How much do Celtics miss Aron Baynes? Quite a bit, these stats show

The Boston Celtics suffered their worst loss of the season Saturday night with a 126-116 defeat in Chicago to the Bulls. Chicago is one of the NBA's worst teams with a 16-44 record, and it also was playing in the second game of a back-to-back.
It didn't matter, however, as the Celtics were outscored 36-18 in the second quarter and allowed Bulls guard Zach LaVine and forward Lauri Markkanen to score a combined 77 (!) points overall.
Boston's defense struggled throughout the night, making it painstakingly obvious this team misses veteran center Aron Baynes, who's currently out of the lineup with a left foot contusion. He provides valuable defense (especially at the rim), leadership and a threat to shoot from the outside. He also is physically strong enough to defend the league's top centers, such as Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, 1-on-1 without constant double teams.
The difference in the Celtics' stats with and without Baynes are striking. Sean Grande of 98.5 The Sports Hub illustrated that point with a few interesting stats in the tweet below.

@SeanGrandePBP can we get the Celtics record with and without Baynes?

In addition to Baynes' current foot problem, he also suffered a broken bone in his left hand in December.
There is no set date for his return to game action, and the Celtics need him back as soon as possible. They are 4-4 since Baynes went out with his foot contusion, and Boston has several tough matchups coming up on its schedule over the next two weeks, including games against the Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors.

MY NOTE: I love this because it reminds me of what we all saw, and knew to be true, when Larry played. Basketball is not about who can run the fastest or can jump the highest. It's about being in the right place at the right time and making good decisions. It's also about playing hard all the time. Aron Baynes might be one of, if not THE, slowest, most earth-bound players in the league and yet...Get well quickly, Baynesy. We need you.

Aron Baynes is a key, albeit unassuming, dynamic on this team.
He wears his big boy pants to work everyday.

Undoubtedly, the team misses Baynes.
No way to deny his work ethic and toughness.
The problem, as I see it, is his ability to stay healthy and on the floor. Great attitude, fills the bill for one of those badly needed bigs, but the injuries keep coming. My guess is his career is going to be pretty limited at this point, giving further urgency to finding bigs this offseason.
