He is not getting it done. To slow for back door cuts. Embarrassing

Baker has had good moments for us and yes he gets a lot of criticism here and that can sometimes take ugly turns and that's unfortunate.

But he really compromises us defensively and compounds that by not being able to rebound near to the level of someone his size and playing the position that he does. And if you isolate on him defensively, you can really see how significant his issues are there, it was glaring last night.

The significance of it is that he almost has to score 20 points and be very efficient offensively to justify his minutes. He's done that a few times this year, but was not even close to that last night.
