Reading that reminded me that he did a lot of this against Caruso. Caruso is the nba player that my opinion of their defense is most different from the general consensus. For whatever reason, he can’t guard Booker and that’s about the only time I watch him. He’s not like MPJ trying to defend, but he really does nothing to slow Booker at all. Feels like how I’d expect Landry Shamet to defend Booker. Solid, but ultimately too small and not quick enough. Yet apparently Caruso is an elite defender against other players. I’ve just never seen it.

Booker really only has trouble with long, strong defenders like Herb Jones, Paul George, Jrue Holiday, etc.
Even then, no one that can really lock him up anymore, and he's either only struggling due to a good team scheme or just having an off night.

So, for the stats geeks...for every game where Deandre Ayton had 5 or more free throws, and Booker has played say at least 30 minutes in the game, what is his scoring average vs. his overall average? Or...something like that...it would be an interesting stat to know...

Jrue has defended him better than anyone I’ve seen. I’d add Matisse Thybulle, but I think Book kinda got him last time and he doesn’t get enough minutes to matter enough. Beverley was a pretty tough matchup for him in that clippers series, but haven’t felt like he’s done much since then.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 6:34 pmBooker really only has trouble with long, strong defenders like Herb Jones, Paul George, Jrue Holiday, etc.

Chris Paul is kind of blowing up on Twitter now because Kanye said he caught CP with Kim. Putting a spoiler on it for those that don't care. Nothing explicit or NSFW, just gossip. Hopefully another thing that the team moves past and isn't a distraction.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. The problem for Kanye is that no one believes a literal crazy person except for other crazy people.

That's not going to happen since his mouth has cost him business deals, so now he has to ride the grift train to pay the bills.

Anyone starting to think the CP situation (the heel discomfort not the other one) is getting kind of weird? Day to day for weeks with no real update is kind of unsettling. Like, we're winning but getting really thin and minutes are piling up for the healthy guys. being down CP, CamJ, Crowder, Payne for a few, Landry for a bit, now Craig. Ayton has thankfully stepped up to should some of the scoring from Booker but man, I am just hoping they all make it to the Dec 15th or whatever date and Jones pulls the trigger on something to get some pieces. There's no reason for Crowder to take up a spot until the trade deadline. I would also expect Dario to move sooner than later since Monty has no intention of using him.

I think our fallback option if we can’t find something else is to move Crowder/Saric/1st for Bojan

It's probably plantar fasciitis, and as someone who's had it, it can linger for quite some time.
But since the Suns are so tight-lipped about injuries we just don't know what it is.

James Jones interview with Gambo made it seem like CP should be back in the next couple weeks.

They also made it sound like he might not miss time at all when he first got injured

Duncan played through plantar fasciitis for over a year but he was younger.
