I'm sorry. He's historically a healthy player and he's been good when healthy all 5 or so games. Not trolling. Just a realist as it relates to him. A stupid and ill advised trade. Where the hell was the need for Beal?Wally_West wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 10:34 pmHow can you say Beal is bust when we aren’t even in January yet? This just feels like a troll at this point.

As far as my memory takes me, he's only had 1; against the Clippers?
That's something that's always pissed me off about him; he's capable of a 3D every game

I was referring to 7 3s. He had 5 halfway through the 3rd.

Gotcha.
He'll never take enough volume to make more, unless he has an incredibly efficient shooting night.
He varies his attack with the best in the league
He's no Klay Thompson, lmao

Re: Game Day: Hornets (7-22) @ Suns (15-15), Fri 12/29/23
I bet he has 28 in one of the next 5 games
Re: Game Day: Hornets (7-22) @ Suns (15-15), Fri 12/29/23
Also, what if he has 27/12/12 on like 10/13 shooting? Won’t count as a good game?
If he then sprains a pinky finger and sits out 1 game…does AIG win?

Re: Game Day: Hornets (7-22) @ Suns (15-15), Fri 12/29/23
You should go by game score…not perfect, but it encapsulates all parts of the box score…you could say he needs to have a game score higher than the median Booker game so far this year which is about 22-23
The two games in that range for Booker were the game against the Knicks when he hit the game winner…28/11 on 10/25 shooting and the Minny game…31/4/5 on 12-22 shooting. Or you could just drop it to an even 20. Beal’s best game by game score this year is 16 vs the Lakers when he had 24/4/2 on 9/17 shooting.

Re: Game Day: Hornets (7-22) @ Suns (15-15), Fri 12/29/23
For reference there have been 7 games where a non-Booker/KD suns player had a game score of 20 or above:
2 from Gordon(though I could see tonight’s game being a third).
2 from Allen
2 from Nurkic
1 from Metu
All 7 were between 20 and 23. KD and Book have the top 22 individual game scores on the season.

Just tonight, De’Aaron Fox, who couldn’t shoot 2 years ago had 8, and Scottie Barnes, who couldn’t shoot as recently as last season had 7.
In his 9th year in the league, it is INSANE that Booker has never had more than 6 3s in a game with how good of a shooter as he’s always been.
Re: Game Day: Hornets (7-22) @ Suns (15-15), Fri 12/29/23
Alec freaking Peters had 8!
Aaron Baynes had 9!
It’s nuts. Sorry.

I’m fine with what we agreed on. 28 or more before he sits out with a new injury.
