Aron Baynes is still awesome

I just had to get this picture from the AP photo wire on the front page before it goes away. Who among us thought that Baynes would be playing in an All-Star game four years ago? What a beast. I'm going to miss these pictures of him doing all he can to pull the backboard down to the floor.

Nice caption, too

Did you write that or did it come from the AP?

I wrote it

The AP one used the word “Slam” which I feel has become a bit outdated.

This is where per game statistics go to die.

I was going to say, if that came from AP, that would be better writing from a photographer than I've seen in my entire career

"That's a big dude"

“I’m staying out of his way”

Klay looking over to Harthun and smiling

Think that might have been when Ken Bone said he loves players that can shoot the 3?

Harthun should get a lot of opportunities to prove he really can shoot. He at least should fill a role similar to Chris Matthews and probably much bigger. I hope he works on getting stronger from now until next fall.
