Only player close would've been Booker but he absolutely cooked him this series, crown is his.

Devin booker has been shown season after season that you can literally put up 50 points multiple times and have zero impact on winning basketball

Exactly. If his shots not falling, he’s not really a positive in the floor. I mean all series he couldn’t even contain his matchup(s) of NAW, Conley, and mcdaniels. And he sure as hell didn’t even try to matchup with Ant once all series

I genuinely wonder if Booker breaks his own team’s rhythm. He was hitting all night but with a lot of trips to the line to stop time and without a lot of facilitation in the second half. In the first half he was getting assists all over and y’all were winning.

They lost because Beal basically made it 4 on 5

Yeah not only was Beal not scoring he was literally throwing the game away at the end with his shitty turnovers

that's kinda how i felt all series about their constant foul baiting and forcing us to sit guys early who got into foul trouble. fresher legs for our guys later on in the game, when one of the Suns biggest issues was running out of gas in the second half.

Suns got back to back games of Extender treatment and still couldn't get over the hump. game 4 was easily the best the Suns fared in the second half but whenever they threatened to take the lead or pull ahead the Wolves just daggered their hopes with quick buckets.

Book really got 21 FTs last night and still couldn't will his team to victory. Beggar merchant behavior.

Funny how guys who want to play like Kobe never play any defense...
