None of this really means anything other than maybe the basketball gods hate Book lol.
Thankfully, Suns won most of his other 50+ point games: 58 vs NOP (Dec 2022, W), 52 vs NOP again (Jan this season, W), 52 vs NOP AGAIN LMAO HE HATES THE PELS (Apr ALSO THIS SEASON, W), 51 vs CHI (Nov 2022, W), 50 vs WAS (Mar 2019, L).
So he had 3 50pt this game this season (twice vs the Pels, gg) and went 2-1, nice.

Actually hates the Pelicans.
One guy scoring a ton of points doesn’t automatically equate to his team winning the game and might even be a detriment, more at 11
and this is why scoring ain’t everything
That’s why his 70 point game overrated as fuck lol
basketball is a team sport. Sometimes having the offense so focused on one person is bad for the team. Wilt scored 70 or more three times in losses.
Sometimes you gotta let one person eat. but a players high scoring game doesnt always translate to wins. Just look at Bradley Beal
Cool story
Just means Suns was omega cheeks that they needed this many points from their star. We Mavs fans know what that’s like.
Luka is very proud of his sun
Many players in the last seasons has stat pad some great scoring games and they lose, that’s why I appreciate Luka even more, because he does overdo it sometimes but he still goes for the win
The end of that 70 point game was really funny, I just remember them fouling and calling timeouts so they could run plays for him even though it was like a 20 point game.
I think they took a team photo celebrating it after the loss lmao thank god that team never won anything
That 70 is so weak lol

D Book doesn’t have a high basketball IQ. He gets baited in to one on one match ups just to get him into hero ball and out of his teams game plan. Dude has a wild ego and doesn’t really care about winning.
Certified loser
Why we catching strays on our day off?
A Sixers flare posting this? Booker has made it out of the second round of the playoffs, unlike Embiid
Prob better to have two or three players combine for 70 amid a cohesive scheme where everyone is involved rather than one player work their tail of for 70.
I mean weren’t his teammates fouling at the end so he’d get the ball back?
The 62 pointer one pisses me off the most.
The 70 point one was a moral team one. It’s inflated but we were so ass it was good to see our future star put up a crazy statline.
The Utah one is whatever. We were ass that year. Tbh with context only the 62 pointer is bad.
Anyone shitting on booker or calling him not a team player low iq for these game, you can use the site and swap in Michael Jordan name. His 2nd and 3rd highest scoring game were loses too.
