    I think Bayless should sub in for Roy, and play along side Sergio towards the first platoon substitution. Because we know he can score, and keep the momentum up.... at least he'll get to the foul line, b/c we are TERRIBLE at that lately.....

    Rudy usually comes in for Roy and he is just fine - if you look at Rudy's game last night - when he was the one initiating the offense instead of Sergio he was going to the rim and got 6 FT from it - instead of yet another 3 attempt which is what he gets when Sergio controls the ball.

    Personally, while I think that Bayless can help us now - what I really want to see is Sergio controlling the ball a little less and Rudy controlling the ball a little more. When this happens - we will be playing better with the 2nd unit.

    Probably not going to have Rudy Serg and Bayless all in at once eh?? Too small?

    This is what baking the cake looks like.

    Putting players in a myriad of different situations to see how they will respond, and so they can learn from experience.

    Get used to it because that's what this season is about.
