Baynes with some good minutes so far. He's shutting down DH.
Sort of off topic but if the league were really serious about making the games fairly called, they would condemn crap like this. Just because a nobody sets a screen doesn't make it any more illegal than when KG, Duncan, or Howard set it.

Baynes ting on Spurstalk
if he was able to catch those Duncan passes he would be sitting at 8 points with a jumpshot and great D
He is strong as a bull.
Definitely no problem shoving Howard off the block.
Notice how when Bonner/Blair are out there Howard is all swinging elbows and throwing at ude/cheap shots at Parker/Cory Joseph but when Baynes is on him that at ude is in check. He didnt once try to throw a bow at that big boy
He's nothing but a punk bully. Wants no part of the Aussie who's bigger than him
Baynes is Superman's kryptonite...BREAK HIS BACK...I mean hack-a-Dwight
Baynes had the play of the game imo frustrating howard enough to get him ejected.
He has to work on his hands for sure, but I really like what I saw from him this game. He's a good body to throw out there, not really an offensive threat but he can body up on the opposing team's biggest guy and frustrate the outta them. I imagine he'll be a great resource if we end up seeing Bogut.
I'm thinking Baynes ends up as a more athletic, outback-redneck Will Perdue.
His job this offseason? ing ball handling drills. Improve those hands, work on that mid range jumper, and stay hungry....
Very nice performance from Baynes tonight. Howard was absolutely flustered by someone who could not bully in the paint physically. As others have said, he needs to work on his hands, but I could see him being a very good role player as soon as next year.
No!....just no!
'Redneck' is an insult in Australian terminology, plus Baynes is a city boy.
Why do people say he's not an offensive threat? He's showed on several occasions the ability to finish at the rim with authority and pretty nice touch on his 14-18 foot jumper. Might not be consistent,but he's showing a solid offensive game so far.
Yeah, the fact that he has an NBA ready jumper will open up everything else in his game.
Too bad he missed that put-back dunk.
I really like Baynes at center next to Duncan. It sorta reminds me of the Rasho Nesterovic days. Say what you will about Rasho, but he was the perfect combination of passiveness and effectiveness that you want starting next to your superstar forward/center.
If Baynes can be anything close to the defender Rasho was, the Spurs will be really good. If Baynes can learn to catch a pass that hits him in the hands, the sky's the limit.
All Spurs defenders not named Timothy were getting ragdolled by Howard. Then came Baynes.
mission accomplished. - baynes
Can see him helping against Memphis front line
I can see Baynes improving in the years to come. Great prospect but he's gotta wanna improve. His greatest strength will be his size
Not only is his pure size as asset, he's not a tree out there. The guy runs the floor extremely well for a big his size.
How many first page posters are still choking on your plate of crow? If baynes can defend Howard like that, whos left that's bigger?? Ive been a baynes fan since day 1 and have always thought he could help in short spurts, instead of seeing our other, undersized options get abused...badly! Is this a step in the right direction? I doubt it..as everyone saw the floor tonight. I still think he can really help this team moving forward though.
the dude just shut down howard
guy is strong as , he couldnt have played him better, imo he defended howard better than duncan did, that's saying a lot
howard kept getting pushed way out of his sweet spot and the most impressive thing is that baynes defended without fouling
howard![]()
