So do you still Booker has regressed this year?

Overall, yes. He is on an incredible scoring run right now, but he has pretty much abandoned the concept of team basketball, and his defense has become worse.

Jabari Parker looks good with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Booker is on fire shooting the ball, but the team has 7 assists to 9 turnovers. Disorganized playground ball at its finest.

Igor Kokoskov, Earl Watson and Lindsey Hunter are basically the same coach.

I forgot Washington acquired him. He's not doing any better statistically there than he was in Chicago. I was surprised Milwaukee let him walk in the last offseason. He could be a nice player if he stayed healthy and didn't demand to be paid like a star. He's making $20 million this year and next. He's averaging 14.7 & 7.2 rebounds with the Wizards off the bench, which is quite good but he's playing 27 minutes a game for that, which is the same he averaged in Chicago for the same ppg and 1 less board. He was starting more there but with his injury history I don't know if he can play more than 30 minutes a night, at least not be depended on for that much time.

He is too expensive for my taste especially with the injuries.

I'm thinking he must be getting tired with 37 points already. :wink2:

Booker's high scoring is fun but I hope he doesn't incorporate this as a style of play.

If we're leading then I'm fine with it. Someone needs to score and Booker is more than capable. No one else is picking up the slack so let Booker go for 60.

Melton motioned for Bender to go inside as he was bringing the ball up after that steal and Bender backed up into the corner. I can't wait until he's gone. Spalding should be getting his minutes now.
