Back to back. Starters looked gassed, which usually means more mental mistakes. Burks was aggressive, his first game back. If he wasnt shaking off the rust, might have been closer.
Not saying Payton is the answer at PG. Still gets too much criticism. He's a two way player. With Randle, RJ, bringing up the ball, setting up the offense at times. Gives Payton the opportunity to play off the ball more, and put pressure on the D.
We've had so many PGs who have come through here who were good, but one dimensional. They would never drive. Payton plays D and attacks the rim. You rarely get a complete player in a stopgap PG. Glad what Payton brings to the table, considering his likely not starting next season.
Obi looks more like Amar'e every game. Moves in the same constricted way. Obi can also shoot the 3, and pass. Showing some D as well.
We got Obi and Quickley, when it would have been likely just Halliburton, if we drafted him. Showing he was a good pick, but I have no complaints about our "haul".
