We all have sex. Some just get paid for it.

Yes but some of us give it, and some of us take it in the ass.

They still lost the game

Holy what an embarrasment

Helped my fantasy team

This is the exact opposite of Spurs basketball.

And our starting SG averages 7 a game

He doesn't win games. Your team wins games.

Semantics, I know, but you put him on the Suns and Booker on the Spurs and sure, 70 doesn't happen, unless you're talking about wins.

Booker wouldn't help the Spurs this year IMO. He's obviously a more talented player but his defense isn't up to par, his shooting is wildly inefficient and his TO rate is really, really poor. Basically, he's like you would expect a young talented player on a really really awful team with terrible habits.

Efficiency breeds efficiency. Give Booker the Spurs structure, methods, and surrounding talent, he'd be more efficient. See his college days.

Agree on his defense. But I also think Spurs system fixes much of that. He has world class agility times for footspeed, so his defensive ability laterally isn't a problem. I think it's mostly mentality. He simply doesn't have to put forth the effort on the Suns, and he knows it.

But the point of the post was to point out the obvious that one person isn't going to win a game. Not by scoring 7, and not by scoring 70.

When did this turn into an Amare' Stoudemire thread?

Booker on the Spurs would be awesome. It would be like Simmons but with scoring talent.

But swapping Green for Booker definitely means the defense suffers (a LOT since Green is usually on the opponents best guy for Q1-3 this year, since Kawhi needs to be the entire offense the entire game)

Booker with the Spurs and Pop bench him just before reaching 70 tbh...

[baseline bum]

Was it a meaningful 70? no.

But who cares? We suck. But Booker scored 70 at 20 years of age on a top-10 defense.

That's at least sort cool. And, he did it with maybe the worst coach in the league. And with a bunch of college players as sidekicks.

70 on 40 shots at age 20. That's at least hope, no?

It's sad we've been reduced to this.

But Booker/Jackson, that's a bigtime wing combination for the next 6-7 years or so.

The first 59 points were amazing. The last 11 were a disgrace.

wanted the spurs to trade parker plus whatever for him last year.
