Warriors Battle Back to Beat Bucks
And the Suns could only muster 37 points combined, which was nine less than the Warriors had in the third quarter alone. Golden State , the NBA’s best team, is out for revenge. ” Just respect my teammate, as well as we respect you guys”.
Payton signed a contract extension with the Saints in 2013 that carries through the 2017 season and pays him $8 million each year, which would entitle New Orleans to compensation in exchange for Payton if he chose to sign with another team.

Doc Rivers Remarks On Kobe Bryant Leading NBA All-Star Game Voting
James, who is in his 13th pro season, is seeking his 12th consecutive start in an All-Star Game, which is virtually guaranteed. It does make for a odd scene, Bryant laughing and enjoying himself even as the Lakers lose by 35 points.
As for Payton, Saints executives said “never say never” regarding the likelihood that the Super Bowl winning coach could move on to another team. Plantar Fascia foot pain, or not, he’s still one of the more formidable arm slingers to fear in the game today. The guy knows how to make big plays, which will cause some stress for a New Orleans defense that has made a habit of allowing too many.
At this point in the season, the Saints focus isn’t on winning, which means that players with potentially uncertain futures become the focus, and this can be said for backup running backs Hightower and C.J.
I like the Jaguars in an upset this week because I don’t think playing with a foot injury as severe as Brees’ is going to end in success. Blake Bortles had another solid performance, finishing with 297 passing yards and 1 touchdown, however, he threw a costly interception, which negated a possible late score, and any potential Jaguars momentum before entering the locker room at halftime. It’s nearly impossible to know what is going to happen in this game given the uncertainty of everything surrounding the Saints this week.
Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said he will prepare for all three quarterbacks, including veteran Matt Flynn. Every time his team loses, and his seat gets a little hotter, a rumor or report comes out that the Dolphins or Saints or some other National Football League job would be wide open for him, implying that maybe the Saints shouldn’t be so quick to kick him out the door. “Throughout your first year as a rookie, the talent’s there, but a lot of times the system is new”. “Very proud of his accomplishments”.
