Makes sense to keep out Payne. Get a few days to rest and let Payton debut. I think he'll do really well tonight

Great...Payne out is bad but that's what Shamet is for...that 3rd ball handler, or we may have to resort to Payton.

Anyone heard how many triple doubles Payton's had in his career yet though?

I hope these have as much impact as SunsRBack4Good's did in last night's game after not having any for the first game.

I'd be interested in seeing Point Sham, but probably a like for like with Payton.

Pretty sure it's more than anyone else playing in the game tonight.

can tell how we'll go early on depending on our intensity, not playing with force, portland getting easier shots right now, bookers jumper keeping us in it.

Lucky to only be down 6. Very ugly start. Super sloppy

This might be a Jalen Smith game.
Mcgee is useless tonight, try something different
