Devin Booker Knew The Suns Were Good For The Win When He Saw Giannis Attempt To Shoot A Jumper At The Buzzer
Here's the final play in question:
I don't even think you can say it was a hot take or do the skull emoji from Booker here. It's pretty obvious this is how you make Giannis beat you. He had 47 points! But the man just can't really shoot jumpers. You keep him out of the paint, you got a pretty good shot at stopping him. But this is what I want. I want Devin Booker and every other athlete in the world to be honest about this shit. We all talk about it on Twitter and on blogs and sitting with friends. Tell the media and the world that you thought you were good the moment you saw Giannis pull up for a jumper instead of getting into the paint. It's not even out of context, here's the whole quote:
I know Giannis is trying to improve his range and everything but he's still a 28% 3pt shooter. He still lives at getting to the rim and the free throw line. So this is actually great defense by Deandre Ayton as a big to be able to stay in front of Giannis here. I know there wasn't much time left, but Giannis absolutely can get to the lane here. When you look at his strides and length, it's not impossible for him to do that.
The Suns are so damn fun though. Booker is a star. Ayton, while he isn't Luka, is actually a damn good player. Chris Paul just knows how to play the game. They have the right fit of role players and stars. It's why they are 15-9 and 4th in the Western Conference. This isn't a fluke or anything, they are a good team. We saw the run in the bubble and it's carrying over and more.
