    Unless Joel and Greg have 6 fouls there is no reason Frye should be in playing center. God Damn It Nate.

    Why is the "All Low IQ" team on the floor?

    Get Joel and Roy back in before this gets out of hand.

    Our bench unit is killing us.

    Anyone who believes Sergio is an NBA point guard is kidding themselves. He'll be out of this league in two years.

    3rd-year players with international experience should not make as many mistakes as he does. He's single handily given up about six points to Philly with careless shots that led to fast breaks, terrible defensive decisions that put him out of position, and overall boneheaded ball-handling.

    I'd rather watch Bayless jump every fucking time he passes and never ever ever hit a jumper than watch Sergio "lead" the second unit.

    Nate is crazy to go with Sergio instead of Bayless as the back up PG. The reason Bayless was struggling is Nate neutered him and has taken all the aggressive play out of Bayless. Let Bayless play with his normal attitude and aggression and I could live with the mistakes at least he will play decent defense and do something positive.

    Bayless should be ahead of Sergio tonight for defensive effort alone.

    I think Rudy is playing his way to deep on the bench. He better start hitting some 3's with Webster looking to make a return.

    We got lucky they threw it away there. They had 2 guys beating us down the floor. It looks like we are the ones that played last night.

    They play way better team defense than us even on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. That's the story of this season.

    I was wondering how long it would take for this game thread to turn into a "Bayless v. Sergio" thread.

    The Blazers are just standing around and watching dudes getting shut down on the high pick and roll.

    Rudy is awful tonight. Sit him!

    Why pass when you can get any shot you want anywhere on the floor?

    Nobody on this team can force him to pass.

    We need Bayless and Batum in there to turn up the defensive intensity.

    With a dozen or so of the same old fictional recaps of how Sergio (2-3 fg, 1-2 3pt, 1 rb, 1 ast, 0 TO's, 1 PF 5pts) is singlehandedly losing the game, all it takes is a simple disclaimer by me to make that happen?

    Bullshit anybody that thinks Sergio is a NBA backup PG is crazy. He might be ok on a fast break team like the Knicks but I'm not even sure about that. Bayless would thrive in a tough hardnose game like tonight except Nate or Bayless has changed his game and isn't being aggressive as he normally would.

    He has passed plenty, he's just not very good at it.

    I wasn't just speaking of you, sorry if I only quoted you. I was also referring to the two posts before you that were Bayless v Sergio related.
