Booker with 48. 2 more measly points and he would have had a 3rd straight 50-point game.
And he had 42 going into the 4th.

Good thing we signed Jimmer instead of a competent big man.

48 points on 29 shots add in 11 assists. Booker has been unreal this week. Can you go winless in a week and win player of the week?

Booker is up to 26.9 ppg...the way things are going, it looks like he’ll almost definitely set the suns single season record for ppg.

Book has been special last few. Really turned it up. To hell with people calling it stat chasing, I’m not seeing it. Nonsense.

Yeah I really don't get the stat chasing thing, was the Utah thing a little silly? Sure, but it's not like Booker is just throwing up terrible shots, he's shooting like 56% from the field, down right nutty.

The Utah game was the most efficient 59 point game ever!

And Valunciunas still manhandled Bender for offensive rebounds/buckets in the 4th. Ultimately the result may have been the same, but Ayton wouldn’t have been pushed around like Bender was.

Ayton was starting to figure out JV. It would have made a big difference, imo.

I'm not saying either of you are wrong; just point pointing out Valanciunas made 6/8 against Ayton. On the season, generally every starting center in the league has gotten whatever they wanted against Ayton.

That’s true. Ayton has improved defensively, but he’s not physical enough. He does ok keeping people off the glass and he moves his feet well. But he lets people get too good of post position. Doesn’t make them uncomfortable in the post. He avoids fouls, probably to a fault. He needs to be more aggressive in the post...offensively and defensively.
