Payton does a lot of good things, but let's be real, he's been making a lot of bad decisions this season thus far. That's a BIG problem. He's looking for his shot in traffic when he's surrounded by defenders, and he's the worst scorer on the team. Not smart basketball. I'm the Lakers game he had several misses and turnovers in the paint during the last 5 minutes. Vuc and Napier bailed him out. The problem is Payton's decision making is regressing, at least early this season. I could care less if he ever increases his scoring average.

That's an overreaction to one game. The previous 2 games he was taking it to the rim and finishing/getting fouled. And he didn't have several misses and TO's in the last 5 minutes. He actually made several important plays finding open men down the stretch.
