I asked Devin Booker about ignoring overreactions to Game 1 in series, and he brought up last year’s 0-1 start against the Clippers:

From Devin Booker’s struggles, to getting crushed on the boards, to stagnant offense, the Suns got rocked by the Timberwolves in Game 1. I took a look at 10 different areas where they struggled, and which ones they can improve in Game 2: bit.ly/3W3KRS1 – 12:03 PM

Duane Rankin: “Tough balance too where I’m trying to find, too, where guys are being physical with me and the moment I’m physical with them, I’m in foul trouble and I’m on the bench.” Devin Booker on 2nd, 3rd PFs GM1. Got 3 in 2nd Q. Thought clean steal on 2nd, call changed to him 3rd. #Suns pic.twitter.com/JYiJClxnan -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / April 22, 2024
Duane Rankin: “Takes a collective group. Special players take more than just who is just guarding to defend him. It takes the team behind him and building a shell behind him to where it gives you confidence to be able to pressure the ball.” Devin Booker on defending Anthony Edwards. #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / April 22, 2024
Duane Rankin: “We should stick with what we were doing in the regular season. If he makes a few tough shots, don’t panic to where you have to go double him and now the rest of the team is in rotation.” Devin Booker on Anthony Edwards, who scored 33 in Game 1 vs. #Suns. tinyurl.com/va3835fb pic.twitter.com/6mVyyFgZnO -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / April 22, 2024
