    Kinda like that game against the Spurs last year. A blind squirrel will eventually find a nut.

    Obviously, this was Cho's plan all along. If Bayless keeps this up, he'll make Paul expendable and we will finally be able to land our PGOTF!

    Hey good for Jerryd. Anybody that works that hard deserves opportunities, hopefully he's able to take full advantage.

    At some point, Bayless will get comfortable in the new offense.

    At some point, Chris Paul will make him into an All-Star. He did it with David West, why not Bayless?

    Well, we were going to retire it, but there wasn't really enough space in the rafters.

    Hey.. Sean has staying power! 11 years in the league -- pretty good for a guy averaging 2.9 points and 2.3 rebs in his career.

    He's living the dream -- gets paid, lives the NBA life and gets the best seat in the house every game.

    God I wish I was 6'11. I knew a guy in high school who was 6'11 and completely wasted his gift. Didn't spend any time in the gym. Dude was 6'11 and couldn't board worth a damn. If I were that tall, I'd at least parlay it into a scholarship to a D1 school. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to board over all the 6'1 kids playing center in high school.

    Bayless had 9 assists in a game for us last spring against the Warriors.

    He's no Yinka Dare, but he's definitely not a distributor.

    I still think Bayless is a willing passer though. 2 years younger than Matthews, and 3 years younger than Rudy.

    Bad trade

    IMO the only thing separating Bayless from Westbrook and Mayo is the playing time. Westbrook and Mayo got immersed by being injected into the starting lineup of a bad team and got the experience. Bayless didn't. A lot of folks seem to have forgotten how well he played when Brandon was down, and in fact that at least a few victories last year, were owed to him being on the court.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    We could use Bayless now. Who knew we needed a SGotF?
