Oh Baby!

really proud of him 8)

BBD definitely was a force last night. I will point out though that he was the only starter with a 3 in /. So there is room for some defensive improvement. But all in all you can’t ask for much more from a 2nd pick. Now if only Danny had signed him and not Pruitt to a 3 year deal.

Byrdman, if my memory is correct, BB and his agent wanted a 2 year deal so he can, I believe, become an unrestricted free-agent sooner.

Maybe a little off-topic. The numbers of KG, RA, and PP are down. KG no longer is a frequent double double. Did we make a bad deal? No, the numbers are down because they no longer need to be as high as they were. They are playing more team basketball. They have consistent relief from the bench. They are working harder defensively which is taking away their legs and thus their scoring in some instances. This also shows the fallacy of individual stats. What do youse all think?

To add to the above and be back on topic: BB would not have become this good this fast on the teams of the past few years. Just shows playing with quality vets leads to faster development of young players as opposed to their playing with a group of young, inexperienced players.

I don’t care about the Big 3 numbers, its all about winning – and I agree with TrueGreen in the “fallacy of individual stats.”

I’m still waiting for BBD to show us his 15-17 jumper which was deadly in the SEC. This guy is a lot of fun to watch; I love it when he’s playing and when “Good Rondo” shows up.

Very happy for him. He definately played well last night. His energy made a big difference in the third quarter.

You have to be encouraged by the young guys stepping up.

Baby had the butterflies – priceless. Refreshing perspective for a rook.

There have been 20 games played now. Under the 20 game rule, I think you can now say the Celtics are really good. I don’t care what people say about the schedule.

How wonderful to have an off the bench “fan favorite” who can actually play good basketball in multiple phases of the game. Getting KG and Jesus was big, but when you add the offseason acquisitions of Posey, House, and Pollard with the drafting of Baby, there’s no way Danny doesn’t get GM of the Year.

I am also off topic but, could anyone explain me that stat of /-? I simply dont understand what it means

BBD didn’t play that well in the first half. Defensive lapses. But he was excellent in the 3rd quarter.

I thought Big Baby was the 2nd game story. The premier story was the smothering defense when they came out for the 4th Qtr with the game on the line.

Sacramento was better than I thought they’d be. With Martin and Bibby it would be a really good team. Artest is the same infuriating good player. Udrih, Garcia nice scorers. Mikki Moore, Brad Miller decent bigs. They could have taken us last night except for the defensive wall we put up in Q4.
As for BBD, he did look very good and 10-10 in free throws is a skill not seen from Perk. Very exciting to watch a young guy get it.

With a possible 80 plus games left if we make it to the end of the playoffs, this will give players like BBD and LP time to fit in for the playoff run.
