How can you say Beal is bust when we aren’t even in January yet? This just feels like a troll at this point.
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?

Thank God everyone else played well. Beal was hot garbage.
Dude. Give him a little time to knock the rust off.
He hasn't had a single game where he's looked even viable off the bench for most teams. I'll keep waiting. I'd bet he gets hurt again before he has a great game. Any takers?
Yeah, I’ll take that.
Beers and a meal while we watch a Suns game somewhere when you move back. Loser picks up the tab.
We’re on. Now we have to agree on what constitutes a great game. 24 points or more?

30 on 50% from the field.

Define “great game” and maybe I’ll take you up on it.
30 points on 50%+ from the field.
OK, how about 27 or more with no FGP restrictions?

This probably won’t happen, but can he do the other thing he’s never done in the regular season?
He could not.


Book will rarely have trip-dubs; he just doesn't rebound enough
He’s never done it..in the regular season
I was referring to 7 3s. He had 5 halfway through the 3rd.
Ya I got that, just responding to Bucktastic

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Our Big three just for the third time tonight...I have good vibes for this game, lets see how it unfolds. My prediction is triple double for Book.

He could not.

Wow I didn't know that. But nevertheless I am expecting one or two games where he has a TD while playing point guard

Yeah, no. 28 points or better. This is a bit much.
