I have been saying this since the first game of the season. Start Baynes.

Well of course.

Horford is a better defender as a PF.

A thousand times yes. Since Stevens began inserting Baynes back into the starting lineup, he adds another dimension to our team with his size and rebounding.

Allows Horford to focus on being a power forward and the team just simply clicks.

I HATE when Stevens trots out Morris/Horford at the 4-5 position.

That lineup needs to be canned, asap.

Within the first five minutes of the Miami game the other night, Baynes already had two offensive put-backs into the net.

Same as last year. With Horford/Baynes upfront the Celtics can be the best defensive team in the league.

Off the top of my head that duo would be comfortably the best defensive big man duo in the league.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)

C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)
