I liked how he played against the sixers scrubs tonight... got a few solid rebounds, and what not...
Even though I've been a little disappointed in Baynes so far this season, I really do think he's still the better player between the two.
Hopefully Baynes can build off of this game and keep improving.

ty take is ty
Today showed that Manu is building some nice P&R chemistry with Baynes which will be necessary when Splitter returns to the starting lineup. No playing against starters should make look Baynes as good as he looked against Philly.
tough, big banger, 5 fouls to give cheap big.
We are in desperate need of a big banger thats tough.
He shot 28% on shots from 10-23 feet last season, he has cut down on them (for now at least) which is smart. He has a solid touch but can't knock them down at a good rate. Would be nice if he developed a Kurt Thomas jumper. That would give us spacing at both backup big spots.
Wow, that is pretty poor and I didn't realize he was that bad, but I think he just needs a little time with Mr. Engelland and to get up a ton more jumpers in practice. Also, more time on the court will help with gaining rhythm. Let's hope he builds on this last game in general.
Apparently, he rails them in practice, sort of like Shaq and his FTs.
Really? Damn it, Baynes.
Gotta do better if he wants to play once The Golden God is back.
Baynes could do a lot worse if he were to model his shooting game after Boris.
Boris has such a soft touch from the 3pt line but he probably makes more tear drops
than anyone one on the team. Then he has that nice 15ft jumper, add in a reverse layup.
If Baynes could shoot like that .......Chip..Chip...
IMO, you, Hoops Czar, and TD21 are the tiest posters here as it concerns basketball insight. I think the midget parroting Memphis marketing slogans and KBP Greece worship are you guys' rivals in the poster category.
Reading your posts, I sometimes wonder if you watch the games. You talk like you look to your stat splits and are unable to talk about basket ball as it's played on the court.
Wgaf if he shoots poorly on the 3 or 4 shots he takes a night as much as his ability to play defense. I thought he played god awful versus Boogie and company but to me it was his defense that was the worst. Yet here you are with your stat line.
Did he even shoot more than 2 dozen of those shots?
I'm an Aussie so I obviously want Baynes to do very well, but some posters here had some very unrealistic expectations.
He pretty much is what he is. An average 4th big man in the NBA, or an above average 5th bigman.
Which is still better than Ayres, who is probably a below average 3rd big man down at the local division 2 mens Monday night rec center comp, tbh
Sooner than later, teams are going to break down video on him this season, and the opposing big will just follow Manu to the hoop, daring Baynes to shoot.
No one respects you, though. But don't worryI'll actually read your posts
From what I've seen of Baynes so far he has the hands of Olden Polynice. The guy fumbles every other pass thrown his way lol.
I quote him because he mentioned that Baynes should shoot more from the outside but I replied with his percentages on those shots an now I don't how how to "talk about basketball as its played on the court"
He took 42 shots from 10-23 feet last season and knocked them down at at 28% clip.
I watch quite a few games ( more than 70 last season). I 'm not convinced your completely objective about Baynes .
I've been critical and I've also gave props when he played well (i.e. Portland game 2). For the money he is getting payed he isn't going to be a perfect player but there are still some flaws to his game.
Defensively there are some issues but it can corrected in time hopefully. I didn't love is defense on the final possession against NOP.
He probably should have covered ADs right and forced him to go left and finish with his left. But that can't be all on him he needs playing time to learn things like that. He played him physically.
Yeah cause your a better poster that TD21
Watching the cleveland game. He's fumbled at least 3 passes in the first half.
Spurs fans are spoilt, expecting elite hands from a deep bench big.
Yes, Duncan, Diaw and Splitter catch everything whether under the hoop, on the run etc - but they are elite.
Baynes hands aren't to bad for a 4th/5th big. Don't underestimate how hard it is to catch passes that are coming from weird angles from Manu, Diaw and Parker.
So we know what his eventual sink/swim moments will be. Hope he throws it in the bucket 45% of the time on those open shots. Lofty goal/big wish, I know.
45% on midrange is ELITE. Expected would be maybe 37% for someone with a jump shot. From Baynes? He should give up the ball.
Eh. Probably right.
But hopefully he can swing 2 out of every 5 of those.
Speak for yourself.No one respects you, though. But don't worry
