Shut the fuck up
Already gave on the team before all star break. Looks like my hunch was right. This team sucks and I’m totally out on Booker which is a sad day.
Again, he lost me in that embarrassing loss to the Clippers where he said the mood in the locker room is "chillin."

My Booker fandom ended because he lost his care for the game and is more into the fame now. And he's the only player I have a jersey of from the last 10 years.

So this is a funny / cringey pair of videos of Eubanks botching post moves. But I do think the tweet misses the point. You don't sign a minimum salary backup center and then expect him to carry your offense with his crazy post moves. That isn't what Eubanks is good at. He's quite good at setting screens and rolling to the basket and finishing with a dunk; he did this 2-3 times tonight, often with KD. He isn't a man blessed with a wide array of graceful post moves, but we're paying him like $20 a game and he's our backup center. If he had great post moves, he wouldn't have been available for a minimum deal this offseason.

The bigger point is, your team's offense shouldn't be so shitty that you end up desperately throwing it into the post to Drew freaking Eubanks with a few seconds left on the shot clock, hoping for him to bail you out with a post move. That's on the rest of the team to run a good offense and get a better shot than that.

36 Unbothered was the beginning of his end.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

He lost the killer in him. He’s no Kobe. Booker has become too passive like his boy we decided to trade for last year. We can’t get rid of Durant soon enough. He brought the pussy attitude to this locker room.

At least they can be best friends while they passively lose together.

I said 2 years ago he never had a killer instinct and everybody thought I was crazy. If you’re the alpha dog you don’t complain when you get double teamed in a pick-up game. You try to torch them. Kobe would have asked for a triple team.

Now he won't even be in a pickup game. He'll be on a boat at a celebrity party, so don't worry no complaining

If I'm the Suns my first call when the season ends is to New Orleans, and I'm offering KD for Zion.

Booker cricked his neck, flexed and posed with Crowder- tough guy phase

Booker drank wine and was sicko studying the game with CP3 phase

Booker smoked weed and cared less with KD

Next is his fat phase with Zion

So who should the next coach be after Vogel bites it?

Do we keep any of this crew or do we blow it sky high?

I don’t know. Last year’s playoff Book looked like the damn top 5 player. I don’t understand how he looks so terrible all of sudden. I hate to keep beating this drum but it’s hard for me to not look at coaching. When you hear Frank talking about this team he sounds completely clueless, like he has no pulse on the team. For me, right now, he is the big stinky elephant shit in the room.
