    Well said. Freaking Blazer homers are the worst.

    LMFAO! So, we trade him for a first round pick, then you say you would offer a first round pick for him.

    This forum is full of ... ... ... uhh... brilliant people.

    I'm sorry that sarcasm is lost on you. I'm sure that's a mark of brilliance. :)

    I don't miss Bayless AT ALL. Because, although Patty Mills will never score like Bayless, he's one of the major reasons that the current Blazer team is bonding like crazy and playing like a real team. And Mills wouldn't've gotten ANY minutes if we still had Bayless. And I think everybody's game but possibly Bayless's would be suffering as a result.

    The people who post in this thread.

    Feel free not to participate, if you choose, rather than complaining about those who do :)

    I give JB's stats for one game and say Go Bayless makes me a homer?

    BRILLIANT!

    Posting "D'OH!" makes you a Homer.

    He was in the doghouse prior to the food poisoning. He's in the doghouse tonight as well.

    What are you talking about? He played more minutes tonight (17) than most of the Blazers' backup PG games. Does that mean that Mills and Johnson are "in the doghouse"?

    He played the 2nd least minutes on the Raptors.

    Johnson is definitely in the doghouse. Mills should be, but we don't have any other options right now. Unfortunately, Miller can't play 48 minutes a game.

    I think you have a different definition of "doghouse" than most people. Saying a player "should be" in the doghouse... I don't even know what you're talking about.

    Also, there were two players that only played a minute for the Raptors and one that got a DNP-CD (along with Weems, who has a sore back). I don't think that the facts are that complicated in this case so I think you should pay closer attention to reality. :)

    What is most people's definition of doghouse? Going from playing 35mpg down to 15mpg would suggest he's not in good graces with the coach.

    Facts aren't very complicated. Its just making more sense by the day that Bayless isn't as good as some around here think he is.

    I don't know about Mills, but I would say that Armon is for sure.

    I did choose to participate. I clearly told you all that you are morons for caring about Bayless without saying so as not to make a personal attack. I would make personal attacks at a level low enough just to keep from being banned but you delete them and I would rather people read what I type.

    I would rather drag Rasheed's likely to now be 280 lb ass out of retirement to play backup point than have Bayless on this team.

    I watched Bayless play UNLV with Jordan Hill a few years ago and his shitty play made Jordan Hill look like a number one pick in comparison. Sure it was one game, but a surefire NBA caliber player should have ripped that team a new one.

    I think I found that stats from that game. http://statsheet.com/mcb/games/2007/12/19/arizona-52-unlv-49

    edit...saw his stats for that whole year...looked pretty good.

    Well he started for Toronto last night and they beat Dallas with him playing 33 minutes. Not a great stats line from the floor, but he had 6 boards and 8 assist to go with it.

    I think Bayless' play had less to do with their beating Dallas than the Mavs missing Dirk from their lineup.
