Perhaps it just took 40 games to get our big 3 healthy? Booker was playing very well as PG during that stretch.

Dunno why this keeps getting brought up. It took 30 games for Beal to get healthy enough to play point. Point Book was out of necessity as was Point KD earlier int he season


It took 3 1/2 years for me to forgive Allen for his dirty antics and now I might buy his jersey. :o

I keep hearing about getting rid of Little and all that, but I don't think that's the smart play as we can use his youth and athleticism. Getting rid of Okogie, KBD, and Watanabe makes more sense to me, but what do I know? LOL

Book got 46 in 35min. Luka got his in 43. I think it's safe to say he could've gotten that fiddy

Read on Twitter

Can you imagine if Book did this in a blowout loss? It would be brought up years later and he’d never hear the end of it.

He's never really gotten a chance to be the 5th guy playing with the big 3. Hes got the potential to be what we need in that role

He better be in the 3pt competition and not rob him of a spot like they did D.Lee awhile back

This was a solid win. A bit of redemption for Christmas. He should have returned the 50 piece favor to Luka tonight, but Vogel apparently thought better of it. Too bad.

He won’t be an analyst for long, he’s gonna replace James Jones in the offseason.

The haters still haven't let go for Book's "no doubling in the gym" or the mascot moment.

Was checking out the Mavs board to see how they responded to this kind of effort, since we've been dealing with it all season, seems like.

They're actually really upset with Luka. It's interesting. I'm not a Luka fan at all and I feel like I should defend him over there. :roll:

The hell are you even talking about. I think you've watched all of 2 possessions of them running that because when they ACTUALLY run it it's efficient as hell.

Every post of yours is like a begrudging compliment or slight of this team.

It’s amazing how much Luka fcking hates the Suns man. Mfer was 2-8 from 3 in the last game against Boston and of course tonight he’s 4-5.

I don’t care about the “competitors” bullsht, Booker needs to apologize to him for the “Luka special” and all the other nonsense and get on good terms with him. This sht cannot go on forever, he’s gonna continue to own this franchise forever.

It’s not even just a meme anymore, it’s reality.

Booker said efffff that apology son! LFG

He could be if given an opportunity. He's been better than Okogie for pretty much the whole season. I guess we'll either wait and see what we've got with him or we won't and he'll be somewhere else soon enough.
