Booker tonight 47/9/3 on 20-25 shooting, most points through 8 playoff games since MJ

[tontoz]

umm yeah they did. relatively speaking that is. 22pts from the bench last night...compared to 4 points in game 2. no, that is not a typo. difference is the dumbass suns coach finally reached deep into his bench to play them. his dumbass stays playing landry shamet that is turnover prone, can't hit shots and is playing horrible basketball overall.

and people think this isn't sustainable...durant shooting 30% fg and 20%from 3pt isn't typical. if durant hit his usual numbers, it would have been a blowout. now that they got the bench involved and they figured out that pushing the pace is the achilles heel for the nuggets, they have a chance. won't be pretty, won't be easy...but it's a dogfight and we have maverick (devin booker).

Pushing the pace isn't a good idea when Durant/Booker are playing over 40 minutes per game.

They can do that when they have 3 days rest before the game. With only 1 day of rest, different story.

hence the reference. in the movie, they are using an f-14 against a 5th gen fighter. odds are stacked against the suns still...but they have found a weakness to attack.

And plays zero defense……

[highwhey]

imagine being jelous that a 26 year old is already better than any version of kobe. his defense is good, but i guess coping mechanisms.

How are you down 1 - 2 with a player better than peak Kobe, with KD on his squad? lol

[SaltyMeatballs]

Playoff Booker is most definitely a thing

[ImKobe]

Im the only one who dared to say hes as good as Kobe.


I own all you retards.

He's not. KB is a taller version who plays better D and has even a deeper bag. Don't let the numbers fool you vs. these weak ass defenses (Clips no PG & Kawhi, Nuggets bottom 10 defense) in an era that's breaking all-time scoring/ORTG records every year.

He's a guy who's clearly watched Kobe tape and some of his motions are reminiscent of Kobe. It doesn't mean his game is like Kobe or he's the next Kobe. And no he's not as good as Kobe. Prime Kobe would be the best player in the league in 2023.

Kobe is absolutely not better than Steph Curry who is still in his prime.

You can’t even argue it like you usually do just had to resort to gifs. Sad.

wow, you are very concise with your ignorance. in one sentence you managed to pack in so many false narratives.

book is the same height as kb, and very strong. he has a nice post up game. speaking about his bag, he has EVERYTHING. i know you're probably too busy watching the kardashians or whatever BS reality show you mouthbreathers in LA watch, but if you watch even a game, you'd realize Book is one of the most prolific scorers in the league. friday night he scored from everywhere and in every way possible.

same way kobe ain't win a title his first year with shaq. OUCH.


imagine expecting booker to win a title with a depleted bench and KD after only playing 14 games together

i'm sure he would, with his 32% 3pt shooting and 44% FG shooting while averaging 5 turnovers a game and 4 assists a game

KB was clearly a taller guy and he also had about 3 extra inches in wingspan.

Booker is a talented dude and benefits from the the lack of defense in today's league which has him putting up ridiculous numbers. I love his game but you don't have to disrespect one of the GOATs to give Booker props for his play in these POs.
