Where did I say that Booker didn't miss any games? I was responding to a post where 50 tiger made it sound Booker missed the entire series. Where did I say that he didn't play at all? I didn't, I was asking how many games he played to make a point that not only did Booker play, he played well.

Ok

but why you go back to r/relationshipadvice and let the adults argue here please.
The adult, who didn't know Booker missed games, and instead of admitting, is making himself look worse by pretending he knew all along. "Adults"

I bet he doesnt know either Book was on a heater in game 2 and got injured in the early third quarter

Playing it off now as he knew all along is hilarious. He's very salty now, it happens.

other than the five years of great play
I'm sorry, what?


We're running fast and loose with what is "great now?


Even the biggest Brandon Ingram fan in the world should be able to understand that he has not been "great" in the last 5 years. Great players are great. BI is not a great player.

Great players aren't questioned on whether they deserve a max. Everyone knows they do.

Wait, you're saying you DID watch the series and still didn't realize Booker missed over half the series? Oh my


Booker played in three games and missed three games. Half the series.

He left game 2 due to injury playing only 24 minutes, so less than half.


He also played 38% of the minutes in the series. Healthy would have been 75% or more, so...

I can't help if you're not good at reading. I never once said that Booker played the entire series. I was only pointing out that Booker played and 50 Tiger was making it seem like he didn't play. Hopefully your relationship advise is better than your reading skills. It's cute that an adult single man who probably hasn't seen a naked women since Obama was president spends a lot of free time giving relationship advise though.

The point of me bringing up the Suns series is that we have a thread here that implies Ingram only plays well against crappy teams, and it’s simply a bad take. He, like the entire Pels team, has been bad in late game situations pretty much the entire year. But he’s also played well in several games against good teams. And he played very well in the playoff series against the Suns, which are the biggest games he’s ever been involved in. If you want to take away from his play that Booker didn’t play the entire series, then do it. You’ve shown you have a clear disdain for BI so it’s not surprising.

I post facts and back up ant opinions with data. You'll never find me saying something so out there that it can't be backed up.


You post shite like saying Booker only missed 1 game in the series to try and prop up BI.


I've never said one totally outlandish thing about BI. In fact, more and more posters every week are starting to agree with what I've said for over a year now.

You seem too emotional to have a rational discussion about BI if you think that, to be honest. Like you can't possibly believe someone doesn't gush over BI as much as you do, so they must be wrong and have some agenda against him. I speak to shite and give facts to back it up, you're just being emotional right now.

It is what it is.

Have you considered getting IRL friends instead of only having internet friends? You seem like you spend literally all of your time on various message boards and you're extremely quick to white night for your internet "friends". Maybe it's time to touch some grass and see what the real world is like?

Also I'm reading over your relationship advice on Reddit. Pretty obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.

The team has put the ball in his hands primarily to close close games. We are 1-6 in those games THIS season. That will fall on him. That is the way he and the team wants it. He and Willie have to take the responsibility for that.

But again, I place this more on the organization than BI. I like BI. He is a good NBA player that is capable of nights like last night. My issue is that the team has put him in a position to be the best player. The offense is catered to him and his playing style, set plays are run to him, and he has the ball in crunch time. I, along with many others who follow this team, disagree with this approach being the best for the long term success of this team.

I'm sure I could have worded it better, but I'm still searching for answers, which is why I asked a question. I didn't ask why BI sucks against good teams, I asked how we could get him to play better, because I think he can do what we saw last night more often, and I personally would like him to do that. How that is hating on BI, I'm not quite sure.

And for all of you guys not happy with "negative" threads after a win, nobody is stopping you from starting a thread being positive. You want more positive talk, make more positive talk instead of adding to the negativity by bitching about negative talk.
