Bayless ruining chemistry?

[sunnyd656]

It could be viewer's bias, but I feel like Bayless is a Jordan Crawford of the Wizards. Passing is contagious, watch Rondo make 3 different touch passes to make other players (I believe 2 of them were KO) make the same touch passes for an open layup.

I do love, literally, everyone on the court BESIDES Bayless. I actually wonder why their is always such a set lineup. KO and Hump rarely play with Rondo.

Anyway, was a good game from Celtics, and I thought we missed shots we could have made, and they made shots that were against good defense. I can't get over Bayless dribbling and taking hilarious shots, but again, could be because someone has to be blamed.

I never cared for Bayless. Still don't. I root for all Celtics, but I will be happy when he is gone.

I don't like Bayless either. I want him gone.

Lousy defender. Non-passer. Streaky scorer.

I couldn't believe Simmons saying that he could have been a great player if he were on the right team.  The team in which he plays would never change the fact that he is a point guard size player without point guard skills... and he can't shoot!

[ssspence]

He's a vet min player. Doubt he's back next season.

we got him for financial reasons, not basketball reasons. The possibility that he's contributing to improve our draft position is an added bonus, but clearing his salary off the books in two months was the main purpose.

The thing about bayless is he's a scoring guard. For some reason he has been trying to distribute for us which he is awful at. Every time he comes in for rondo, we can't score. From my observations he can only shoot off the dribble not off the catch yet he rarely shoots off the dribble when he plays point.

Watching him play it is apparent if we are to try and make the playoffs next year we need to add a good back up point (as well as a center and a wing scorer just to start)

I like Bayless. He is in an unfortunate situation where he didn't go through training camp. Very hard for him to fit in.  He is usually out there with an odd lineup. With the proper practice and a more balanced squad, I think he can be a good piece if the price is right.

I don't know what some have against Bayless.

What's there not to like about a guy that has his skill set?

Great shooter, great player all around.

Again, I thought the object of the game was to put the ball in the net.

Also, I don't understand the title of the thread…"Bayless ruining Chemistry?"

What chemistry is he ruining when this team was designed to be a lottery team?

Come on guys!

I'd take Bayless as my starting shooting or point guard any day of the week

Ainge said that he had looked into acquiring Bayless in previous seasons, so the reasons are more than purely financial.

I guess he was in 4 other unfortunate situations before this one. 

And gpap... really?  Great shooter and great all around player?  He can't shoot and he has no other skills.

Trade was good. Better team player than Craw despite the similar play styles. He's a spot up shooter and 3 point threat off the bench behind a starter in Rondo who's not a scorer. We have capable ball handlers in Rondo, Green, and Wallace so he doesn't need to dish 10 assists a game.

He was pretty respectable in Portland and Toronto averaging 17 -22 min a game. Played pretty solid actually.  He is a very good player. What about his past makes you come to the conclusion that he is not that good? Just because he bounced around a little doesn't mean he isn't skilled.

Let's throw this one out there....I don't think Stevens offensive system fits Rondo.

I said this when he had that big game when he 1st joined us. the only difference from Jordan when he had that big game was he made the shots in that game.

he's another tweener player. I can't stand these type players. he's a 2 but has to play pg because the 2's he'd have to defend are 3 ft taller, but we play him at point even though he can't do that either.
