This is the 2nd least efficient 30pt game in his career. The least efficient is a game in 2012 where he scored 35pts on 11/34 FG against the Lakers.

Why didn't 7 foot Steph Curry just shoot over his defender??? Curious...πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

If only he had 10 illegal screens set for him 😞

Book struggled tonight too. A rough game for the Suns. It happens.

He rolled his ankle, no? I heard someone say he couldn’t even drive to the basket.

[–] CharityShot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude was 0-6 to start the game i don't think him getting injured is the reason he was bad.

No, he just played like shit.

He was pretty damn awful even before the Ankle

Toronto nightlife strikes again. Drake the 16th man.

[–] frankyseven@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Toronto has basically the perfect defense to stop KD in OG, Scottie, and Spicy P.

This cat can't shoot

They tried to murder him

[–] LocustUprising@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s a current Cade type stat line right there

Let me guess, least efficient was in the play off series we lost to the warriors the year we should have won it all, when kd shot 22% from 3 on the series

[–] ThirdEyeKaiii@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yet Russ' TS% was lower than KD's that series despite the weaker defensive attention

[–] WatchMeRayRay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you count the playoffs, he had an absolutely disastrous game against the Mavs (2016 Game 2) where he went 7-33 for 21 points

Booker stopped shooting to save his percentages. Someone had to make up for it.

Whoever they play next better start praying

dude took 38 shots, could've been a 78 point game if he made all those

[–] soundjunkeyz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he took 30 shots btw, 36 if you include FTs

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle

[–] fucking-migraines@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The fact that 33% is his 2nd worst is a lowkey insane stat.

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

*30 point game. He could have had tons of under 33% games that he didn't score 30.

He dropped over 30 at a worse rate in game 6 vs the dubs

How times have changed or just picking on this talented player. So many former superstars had stats like this night after night and would get praised for it. Carmello, mcgrady, Iverson, kobe, harden and I know there's a many more.

He went 10/31 and 1/8 from 3 in game 6 vs the warriors in 2016. So not 2nd least overall but 2nd least efficient regular season game

Contenders should be hounding for OG at the deadline
