Elfrid Payton

[DocCajun]

Had several great drives to the rim. And he's hustling on D

Announcer on radio said he is definitely "a Pest" on defense. He said that Payton's offense has not caught up to his D but he will be able to play Defense in the NBA immediately.

Brought my mom to the doc this morning for what I thought would be a routine exam. I should of expected nothing is routine when your parents get up in age. He sent us to the ER for some dialysis but ER doc runs his own test and 8 hours later we still waiting for a regular room. Good thing I recorded the game. Had a feeling I wasn't going to make it. To bad I didn't have enough time to give it to someone to use.

Sorry to hear it, buddy. Hope your Mom mends quickly.

NEW ORLEANS – He was making his NBA debut, just across the Mississippi River from his hometown of Gretna, wearing the uniform of the visiting Orlando Magic.

Jitters?

Not from former University of Louisiana point guard Elfrid Payton. Not in the least.

I thought EP did awesome tonight, considering he's playing a couple of the best defenders in the NBA.

He needs to make better decisions when he drives. go up hard or kick it out.

With that said, his teammates don't do a lot to get open, either. They really sucked without him. It showed when he went to the bench late in the 3rd quarter. Game was 5 points. Anderson bang, bang, bang from 3 and the game is over.

No perimeter D when Elfrid sits. When Olidepo comes back, Elfrid's going to have double doubles almost every night.

He has a chance to have an amazing career. He played 30 minutes tonight. Would've played more if not for foul trouble and the fact that the game was out of hand.

Orlando better find a way to play when he's on the bench, because that's a whole different team when he's not out there.

This is Elfrid's team to run. He's earned it.

I went to the game and thought Elfrid Payton played very well. Anthony Davis is a stud. With that being said, this is supposed to be the best basketball in the world?! I know these guys are the best at what they do, but I've seen better team basketball at a biddy bball game in Edgar Martin's gym. My buddy and I were talking about how we could collect 7 figures to miss shots and stand around when we didn't have the ball.

Yeah Tobias Harris with the magic is a very selfish player 8 times out of 10 when he gets the ball he doesn't pass it!

Well it's not exactly San Antonio vs. Miami

I understand that. It is obvious why SA continues to win championships. My point is that even the worst NBA teams consist of the top couple hundred players in the world and they don't even run an offense or play defense.

[CrazyCajun]

It's the first of 82 games, that's why I don't watch until towards the end and the playoffs.
