    Btw, OKC winning by 10. The only thing that would balance out this loss is if Utah loses to OKC.:biglaugh:

    OKC seems to always give up any lead that they may have. I don't expect tonight to be any different. But I guess anything's possible.

    Sergio was 0-2 and had 2 of our 13 assists, 4 rbs, in 14 mins.

    Bayless 1-11 (got blocked 3 times) 0 assists, 2 rbs, in 25 mins.

    Both had bad games, as did the whole team, but it's still obvious Bayless is a SG and not anything resembling a PG.

    I still don't get why Bayless fans can't root for him without trying to prove he's a "PG"?

    He can be a good SG for us. Why attack Sergio and make shit up?

    Bayless will be a Blazer or he won't be. Sergio's success will not impact Bayless one way or another, because he's not ever going to be a PG in this league, and Sergio is never going to be a SG in this league.

    Apples and Oranges.

    Brunson played for the 36ers right before he played for the Blazers.

    Apparently no-one here liked him. Allegedly had a very bad attitude from what I've heard.

    Sergio's play of late actually makes me want Jarrett Jack back.

    Sad isn't it.

    But seriously, there's no denying Jack is a better player than Sergio. Not that that's saying much, but it is what it is.

    I expect Bayless to struggle. He's a rookie. The main reason he's even seeing the floor is because Sergio is playing so poorly.

    Obviously KP and Nate disagree with you on that, as they jumped through hoops all last year to get rid of him, and promptly re-signed Sergio.

    Actually, he's getting Channing's minutes. You haven't noticed all the smallball?

    re-signed sergio? he is on a rookie contract, they exercised his team option, which would be stupid not to, since it's ridiculously cheap.

    You think Nate didn't love Jarrett Jack?

    Bayless is getting minutes because the Blazers are grooming him so they can shit-can Sergio. It's that simple. Sergio has no place on this team.

    Cheap?

    Wow, you must be really rich.

    Fact is, they've had him 2 years and decided they don't want JJ and would rather keep Sergio as they see him as a big part of their future.

    So you're saying KP is a liar, or he's a moron.

    Maybe it's just you don't understand basketball.

    That seems more likely.
