and some people keep saying this nonsense is a high percentage shot. 2 average good midgrange shooter on that team and everything changes
That is the thing average midrange shooter is what percentage? Is it 40%, 45% or 50%. What is it exactly
The suns just went 3/15 from 2pts in the 1st quarter and nobody is yelling they should stop taking them, if it was from 3 the world will end.
Teams have cold shooting nights, it has always happened since basketball existed, to act as if midrange shooting has not caused teams win or series lose is ridiculous.

PS: My stance has always been, midrange shots should be for star players and great shooters because they are highly inefficient shots.
I will rather my role players who are not great shooters take 3s all night than they take long 2s that they will shoot at a worse percentage comparatively to the 3s.

Yeah Nigga, You are irredeemable

This is one big reason some folks are hesitant about D. Booker’s ability to lead a franchise. Man has stunk up the joint in this series. He has been outplayed by Doncic and has rarely been the best player for the Suns.

As for CP3, “Father time is undefeated”. The difference between age 36 and 37 is very obvious and opposing teams since the playoffs started are exploiting it.

37 no be beans, the playoffs have shown that they were right not to give Ayton the Max. As for Booker I will not say he has been bad all series, he has played great at least in 4 games, but he is really struggling tonight.
Luka is showing why even though the likes of Booker and Tatum have as good an offensive game and are better defenders everyone who knows basketball still picks him as the better player. They are basically trapping Booker and he his struggling to play out of it.

Baba, My guy celebrated 37 and he has just been bad. Abi, he spend 4 night inside Magic City for Atlanta ni?

That the thing, on bad shooting nights, no matter which shot you take as a team, they will end up bricking it. The reason why on a night the team as a whole is bricking the 3 shot is better is because you get an extra point for each you end up making

The fall off due to age for athletes is never gradual. It goes from 0 to 80 that quick

At least in 4 games you said? I am not sure we are watching the same series.

Game 1 - 23 Points
Game 2 - 30
Game 3 - 18
Game 4 - 35
Game 5 - 28
Game 6 - 19
Game 7 - 3 thus far in a pivotal game 7

Do these numbers represent someone who has played great in this series? You want me to show you Doncic’s numbers?
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:32am On May 16, 2022
Khanben:
I count 4 games were he played great, games 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Are we dropping the standards for Booker now? Let me know so that I don’t waste my time.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:38am On May 16, 2022

The Suns did not do him any favors with those heavy minutes he played in consecutive regular season games, especially when they had that winning run. I remember complaining about it..
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:43am On May 16, 2022
Bruh we have to score 0 points and these niggas 43 to lose this game. Man, i am estates

Which kind meltdown be dis?? shocked shocked huh huh
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:53am On May 16, 2022
Another choke job by the Suns after going 2-0 up to start this series. Where have we seen this before?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:02am On May 16, 2022
Skrrrrrrr:
grin grin grin grin
I just saw this.
What won't I see on this thread.
Someone with a FG% of 47% is what you call a spammer grin grin grin
For emphasis, that's a higher FG% than Kobe Bryant.
Curry shoots a Ton of 3s and save for this erratic season, he has never shot less than 40%, you can't be a spammer when you make them that high.
You need to be flogged for this blasphemy...
Lmao. Bros, I know what I said. Maybe na you no read am well. To spam threes means to take plenty of them.

You no even wait for game to end, you don already drop excuse. I mean who tells us anybody that, oh you won because of your rebounding. Am i not supposed to try to rebound?
That was a compliment to their rebounding na. Haa
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:05am On May 16, 2022
No, spamming as applied means unnecessarily plenty. cheesy grin

I haven't been to Twitter lately, but I'm sure Nick Wright has at least ten tweets about Luka being the next face of the league

Who decides how many threes should be taken in a game of basketball?

Your team don win...you don begin open mouth waaaaa

Nobody ever said Devin Booker could lead a franchise. Not even on this thread that is known for absurd opinions

But I guess Celtics win must have gotten to your head. Enjoy your short lived victory
Re: The NBA Begins by Blueelf: 3:11am On May 16, 2022
But where is Floor general nowhuh?

grin grin grin grin grin angry

Chris Paul the most complete point guard...Chris Paul better than Steph curry

All of you that made such stupid statements..just cover your illiterate heads in shame
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:13am On May 16, 2022
As a Lakers fan I actually wanted the Suns to win this series, and that's weird. But honestly, I think I'm enjoying this meltdown. F*ck them Suns. F*ck Crowder for disrespecting my boy LeBron. Remember when Bron told you to be humble? You're going to remain championship-less till you retire grin
