He was hurt after the 2nd quarter then they brought him back out and he got hurt again and they left him out there. I have no idea what they are doing I bet Booker told them he was fine and tried to play through it but that’s on the coaching staff to shut that down

[–] dd_penny@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He don't like to be double teamed especially long-armed players.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Personally, I blame the mascot

[–] StefonDiggsHS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

suns mega dumb for continuing to play him

[–] AcxdBxmb@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It seems that they don't have any control over him. It's pretty common that he rushes back from injuries and plays whilst hurt.

[–] BradyGalaxy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

yes we are. and we do this every single year, book gets hurt, we put him back out there, and then he gets even more hurt.

[–] koiz_01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The cockroaches have been starving for weeks to post.

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean this is an obvious shit post. Everyone with a brain knows Booker got hurt and has been balling when healthy.

[–] HeroGolem3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He could barely run in the second half because of that ankle lol. Did nothing in the first half either

[–] JonasJones4life@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He sprained his ankle in the 3rd quarter and was basically a decoy the rest of the game. Just stood at the 3 point line

[–] Horror_Cow_9440@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Raps mascot owns him

[–] Vermillion_Crab@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I was not focused on the game but it felt like he barely touched the ball in the 4th.

[–] ForceMaster999@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No idea why they let him return after he tweaked his ankle and went to locker room in early 3rd Q

[–] KnickedUp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scottie Arms got ‘em

[–] Bballopinion@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Eh off game for Book and KD. Suns fans shouldn't worry. Still barely lost with KD and Book playing horrid.

[–] rice_bledsoe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

TO THE TOP YOU GO KIND REDDITOR!

[–] ReevusXL@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nets 2.0. He got an ankle injury now KD about to play the next 25-35 games alone.

[–] LoxDnw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's no way he's all-nba right?

[–] Original_Trick_8552@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Idk if I should downvote this because your talking about all NBA 15 games into the season, or because he played injured and your saying that, or because all NBA is positionless and there is no shot he doesn't make it.

[–] moondowns@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s definitely not all nba. This new injury will eliminate him, he’s got like 9 or 10 games left before he’s out which probably the amount he will miss.

[–] nikop@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

there is no shot he doesn't make it

wtf let's not act like Booker is Steph Curry or Luka. There's a very good chance he doesn't make it.

[–] Original_Trick_8552@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If he meets the game requirements he's definitely making it but I did forget he already missed like 8 games

[–] PlumCantaloupe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Switching from Barnes to OG or vice versa is hell. Also, Pascal looked great on defence too. Those three made it hard.

[–] kanekikochaboggy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Might be misleading as I saw him nursing his ankle In the 4th. Possible injury.

[–] NeolibGood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lmao the best point guard in the league am I right?

[–] nikop@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I just saw that post in the sidebar and I can't believe people actually believe that shit. Booker the best PG in the league lmfao

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not sure why the Suns kept putting him back in even after he limped off lol

It was clear they didn't actually think he could play at normal capacity given that the Raptors put OG on KD the whole time and still Booker never even tried to score in the clutch

[–] Classics22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Got absolutely clamped by OG

OG and Sct Brn jail is real

[–] Rrypl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

did he think it was an elimination game or something?

[–] WusijiX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Idk why he was playing post ankle roll, he couldn't even drive to the basket

[–] Green_Hunt_1776@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

KD was worse. 30 points on 30 shots is egregious

[–] Kuntsaw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Got locked up and then rolled his ankle, should not have come back in he could barely run properly. Definitely going to miss a game.

[–] odontodoc@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scottie put him in jail. Also Book might be out awhile, ankle gonna swell overnight.

[–] ExtraterrestrialKey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

54 treball is odee shooting hang pulls?

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not tonight he wasn't. Odee sad...

[–] Brady331@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They said he was better than Tatum

[–] nikop@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Simmons has had some really dumb takes lately

[–] amr1115@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

booker is a better offensive player tho, one shit game doesn’t change that

[–] goobywoobies@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

damn that’s crazy

[–] truth_2_point_0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Someone do an iminyourhead.gif with the Raptors mascot

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s one way to blow up your averages lol

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

and your daily reminder LBJ has gone 1150 STRAIGHT games with double digit scoring!

That’s over 15 straight seasons at 75 games a year

[–] ExtremeNo1952@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Scottie Barnes, OG Anunoby effect

[–] Whitecrewneck@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Trade him

[–] dizzymidget44@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Those are Cade Cunningham numbers

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

BAH GAWD! THAT'S JORDAN POOLE'S MUSIC!

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That Mascot must really terrify him...

[–] 3s2ng@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

LeBron would have shoot a 3 and then subbed himself out.

But seriously whats the need on playing him with injury?
