    As long as "Jackhammer" isn't you know, getting behind you then it's all good. I suppose if you live in Massachusettes or Hawaii it's all good regardless!

    He has really looked good this year (when he played).

    He seems perfectly fine running the point, to be honest. His offensive game in general looks "on" right now. His defense isn't great, but its better than our other 2 PGs, I think.

    I would like to see him in the regular rotation, but when healthy, we have 12 people vying for (what should be) a 9-man rotation (I counted Howard and Cunningham as one person).

    I really think over the course of the season, Blake will be squeezed out of the regular rotation and Bayless and Rudy will take those minutes. It will take some time, but I just think that with Blake's time with the Blazers likely coming to an end, and the growth of Bayless and Rudy, it will just make sense.

    I have a funny Bayless story. At the game last night, before the 3rd quarter when players are shooting around . . . Bayless went up to a Minny assistant coach and starting talking and laughing with him. Joel comes up and in a very animated (and joking) manner, pulled Bayless away from the assistant coach and directed Bayless towards the Blazer bench. He then said a couple of words to the assistant coach and waved his finger no. Then looked over at Bayless from the corner of his eyes (Bayless was already heading to the Blazer benchand didn't care).

    Also I have noticed that at the three games I have been to, Bayless has approached the vistor's bench and had a discussion with either the coach or assitant coach. He had a pretty long discussion (relative to other players) with the Atlanta coach . . . I think he knows him well.

    Well I know that was going on with the whole Joel thing last night. In a joking way, but it was clear what Joel thought was going on and tried to break it up.

    I would also note that Rambis got very chatty with Rudy . . . those 2 must have had some prior dealings.

    I felt bad for Rambis . . . he looked confounded and a couple of times just chuckeld at the results. I think he looks at that Blazer roster and thought how most of the 2nd unit would be starting for him (that Minny roster is pathetic). Rambis is not a yeller of a coach . . . I wondr how long he can keep up his coaching style with that team.

    I got a smile out of Rambis when he was complaining (he even complains mildly) about a non-call and I yelled taht he can't expect those calls now that he is no longer with the Lakers and Kobe isn't on the floor.

    I also yelled later if he had a 25 point play when he called a time out . . . he didn't think that was funny.

    Last year against NJ was his best game yet. We don't win that game without him.
