How can Payton get assists when the other players can't make shots.

The game is getting ugly with the Suns trailing by 29 points.

Jackson continually trying to make a layup is getting frustrating not that Chriss and Bender are doing better.

The Warriors defend the rim so well it's hard to get much inside but the Suns keep trying.

Well... watching them vs the Warriors might not have been the best chance to see a competitive game.

The Warriors block almost every shot going to the rim except Payton who drives with impunity. He makes it look easy.

Payton goes to the bench with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He has 4 turnovers but he has not had much to work with.

Eddie Johnson says Payton has not cut his hair since middle school although he reportedly plans to get a trim.

Iguodala is two years older than Dudley and their bodies look 20 years apart.

Dudley gives hope to every man who plays basketball on the playground. :wink2:

And yet, I’m the crazy one who dares questioning our current GM getting a chance to make massive franchise altering decisions this offseason.

Another interesting tidbit should be this was the second game in a week were our opponents head coach thought we were such a joke, that he wouldn’t even coach the whole game.

I'll admit, I thought that having a legitimate point guard would cut down on the 50-point losses.

Okay, the Suns core is Payton, Booker and Warren when he can get it going.

The Suns hope rests with Jackson, Warren and maybe Chriss.

Just because a guy was putting up okay numbers doesn’t make him a legit PG.

Theres prob a reason Payton was just given away.

His teammates have to make their shots for him to get assists. OK, let's say that they have to build chemistry. Then we can judge.

Chriss has regressed to G-League material. He is not NBA quality right now.
