    Violet Palmer was about to call the block. She is terrible.

    This is our best defensive team with both Bayless and Batum in.

    One? the guy consistently turned it over and cant run the fast break to save his life.

    however, he's going to become a good player eventually, specially because of the playing time that he's getting now.

    And to be fair, Jack made the steal to begin with.

    The comeback started RIGHT when we but Bayless in the game for no-defense Blake.

    It wasn't that Jack made mistake - he made at least two BRAIN DEAD plays every freakin' night! He blew more fastbreaks by himself than we've blown all season without him.

    Oh, and this comeback has been on nothing but shots in the paint. Perhaps we realized it's easier to shoot in there.

    It's funny, Bayless and Batum are two of our best perimeter defenders as rookies.

    He ran lots of good fastbreaks for us last season.

    The whole "he can't run a fastbreak" thing was a myth last season that pissed me off. Like the guy who said LMA hasn't scored inside tonight! Ridiculous!

    I know Bigballies and others don't think so but we need Bayless/Roy/LMA/Outlaw and Batum in there when Joel is out of the game. Hell with Sergio and even Blake. If we are going to win in the playoffs we need good D and Batum and Bayless need to be in the game.

    Bayless came in at the beginning of that 9-0 run in the first half, as well.

    Just think once the have been in the league a couple years they should be great defenders.

    I like Rudy but not sure I would want to take Batum out right now.
