Pound the Rock Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Good 4th quarter leading into overtime by the Raps. Shame that we couldn't close it out though. Liked the fight still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 You know the Wizards got problems when both Kleiza and Bayless can drop 30 on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 You know the Wizards got problems when both Kleiza and Bayless can drop 30 on you. Not really. Bayless has always been able to score. He was a big time scorer in college and has consistenty put up solid scoring numbers when given the chance in the NBA. With Portland I remember he had a 30+ point game against the Spurs He dropped 26/4/8 on 64% shooting and 20/3/4 on 60% shooting against the Bulls last year. He dropped 23/8 on 50% shooting against the Magic.He dropped 21/3/4 on 46% shooting against the Heat.He dropped 24/4/8 on 53% shooting against the Sixers. The Bulls, Heat and Magic were three of the best defensive teams in the league and the Sixers were a good team as well. He has shown that he is capable of having these kind of offensive outbursts, and you could even argue the same for Kleiza, although to a lesser degree. The knock on Bayless has always been his decision making and being able to effectively run an offense, which we saw today. He did a fantastic job getting his team back into the game, but he also took some really poor shots, ran down the clock and generally made poor decisions with the ball. As good as he played in the 3rd and 4th, he played pretty poorly in OT, showing the same weaknesses that have held him back from being a real impact player in the league. He was hot and him and Kleiza were the only reasons that the game was in OT anyways, so I can understand why he played like that. Nobody else was doing much aside from him and Linas so he had to take it upon himself. His scoring has never been in question, though.
