    And he only shot 2 free throws…. and ahot 80 percent. One of his best playoff games so far.

    we're seeing a Klay type performance with DBook.
    KD open up the D for him and vice versa.

  25. 。

    When Deandre Ayton turned into a Kwame Brown, Booker had to put up a performance like that.

  30. Amr Del

    47 booker 36 kd and yet they won by 6 it sounds elilination for suns no way the two will do that 4 times

    Thing about my Boi Booker is he don’t need to chunk up 10-15 3s a game to get 40 plus like some guys in GS.

  39. Ivan Sarcevic

    Great skills, no complain about that. But this boy just isn't worth of paying attention. He's overprotected in offense, similar to Harden. And always bitchin' about his fouls. Simply doesn't deserve any fame or the ring. I'm sorry fans & NBA, but you all chearin' for the wrong guy.
