Kyle Kuzma, before the last Olympics, was saying USA Basketball needed players who wanted to play defense and sacrifice (something Kuzma himself sucks at). Booker quote-tweeted him to say “I’ll do it”, then did.

Idk why everyone is so definitive. He’s right on the cusp now but will probably make it in the end.

He’s a 5x All Star, 2x All NBA, All Rookie Team, some SEC accomplishments, but also a McDonalds All American and Gold Medal winner TWICE.

I think if he retires rn he might not get in, but if he keeps all this up for another 5 years he’s a pretty solid lock. He’s only 29 years old with 18k points.

He has made more free throws (52), then shots (47) in his last 2 playoffs series, so I’m sure it’s the refs fault, maybe they should allow him to use the off arm pushoff even more since that’s his only way of creating separation nowadays

2023 playoffs the Suns won 6 games and Booker averaged 34ppg, they lost in the second round to a championship Nuggets team in part because CP3 got injured

2024 Booker averaged 28ppg but the Suns got swept because they roster construction was terrible after the Beal trade

This year the Suns are likely gonna get swept because the Thunder are a million times better. The Suns were a projected lottery team.

2024 is really the only disappointment.

It’s really not that rare if you would say “losing playoff games OR not getting into playoffs at all” instead of “losing playoff games”, which is kinda pointless in terms of defining lack of results lol. Why would getting to playoffs and losing be somehow worse than not qualifying at all? And if you do, it’s completely not rare lol.

Out of the NBA’s EIGHT top earners, only Jokic and Tatum won a playoff game this year. Only Curry and Butler at least won a playoff game last year (sorry, Giannis also won 1 playoff game last year). Some go further back, for example Kevin Durant last won a playoff game in 2023 etc. Many of the wider group of the top earners in the NBA maybe won a game or two, but won very few playoff series in the last many years. Generally not uncommon.

And the guys who won the most playoff games in recent years? Completely not the ones you want - all the Boston guys, Jrue Holiday, Denver guys, Max Strus, PJ Tucker, Obi Toppin, Cameron Payne somehow… You’re not gonna get the story you want if you actually ask about which players are winning playoff games.

There have been plenty of bad calls both ways and there have been plenty of missed calls from both sides.

But this is especially rich coming from the fans of a team that have lead the league in free throw disparity for two plus seasons.

Agile-Transition4668 | Lakers

I’d like to also point out the fact that Dort can literally be on top of the people he’s defending and never gets anything called on him, while anyone guarding Shai will get fouls called on them when they get within 4 feet of him. If you haven’t seen it it’s because you’re too biased to.

It’s not how many free throws yall shoot, it’s the bull shit calls. If you get fouled, by all means, call the foul. But the amount of bs that gets called on the teams playing the Thunder is ridiculous. And don’t even get me started on sga, everyone loves to pretend that he’s good, meanwhile, you cant actually even play defense against him without getting fouls called when you don’t even touch him.

Chickachic-aaaaahhh | Thunder

Because we take advantage of your mistakes and force you to make those mistakes by playing some incredible defense. Those fouls come from players not realizing okc practice those small movements and moments to get the offense in a trap. Literally ike taking a charge. Happened like 3-4 times yesterday. How many times do teams that face us turnover the ball? I can tell you right now. Its alot.
