    in 10 days or so, (whenever the injury's healed and he's cleared to play), is Blake our starting PG?

    Most would say of course, since it's Nate, and he's fiercely loyal to his guys. But will Bayless play well enough in the next week to take it?

    Unless Bayless average 40/5/10, Blake will still start.

    HOWEVER, If Bayless plays consistently well, he could certainly work his way into the rotation.

    Nah.. I don't think Blake loses his job either. But if Jerryd continues to play like this, he's going to force Nate to play him, which Sergio hasn't really done yet.

    I was thinking about Wally Pipp, too.

    I'm sure Blake will still be the starter. I'm not expecting Jerryd to keep playing like that at this time, but if he does it would be hard to keep him out of the rotation.
