Hail the great Baynes
His shot was falling and ffs does he make a difference defending the rim as opposed to Ayres. Great job cutting off drives especially on the baseline and played the two man pnr defense damned well. Dude just kept on making plays. Sweet action out of both the high and low post.
Couple of stupid fouls swiping for the ball. Didn't run the floor particularly well when he tired. Conditioning is lacking. Could have been better on the boards although he was okay.
Got burn with Duncan to start the second half which had me giddy. And if you still cannot see why Baynes > Ayres you need to check your head.
The man finishes naturally with both hands. That's something no one else on the team does. Duncan is decidedly RH for example.
Baynes is much better than Ayers, it's not so difficult to see. I think Ayres should be after Thomas in the big rotation.
While that's not hard, its ultimately true and Baynes needs to get time get Ayres
I dont really like to judge game highlights, but I just got a hard-on looking at that. (No ) Aryers couldn't do all that in his best dreams about himself. But it also makes my ing pimp hand twitch. I wanna slap the piss outta Pop for not letting him get more burn so he can get better conditioning. Dam the choir, LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN!!!
Great game by Bane, he deserves to get PT instead of Ayres in the next couple of games to see if he can deliver constantly. But man, that's the good ol' Bynes I watched in Europe.
"The Big Banger" sounds ok to me. Really if we can keep this guy (and he stays healthy) we might have a chance with him. He seems to be fairly bright and I bet over time he is just going to play smarter. He is the guy that we've needed since we refused to bring over Javtokas.
It's very difficult for me to understand how some fans still can't see this guy's potential. I've wanted more PT for Baynes since last season. I would love to see him get some more touches in the low post and really use that big body with the purpose for which it was built, instead of just running around the perimeter setting screens for guards. But that requires a little flexibility on Pop's part. Anyways, i hope to see more tonight against the bucks.. another important point to consider is that a little healthy compe ion for minutes will benefit Tiago as well. Go Spurs!!
I was particularly impressed by two plays. The first was when he was alone amidst three Raptors, missed a shot, got the OR over them and went up for a dunk. The second of course was his play going to his left where the defender obviously thought he was pulling up for a hand off pass to one of our guys, but Baynes hesitated and then drove to the basket using his left hand and dunked it unopposed.
Perhaps Baynes can work with Green on his handle. [sarcasm/]
He's not the second coming of DRob, but he's a wide load in the paint and not afraid to mix it up. Some highly mobile bigs will eat him up, but he should do OK against some other wide loads like Bogut.
And his 15 ft jumper should be enough to draw some defenders out of the paint to give Parker some additional room to drive the lane.
Remember, he hasn't played a whole season in the NBA yet so I still see him as a rookie. He's a work in progress that shows some promise as a valuable roll player.
If Pop plays him, he'll get a better feel of the game an chill with the small ticky tac fouls!
he is what he is, a big man to come off the bench, play solid D, and make those high percentage shots in the paint. apparently he can make some good passes too, which is a plus. and as shown against LA last year, he can start games and literally make big men quit the game for the rest of the season. if he can do half of what he did last night on a regular basis(along with the usual awesome games and bad games that everyone has), that would be perfect.
His mid range jumper can be good; I think he just needs some consistent playing time to get it in rhythm. but in the preseason, he was knocking it down fairly regularly.
With Splitter and Diaw both hurt Baynes should get his chance to show what he can do. So far so good. I'd rather see him on the floor at the 5 spot than Ayres.
Umm, you are talking about the Big Fundamental. No way is Baynes better than Duncan with the left hand. Just last night Duncan put up a nice soft hook shot with the left.
the most intriguing thing about baynes is that jump shot. can he hit that at a good clip? would love to hand OKC some "how the is this guy making every jump shot" revenge.I was particularly impressed by two plays. The first was when he was alone amidst three Raptors, missed a shot, got the OR over them and went up for a dunk. The second of course was his play going to his left where the defender obviously thought he was pulling up for a hand off pass to one of our guys, but Baynes hesitated and then drove to the basket using his left hand and dunked it unopposed.

Hats off to that Career performance last night. Thumbs up. The man did everything you could've wanted him to do and then some. Dude even took a charge. Hopefully he s on Sanders and Henson tonight!
Most exciting performance of the RS so far for me. This off season I said that Baynes was the best "recruit", didn't get why he didn't play after clearly outplaying Ayres in preseason and now he gets a real shot and makes the best of it. Really happy.
Baynes has the size of a real 5 and brings good monkeyballing and even some hints of finesse here and there... Ayres Diaw never made any sense defensively, you just had to look at Verajao just shooting over Ayres' head like it was nothing...
I even think he could be more useful than Splitter in the POs when you need tough players, on both ends... He shoots his jumper without second thought and mostly dunks the rest of the time. We need him so badly against Indiana and OKC's rim protection.
From what I remember he doesn't have a post game but Splitter doesn't either and can't shoot to space the floor for someone who has one... I just wish he's gonna keep getting minutes... Guy shut down Dwight and didn't play since basically, I really don't get Pop...
He dunk on Jermaine O'Neal an got a tec. Pop put him on the bench for talking an aint seen the court since! Literally
this australian probably eats 2 or 3 kangaroos a day. he's a machine
Pop has to pull the spurs fan mind every year with someone. It his MO to have a "i do things because i can" each year. This year, its inexplicably playing ayers over baynes from day one of the regular season.
The fact he doesn't back down from any one, gets my vote. That whole Jermaine O'Neal situation made me fall in love. An he aint scared to finish at the rim like a grown man too! Shhiiiiit I got a serious man crush on him. Instead of Ginobili an Aryers, I Wanna see Ginobili an Baynes! An Bellineli thrown in the mix. OMFG
Then people call him Genius! Not taking anything away from him but it's clear to us an the world. Baynes is a better option than Aryers. I told a coworker about Baynes at the beginning of the season an he said, "if he's at ok Pop will play him". He later came back saying he's never heard or seen a Baynes before. Oooooo but this morning he was singing a different tune. Asking why Pop dont let him get some burn.
Umm Duncan has been forcing shots back to his right hand from the left block over and again this season. It's a big reason why he keeps getting blocked.
An missing chippiestoo!
