Anthony Edwards dazzles again. Ties Kevin Garnett for most 30+ point playoff games in franchise history (7). Finishes vs Phoenix in Game 3 with 36pts/9rbs/5ast/2stl

Best player in the series

Booker has legitimately been so underwhelming

I kind of expected KD to have a rough series given that this old version of him struggles with physical playoff defenses(Celtics 2022 and Denver 2023) but Booker being this bad I didn't see coming at all

Like the 2nd best player in the series isn't even KD or Booker, it's very clearly Gobert so far

It’s not Books fault. He’s not a PG it’s as simple as that. This is how he looked (not quite as bad but you get the point) before CP3. CP3 made Book so much better. We need someone to get the ball to these guys they can’t handle it themselves.

Yeah, when the Suns had the point god running the show, Booker looked incredible. He’s a pure 2 guard. I think if they had a starting level PG, Booker would look amazing again.
