Life, friends, is boring

He has a ridiculous haircut, a funny face, and seems to be bad at basketball, too. What am I missing about Payne? Every time I see him play, he's horrible and overmatched.

edit:

Westbrook's MVP photo can go up next to Dirk's I guess.

Lebron is just mean.

He dances really well. And depending on how much you like conspiracy theories.

Iowa State assistant coach, who's name I don't remember, who is also on the Tim Floyd coaching tree, who recruited him to Murray State, who is also on the Tim Floyd coaching tree that Gar and everyone else in this loving organization is connected to.

Payne genuinely looked like he was going to be a very good offensive player last year. His shot was smooth, vision was solid, and his pace to the game was unique. Then he broke foot and is bad now

Ahhh my fuckin precious money

Fun fact: Both Cameron Payne and Isaiah Canaan went to Murray State. PGU!

MCW needs to be on the floor with Mirotic so Mirotic can run the offense, and MCW can cut to the basket and rebound. Jerian Grant should start

Play Denzel Valentine and MCW at the same time, Denzel runs the offense and MCW covers wings and they help aggressively? I dont know

But i'm watching a replay of spurs grizz and it's wonderful to see the player I personally coached into the NBA blowing the Spurs up, off the bench. He's Jae Crowder in Draymond Green's body. He's the working class man's versatile tough forward. He's JaMychal Green

I taught him how to scorpion dribble, how to malya step, how to turn a leaf to the left slide jump hook in the post, taught him the shipworm stick chest out on defense, gave him rusty metal shoes to learn to rebound against bigs who could hop higher.
Wayne Selden wasn't me, he was coached by Bill Self at kansas university.

This kind of investigation into who's voted how (and the fact that people will always seek it out) only further reaffirms to my mind that delaying all the awards announcements until weeks after the finals have ended is a mistake. The spirit of the idea is right (build up suspense and drama! have everyone tune in and find out at once!), but it's undermined by tabulating votes ahead of time and spoiling the winners, not to mention the fact that the momentum of the season will be totally over by then anyways.

What I CAN see happening is Bogdonovic handling the ball. Word has it that the Kings are so impressed with his handles, that unless a massive name drops to them, they may not draft a point guard at all, re-signing one or both of Darren Collison and Ty Lawson, while also allowing Bogdonovic to handle the ball quite a bit as well.

hahah we are going to pass on a PG again in the draft fantastic
