He's literally me when I play.

I've played pick-up/ymca ball since I was 20, but I'm 48 now.
I'm quiet as a mouse, UNTIL I play ball.


Being white and fat i was always the last pick; that's why I LOVED showing them all up, and talking shit while I did it!

That's what I was thinking watching this. Fat Jokic. Or maybe Luka in a few years if he had remained in Dallas. ;)

It's not complicated. I don't know how many of you have played, but basketball isn't THAT hard.

You haven't played me. I'll show you what hard is! (I don't want to hear from the peanut gallery, Wally.)

Interesting data on who gets doubled and what they do when doubled. Book passes out most of the time.

Yeah, that's such an odd player to draw so many doubles.

You can't stop a Jerami Grant. You can only hope to contain him. First ballot hall of famer.

It might say more about the talent of the other Blazers players. Or about how Jerami Grant responds when doubled.

That passes the eye test.

Book immediately freaks out and tries to pass, has a high turnover rate out of doubles, and the least number of points scored by the team coming out of that double team.

The double teams have broken him for 2 seasons now. The secret is out how to throw him off his game.

I don't think he passes it quick enough. And it's definitely not good when he tries to handle the ball and split the double team.

Booker is not a good enough ballhandler to split a double team and score. And he isn't a good enough passer to consistently find the open man without risk of getting it picked off.

In other words, he is not a point guard and should not be running an offense.
