I don't care about his personal life. He must deliver and in a big way. Or he is gonna be our personal Wall we have to live with many years. Deserve the money Book. Earn our respect cause its fading little by little as it is seen here.

Yeah, it didn't seem like Booker really wanted to be there last night. I would love to see more from him and it seemed that he acted more mature in previous seasons. It's been tough this year with him missing time with injuries. I don't think that this season has been anything like he was expecting and the only thing he can do is be professional about the rest of the season and bring it every night, as they are vying for relevance and consistency.
Could it be that off-court activities are affecting his game?

Maybe it's time somebody in the organization told Booker to stop being a douchebag.
Thank you.
+1

It was endearing when he was a rookie or when he was the only bright spot on a 20-something win team.

Now he's a max player and he needs to cut that s*** out when the team isn't anywhere near a playoff spot.
Agree. Really acting like a primadonna.

He’s been awful on defense, not just man but even worse when he has the Steve Nash syndrome of sagging too much off his man and then leaving him open for a 3 or a back cut.

He’s yelling at his teammates, occasionally not getting back on D, forcing shots.

It’s just really ugly.
Can we add "injury prone" to the list? He's starting to get that reputation.

That is the basis on which any man should ultimately be judged.

I really hope we don't end up regretting that contract with Booker.

Winning cures all. If we get a decent PG and start winning some games, nobody is going to care how many women Booker sleeps with.

Two different women pregnant at same time and still has time for a third girl? Didn’t his dad have the talk with him? All I can think of is the song Billy Jean.

It’s just a sign of low IQ. Moron can’t even sleep around without taking an L. Wrap it before you tap it.

Especially when you're a pro athlete and millions are at stake.

This had looked like it would be a very promising season for Booker. Tremendous play at the Team USA camp, only to have a season of injury, abhorrent defense, terrible 3-point shooting, and a massive amount of turnovers. And poor choices off the court.

Thanks Book.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
