Maybe this is the start of a string of wins... we'll be the 8 seed by the all-star break. Book it.

Best thing I have read all morning. Hoping for the team to rally around Booker and start showing a little consistency.

What do you think, 50 out of Booker tonight?

If the All-Star snub lights a fire under Booker and the team, I guess in a shitty backward way it could end up being a good thing. It is still total BS, though.

If we want to have the slightest hope of a playoff spot this year, this is the kind of game we need to go out and win.

It will be very hard to keep him interested in being in Phoenix if he knows he will get zero personal accolades AND miss the playoffs.

Haven’t started watching yet because I took all my money in my Sportsbook account and placed on the over for Devin Booker scoring 29.5. I then took myself out for a nice dinner because I’m going to pay with the free money Devin is going for win me tonight from absolutely drowning the Thunder in points. Boomshakalaka

Booing Chris Paul is kinda silly. He didn't select himself for the game.

This is why we need another rebounder like Kevin Love or somebody, because whenever Ayton is out defending shots the Suns can't come up with the rebound.

Dario out for the game after spraining his ankle. We got two healthy bigs now.

Suns should be winning this game fairly comfortably if they could get any 50/50 balls. It seems like every time OKC gets to the long rebounds or has a guy on the floor when it's needed.

I’ve been out and haven’t watched the game at all so I have to wonder: How the hell does our 7 foot center have only 6 points and ZERO rebounds??

That's been a real trend in the first half. Suns need to lift their intensity with that and turn it around in the second half.

Yep, not a great look (also completely pointless as it's not going to distract him and obviously won't change the votes)

They just showed Booker crying (on Sunday) at the Lakers game tribute to Kobe (in arena), aired on ESPN.

Good on Booker for having a strong game so far and showing people he should be an All-Star. 19 points so far early in the 3rd.

I'm watching the Lakers pregame. Also keeping track of the Suns game by listening to Al McCoy, now in his 6th different decade of calling Suns games.
