    Eh... +/- is not reliable. Adjusted plus-minus isn't either.

    That's why people use statistical plus-minus now, which uses adjusted plus-minus and regresses boxscore numbers onto it. It isn't perfect but much superior.

    The only way Bayless would have improved this team is if he allowed the Blazers to perform a knee transplant with Roy.

    I didn't like Bayless when he was here. I still don't like him.

    What if he sends you an autograph?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If you want multiple mementos from Sergio, just go to one of his games. Chances are, he'll throw a couple of balls to you in the crowd, while he's playing.

    Whats up with Bayless? How did he lose his starting spot to Calderon?

    I miss JB. He had his issues, for sure, but you never questioned his heart. Sort of like Jarret Jack was. Hope he does real well in Toronto. The kid deserves it.

    Good for Jerryd.

    On a side note, does anybody actually believe he'd be able to do this in Nate's super slow system (consistently)? Maybe, but I think he really did need a change of scenery and style.

    As a PG? No. As a scoring guard? Yes. He did that just fine when the team featured him as the scoring guard when Roy was out last year, either during the season or in the playoffs.

    Bayless scores 2 points and the Raptors get the win.

    Calderon had 15 and 14...

    Bayless is one of my favourite players on the team but the issue with him is that he isn't a good facilitator, looks to shoot first. That's why i think they actually make a decent combo because Bayless can come is and provide scoring of the bench.

    I'd bet my Rick Brunson autograph is worth more than your two Sergio autographs.

    Bayless only got 15 minutes last night. I wonder if Toronto would take NO's 1st round pick for him? :)
