Why is Bayless playing at all? Is he in plans for next year?
At least they are playing him as the only PG.

Because Rose and Teague are both out and Tyus can't play all 48 min

I would rather they played Rose for the entertainment value. Park Bayless for the season. Bayless is fine as long as no other PG is playing with him. But ever since his shot went cold he won't shoot enough anymore.

...when the Capella screen game takes over. Assert position dominance at the elbow with two players.

I read ur comments on the Rose stuff on the utah thread. by NBA standards he is underpaid. By ordinary living standards he makes 2.4 million dollars a year to shoot basketballs.

Okogie is a scrapper. Wiggins is uninvolved and lacks effort, he might as well be smoking leaf at the three point circle. At least he used to attack the rim, he really does look like he is loafing.

And by Ordinary Living standards, Towns makes as much as 130 Americans right now. Next season he will make as much as 500 americans per year. Meanwhile we are sitting others and letting him play so he can chase allnba and an additional 117 american's annual livings (600+) to shoot basketballs. Towns might as well pick an empty plot of woods and build a town called Towns. The welcome sign could read "population of 1, income of 620 and climbing."
'

Rose and Okogie make the same. Wiggins makes 10X what they each make. I'm not sure how these players look each other in the eye after games. Towns Nike deal probably dwarfs everything.

Tyus should be able to handle 40. I learned from Thibs. Especially when shooting like this tonight. He can't hit the barn again. That would mean extra minutes to Thibs.

When Tyus' agent comes knocking, hand him a tape of this game.

Three pointers are out kryptonite. If three's didn't exist we would be in the playoffs.

8 threes in half a quarter and we struggle to make 8 threes in a game. Just a different playing field man.

Towns can hit them. Play the game. Let Taj post and get the ball to Towns outside. Forget hoping Tolliver can hit two a night.

The previous two Rockets games were fun. If they played that way with those players, even a loss would be fun. Oh well.

Seen enough of this one.

Yea no one ever mentions his impact. He has a bigger impact than Rose.

-Saric have one epic offensive game
-Beat the Sixers
-Rose to ball out for a few more games
-See Obi Wan Okogie again
-2019 Wiggins poster
-2 game Road win streak

Might as well just hit the snooze button on this team for 4 years as we wait out the Wiggins disaster.
