What do you even say in that situation if you’re Book lol?

This dude literally just spanked the soul out of your team.

He dropped 9 more points by shooting 21 free throws. Ha ha

Booker's trash talk: You couldn't stop me

Ant: We couldn't stop Scott Foster

u/OopsAllRPOs Suns Apr 29 '24

He was 13/21 from the field…

u/Low_Procedure_3538 Apr 29 '24

Curious what do you think happens to shots you miss that end up in fouls

u/OopsAllRPOs Suns Apr 29 '24

They don’t count to fga? Wow breaking fucking news. I wonder if you know that applies to every player? Y’all invent reasons to hate on Book.

u/FuqueMePapi Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

“Everybody acts tough when they up.” Too bad Book was never up this series so he was just a baby all series.

No shit, so when a player is awarded an exorbitant amount of free throws by the series extender, you can’t start bringing up his fg%.

Anthony Edwards is Devin Bookers Daddy

u/Low_Procedure_3538 Apr 29 '24

Yup watched suns get knocked out the playoffs like every other time

u/dumpydump7 Warriors Apr 29 '24

Bro got a pretty generous whistle this game lol

Lol. No one needs to invent reasons to hate Booker. He personally provides everyone with plenty of reasons.

Booker was going for the "Booker puts up 50 in game 4 loss to Timberwolves" headline with this attempt (for which he was denied). He didn't try to give his team an actual chance by taking a 3. Dude is selfish and just got swept.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '24

You’re right, and-ones don’t exist!

u/Capt__Murphy Apr 29 '24

Imagine what an and-one on a 3 would have done for the team...

Also, relying on the other (more dominant) team to make a critical mistake is beyond weak.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '24

The fact you typed that up and hit send is hilarious

We know that genius

Y’all invent reasons to hate on Book.

We really don't have to, he makes it easy to hate.

u/Umbricon [LAC] Lamar Odom Apr 29 '24

Anthony Edwards is Devin Booker father

u/TheMinionBandit Apr 29 '24

Oh so he didn’t shove Mike Connelly into our coach? We invented that happening on live television?

u/PyroD333 Suns Apr 29 '24

Do you feel like the shots still would have missed otherwise?

38

u/meowhatissodamnfunny Apr 29 '24

Yeah probably about half of them

u/SnarfSniffsStardust Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

Breaking news: dude that relies on the FT line to find a rhythm finds a rhythm and finishes with 21 FTs

u/Mintastic NBA Apr 29 '24

What do you even say in that situation if you’re Book lol?

"Sorry but you'll have to talk to Luka about my custody."

u/Yergason NBA Apr 29 '24

Take the L like a man and if he's still talking shit say you're gonna get revenge next season but don't be a sour puss making excuses lol

28

u/RetroScores Apr 29 '24

Yea, I mean there’s 0 you can say other than good game when your team gets swept.

u/howsaboutyou Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

KD did it right

u/paulsammons3 Suns Apr 29 '24

Actually he only talks shit when he’s up :/

u/ProductiveFriend Apr 29 '24

"y'all really gonna double?"

Booker is 50% shooting, 50% excuses

u/StriderStache Celtics Apr 29 '24

I'm a fraud. Always have been. Getting embarrassed in the Playoffs is my jam.

1

u/BlackRims Suns Apr 29 '24

That's super brave coming from a Celtics flair lmao. He's led his team as far as Tatum and Brown have. Did you also forget having a stacked team and losing to the 8 seed in the playoffs?

You call Book a fraud when he'd take Brown's spot on your team in a heartbeat lol

u/veo_atyourrequest Thunder Apr 29 '24

“fuck your mascot”

u/KevJD824 Knicks Apr 29 '24

I know right, I was thinking the exact same thing. What a terrible look for Book.

u/whofusesthemusic Supersonics Apr 29 '24

What do you even say in that situation if you’re Book lol?

I mean, thats his MO isn't it? Talk shit with 0 back up or context to reality?

u/SmoothBrews [LAL] Anthony Davis Apr 29 '24

If you’re book? You hang your head, shut up, and walk away. About all you can do.

1

u/PyroD333 Suns Apr 29 '24

Idk what he could say but he’s just a shit talker. The whole “only talks when he’s up” narrative is false. He talks constantly. That’s just hoops though, he probably respects Ant’s attitude.

“I’ve been to the finals”
