Not sure what kinda contract I'd offer Payton... but it wouldn't be much.

I feel like he might be entering "dare someone to beat the qualifying offer" territory.

Payton is getting there for sure although he only played 7 minutes.

It was mostly a Tatum-Jackson shootout during this interval.

It has more to do with Coach T's O-play book of let's hold the ball at the top of the key for 10 seconds, then hand it off to Bender to hand it off or dribble to the wing and hand it off.

Another thought about the hair. If he was really good the hair would be cool. Its OK to be eccentric when you are really good. Mediocre? Not so much.

They need to bring the "and one" foul call back.

Suns and Celtics down their two best players and look about the same talent wise. Goes to show the W/L difference an elite PG makes.

I question if Payton can be good with his hair hanging down over his eyes. On a side view it looks like his hair is below eye level.

There is no chance that I would think that hair is cool even if he started playing like Steph Curry.

Good to see Williams get going even if it is small steps. He has 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Steph Curry?

Uh no, you’d eat that sheet sandwich and you know it.

Ulis is looking much better than Payton.

Is that IT on the court? LOL

I don’t understand why that’s a foul. Sauce just backed up and Monroe fell because he was leaning on sauce. I hate that foul.
