No question in my mind, Payton lost the locker room early on and couldn't keep order. A lot of people here laughed in preseason at Jimmy Graham's dunks and penalties, openly flaunting and defying Payton,and they said it wasn't a big deal. But I'm telling you, it sent a message early in the year to the younger guys, hey, you don't have to listen to coach, it's okay to be spoiled and just do whatever you want....once that set the tone, nobody listened to anything else the coaches had to say. If a bigshot star like Jimmy doesn't listen to the coach, and openly defies him, why should I listen to coach either? I'll just get drunk or high or miss film study or show up to the meeting when I'm good and ready, whenever I get around to it..
