?
Right, but we know it's an issue regardless of whether Metu articulates it. Anyway, we're basically in agreement.I think you missed my point.

Yeah, and I kinda like the players saying they see the same things we do. At least we know they KNOW it's a problem.Right, but we know it's an issue regardless of whether Metu articulates it. Anyway, we're basically in agreement.
Yeah there's no one else to blame it on, I'm just not convinced it's because he's a "quitter".
Idk if he’s a “quitter” but it’s pretty clear to me now he’s not HIM.
what’s this his 8th/9th year?
His numbers in elimination games are pathetic. That’s not what number 1 options do. It’s just not.
Kobe Bryant quit in elimination games several times, literally quit, in the very sense of the word. His numbers overall in elimination games were really bad. I think a lot of this stuff is deceiving.
I think Booker's problem is that he starts to depart the "system" when things get bad and force things, and things get even uglier. I've certainly never doubted his effort when watching him in the playoffs.
