Before last night I'd be inclined to agree with you, but 1-11 shooting in 25 minutes isn't something I'm super stoked to throw into the starting line-up. Although I do get on people about sample sizes, so I guess it is just one game.
At this point it's probably the,"a douche or a turd sandwich" dilemma. Neither is likely to come in and replace what we got from Blake and Rudy, but I see the lesser of two evils being Bayless (barely), he's raw, he's unpolished, but he's at least aggressive and willing to get in the grill of an opposing point guard (to varying effect admittedly). But right now there is zero point in arguing who should or shouldn't be playing, they're both gonna be on the court so I wish them Godspeed.
Mixum, I think you're totally undervalueing the amount of fire and desire Bayless has to win! This kid is a competitor, I don't see him being responsible for to many loses. Have a little hope. I think this kid may surprise us all, especially once he relaxes! Just like Oden!
He is a ROOKIE! Who plays sparingly to boot. We made Rose look like a D league scrub in Portland earlier this year, does that mean he still shouldn't pay a crap load? We need to give our rookies a long look before deciding if they are worthwhile or not.
I was thinking about that earlier. Rose has had some pretty bad games... he's had some brilliant games. The key is, he gets to play through it.
