I watched that Pistons-Raps game, and was really impressed by Jerryd. Dude led them back from nearly 25 on the road on the second night of a back to back. Very impressive performance.

I hated that deal when we made it. Hate it even more after seeing that game tonight.
 
I think (and thought) the Blazers gave up on Bayless far too early. We'll see how it all turns out.

Nice freeze of Wes......... you obviously like my work!
 
Ha, sure. I found a screen cap on Blazersedge, and then cropped the pic. Next time, it would be cool if you get a shot of Roy throwin up the goggles.
 
T-Wolves lost by 29 points, but ZBO Jr. still got his All-World numbers as his team got outrebounded by 17.

Didn't hear much from you after the win last night. If you watched the game you would've noticed that Love didn't play in the 4th quarter. The quarter which the Wolves were beasted by Chicago on the boards 19-6

I like how Miami's rebounding.

So many games though, 4 games on the road in 6 nights blow.
 
Gerald Wallace over the last 5 games: 27- 78 from the field 4-13 from 3 pt 17-34 from the line. Charlotte with 62 pts tonight at HOME!
 
Kevin Love an underrated athlete?

here were his combine results back in 2008:
35" vertical (pretty nice, same as Beasley)
lifted the 185 bar 18 times (Jordan only 8 times, Beasley 19 times)
ran the 3/4 crt sprint in 3.22 seconds (Rose ran a 3.05, Gordon ran a 3.01, big guys like Randolph and Jordan ran it in around 3.26/3.28)
and Love was faster than Bayless in the lane agility drills! (Bayless 11.26, Love 11.17; Randolph ran a 11.86, Lopez was dead last at 12.77)

Yea there has been some talk Charlotte actually is front runner for Carmello, and Wallace would be the piece to bring him in. At least rumored.

I remember seeing that too. People are racist.
 
Bayless off to a good start against Charlotte on the road. 5 points/4 assists/1 steal in the first quarter. Raps up 29-20.
 
Fucking Cho/Nate. Getting rid of Bayless was stupid. Maybe I don't want Cho to make anymore trades? Keep evaluating and analyzing please
 
I just can't believe the team deliberately killed their bench like that. Makes no sense to give up on an young inexperienced player for an even younger inexperienced player that's not as talented as the guy before.

Jesus, WTF!
 
Bayless 11points/6 assists at halftime. Team of crappy players up 6 on the road against future Blazer coach Larry Brown.

Somebody needs to explain the rationale behind trading Bayless. Was it a forced thing? If so, why trade Bayless, but not trade Rudy?

Does Cho have any idea what he is doing at this point?

I think the team put too much stock into Armon playing so well in the preseason. In their minds he probably beat out Jerryd for the spot, plain and simple. It's as if they forgot Jerryd just averaged 14/4 in the playoffs and Armon is a rookie that was selected in the 2nd round.

Complete failure of a move.

It makes no sense, though. The one thing we know about Cho is that he is very deliberate. I have to think that somebody forced him into that trade, and Cho lacked the authority to say no. How much money did Paul Allen spend to buy the Armon Johnson pick?

I know people don't like or want to hear about "sources", but I was told by two different people that Nate wanted Bayless traded because he didn't play the way Nate wanted. It was also reported in the media that Nate had Armon Johnson ahead of Bayless on the depth chart.

Wes is your boy now? You were doggin' on him like crazy when we signed him.

I was just talking about his avatar. It was my frozen video from our broadcast. But you are correct...... I was way wrong about him as a player. He has played way above my expectations.

We don't know the front office's rationale. The reasoning put forth by fans seems to be that he was a scorer and not a pure point guard, so with Roy at the 2, he'd never fit and therefore was worthless to the Blazers.

I find that pretty faulty logic for trading away a talented young player under team control for another few seasons, so I hope that isn't actually the reason.
 
End of the 3rd quarter:

15 pts
9 ast (2 turnovers)

I hope that Bayless' team doesn't lose this game making every stat he collected absolutely meaningless...
