Chandler has played well, but why is he playing 40 minutes?

Booker was unconscious. 38 tonight.
Go Suns!

Would have been nice to see him get 40! 29 in the 4th quarter! Holy crap! Didn't realize he scored that much.

Devin Booker with 29 of our 32 4th quarter points? As the kids these days would say, Devin Booker is wet.

Turnovers killed the Suns tonight (19 vs. 9 for Dallas)
Another night with more turnovers than assists.

7 turnovers for Booker.
Re: Game Day: Mavericks (11-27) @ Suns (12-26), Thurs 1/12/17 *Mexico City*
I wonder how Booker's first half and second half stats compare.
Maybe I'm wrong but just feels like Booker's played at an elite level in the second half of many games this year while playing rather mediocre in the first half.
He's finding his shot again though which I'm excited about.

People have trashed Booker around here and other parts this season. Rightfully so at times, though I think the toe injury was legitimately to blame. He's the only reason I watch this team right now. The kid has incredible talent.

He was forcing passes early in the game. Once he decided to just shoot, he stopped turning it over.INFORMER wrote:7 turnovers for Booker.

He can be streaky, which is common for young players. Will be interesting to see what kind of numbers he puts up when he stays hot for a whole game.

Honest question. Do you think a 60 point effort is realistic?Split T wrote:UglyTruth wrote:I wonder how Booker's first half and second half stats compare.

Re: Game Day: Mavericks (11-27) @ Suns (12-26), Thurs 1/12/17 *Mexico City*
Possible, but probably not realistic. There have been 66 instances of someone scoring at least 60 points in a game. 32 by Wilt, so take him out and we've only got 34 times in NBA history. Booker would probably have to get crazy hot from 3 in order to do it. Klay's 60 point game might be the blueprint for him.AmareIsGod wrote:Honest question.

Damn, our longest winning streak of the year is broken.
Was that Watson's longest winning streak of his career?
Why does a team, with a coach that was a point guard, not know how to pass the ball and his team turns it over so much?

What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Yep. Len coming in later in the 1st/3rd and leaving earlier in the 2nd/4th lately.Split T wrote:Chandler has played well, but why is he playing 40 minutes?

Nope. Pretty sad. They couldn't get a stop to save their life. The only thing that made the game tolerable at all was Booker going absolutely unconscious.Danimal wrote:Really hope of that Cavs game team work carries over.

I am absolutely done with him. He hogs the ball the entire possession and doesn't pass to wide open teammates.carey wrote:Knight is just ugh sometimes. Gets his shot blocked at the rim when he had Bender wide open under the basket when Bender's man came to help. Just... idk man. I'm not sure if he doesn't trust his teammates or he has tunnel vision or just isn't interesting in passing.

He absolutely kills us out there. Good for the ping pong balls I guess. Makes it tough to watch though.carey wrote:Knight 1-6 for 2 points right now including getting blocked by Powell.
