    It was CJ against the Jazz, now it’s Dame Time. Watch out Suns, Dame about to drop 40 on your team

    How many young mediocre point guards have the Suns featured in the last 5 years?

    We now have the opportunity to darken this team and pancake Elfrid Payton's hair.
    NO Letdowns! We should play the same good D and score in the fourth when opportunity strikes. 200wJHOQ1VPRColbert loses it.gif

    Smothering D on Booker and continual insults on Payton's hair is the key.

    After last night's tremendous win, tonight is a MUST win as to not undo the gain from last night. Thunder play the Warriors tonight....a chance to gain a game.

    I count 14 wins, and that's being conservative

    Elfrid Payton is a quality PG who can get hot at anytime. I feel Orlando is one of the most short-sighted teams in the League. They were ready to unload Vucevic last year. They just don't get it. The Suns have a franchise talent in Booker, two fine young talents in Payton, and Warren, and a high potential, but raw SF in Jackson. The Blazers will need to bring a workman like performance, and get the job done. I feel confident, but these kind of games are always scary because of letdown after a huge victory in UTAH. Dame though is one of, if not the most, focused and driven dude in the league. Go Blazers!!

    I nicknamed Payton, "Chef Fro Ardee" because of his hair in the past. Now he has the "California Quail" hairdo.

    I think Elfrid Payton was the lead singer for "Flock Of Jive Turkeys".

    Talking about Elfrid's hair reminds of this not to long ago.

    I've seen another video that shows his hair touching the ball on a lot of his short FTs attempt... Man if I was his coach I would be so mad and tell him everyday to cut that shit. You can have whatever haircut you want, but not if it impedes your playing ability
