How many do you usually have?
Since we have been bad magic threads can get around 12. When we had Dwight we would have 50 pagers.

A lot of times 3-4 and then more commentary over the next few days would push it to 6

One of our players is playing like MVP and they're still up 17.

and the number 5-7 over no PG and 3-5 pick.

This is Elf Lord Payton but I think he honestly would prefer to have 12 points and 10 assists right now rather than 3 and 20.

Booker will help him out at that. I really had no idea about this guy. I know it’s only two games but he can play. I really thought he’d suck. He plays so under control and relaxed.

at least for the Phx/ORL game on March 24

I really think we need a shot blocking center waiting behind to turn our defense around.

You could say that about a lot of our team...particularly Booker and Daniels.

If Elf keeps this up, who do you guys like in the draft?

He really wasn't a problem for us. He was just a lightning rod for criticism. He's capable of doing this every night, but he doesn't. He can get to the basket anytime he wants to, but his confidence will wane if he makes a couple mistakes. He won't trust his shot if he misses a couple in a row.

The number of us that have started watching Suns games and that are showing up in your game threads should speak volumes about how much we think of Elfrid, but for every one of us that defended him to the last, it seemed as though there were several people that would blame Payton for anything that went wrong.

You guys got a quality PG for next to nothing.

I hope he keeps up the great play to the point the Suns won't feel a need to go PG in the draft ...you guys go Trae and we look for other spots in the draft.

Curious: What would be your reaction if he cuts his mop soon...goes main stream hairdo in the next month?

Suns are actually not playing badly....its just these 3 guys cant get anything to go in.

JudBuchler · Post #193 » by **JudBuchler** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 4:55 am

Curry can't check Elf

If it wasnt for Payton this is another game we would be down 100 to 50...

True, its just that they got enough shots, enough rebounds, not too too many bad turnovers,

that if those guys just shot 35% they would be down like 2 or 4 points.

It's pretty damned difficult to give up a fast break layup to big after a made free throw.

We are so lazy! Payton is the only one playing basketball...

So would Payton be getting a triple double if Warren/Jackson could hit shots? Wondering since I am only looking at the scoreboard.
