Booker was quite literally the only player that had a good game tonight.

And he did it with a sore toe.

The Suns are Booker's team. That's really the primary takeaway. No other takeaways about an end of an era/etc. are really applicable or necessary. Booker has already been great, been a star, and now looks primed to be a superstar this season.

His playmaking and his defense elevating as it has is what is going to see him potentially lead this Suns team to the title this season.

Look at all these 1st game overreactions 😂

[–] Yuzurihak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh yea, Booker definitely didnt do this but better in the playoffs against a better team, yeah 😂

[–] tuckerdg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s his playoff stats in elimination games again 😂

[–] Yuzurihak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, stats, dub nation, box scores. Yes 😂

Not a solid top 10. Got bailed out in that fourth by nurk Okogie and Gordon.

[–] admanwhitmer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes it’s amazing that players like John Stockton had the most bail outs in nba history

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Was turning it over and getting locked up non stop in the fourth.

[–] admanwhitmer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He scored or assisted on the final 15 points for phx…. But yeah he slipped once and turned it over on a break once…. Trash player

[–] JimmyToucan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

but i thought no depth?

[–] cuhman1cuhman2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's honestly very good. I think for players not in their prime yet its been Luka and Tatum >>>> everyonelse, but with last playoffs and if he continues I think you could argue he's closing in on them. Hes that good at putting the ball in the basket

[–] Neinhaltt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Headband Books is something else.

[–] LusoAustralian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very good game from him. Considering playoffs last year too it feels like he has to be #1 option for suns?

[–] Sliiiiime@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s been the #1 option for 5+ years lol

[–] rattatatouille@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Book is the Suns superstar.

Last 3 suns baskets off Devin Booker assists!

Booker clearly should've been ranked in the top 10

[–] mamba-pear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He looked like the best player on the floor tonight and it wasn’t close.

He’s gotten more patient to get to his spots and he made his shots.

Not sure about end of an era quite yet. Steph was in early foul trouble, maybe in a couple more years.

[–] Sportacles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A weird thought I had during the game -- Booker plays so smooth it's probably very easy for the people of 2k to animate

The funny part is animations were actually notorious for being trash for ages though. lol They just gave him some default jank ass animations that looked nothing like his IRL play.

Until he got the cover last year then they brought him into the studio and motion captured him to finally fix the animations.

lol In the video from 2K where he got mocapped, Booker himself said he didn't like to play as himself because they had him very "generic":

[–] caulpain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

he’s top tier now. top five in the league imo.

[–] maddogfarm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

prime MVP candidate, if your on an team with KD/Beal, drop 30 points AND win? yeah he might get up there this year

Booker is starting to look like the best guard in the league, period. We have a whole season to figure it out, but it's not crazy to believe he surpasses Luka and Steph this season.

[–] Gontofinddad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta show he can preserve his gas tank in a series first, before he’ll get that respect.
