OT Suns guard Devin Booker goes ham, scores 70 points in loss to Celtics

[Mediocre Man]

CJ for Booker this summer?

Serious question. Would Phoenix do that?

 

[PDXFonz]

That's crazy.

Thomas was being a little bitch after the game. He's so overrated. If you switch Thomas, and dame, Boston would be way better, and Portland would be way worse.

Okay there lavar slow your roll

 

[Blazers Roy]

Serious question. Would Phoenix do that?

Of course not.

 

[Nate]

Okay there lavar slow your roll

You think Thomas is better than dame?

 

[Dougnsalem]

Dude also hates green eggs. But I bet he's never even tried it.

Has anyone else ever cracked a green egg in a hot frying pan? I've seen some really gross stuff in my life, and that one ranks pretty high on my list....

 

[PDXFonz]

You think Thomas is better than dame?

Not necessarily, I just realized what you said was very similar to what Lavar Ball said.

Dame and Thomas play exactly alike. Both shoot first scoring PGs and both terrible defenders.

Scoring 50 in the 90's was way harder than scoring 70 in today's NBA imo.

I agree and not to take anything away from his performance. In today's NBA a player like LeBron James could beak Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point mark on a good day if they really wanted to.

You think Thomas is better than dame?

It's not that Thomas is better than Dame but their extremely similar players. If anything Thomas being only 5'9'' makes what he does very impressive

 

[Nate]

Not necessarily, I just realized what you said was very similar to what Lavar Ball said.

Except for the fact that, I'm talking about an overrated "MVP" candidate. And lavar was talking about a 2 time MVP.

CJ is better than Thomas.

Thomas is putting up great scoring numbers because he's surrounded by elite defenders at every position, and has a great coach.

Switch him with either of Dame or CJ, and Boston is the #1 seed.

He's overrated.

Dame and CJ are better. Thomas is overrated.

 

[Nate]

Dame and Thomas play exactly alike. Both shoot first scoring PGs and both terrible defenders.

They don't play exactly alike. And one of them is an elite athlete. Thomas would be eaten alive if he was in the western conference, and had the supporting cast that dame has had.

And while neither is a good defender. Thomas makes dame look like Wes Mathews.

 

[Nate]

Why?

Why was he being a bitch?

 

[Nate]

Thomas is dame-light.
He's worse at literally everything.
Scoring
Rebounding
Passing
Defending
He's a midget
And way less athletic.

And somehow he's in the MVP conversation.

How is he not overrated?

 

[Chris Craig]

Congrats to Booker. Sucks his team still lost despite his scoring record. Never cared much for him, but congrats all the same

How bout that Wisconsin game?

 

[Chris Craig]

How bout that Wisconsin game?

Epic game, back and forth, a game of runs...a crazy ass shot off one foot for overtime, a battle in extra minutes, college ball doesn't get much better that!

Can't believe the same crazy 3 point shot happened twice!

 

[Chris Craig]

Can't believe the same crazy 3 point shot happened twice!

probably wont happen again anytime soon

This sets the record for uselessly not making your team win in a blowout loss. The Suns were down 15 the whole game and never led. Boston let them have a few points in the last minute and lose by only 10.

...Phoenix coach Earl Watson began fouling the Celts and calling timeouts down the stretch to get his 20-year-old budding star extra possessions and, thus, opportunities to pad his total.

Asked if the Celts were unhappy about it, Thomas said, “Yeah. I don’t think anybody has ever seen that, continuing to call timeouts, continuing to foul when we’re up 15. But, I mean, it was obvious what they were trying to do. They were trying to get him the most points possible."

...Booker, the second-year wing whose previous best had been 39 points.

Leading his team to a better record?

 

[Scalma]

I don't want to sound like an old school idiot, but I'm not really down for what the Suns did to get booker those 70. Feels cheap.

 

[BrianFromWA]

say what you will, at least Tony Delk was trying to win in overtime.

 

[Nate]

Leading his team to a better record?

So you think they would have a worse record, if you switched Thomas, with dame?


Having a way better team, and a way better coach has nothing to do with them having a better record? Cmon dad, basketball is a team sport. You know this.

 

[Blazers Roy]

They will probably trade him if they can acquire Ball or Fultz in the summer ,nature of the business.

@Mediocre Man has asked me to ask you not to call him dad anymore.

 

[Nate]

Would you say he's feast or famine?

Make an argument for Thomas being better than dame at any of those things.

You could say "he averages 2 more points per game" but that's a pretty weak argument, if you actually watch basketball.

 

[Nate]

No. Just as I dont think our record would be worse

So you think their impact is exactly the same?
