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'mwhen 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.
yeah I think he & Knight feel threatened by Booker cuz everyone knows he got next. I've always liked his skill set but his jealousy/insecurity makes me not fukk with him like that. they both need to be on other teams

merchant of death
i wouldve been pissed if he shot silly string in my damn beer too. shyt probably cost him $10

Pass me the rock nikka
Cavs are NOT coasting. The Raptors and Celtics are not "sorry" they are good teams.You seriously can't believe this nonsense. LeBron alone damn near swept his way to the finals in that godawful conference
Cavs are coasting. Plain and simple. When the sorry ass Raptors and Celtics are ur biggest threats, you can afford too
In over 800 minutes of playing time this season, Shabazz Muhammad has 17 assists.
You do know assists coincide with your role on offense. Bazz is just a spot up shooter on the Wolves. Its unlikely he will get assists since he doesn't handle the ball or run the offense. He's just a spacer.

Nah Bledsoe's the volume scoring combo guard with limited vision and poor passing skills.
We don't really know what Booker is yet.He's playing for a poor coach, in a poor offensive system,
backed behind a poor organization.
Sharing the backcourt with 2 guards who like to over-dribble and chuck.
Being asked to create his own offense out of ISO's at an elite rate.
That 72% unassisted rate oughta tell you something.
The offense is clunky as fukk.If Eric Bledsoe & Brandon Knight are your
backcourt mates, you better shoot it mostly every time you touch the ball, because they damn sure will.
And that's the problem with the so called vets on this team.
You gotta watch the games to see it.
I know Laker fans don't really have a lot of love for Booker, tho.
Some folks always try to use Booker to shyt on D'lo....Book's already a Lakers menace
amongst SOME Laker fans.

Makes sense.Already got the Kentucky backcourt with Booker & Bledsoe
Is Alex Len, TJ Warren, and a potential top 3 pick enough, tho?
Don't know why the Kings would jump at that
Unless the Suns include those future Miami picks
I LIKE BOOKER, HES ON MY FANTASY TEAM .. BUT BLEDSOE IS A BEAST AND HES A GOOD PASSER TOO. I HAVE LEAGUE PASS, THE SUNS OFFENSE IS WHACK. BLEDSOE AND BOOKER IN A BETTER SYSTEM WOULD WORK TOGEHER LIKE A CHARM.
The pick wouldn't be top 3 if Cousins is traded there
They'd have to give up Chriss, Bender & Len + their pick.

From my observations, Bledsoe is a poor passer.
Especially when the game is tight and the pressure goes up.
His first impulse is to score.Has a bad habit of leaving his feet and trying to
pass the ball last second.Leads to turnovers.
Booker has a habit of forcing shots because nobody gets him involved.
Just watch him out there.He's frustrated the whole game.
The Suns are selfish and clicked up IMO.
I can tell who's cool with each other just from watching the games.
Bledsoe feels more comfortable with Tyson Chandler and PJ Tucker.
He'll contort his whole body in order to get the ball to PJ Tucker for a corner 3.
Whereas Book will be standing right next to him, wide open, and he'd rather force it inside to Tyson Chandler
for a low percentage lay up attempt.
As of right now, Devin Booker is the whole franchise.His potential IS the HOPE.Bled's just another dime a dozen, volume scoring PG.
Him and Book should be out there like
Taking turns every other possession.
There's nothing else behind them.It's a throwaway season.
But Bled's wanna treat Booker like the 13th man, tho.
Got his youngin out there scavenging.Bleds is just a funny style guy to me
Don't try to school me. It's a ridiculous stat for a wing player. Bazz isn't just a spot up shooter either.

Bet all my coli cash on them getting the over. Wiz offense capable of putting up 120. Itll be a shoot out

Player passing and vision the hardest thing to change. I still get a laugh when I see Nick young get 2 assists or more in a game. Thought Kelly oubre would go down that route but he's playing team ball. Yeah bazz should move the ball as well
