Yeah I fear that Baynes might not be intelligent enough to pick up what he needs to get major blow on the Spurs. He does look lost far too often.
You must be real young. Like 18 or something. You keep coming back to this popularity bull . It doesn't register with me.
And of course you come with the SBMish after the fact trolling claim.
Little style and no style. You must be an apple fan.

Nah, when you have to dig that deep to find a intangible, there probably isn't one to be found. Whether it was offense or defense, Baynes wasn't part of the solution, he was part of the problem. You aren't alone. I admit, I was blinded by Bayne's high beams to start the season but the more and more I watch him play, the more he reminds me of streetball player who lacks the structure, focus and discipline to play system basketball. Ayres sucks, but now, there's a very plausible explanation why Pop keeps running the floor with him instead of Baynes. With all the injuries, there is no true back up to Ayres right now and Baynes is walking proof of that.
His game last night was up and down, but mostly down. The good, he was able to set good screens and clear the way for others. And the pass to De Colo was nice.
The bad was very worrying though. His stamina has always been bad, but it was downright terrible against Detroit. It isn't getting better, it's getting worse. He was completely spent by the 8:00 mark of the first quarter. Now, because of his infrequent minutes, I'd understand the stamina issue hurting in the second half of a game, like if he was closing in on 20 minutes.
But being too exhausted to get a hand up, or rotate, or run the floor, after four measly minutes? That's ridiculous. He was empty.
It was excusable last year. But he's had a whole summer. He had a training camp. He had opportunities with the Toros. He shouldn't be this exhausted. His blown gasket is making him play poorly, to a degree that I don't think it was before.
Very disappointing.
Free Baynes? FOR WHAT? He is very limited in his damn game, Baynes...... That is more like it.
I missed tonight's game, but there is no way in that Baynes is worse than Ayres. His conditioning would be a reasonable explanation though for why he's glued to the bench...
The whole Baynes is greater than, less than, or equal to Ayers argument is futile. Both are not NBA caliber big men and should never be relied upon to play minutes except during blow outs. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to add another quality big, so we're stuck with them. Get used to it.
Baynes ing SUCKS! He's a ing statue on defense. FL, Ayres may or may not be able to "move his hips", but Baynes can't move ANY part of that lumbering body even remotely in the way of a guard on his way to the hoop. He also can't throw even ONE fake before tossing up a sacrificial offering to be swatted back by the likes of Kyle Singler.

Pop apparently disagrees. Ayers got 3 fouls in the 1st half. He then started Ayers in the 2nd half over Baynes. Its starting to become obvious, at least to me, Pop has almost no faith that Baynes can be anything more than extra body this season. He does have some talent but Ayers and him basically do the same things with both having a glaring flaw (Ayers-Turnovers, Baynes-Fouling)
