Why does Elfrid Payton play over Holiday?

Just going to post that.
Payton can't shoot. Seriously, he has no touch ... his first free throws banged off the backboard.

Just turned the game off. Pointless. Maybe they'll come back.

The Cams and Shamet are 4-21.
I wasn't expecting a win, but good God, at least show some chutzpah ...

I don’t understand why not play Holiday. He exhibits way more talent. Also, I hate these offensive sets by our starting bench unit. Maybe Monty is intentionally not running Bridges and Cam plays to their strengths. They’re still like 3rd options. Bring on the playoffs.

P.S. anyone think Kawhi comes back for the playoffs? They would be a tough matchup for first round.

Embarrassing.

9 points in the second quarter.

Payne 1/6
Shamet 1/8
Payton 1/7
Johnson 2/7
Craig 1/4

The claim that the Suns has the deepest bench in the league hasn't been holding water recently ...

Well if this was one of the main objectives tonight
Yikes....



FF said it, Cam P was so clinical running the offense and now seems just out of it. Missing shots fine but the decision making isn't what he displayed when he was starting

Cam J looks to still be coughing up a lung every few minutes, guess he'll get it together eventually as painful as it is to watch at present. Y'all know I not gonna panic on my boy tho

Haven’t been watching, but clippers might be the best team at taking you out of your offense in the nba if they want to. That plus us not really playing any of our guys is a recipe for disaster…and a disaster it’s been

I really hope they don't play Mikal any more tonight.

This team has just mentality checked out. It is what it is. Not too worried about in the big picture but my slight worry is more about starting the playoffs out of rhythm and giving up games. Instead of a 4-5 games series, it ends up being a 6 game series or at worst, a 7 game series(Very unlikely, tbh).

Having said all that, I think this Suns team beats this clippers team in 5 games. I want all that smoke. Not really worried about any of the potential first round match ups if I’m being honest. I feel like our only real threat in the west is GSW.

Not sure what the Elf situation isn't and I'm not coming with any breaking news but Holiday should always play before him
You guys were talking about who the last roster spot would be between and I can't remember if it's between those two and Ish but I find Ish to be solid in limited minutes
Even if he's just a body to put on a star player for a short stint because dude plays good D and is obviously strong

Yes I'm still watching
Extended run for Iffe, starting the 4th

Still watching too. Nothing better to do.

Good to see us fighting back…I didn’t watch the 1st half so I missed the bad part haha…we’ve looked ok in what I’ve watched

Well Ish here making my claim that he's been solid in his minutes look pretty good
Out here calmly knocking down his 3pters to add to his defensive contribution

Ya Ish looks good and is a +21 in a game we’re down 19. That’s hard to do

I think it makes more sense to put Ish on the playoff roster, but would we cut Payton to do that?

Want to see Iffe get to be the primary ball handler some more though

Lol
He's gotten called for two touch fouls
EuroLeague is much more physical so he would have to adjust
