Baynes is still the fourth big. Dude is awful on D. Splitter all the sudden can't catch, with is concerning.
We're in trouble if he's our best big behind Duncan. Where the is the Splitter and Diaw that we saw last year?

He earned the starting spot. I thought he played well tonight.
Tiago and Diaw fell off the parade boat.
offensively. Defensively he was terrible. Splitter and Diaw aren't much better right now though.
EXACTLY. He's still the fourth big but with the way Splitter and Diaw are playing, he is currently our second best big. Things aren't going well when your fourth big is outplaying your other big men. Not to take away from what Baynes has done (he's earned that starting spot for now), but we need Diaw and Splitter playing well if we want a chance to repeat.

Splitter's always been a liability athletically, but he's made up for it with his good post defense. But for some reason, this year he looks like he's lost even more athleticism. Just really tough for him to battle out there with these elite athletes. He gets beat on the glass by almost every center he plays right now. Needs to pick it up cause he's an important part of this team's success.
I didn't think he was that bad defensively, all things considered... he could've probably grabbed a couple more rebounds, but Splitter and Bobo right now are terrible, on both ends. Bad decisions, careless... maybe they give you a solid 5 mins, but it's too little...
Baynes is making like 1.5 mil or some . Tiago and Diaw have been trash this whole year. They aren't even living up to their contract for the year.
Baynes is giving you 10X what you could expect from him and it's not enough? you man.
I didn't know that Errors hands were contagious.....
Splitter has got a case of the Stone Hands right now.
Calm down, I didn't say that. Baynes has done more than his share, but we need Splitter and Diaw to step up if we want to win. This is not a dig aimed at Baynes but rather at Splitter/Diaw.
Diaw has been proven to be a massive defensive liability anytime he can't be hidden. And offensively he hasn't been as good as last year. That's the main issue with our bigs situation
Not just Diaw it's patty too recently. Baynes is doing his job and well enough to deserve his salary. We should be happy about that - he is exceeding expectations of him - the issue is elsewhere.
tbh this team would be even more ed without Banes, and most of this forum over the offseason would've been happy to see him go.
Splitter was pissin me the off last night. There was one stretch where he allowed a few easy as baskets, followed by him getting his weak euro bull blocked by Jig Baby Davis fat ass.......just an awful showing.
I agree with this topic.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but I disagree that Baynes has been the second-best big recently. He simply isn't getting it done on defense. No way he shouldn't be on the bench where it's okay to be a glass cannon.
Baynes is total horse
Only reason why Davis got to that shot was because Splitter lost control of the ball on the way up. I actually consider him getting blocked fortunate because if he lost that ball it was a fast break the other direction.
meh, he went against Spencer Haines. He did ok. He's a backup big. Pop is most likely resting our 2 main bigs. I'm worried about Duncan not resting.
And youre a total wit
