Starters are looking better with him out there
Great game so far for the Big Banger!
Starters are looking better with him out there
When Harlem and his alts start claiming that Baynes cannot play defense, we can be secure in our knowledge that his basketball a en is complete and utter .
I saw him box out 2 guys at one time, and they could not get round. LOL
The Big Banger looking totally boss out there against those Detroit monsters.
I like the move where Kawhi drives to the basket and then dumps the ball to Baynes for a easy mid range shot. For a big his free throws and mid range shooting is pretty damn good..
It's the protection role that is important. We do not want tim going against Drummond et al through a season as he will not survive for playoffs in a viable state
He didn't play the first game against the Pistons; that was Errors'The Big Banger looking totally boss out there against those Detroit monsters.break out game
ElNono should get in here and defend his boy pender .

ElNono should get in here and defend his boy pender .wtf are you talking about, I've always been a fan of Baynes... was saying he was worth the money when people wanted to let him walk coz
and lol @ PJ with "Baynsie"
I find it interesting that Pop has seemingly gone out of his way to compliment him lately, even going to far as to say (to paraphrase) that he's a very good mid ranger shooter and could probably shoot threes, at this point.
Between that and him defending some PF's recently, I'm no longer convinced Splitter not starting is to send a message to him, but rather to find out if Baynes can essentially play PF on both sides of the ball. This would allow for two things: 1) A semblance more spacing in the starting lineup, which is desperately needed with Duncan essentially abandoning mid rangers, 2) Splitter off the bench means having a true defensive anchor for 48 minutes. Also, it would allow him to play with Ginobili more, whom he has outstanding pick and roll chemistry with.
It probably won't last, but it is worth a look.
Baynes has a hardness to him that Splitter, for all of his good points, does not have and I would suggest that this is useful in some cir stances. At this point in the season it is also good time to develop game skills and working relationships - you can afford to take the risk and protect the older fragile guys. There is also the element that depth adds load to the opposition: People know that Splitter will not shoot a mid range shot well - so if your guarding the 5 against the spurs you did not have to work that hard to move around/out you had to sag off for the roll. If pop has the option of working a rotation between those two then the opposition has to accommodate that into their game plan and the defense as a whole has to work harder
Tony doesn't trust passing him the ball on pnr yet. Those two are still a work in progress. The last month is the first time Baynes has had a chance to play significant minutes with Tim and Tony. This should improve.
imo your Big Banger Bandwagon Card was revoked when you made this disgusting comment:
and lol @ PJ with "Baynsie"
Pop calls him Baynsie as well, I think...
A 4/5 with a reliable jumper would be huge for us.
I don't think I have ever stated an opinion about Baynes's defense
Just a month ago, I said I didnt mind him as a 4th big, tbh..
Baynes is definitely questionable on defense. He's been mediocre at best this year on that end. He's had moments where he's looked good (or even great), but as a whole he hasn't been a good defender.
That being said, expecting your 4th big to be some great all-around player is unrealistic. Baynes is perfectly fine in his current role.
The questionable bit depends on who it is he has to guard - the current Howard he is in trouble, Adams and some others no problem
Big Banger is ballin!
He's got a nice touch at the line.

Great Spurs career... will be missed.
I didn't see this posted about Aron.....He had to delay his welcome presser because
he was still messed up fro his stress test physical. Baynes had surgery on his ankle
and could not go on the treadmill. To get his pulse and blood pressure up they inject you
with a a drug that will raise them so they can check your heart. He had a reaction to the drug
and it made him dozy so the cancelled the presser.
Good on him, played hard, developed and got a big payday. I expect that he will keep his effort high and will have a chance to play where he is and will give good quality minutes.
big baynger is the missing piece vs kanter & adams...................
