Admitted during post-game, the Blazers loss was embarrassing. 15 has arrived
He was on fire. Still think the suns need a real pg next to him instead of Jalen green. Had his best years with a floor general
We have one, Collin Gillespie. He needs to be in the starting lineup.
Love Collin, but if we want to take it to the next level, we gotta trade Green for a Floor General. It’s kinda hard to find one on the market though, but Book at his best was with Rubio and CP3.
Collin would be best as a Backup PG or a 6th Man.
Dejounte Murray would be perfect
Yeah, Dejounte is great defensively and can score as well to take off that defenders away from Book. Defo a trade I would’ve wanted.
I’d be fine with Collin being there if it means we get a solid PF. Right now there just isn’t any real good floor general PGs we could get. Our biggest problem right now is honestly our lack of rebounding and big men. I’d trade Green for a PF. We just gave up 19 offensive rebounds against Golden State. You can’t do anything when you’re that shit at rebounding
hes like Cavialiers Ty Jerome.
Jalen Green should probably just be Lou Williams at this point, bench mob shooter
Bro - Agreed. Gotta get rid of Jalen
He always kills us too. I swear he almost never misses when he plays us lol.
I mean Chris paul is chris paul. I’d imagine Book would look great with any other star that doesn’t overlap his role (like KD did). Like put KAT at center and we blow GS out.
Honest question… do floor generals even exist anymore?
This is always the take but I look around the league and see… Tre Young maybe? Josh Giddy?
I feel like I can count them on one hand
Haliburton is the best one
If only the Suns had had an opportunity to get Haliburton.
This just gave me PTSD
If only we also had the opportunity to get Luka too!
Fred VanVleet
Lamelo, Harden, Garland, shit even Ja has transitioned into 1 this season. Modern NBA definitely has transitioned into star wings that are tall who like to be the playmaker, though.
Cade Cunningham
The Suns can’t do anything no picks and nothing to trade. Where are they gonna get a high quality PG?
The only way is through free agency except the Suns have all that dead cap by Beal so they can’t even be competitive in paying anyone unless Ishbia uses the Ballmer method.
They do have some to trade but they’re swapped to hell
We really should’ve tried to grab Morant. His value was low, he and Dillon have familiarity and most importantly he isn’t an abusive POS.
We have been begging for this all summer and yet they ended up trading an unprotected 1st for Miles Bridges
People will disagree but swap booker with ant and the wolves would actually be a threat to win it all
Book must have seen that ‘we’ll never see 2023 Booker again’ in the suns sub lol
Niang gave the game away. Kerr gave the game away. Melton and Yaxel were cooking BOTH subbed off for 0 reason with 8 minutes left. For fucking niang. This team isn’t real.
yaxel was getting some heavy minutes, it’s not that deep. otherwise yeah agreed
Nah niang hasn’t made a 3pter in 3 games he’s 0/14 Yaxel got a steal and and assist and instantly got sat for niang and that’s when the suns went on a run. Everytime he touched the floor the suns went on a run.
He’s due
Classic Kerr.
Kerr acting like a 2K AI coach
Kerr is incredibly washed
Name a coach who would’ve gotten a better record than Kerr with the teams he’s had in the last 4 years.
Seriously, you’re talking like Kerr has led contenders to playoff bombs when he has largely overachieved with injured teams in cap hell.
Minivan is in park.
He was making everything, not much you can do when he is making middies when doubled. Proving that he is still a great scorer.
Also, a franchise record for a home season opener in points
I don’t think he attempted an uncontested shot all night. Defense was solid on him. The buckets were insane.
Damn. Are the Warriors that team to get stats on this year?
Steph shoulda left to my pistons
We would be elite af with a cade steph back court
The is zero chance Steph wants to go play in Detroit, doesn’t matter how good you think the fit would be lmao
I know that, I’m just dreaming relax
But you can’t deny how nice that fit would be
Booker gotta be one of the only players that can drop 40+ points and barely anyone cares. Lowkey absurdly disrespected nowdays
But I thought he was washed?
Everyone on that Warriors team except for 3 players were either in the G or not even in the league last year😬
No one that mattered for the warriors played in this game except their old rookie
There it is
Book would’ve fried Curry and Podz even harder
He showed up and took care of business against an anemic defense. This performance from book makes me happy of course but I’m not convinced until he can do it semi-consistently against NBA-level defenses. Time will tell.
We needed that desperately after that horror show of a first game, so glad to see the boys get a win. Hope we can carry the same energy and tighten things up a bit before the game against….oh shit. Fries.
Feels like a lot of players are gonna have really nice games against us this season.
Honestly that might be us this year too 😂 It was like that during that last season KD was in phx. Every game was like “OK whose turn is it to break a scoring record against us today?”
Jokic with the first ever 30/20/20 game against that trash ass roster 😭😭
If the warriors win zero games this season it will just begin to make up for their bandwagon fans taking over the Moda Center for years.
is he back?
Nah he just hates the warriors
That and it was against the G league version of an already garbage Warriors team 🤣
Ya I checked the game earlier and I was like who are these guys lol
I was pumped to see the real matchup and hopefully have some draymond vs booker moments
damn didn’t know steph was out too
D Book needs a floor general to allow him to play off and hit his spots
Yea he was amazing tonight
Book clinic
They needed a top 10 game of all time by Book to beat the Warriors without Steph and Podziemski by single digits?
To be fair, we didn’t field an NBA squad tonight.
I mean great performance, but he was playing against the summer league Warriors.
r/nba give Book any credit challenge.
I mean if I am wrong I am wrong. But the Warriors were led in min. by a rookie and their top 7 players didnt play. This isn’t about credit, its about facts.
He put belt to ass on that 24 year old rookie
