RIP Aron Baynes the basketball player. You lived a great life full of being a large man who Gregg Popovich decided to randomly feature as a starting big man from time to time. Now you can go somewhere else and be Aaron Baynes the large man in peace.
The dunk was also a nice reminder that James Harden can be pretty fun when he isn’t just drawing fouls. He should do things like dunk on players more often to keep that fact fresh. We would all appreciate it. here.
With three starters out the Spurs are understandably getting run out of the building by the Rockets right now. At the end of three Houston leads 81-55 and Dwight Howard has had his fair share of dunks tonight as well. As it turns out the Rockets may be really, really good, even with their offseason losses.
