    You stay with Rudy.

    It's not even debatable.

    Nate played it just right.

    I don't start Bayless, but I might start Webster or just stick with Rudy.

    Bayless looks like he is going to be solid off the bench. Start Rudy and bring Bayless off the bench. I think Rudy needs his mins limited...

    Why can't Rudy go around Nash? It's really weird - at least shoot over him instead of fading away.

    Need Bayless' scoring punch off the bench, not too mention he's the backup PG.

    Not ready ti give up on Rudy, but if there's a switch to be made, it's Webster for Rudy. Webster has always been better as a starter than a bench player it seems, and Rudy's natural role is a bench player.

    I like Rudy if he is hitting the 3's and creating space for people like Miller. But at this point his head is in Europe and not here. I feel like Bayless can do well this series, minus the unclutch free throws.

    I called Kenny Vance on Wheels at Work this past week and said that Bayless was the "X Factor". He scoffed at me, even when I pointed out how Bayless had dominated PHX when Roy was out earlier, and how he'd be able to attack the rim tonight. I posted similar things on this board.

    Fuck Kenny Vance. He knows less than I do about the NBA!

    I think we need Bayless off the bench. Shift the Rudy-Bayless minutes each game based off of who's hot. Throw Webster into that as well.

    WTF is up with Rudy?

    Horrible is a nice way of putting how he's played.

    Bayless played well, but Rudy had several great looks. I think we go back to Rudy in the starting lineup and see if he can hit them next game.

    Keep Bayless in the backup PG spot and use him at the backup 2 if he's having a good game... just like Nate did tonight.
