Aaron Baynes...

and gave away 9 offensive boards too...

and gave away 9 offensive boards too...

ok...

Portland had 11 offensive rebounds on the game...

Aldridge was their leader with 5. Baynes was on the floor for only one of those

Chris Kaman had 1, Baynes wasn't in the game

Joel Freeland had 1, Baynes wasn't in the game

Meyers Leonard had 1, Baynes wasn't in the game

Lillard had 3 offensive rebounds, Baynes was in the game for 2

one of them is at 2:15... not much Baynes is supposed to do. i couldn't find footage of the other one



so all your bull aside, the Blazers got 3 offensive rebounds in the 32 minutes Baynes was on the floor

[apalisoc_9]

he had a few blunders that went out of bounds or was saved by a teamate..

I have no idea if you actually watched the game though since a few posters in this thread alone commented on his rebounding and many others in the game thread.

weird..

[spurraider21]

i said i didn't watch the game.

but you're just making up.

- started with "his defense against LMA sucked"... then i showed how LMA did a very small portion of his damage against Baynes.
- then you went to "his rebounding sucked" ... i said he had 9
- then you said he gave up 9 offensive boards... i showed you that is full of

what's next

[apalisoc_9]

- It's as obvious as the sun that the 9 rebound comment is to make a point.

- Part of defense is boxing out and grabbing the defensive boards which he was awful at doing.

- Clearly the picture is referring to his ability rebounding the ball and catching passes..he failed a couple times in the fourth to catch a beautiful pass from kawhi.

[spurraider21]

thats fine, those are fair criticisms. though i dont think 9 boards in 32 minutes is a horrible number. portland did have a bunch of "team rebounds" and i'll take your word that a few of those were on baynes

btw you never told me where you got your post up #'s for Duncan... i want to check out what other stats are on that site

Baynes is fine, he's a 4th big, of course he's going to be flawed, tbh..

I don't think there are many 4th bigs that are better than him, tbh..

Gonna have to agree with my nig spurraider, Baynes was fine last night; both from a boxscore and eye-test perspective.

For a 4th big he is pretty good, but last night he had to play the role of the 2nd big and IMO the numbers lied.

He missed key rebounds that would have been huge for the team and gave Portland second chance opportunities that they buried us with. He also had a fumble on a pass late in the game.

I don't know why he's so poor at grabbing rebounds. He just doesn't seem to be able to grab the ball and instead seems to tip it away.

Baynes just was a little unlucky against Portland, but so far he gave us good minutes this season. Nice stroke from the FT line too ...
