I don't see how more fans don't notice Bledsoe's reluctance to pass the ball to Booker.
I guess they see the 20 5 5 he's putting up and feel like they have a underrated "All Star" player.
The way he dominates the ball, he should be averaging 10 apg.
But yeah, it makes no sense to me.Especially considering Booker is the best scorer on the team
Arguably the best young SG in the league.
You'd think a PG with even average basketball intelligence would know to look for him.
It's not like the Suns are the Golden State Warriors.
It's basically Booker & Bledsoe.If they don't have good games, the Suns have zero chance to get a W.
You'd think they'd go Contra/Double Dragon, but Bledsoe's a peculiar type of fella.
It was blatantly obvious during the 2nd Q last night.Booker only got 1 fga that whole period.
Bledsoe went out of his way to NOT find Booker.There was one particular play where Booker
had Conley pinned down in the post.In perfect position for a entry pass about 5-10 ft away from the basket.
Bledsoe was right there on the wing...perfect position to make the pass underneath to Book.
This clown decides to throw a lob pass to Tyson Chandler who had 2 fukking defenders in front of him
Off course, the pass got intercepted.
And that's why I'm
when casual fans of other teams go "How can you not like Bledsoe? HE'S BALLING!!
"They don't see the lil sublte shyt that I do.
He's a good player, but you can't be hating on your teammate because you feel threatened he might
average more points than you.I really feel like Bleds wants to be the scoring leader on the team.
I've seen him sabotage Book's hot streaks more than a few times.
At the moment, he's not as important to the future of this franchise as Book.
So if he can't learn to settle into that # 2 option role, he gotta
He's detrimental to the development of the most promising young player we've had since Amare Stoudemire.
2nd tier PG's grow on trees nowadays.He's easily replaced.Especially considering his knee issues.

Sooner or later, management's gonna have to pop that delusional bubble he's in.
But the knees might do that for them
Professor Mac
Im African not black
Can you imagine would the Cavs defense will be like if they sign Lance Stephenson for the reminder of the year...Curry has already struggled in the past to finals with turnovers but with Lance on that a$$

personally they should trade em and get something for em no reason to pay knight and him 80 and 70 mil.Sooner or later, management's gonna have to pop that delusional bubble he's in.
But the knees might do that for them
and if he has any beef or jealousy then he def needs to be gone
Ifeel for PJ tho so many teams that want him but the suns treat him like wilson chandler demanding first round picks and shyt

I've been anticipating PJ being gone for the last 2 years.
Like his defense at times, but he's another one of those low IQ guys.
That's the Suns whole problem as a team.
They close out too hard on defense....leave their feet on any/every pump fake...foul 3pt shooters..no focus..etc..etc
They have capable athletes, just don't have the smarts.They always do something dumb at the end of a play to blow it.
It's why they leads the league in fouls

All Star
they have a bunch of young guys so im not surprised about the fouls. Dont think watsun was the right coach but i havent seen enough of him to be sure.
did theye ven need to draft bender if chriss was gonna play over him completely bender and len seems like misses in the draft.

I see flashes from Bender.Low key, him and Booker have the highest IQ's on the team.
Ironically, I see Bender becoming a Ben Simmons type player.
Good vision/passer/rebounder.
I like his defense, also..........I'm giving him and Chriss a 3 year grace period.

BLEDSOE IS A BEAST .. DEVIN BOOKER IS A HOG. HE SHOOTS IT LITERALLY EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES IT. THATS WHY.

Nah...Most of that is off ISO's.
He has to work for every shot because Bledsoe/Knight/Barbosa's not setting you up for shyt.
It's every man for himself.
Booker should be getting/taking MORE shots
I'd like to see him at 20 FGA's a game.
Bledsoe is what he is.A 2nd tier PG.
Booker has the chance to be something special.
With young players, you have to keep an eye on how they develop game to game/week to week/month to month.
Booker struggled the first 4-5 weeks of the season and he did try to shoot himself out of a slump.He was playing with turf toe and a sprained ankle.Plus the Suns offense was EXTRA helter skelter to start the year.There was no semblance of an offense.It was like 5 dudes out there playing a game of 21.
Over the last month, Booker has been developing at a rapid rate.Really finding his groove.
That's when I started to see the Bledsoe hate.
Because Bled has been killing it the whole month of January putting up 25 5 5 on 44%FG 38% 3PT
But during that same time, Booker has been putting up 26 4 4 on 48% FG 47% 3pt
Just as well and even more efficient.
And the Suns offense has actually looked like there's a method to the madness out there.
It's becoming the Bledsoe & Booker show.
It's one sided, tho.
Booker sets up Bledsoe more than Bled sets him up
Now Bledsoe is like "Oh shyt, this nicca's taking my shine
"He don't wanna be 2nd fiddle no more.he thought after Dragic and Isaiah Thomas got traded
He'd be the man

BOOKER IS A VOLUME SCORER .. HE GETS THE BALL MORE THAN ENOUGH. BLEDSOE WOULD BE AS GOOD AS ANY PG IN THE LEAGUE IF HE WASNT ON SUCH A GARBO SQUAD
