Looked to me like the refs got all three calls correct. Two offensive fouls and a defensive blocking foul. EDIT: There was also a no-call in there that was correct, so I guess that makes four.

Wow... Isn't he like a "physical" player? He did get those calls though... I hate the argument the 90s was more physical, but can you imagine a David Robinson falling like that to draw fouls


So. This means that there was like 20 unsuccessful tries to injure somebody like he did with Steph.

People said Luka isn't athletic, but i guess he has Shaq level strenght if Baynes bounces to the great every time they come into contact, without even looking to do so.

I really like Baynes, but you can't possibly say this aren't flops.

In fairness to Baynes, what's a guy to do these days?
You can't get physical back, as that's an automatic foul, and if you just take the contact over and over until the guy is a couple feet from the basket, it's basically an automatic bucket.
Hard to fault a guy for exaggerating the offensive contact imo. They don't really have any other options when they aren't allowed to be even a little bit physical while offensive players get away with murder.

Screw Aron Baynes, I hate when guys that big try and flop in the post. Reminds me of Kurt Thomas.

Dude, pause the video at 0:17 and you see how he falls back BEFORE any contact is made. Half of the time he was exaggerating minimal contact, the other half he completely flopped all over the court. He also pulled the famous Chris Paul bitch move where he crossed Wrights path midcourt just to flop

I love Baynes. Yeah he was flopping some last night, but so what. He's a good solid role player and he's made every single team he's ever been on better for his presence on it.
