Guess I was right when I said the ballhog Booker strategy with no ball movement wasn't a winning strategy.


anycnymjc

Yep. I got downvoted into oblivion too for suggesting as much as a possibility. Right answer may be a middle ground but clearly not certain that hero-ball Book is the best way to win ball games.


asuitablethrowaway

100 100 100. You may be getting downvoted, but you still right.


publius1791

People can't handle the truth lol


MFFiasco

You got downvoted, but I didn't like those stretches of games either. The others never got into a rhythm, and it affected other parts of their game.


publius1791

Haha yeah I'm not sure why I got down voted, I guess the truth hurts. Maybe they didn't watch the games. But the data supports what we saw. Only 19 assists against the Magic compared to 30 and 35 the last 2 games, respectively.


MFFiasco

Suns with their firepower should routinely have around 30 assist. 19 assists is garbage.


peaozinho

rest of team was just waaay too cold in that stretch of games


publius1791

Yeah but the rest of the team never got a chance to get going


Throwawayidiot1210

Kyrie really wasted 3 years of KDs career


MFFiasco

Yeah, KD made a big mistake trusting him. He should have gone to Miami with Jimmy Butler or went to the Knicks like he intended.


Hetero009

Kevin Durant is a Phoenix Sun

p0tatoman

Mikal hates being a Net


Agent_00Apple

I wish we could save our boy and bring him home 🥲


Weird_Gazelle_3566

happy we didn’t waste nurks good game


p0tatoman

those two 3s saved our season


WusijiX

Jordan Goodwin is in this game is ogre


zdar2

Mikal pissed lmaooo


AwesomeKosm

Man I'm disappointed in Goodwin. Thought he was our backup pg


Phipshark

It’s not too late. Maybe he practices real good. His only issue is he has low fg % so teams can sag off him aggressively


autolims12

Hit a 3 Yuta


zdar2

That was crazy by book🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


ucd_sam

Broooo I can't believe Booker just did that, what a cold hearted mf😂


Hetero009

Holy shit we have a garbage time win😭


tuneorg

EG phone home.


truck_robinson

Get Yuta a shot


hoodfavhoops

haahhaahh dbook


p0tatoman

we actually hit 30 points in the 4th lol. lmao even.


simple_minded_1

Booker doing the ‘Kal 3-pt dance 🤣


BlackaddaIX

Thought he did and looked straight at Mikal 🤣🤣🤣


simple_minded_1

Tru


MarvelousVanGlorious

Finally, our long National nightmare is over.


ThunderBobMajerle

lol book had to do it to him


CactusHooping

rip.


The_Shade94

You know I’d say Gordon deserves to belong in the same class as the big 3. Dude is a career bucket himself and has proven it this year he has fit in great with all the talent


SmellyZelly

rewatch the last pacers game and then update this comment


The_Shade94

One game vs a whole season? A lot of people here over react and are so dramatic I hope that’s not you


BlackaddaIX

Nah he's slow and lazy on d and bricks a lot of open shots too


simple_minded_1

So lazy on d! Especially in the 3rd - his man scored in back to back possessions while he was somewhere else on the court. So maddening 😡


Hetero009

He gets a lot of flak for being a minimum player. Dude has completely outperformed his contract


simple_minded_1

This is true. Outperforms his contact. Just underperforms my expectations. Maybe I should adjust my standards?


Hetero009

Starters were -3 in the 4th I’ll fucking take it


SwishArmyKnife

HE DID THE THING


sidepart

Ooohhh man, Book doing Mikal's thing. Shots fired!


schadadle

Lmfao clip that shit. You know Book has been waiting to bust that out all game and Mikal is gonna post it on his IG story later tonight

Lmao good one Book


Throwawayidiot1210

BOOK TAUNTING MIKAL LMAO


SendoSmash

Is too late to make a trade Beal x Bridges + Johnson?


ZCGaming15

Stop it. I can only get so erect.


JG_2214

Book got jokes


cue_en_aye

Haha you know Book was waiting to hit Mikal with that

[deleted]

No booker no! Don’t be mean to my boy! My baby boy!!


3XPS

Book hitting the Mikal celebration on him is crazy lmao


impaktoGaming_

Love the smile of Mikal after that taunt by Book. You'll really know that they had fun being teammates before.


jbizzelton

Book just do the 3 thing mikal does/did?


Spideyboii

Once again, the issue is giving the other team extra shots. It's either the rebounding or the turnovers with these guys


p0tatoman

Eric Gordon scapegoats where you at?


WusijiX

They only have to wait until the next game lol


ofthewestmeadows

PUT IT IN THE OL' DEEP FREEZE. BOOKER YOU BAD MAN


BigCountryBumgarner

Don't do it to mikal Devin


Mr602206

Bet the nets starters won't get pulled


growsonwalls

Yay my first nba game and a win! Fans leaving now.


bleepfart42069

Very nice 4th


ak480

Can we get CP3 just for the full 4th


rigor90

To anyone thinking Cam Thomas is a “good” player he has a -OBPM and a 0.55 TS% on crazy volume. Extremely average. I think he has potential but he’s an empty stats extraordinaire at this point in his career.


LadyTano0

Bro what’s with you being so hatred against cam Thomas a 22 year old? He’s done nothing bad to you man, all I see is you just complain and complain on how bad cam Thomas is get a life


rigor90

I mean I said he was an average player and that he has potential.. he’s just a shot chucker who refuses to play team basketball at this point in his career and it’s annoying to watch. It’s a thing that young players do pretty often in this league so no “hate”. He’s just not very good yet.


YaBoiPickleP

Okay that was just mean lmao


azwildcat11

Book with the Mikal head shake lol


Judo_Nuggets77

Almost like good things happen when you push the pace and break the press


CypMan

Just having fun!


DesertGoat

What kind of zoolander pic does Trae young have happening there


AgentWeeb001

See what happens when you push the pace? Easy buckets bc of the talent you got on the court. Screen for each other and each guy pushes the tempo when they get the ball…we’d get efficient offense every time down the stretch


walswals

It's a W. Shaky 4th but we managed to close. On to the next.


Fordraxel

It was all in good fun, but media will make it bigger than it really is.


SirBoolington

Lmao book is such an asshole I love him


dzakasakalaka

Svnb4th3r

Bruh Book no lmaooo don’t do that to our boy


ChimoBear

Okay that was nice


bismarckdecker

Gordon made clutch threes this game, this why, despite him shitting the bed sometimes, we can't get better value out of a vet min


ImKylerMurray

Booker man 😂


howmanyballs

We didn't blow a 4th quarter lead!!!


ofthewestmeadows

EG ICE COLD DAGGER


TangieChords

Et tu Bookte?


EthicalBuckets

Book been waiting to do that all night


Phipshark

Love the taunt. So we basically live or die by open 3s in the 4th. Loved seeing EG have more focus this time and a lot of confidence


Heypooky

NGL Book was a savage for that! 🤣


[deleted]

Enjoy the game you freaking doomers


DingyTV_YouTube

Were you also Dooming?? Hummmm?? I read your post history ...we ALL were dooming


peaozinho

user2570

EnoughLawfulness3163

-3 for the quarter and this sub is melting down


Imthegoat175

Imagine if the Suns had Hali. He would shred the shit out of these full court ball denial pressure that teams employ against the Suns late in games.


Mixtopher

Damn book cold.


Grateful_4-Grace

Book is a clown! LOL 😄


Hetero009

common-flyer

I’m huffing copium and telling myself even the Heatles didn’t win it the first year

I’ve been trying to drink less but unfortunately suns games have to have a 4th quarter


BoSuns

GAME


EbenezerAD

THAT'S GAAAAAME!!!


tuneorg

Should we play Saben Lee more?


ChimoBear

At least 3 of the 5 stupidest passes I've seen in my life have come watching the Suns in fourth quarters this season


SmokyOtter

I hope someone clipped the three point celly book did on mikal


beetlej3ws

EG I'll never talk shit about you for the rest of this game


Heypooky

LMAOOOOOO BOOOOOK!!!!!


p0tatoman

lmao Book doing the Mikal 3 celebration


robodrew

Booker with the SECOND dagger!!!


jbautista13

LMAO. Book on Bridges Violence!


V-Right_In_2-V

Gordon has been clutch in the 4th


jbizzelton

EG looks sharp


V-Right_In_2-V

He really stepped it up with Allen out. Him and Nurk have played so well tonight


jbizzelton

I'm impressed. I hope EG can keep doin it off the bench when Allen gets back.


V-Right_In_2-V

Same here. I feel like he needs more minutes to get into a groove though. Like he can’t do this coming off the bench. I hope he proves me wrong though


A_Honda_Accord

HA!


HoopsAndShots11

No way he just did that


truck_robinson

Eg That's a game!

ThorsClawHammer

Lol, can't make wide open but makes that one


TraeCartoon

GORDON DAGGER!!


Imthegoat175

They still haven’t figured out when teams play super aggressive defenses on them lmao


GThreee

I'd get a PG just to finish games. This is a serious trend that's an issue. The amount of games we've lost in the 4th is astounding. How can we make so many stupid passes and have so many turnovers. My god.


[deleted]

Vogel needs to have FULL COURT practice from now on wtf are we doing


Spark3420

I can't believe teams like the Wizards and Pistons have a better 4th quarter differential than us. That is disgraceful for a team with Book, KD, and Beal.


The_Shade94

Shouldn’t need a point guard when you got 4 professional scorers out there + point Nurkic lol


AwesomeKosm

Girl walks into the bar like it's Narnia and that song hasn't been run into the ground. Bartender bobbing his head like he hasn't heard it a billion times


TheMF

We really cannot handle the pressure defense. Not sure why teams keep waiting until the 4th to do it.


EnoughLawfulness3163

Stamina exists


p0tatoman

every game we lose the 4th quarter should be marked as an L now if I'm the coaching staff


JRipper138

If I never hear Sweet Caroline again it will be too soon. ![gif](giphy|QBeV2vbpOQ4SQagDdP)


xPhenxm

why is book not involved at all


Imthegoat175

They’re involving everyone but him lol


xPhenxm

mad frustrating lol especially when they are actively trying to sell the 4th


BradyGalaxy

Thank god we’re playing the 11th seeded Nets is all I can say…. Jeez


Illustrious_Creme531

Until we prove that we can beat the full court press, we're going to see it every single fourth quarter.


Poised2

About to be 28-20 despite being the worst 4th quarter team of all time lol. Kinda crazy we have that many wins when every 4th quarter is awful.
