I've read that Brad Stevens likes the 2 PG lineup (with Craw and Bayless). I do too.

Spamming the best play in the NBA today - the pick and roll - was pretty cool. I remember one play (vs. the Clips) where they basically ran 2 pick and rolls and it ended with (iirc) a made jumper by Bayless.

The passing also got infectious.

Playing Bayless next to Craw also gives us a nice little sneak peek of what happens when (and if, according to LarBrd) Rondo comes back.



As for too-early impressions of Bayless himself, he's better than I expected. He's not as big of a chucker as I'd previously thought, maybe because of limited minutes and maybe because he was playing next to Craw, who is truly a maniac.
What I saw was two ball hogs taking all the shots.

Bayless, Crawford and Brooks should be the three guard rotation now and the near future

Did you name yourself after one of the biggest Celtics 1st round busts on purpose or was Fab Melo already taken? :)

[/quote]Named myself after Jerome!  My second impression of Bayless is that he still sucks and can't shoot.
