Book may have just saved the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

A huge three by Booker.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Suns needed that 3 from Book after blowing the lead to only 3 points

 

[BirdGangThing]

why can't we have one freakin night where we close it out

 

[Yuma]

Still 45 seconds is a long time in the NBA.

dunn goes to starting line up and our bench defense goes to ish-bia

 

[BirdGangThing]

good to see book booking again

Transition defense is still atrocious. Monte was the worst in this game, and as the PG he wasn't effective. Book was responsible for consecutive TOs at the end before he nailed the huge 3pt. George was their hot hand with 5 fouls for long time, yet we never thought to get him the 6th foul by switching Book or KD attacking him 1-on-1.
Good thing is Allen's shooting touch is back.

 

[Hoop Head]

I wish the wins against bottom feeders weren't so ugly.

 

[Cheesebeef]

The fact that the Suns needed a big time 3 by Booker, at ANY time in this game says everything about this team.

They suck. And if they throw any more resources/picks/players trying to improve it, they’re beyond stupid.

 

[Chaplin]

The collective outrage on this thread and board is comical. Sure they got it to 3 but there was no time in this game where Washington was a threat. None.

The wizards were within a single score and they weren’t a threat? Cmon chap.

Nope, and that's the last I'll say on it.

I'll leave you all to your forum. I'm out.

Why is Booker, who shot 41% tonight, getting a whole lot of praise on here, when the team shot over 51%?
This 41%from him is one of his better shooting games the last week or so. I saw a couple of games he was 3 for 16.

Because he had a good game. Comparing someone's shooting percentage to the teams doesn't tell the whole story. That's why Plumlee isn't praised when he goes 2-2 and shoots 100%. When you're the primary scorer you need to put points on the board and Book did that while also having a good defensive game.

Did you watch the game?
