    Is he hurt or just being held out (i.e., part of a deal?)

    Gramps...

    Officially, the PG rotation is back to normal, ie Blake starting, Sergio backup, Bayless glaring at everything from the bench.

    I noticed this too. It has me wondering what is going on. If I remember correctly though didn't Bayless get 2nd half minutes before Blake went down with his shoulder injury? If Bayless doesn't get 2nd half minutes over Sergio then you could assume he is being discussed in a deal.

    Interesting speculation.

    I had assumed it was because Blake is back and Sergio is ahead of Bayless in the rotation at the PG spot.

    We'll see if JB gets in in the second half...

    Well, NO will need a PG to replace Paul.

    neither.

    it appears that with blake back sergio has been moved to the backup pg spot and bayless is back on the bench.

    I sure hope we trade Sergio tomorrow just so Bayless can get some PT.

    I think you can assume that Sergio and Outlaw are both being discussed in a deal(s), but they're both playing. My guess is, Nate still isn't sure who he'll have after the deadline so he took the easy choice regarding the PG rotation; back to how it was before Blake's injury. In the likely event that there's a trade that clears up the logjam, problem solved.

    Nate said that the PG rotation would go back to normal.


    Bayless has become Playless once again. It's a Nate thing, not a trade thing

    I dont like this. Bayless should be in front of Sergio in the rotation.

    I don't think Sergio played well at all.

    He did have good numbers but the 2nd unit played terrible and it wasn't all his fault but he didn't help. I guess he played ok but I wouldn't say good.

    Disagree. They played bad the first few minutes. (Wasn't his fault) Then they extended the lead to 10. He wasn't awesome, but he played well.

    As far as Sergio's typical level of play is concerned I would say he played well.

    I'm wondering why Travis has only 4 minutes. That's more surprising to me.

    I think the boxscore is messed up. He played a normal amount of minutes tonight, I think.
