Its time for Nate to realize that

are you aware that the team is 8-3 and well ahead of last year's pace? Geez the club has been winning decisively on the road and looks to be the best rebounding club in the league... life is good

But it could be a little bit better if Batum were healthy

are you aware that the team is 8-3 which puts them on pace for 60 wins? Geez the club has been winning decisively on the road and looks to be the best rebounding club in the league... life is good

I agree that life is good, but I don't want to get myself too excited over the 8-3 start, considering 5 of the wins came against poor teams (Minnesota, Memphis, Minnesota, New Orleans and Charlotte).

The other 3 wins are good though. OKC, on the road, San Antonio and Houston, but they haven't been real tests yet. I do like how they're winning games big, and winning games poorer teams tend to lose, but I want to see them beat Atlanta, and then win games like @GS (we never play good there).

The rest of this month is not a great test of the teams place in the league. Of their opponents for the rest of the month, the biggest tests might be @GS, Chicago and @Utah.

December is a brutal month, with games @ Dallas, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Orlando, Miami, San Antonio, and games at home against Miami, Houston, Phoenix and Denver.

So is Bayless good to go tomorrow? I did not see an update on his ankle. I assume he could of played against Charlotte if he had to?

Blake doesnt need to be traded, because honestly, he has little value around the league IMHO....but he needs to play 15 mins instead of 30....

Rudy is better than blake at this point... and bayless is almost as good, but a lot younger and a better defender, so i would give Bayless at least as many mins as Blake

They call it "having a career year" for a reason. yes im looking at you steve blake....

32 min, 1-7, 2 assists, 3 points... eww, yuck

Bayless has consistenly outplayed Blake this year, in the mins he has played, and that is saying a lot. The guy can play 10-15 min a game, but not 32. This is getting bad....

And i know i know 5 in a row, lets just say those wins had little to do with Blake...
