The Cam Payne turnaround has probably been one of my fave stories. Dude generally went from novelty to act to genuine back up G in one of the best teams of the league.

Good on him

Another case where he showed flashes but was given up on.

GS Warriors 1 wrote:I don't get the infatuation with Kidd. Portland was said to be initially interested early in the process, then there seemed to be backlash with local media and fans about his name being mentioned, due to his past. Apparently, withdrew his name. Both terms with Milwaukee and Brooklyn did not end well. We'll see how this goes, but it is a risky hire, especially when a player on your roster is one of the best players in the league.

I like the hire of new blood into the HC ranks. Ime Udoka is exactly that with Boston. He's been on HC watch-lists for a while now, since he was an assistant with the Spurs, so it's good that he's getting an opportunity.

9 years as a coach for 3 different teams is not a lot of experience for a typical head coach hire. I like new names getting a chance too.

I still want the Warriors to try to bring in Shaka Smart as DC and assistant HC.

How is Alice Cooper even alive let alone doing half time at Phoenix

Watching the Clippers-Suns game tonight, my wife (unprompted) says “I really don’t want the Clippers to win…… but I don’t want Chris Paul to win either.”

I have never felt such pride.

Clean and sober and takes care of himself. The real question is how is Keith Richards still alive.

I never hope for anyone to get hurt. That being said, it’s so much more fun rooting for Atl without Young.

That looked....awful...omg. I'm also cheering for Atlanta...but dang...that was awful.

He's got to be out for the rest of the series....

This year has been so fricken weird. Trae out....looks like Bucks are in the finals...next game...Trae doesn't play. Bucks come out asleep and then Giannis injured...now it looks like Atlanta is in.

He was lost long ago. I do wonder what CP3 said to him though.

Finally I can stop caring about who winds up in the Finals. I may not like CP3, but the rest of his team make up for that and I won't mind if they win it.

That said, I sure hope Giannis can play if the Bucks reach.

Personally, I think he's more of a Bifur or Bofur.

I'd be okay with the Suns, but I prefer the Hawks because of the Warriors connection and because CP3 ... F that guy.

I understand that sentiment. OTOH, I don’t want the Suns hungry next year. I want them fat and happy, so the CP3 magic personality can have full effect.

I'm not sure fully logical CPH can justify more than the one game suspension he got for that. But it was just such a punk move I would have loved to see more than that.

Nico please hit the tanning booth. I beg of you. Even if it’s just spray tan. You can’t keep playing for the Warriors until you take care of that. Biedrins knew what was up!

Us gingers aren't allowed within 22 feet of tanning salons for very good reason

I think Nico is getting whiter. He’s sort of turning a pale blue
