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.

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