Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 Didn't see the game, Paytons stats looked good though (20 points, 12 assists), how did he play? I was concerned about him having a down game after his excellent performance against Utah. Poor first 20 minutes. Really good last 8 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnettej 263 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 If Henny ends up trading our 2017 first rounder for someone like Dragic or Bledsoe to try and salvage the season or his job, I'm going to go nuts. This team needs to be sellers and accept its tanking fate. Agreed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 Now how did he play on defense? Not good, not terrible-best out of the starters fwiw. Not his fault we were trounced by Denver's meaty front court. Nik, Serge, and particularly Gordon couldn't hang. Sure Jameer had a field day for a game he probably had circled on his calendar. Mudiay has some skills. Our team sucks this year.

Spaceman 58 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 What happened to this teams supposed strong interior defense from our free agent rim protectors? This team needs to trade Ibaka and quick because he aint coming back next year. As far as Byambo he's right where he belongs coming off the bench trying to grab a few boards, there should never be an offensive play run that involves him in any way.

Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 At least Payton is starting to play well now and showing consistency It's nice to see consistent offense, but he seems to consistently bring one or the other and can't play both offense and defense at the same time. Most of our interior defensive issues are starting on the perimeter because neither guard can stop penetration consistently. I'd kill for Victor Oladipo back.
