It wouldn't be too surprising given the way the second unit has given up big leads when Bayless tries to run the team.
really? hmm i said the same thing saturday night. you guys obviously have blinders on not to realize how bad what happened on saturday was. they had to put miller in up 20 with 8 minutes left cause bayless was so bad. AGAINST THE TWOLVES?????? Blazers will sign a PG vet with that last roster spot. WARNING TO HOMERs..... WARNING TO HOMERs.... RED ALERT RED ALERT...

WARNING TO DUMBASSES .... WARNING TO DUMBASSES ... WARNING TO DUMBASSES ... WARNING TO DUMBASSES ... The Bleacher report does not use real journalists, these are everyday shlubs just like us posting their frequently incoherent, always amateur opinions, masquerading as "news"
Bayless is a combo guard that can pass well. He is not a floor leader, and needs to play with a guy like Roy, who is.
Thanks, MIXUM, you're a hoot. Always good for a Monday morning laugh with your schtick. BTW, I don't disagree with you or the Bleacher Report piece (not exactly the most reputable source, however) that Bayless is not likely to be the Blazers' point guard of the future. He just doesn't seem to have much court awareness.
IIRC, Bayless doesn't do badly when paired with Miller, either. That said, you are entirely correct: Bayless is a combo guard. Nothing more, nothing less. Always has been, always will be. I believe I heard that the knock on him these days has been in regards to his somewhat dreadful outside shooting percentages.
It's obvious Bayless is not a true point and shouldn't be playing as one. He's a SG with PG size. He's supposed to be the offensive spark plug for us off the bench. It's gonna take time for him to develop.
this is gonna be a sobering lasnt month and a half for bayless lovers lol and yes i know what bleacher report is, but they hit the nail on the head.
I tend to agree that Bayless is more likely to disappoint than impress (who knows?) during this stretch run, but I just thought it was funny how you propped up that BR story like it was going to be some kind of devestating piece written by a nationally respected columnist.
He was a very good shooter in college, so I would assume he will be good here at some point. THIS NEXT STATEMENT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A SLAM ON NATE...... I think part of his problem is that he is not a "Nate guy". I think Nate tries too hard sometimes to try to mold PG's into his image. Bayless is not that guy, nor was Sergio. I don't really think Miller is either, but he is a vet, and is already established. Sometimes I think it causes our young PG's to think too much on the floor, and that might be part of the problem.
Pretty much. The ball movement really bogs down when he is combined with Webster who has the worst handle of all the guards/wings. STOMP
no we don't, he was only in the way of the process of evaluating Bayless and the entire PG question for the next several years.
+1, winner. This is the result of McMillan's crappy offense , and how HE runs the team. Not Brex's abilities..
Making posts on Bleacher Report, and then linking to them here to lend credibility to your nonsense isn't going to get you anywhere. That is like making wiki posts and then referencing them for term papers. Plus I think it is funny that your last name is Virgin, that made me giggle.
