Book is being 100% more aggressive but he's also said that KD as a decoy/gravity has opened the floor so much.

He's getting to his spots with much less friction.

That really a huge part a this

He's getting 1 on 1

He's beasting though

Booker is also probably still mad embarrassed about that Dallas series last year where they got destroyed at home in Game 7

Exactly he been on the center stage the past 2 seasons and got sonned.. none worse than when Luka did it

Booker averaged 28/4/4 in the finals. Last year he was playing with a bad hamstring the entire playoffs.

Booker basically having the best start to a postseason in NBA history
So no he has not always been this player
He's great but this is basically unprecedented scoring on elite efficiency for a guard.

Booker is past that. Mavs fans are the only people still thinking about that series because that's the only thing they got to look forward to.

Yep just like Steph got sonned in 2016 by Bron and released that he was playing on a MCL sprain after the fact

I used to think Book & Murray were on the same level.This series is shoeing that Book just has an extra gear.He's more efficient/decisive in his execution than Murray.Grown to become a much better facilitator, also.Murray dribbles the air out if the ball searching for room to get his shot off.I'm not complaining, tho.I think it's a detriment to the Nuggers offensive flow....But yeah.CP3 should be relegated to the bench from this point forward.I just wonder how he'd take it

Monty should move CP3 into a 6th man role, but I think CP3's ego won't allow it.

So I expect CP3 to be in the starting lineup again soon.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

KD was crazy this series. Gonna take him and booker going for 85 total to steal a game in Denver

Can someone direct me to the graphic that was posted earlier in this thread, where Booker had by far the largest positive impact in the playoffs so far and Jokic was #2?

You talkin about this one?

I can, MPJ has done that before and has hit it but his shot selection gets really bad when he does not touch the ball and get shots up. MPJ is a player that needs to be involved on the offensive end or he loses focus and does dumb shyt. This is why i said working him in and using plays to get him going is a must and Malone just ignores it. I was looking at a stat on nuggets Reddit that shows Murray has passed the ball to MPJ five times this game.

Fair critique of Malone’s scheme/strategy. Although the Jokic/Murray is potent and dynamic there are some flaws in that it does not allow a player like MPJ to stay engaged and that imo is why you see him chucking when he gets to touch the ball. With that said MPJ deserves some blame because there are scoring opportunities for him if he were to cut and if he were to attack the glass. He has the capability to be a problem but he disengages and also settles for the long ball. He can be doing so much more. It’s a waste the way Malone uses him and how he chooses to play. He could be an x-factor.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I hope Malone will consider giving Peyton Watson some minutes especially if Book and KD continue going off. He won’t stop them but he’ll give length and make good contests.
