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.
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.

Moreso an audience enjoying the show without any attachments, I would bet the same fans were screaming with a Mavs' block, and then a Bledsoe's dunk, if both plays were spectacular enough.

What about half the fans whistling during our free throws and then half cheering when they went in?

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?
Because Bledsoe and Knight are big time ball hogs.
Only our 3rd stringer Tyler Ulis knows how to pass the damn ball.
I've actually found Ulis to be looking for his shot a little too aggressively in his last few appearances. Maybe his colleagues are rubbing off on him.

Opponents seem to be playing off him a bit too. He needs to be able to hit that 18 foot jumpshot with consistency so they can't just play him for the pass.
The Suns were within 8 or 10 the entire 4th quarter but could just not get a stop of put a run together to make a game out of it. Booker's explosion was the only thing that saved the viewing experience.

Is there anyone around here that would still defend that Knight trade as a good one? Or even one that wasn't completely awful?
Do you mean like when Bledsoe has the ball? Or Knight? If you want to make him the point guard, then he can control things. I do agree that he needs to shoot much better, and he needs to stop putting up shots just to put them up.
