I doubt Bayless will ever reach Roy's level, but I'm pleased with him and think he is and will be a very good player. I'm excited for our future with him and Batum. I still think Oden is the key to a championship, though. The last 6 or so games have just been awesome in Blazer land. What an up and down season. Go Blazers!
Yeah he gets a bit into the moment. He is a very passionate fan and follows the team as much as any of us, so as long as you rember he can't contain his in the moment excitement and adjust the context you view his comments in it's all good. It was fun a couple years ago when Eric was traveling on all those away trips, buying tickets next to Donald Sterling and heckling players. We all got to vicariously live the ultimate fan life through him for awhile.
That is exactly how I see Eric. I really like him, and think he is a great fan. I'm actually slightly entertained by posts such as these and the Randolph, Yi types.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha...........the guy was 10 of 24 last night and you are comparing him to roy who against MIA was 11-15 including 5-5 from 3. good work on asking the dumbest question you've ever asked on here. that took quite a bit cause you've asked some really, really dumb ones.
roy... and if they can't coexist then trade skip for true role players and let him get his minutes elsewhere. sell high
Funny question, thanks for the laugh. I love Bayless' game and think that he and Roy will be a great duo going forward. One thing I did notice against the Spurs is, with Roy out, the offensive flow and tempo seemed much better without Roy slowing down looking for the 5 on 1 move. Just seemed more conducive to team ball. Hopefully Roy will allow Bayless to control the Ball from the point, at times, though he doesn't seem to like the ball being in anyone's hands other than his own.
roy and bayless in the backcourt with an elite three point shooter at small forward. the two guards may generate enough cumulative assists and the spot up shooting comes from the Three
how about bayless or derrick rose? might sound equally silly to some but bayless is already showing much better range than rose has to this point, and for that reason could be a much better fit with roy.
I think Derrick Rose is more talented, but he is not being done any favors by playing for VDN --who might be the most clueless coach in the league -- Rose's development as a player is being severely stunted.
yes, rose is more talented. but it's not the coach's fault. rose dribbles east/west too much (no-one in the league wastes more dribbles than derrick rose), he doesn't go to the rim enough, he scoops shots away from contact on drives instead of drawing fouls, and he's bad at finishing. he's wasting his own talent: one of the best handles in the game, speed, strength, explosiveness off the dribble, great elevation on dribble-drives.
yet at their respective predrafts, it was Roy with the 40.5" vert which was 2.5" higher then JB's http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?year=All&sort2=DESC&draft=0&pos=0&sort=1 I'm still looking forward to the guard/wing rotation eventually being whittled down to a combo Jerryd Rudy Roy and Batum getting a majority of the minutes. STOMP
You can be the most athletically gifted freak in the NBA, but it won't mean s%#t if you decide to walk around the court most of the time.
you can say "shit" on this site... knock yourself out are you really saying Roy doesn't use his outstanding athleticism regularly? STOMP
Well shit, I'm not trying to downplay Roy's commitment or will to win, I'll just say Roy sometimes is 'inconsistent' with the use of his athleticism from what I see on court (fast breaking, defense).
Roy jumped higher, Bayless benched more (10 reps of 185 to Roy's 6). Bayless was also faster (3.07 sprint to Roy's 3.27), while Roy beat him in the agility drill (11.13 to 11.26). Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Bayless' game relies more on athleticism,whereas Roy is more about control and change of pace. Either way, I still said that Roy is better.
Wait a minute, his coach is playing him. He's getting playing time! I thought that's all you needed to make sure your growth wasn't stunted?
They complement each other to a T. KS, were you drunk posting last night? wow, some of your posts....
Interesting, although I don't read into the bench press results. Anybody who has lifted weights knows that shorter arms = much easier bench press. Simple physics.
