I know that there have many Bayless should play threads but this one will be a little different. My frustration with Bayless' playing time has officially reached an all time peak (just when I thought it couldnt get worse). On a night where we went to a small ball line up for most of the game it makes no sense that he played less than 8 minutes. 8 minutes ... ridiculous. Meanwhile Blake plays almost 36 and fails to score. And KingSpeed, I dont even want to hear it about his 8 assists. If Blake isnt a threat to score at all then its like playing 4 on 5. Bayless is probably one of my favorite players on the team outside of Oden. It kills me to not see him play. And it would really suck if we lost him. But Ive come to the conclusion that if he is one of my favorite players and I want to see him play then he needs to be moved. At least then I could watch him play for someone. It sure as hell isnt going to be for us. I would love to think that Blake or Miller is going to be dealt thereby opening up time for Bayless but I know how our management team works and that isnt going to happen. For his sake, Bayless has gotta go ... and its going haunt us when we do.
Considering the crop of young guards that are blossoming in the nba the past couple of seasons, it's a shame that Bayless, who is probably touted as being in the upper tier of those youngsters, gets no burn. We're frustrated, but geez, Bayless must be about to go Jurassic on someone. Just another way this front office/coaching staff have really screwed the pooch these past couple of seasons.
Highly enjoyed Michael Holton on the Fifth Quarter try to defend the move, as he said the coaching staff was saving Jerryd for tomorrow. Why not try winning the game right now and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow? Ugh.. Holton is so homer.
THE outside ones are Roys and the middle one is Nates head.... Blake with the Assist! Yes and it counts!
