Lmaooooo y’all couldnt wait for the whole team is it debate huh? “Who is the alpha” lmao espn something else
It is simple as to why russ is playing better with the clippers than the lakers. The coach believes in him more.
Short answer: Booker
This argument is so tired🤦🏿♂️
Dev wasn't a top 5 player when healthy. Cut it out.
KD is drawing gravity like Steph but can’t handle it. KD was D Book on Golden State he was only dealing with single coverage.
its books team. always has been and when phx needs someone to step up its always book
Clippers entire defensive scheme is designed around KD. Cut it out
windhorst such a bad analyst
See right there you guys laughing referencing the whole Scott Foster thing. That just shows y'all know Scott Foster is dirty why hasn't something been done about it?!?? It's crazy the league finds the players but we don't hear anything about the refs being fined on really bad calls. Again something needs to be done for real And again you guys are not the only ones who acknowledge that even D'Angelo Russell called it and that was on national TV. Smh
LMAO THE ALPHA OMG DONT MAKE ME THROW UP FROM LAUGHING
He’s getting doubled you guys, so stupid
This NBA hype on Phoenix is gag worthy. Norman Powell a 6th man had 42 points…Westbrook outscored KD with 30 points…Bones Hyland had 20 points……….it's the refs to the rescue 46 free throws…smdh…for Phoenix and they win by only 5 points with refs help
They tryna make it one guys team or the others. IT’S THEIR TEAM.
It’s Book and it isn’t even a competition
Im a Kevin Durant fan but Phoenix is defently Booker's team every move the Suns make is to build around Booker he is the franchise player now Kevin Durant is the best player but Book is the face of the franchise
We don’t wanna hear the apologies to Russ, especially from Brian!
3 idiots who think that real athletes who plays the game should please them. 🤦♂️😂!
The most intriguing run KD had was when he was playing the two man game with Ayton. That was the first we saw of that and it looked pretty effective.
I’m reality.. KD just has the teams attention. He’s drawing all the double teams. They literally refuse to let KD catch a rhythm. And he’s playing defense and setting up offense and rebounding. Book is definitely taking advantage of this tho
If you're watching these games you would realize the Clippers are box and 1 guarding KD and daring Booker to beat them. KD gets doubled and tripled as soon as he touches the ball
Clippers should blitz DBook instead of KD. KD not going to force it and more times than not is going to make the right decision with the ball when he's being blitzed. DBook on the other hand is a little of a ball hog and gets gets tunnel vision as a scorer (which is fine when he's cooking) so if Clippers blitz DBook and force him to make the right decisions could work in the Clippers favor. Leave CP3 open make him have to score 30
I hate how underrated Craig is it’s beyond disrespectful at this point
Durant doesnt have 40 its a bad game thats the narrative right now
Booker – Western Conference MVP
KD – Finals MVP
stfu. They’re playing great basketball.
Book literally said after that game KD is the reason he’s getting these buckets lol Book is feasting tho! Same way KD feasted off of Steph/Klay gravity.
how is this a question it's always has been book's team
And mofos were really trying to say Donovan Mitchell and SGA were better than Book?! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
kD nor book or even CP care who the alpha or who’s team it is…. Lol they want to win!!! They want to get the finals and raise that trophy!
Phoenix is Book
Bontemps: The Suns stink
Windhorst: Torrey Craig has been solid
Bontemps: Thats not going to continue 🤣.
I swear this guy has an awesome to grind with the Suns. All the Suns do is win and he keeps dogging on them. Torrey Craig has been solid. Oh so thats not going to last? BUT WESTBROOK BALLING OUT IS GOING TO LAST?!?! I swear he picks and chooses what he wants to say to suit his opinion. Stop gaslighting us.
There’s not like alpha , the boy took his team to the nba finals as the number 1 option. This has always been his team , just media tryna manufacture clickbait for the casuals
I just wish I could Watch the game here in Phx but there was a Blackout
The clips have a great bench and the suns best bench player is injured. But the NBA can be deceiving as the Clips barely beat the Suns bench rigjt before this series. The celtics and denver lost to the suns bench a week prior. Teams just dont play benches seriously.
Since LA has the best bench i see the suns being able to sit Book and KD more against future teams
I mean Devin Booker is in year 8 in PHX, went undefeated in the Bubble, ppl tried to make it seem like CP3 Was the reason for the turnaround & try to discredit Booker. KD has played in maybe 12 games with PHX, of course it's Booker team. They still trying to fit KD in the system.
couple of shtty unathletic white guys trying to give basketball advice. why is this a thing. "russell westbrook makes this a 8th seed team". yet this team with Russ, has literally almost defeated the suns in each game. they lost by 4 against a super team. and it was just him and powell, with a late resurgance by bones. like are you kidding me. put respect on russ name.
Call it like it is. The suns got help from the refs. There were many blatant fouls on the clippers that weren't being called. KD and book get all the credit for the win but the refs should get the most credit. No PG no Kawhi and an unfair whistle and still got within 5 pts. Come on now does the NBA not allow analyst to call out the refs. Really despicable. Most unfair series in NBA history. This is why the NBA is losing ratings. There is an obvious agenda. Not sure f its because the clippers are a smaller franchise and the turn out of a championship won't bring in the revenue they need to complete a "good" season. The facts are there: the post season schedule no breaks between games while others get 3 days off or 2 days off. The whistle is heavily favored for the suns. At this point the clippers should go on strike and not even play game 4 make a stand! Fans shouldn't buy tickets for games. Lets do something about this!!!
KD washed.
The clippers got robbed. The calls didn't go their way. Monty Williams complaining about the the free throw disparity seems to have worked and now the clippers have to suffer for it and instead of doing the same thing, trying to be better, they shut up during the post game interview and nobody talks about it.
Just call them out. Kawhi and PG were out, but they still would've won. The refs wore a suns Jersey and nobody gets it, because they didnt watch the game.
Book best Sg in the league and officially a two way player
As long as he is there it’s always gonna be Book’s team
KD is the greatest Robin of all-time, but Booker is Batman
Can’t name a player in the NBA that’s playing better than Book right now. 💯
Nah I think this success is all happening due to KD's presence.
