Elfrid Payton

[zephyr]

Well, the name of the thread isn't "Pelicans trade talk" or "Pelicans would be better with _____. I don't follow the NBA, Pelicans or otherwise. No one had said anything about him after the game that I could see. Maybe I missed it. I kept checking thread to see a comment on how he did. I'll just check Google next time. Thanks.

He's played one game since coming back. He will take more time to get his legs under him and play more minutes. I don't know how much more there was to discuss him since he's been gone for so long. I don't see where talking about the team was a threadjack but oh well.

He’s still not 100% with the break. His fingers were taped together. He had at least one turnover due to that. Probably going to be another month before he’s doing everything he can as well as he normally does.

Players tape fingers and wrap ankles for every game regardless of whether they are injured or not.

Well that’s something that the announcers said. They’re pretty knowledgeable. But I’m sure you know best.

Elf scored 25 and had 7 dimes. Pels still lost.

And the game was really not that close. We were down 20 for a good chunk of the second half.

Continuity

As a team you rarely pick up where you left off.

They need Mirotic back in a bad way

Need a damn bench. All 5 starters were plus in the +/-, all bench guys were minus. Tim Frazier was an amazing -21 in 9 minutes!!

Elfrid played a very good game though.

They need to play defense including the superstar Davis.

I think Davis's defense is very overrated. He gets credit for being a good defensive player when he comes from the backside to block shots. He gets beat off the dribble quite often off of switches and when a guy goes at him one on one in the post they often score. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player. It is just that this aspect of his game needs to improve.
