C’mon C’s. The season hasn’t even started yet and we’ve already got guys lining up on the injured list.

what a dope.Athletes never fail to disappoint me with their stupidity. They get paid tons of money and are treated like kings and yet they still manage to do some of the dumbest things possible. WHy would you get into a fight with your" buddy" 2 days before the season opener? Why would you even invite a jerk like that to stay with you? Oh well, it’s nothing new to sports fans but it’s still disappointing. Here’s hoping SHelden plays well and takes advantage of the opportunity. I like Baby but he let us down.

What else is there to say.

Best of luck to Williams. Maybe he’ll surprise me as I wasn’t that impressed in the pre-season.

How long is Scal out?

Because Wyc sounds really pissed. I’d be curious to find out what else BBD has done to irritate Wyc, b/c I can’t imagine he’d make those quotes off of just this one incident.

Maybe Ainge should have put a clause in his contract for common sense along with the weight clause!!!!!

A suspension may be warranted, or maybe not, depending on the circumstances. But if this is just a move to save a few bucks (like their refusal to resign Leon Powe), I hope the players’ association files a grievance and wins.

I don’t think there were big minutes planned for Glen. He wants minutes even though he’s playing behind 2 All Star vets and is undersized at PF and C.

I like his game, but I suspect the short term deal was done so Doc would have injury insurance and Danny would have an attractive trade piece if someone he covets becomes available.

Consequences – consequences. Hopefully some lost paychecks will send a message to Davis. Brick may have a point. But if there are no consequences, what’s to stop Davis from doing something like this in the future?

Same can be said for Delonte.

If Glen is out for the season or extended time, does anyone know what if anything the celts can do with his roster spot?

Is this the opening for Sweetney? Does that roster spot open up if Glen is out indefinetly?

Also, when could we trade glen? I know with restricted FA who sign the qualifier, I’m not sure if/when we could trade him.

Sheldon may be better complement to Sheed in the second unit, since he stays down low more and focuses on rebounding.

With all the time off he better not get fat again!

He was giving off a I’m-going-to-rip-down-your-nameplate vibe in that interview.

Wyc’s anger leads me to two hypotheses:
1. Baby was doing something pretty stupid when he broke his thumb.
2. Baby’s going to be out a lot longer than 2 months because the thumb was severely broken and will require extensive surgery.

You only get mad if Baby did something dumb and that dumb thing was so dumb it resulted in a severe injury. 2 months isn’t so bad, especially at the beginning of a season. 3 or more months (or the season, which I still find hard to believe) can make a guy angry, understandably so…

Last, I’ll say that even if it was self-defense, a suspension still makes sense because you have to teach Baby a lesson and hopefully help him mature a bit. Unless severe bodily harm was a-coming, that is. If you’re protecting life and limb, I don’t know how you could suspend somebody for that.

Still waiting to hear the details and the prognosis—until then, my judgment is partially reserved.

The LA Times sports section is likening this Lakers team to the six time champion Bulls. What a way to start the season. Baby stupid injury combined with the negative aspects of Rondo’s rejection of an offer casts a shadow over things. All of a sudden we’re fragile.

A broken thumb isn’t that serious unless it’s a compound fracture. I broke a thumb skiing about 25 years ago and I had full use of the hand in about 5-6 weeks, and that was without surgery.

No matter how stupid BBD’s behavior was, a suspension seems petty and vindictive to me.

Baby is expected to miss 3-4 months! That’s around the All-Star break.

Now we know why Wyc was ticked off. Must be a pretty bad fracture. This is terrible news for Baby and the Cs. Baby needs to take the break as a wake up call and work on his maturity.

should have had his thumb up his a$$ instead his head.

would have kept it much safer.

I thought I heard this somewhere… Is this what he was doing when he got hurt? Maybe they told him they didn’t want him doing it???? I did martial arts for 10 years and would have to say it one of the best ways to get in shape so if this is what he was doing I might need to give him somewhat of a pass. However if they told him not to and he did it anyway I can totaly see getting mad…

It may be a little less easy, but we will be ok. Good way to trivialize yourself. Glenn who?

so we let Leon go because he’s hurt and won’t be able to help us until February or so and then we re-sign Baby and make him the man. Now Glen is hurt and out 8 weeks and Leon is better and is talking about playing. And all it would have take to keep Leon was about $1M or less. TO top it all off Leon signs with our main rival the Cavs and is super pissed and motivated to beat us. Did I get that right? Way to go Basketball Gods- YOU GOT US AGAIN!!!!

Wyc has every right to suspend BBD.

A “smart” Baby will fully embrace how stupid he acted, and wallow in the pain for the next month or so. Then, use this experience to mature, and work harder than ever to maximize his abilities on the court.

He`ll be back well before the season is over. What he shows us then will illustrate what he is really made of!

From what I’ve read, it depends where it’s broke and it can range up to 6 months with a higher break better than a lower one.

It’s not easy dealing with the media. When you’re doing an interview, the questions come fast and furious and you’re answering off the top of your head many times. If you’re not used to it, you can easily say something you regret. Danny’s a pro at this… if he says something, it’s because he wants to and he knows the consequences. His response to the BBD situation is perfect. Wyc screwed up, said what was on his mind, and probably without knowing all the facts. Certainly there was nothing to be gained, and plenty to potentially lose, by airing his unformed and uninformed thoughts about possible suspension to the media.

As for Davis… many are saying how stupid this all is, and it does sound stupid. But please, WE DON"T KNOW what happened. We see one word, “altercation”, and we jump to conclusions. I think that we, like Danny, should reserve judgment until all the facts are known.

I’m sorrier to lose Scal than I am over Baby. The good news is that his sprain should be ok in a week or two. Anyway, all these guys are secondary and tertiary to the core of this team, which remains intact. (But if they ever lose Eddie… that would be serious. They would finally see how critical he is to their success.)

Per WEEI at http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/214767/source-davis-out-6-8-weeks-after-surgery

Wyc’s response (included in the above article) sounds much more reasoned the 2nd time around.

Otherwise, Leon Powe would still be a Celtic and JR Giddens would be playing elsewhere (probably Europe, because he’s not NBA ready),

It’s a regrettable incident, and a teachable moment. Somebody bothers your girl and sucker punches you, tell me that you wouldn’t retaliate? Baby’s human and he’ll learn from this. His press release shows the right amount of remorse. Wyc sounds like he’ll just fine him and not suspend him. Sounds fair, even if Baby isn’t technically at fault.

Do we know it’s not Tyrus Thomas?

fracture has to be better than a break doesn’t it? although the healing time is probably the same. wyc is allowed to be pissed off. you pay these guys millions of dollars and you tell them over and over not to hang with the wrong people and not to put yourself in bad situations and especially not 2 days before the season starts. These guys are NOT free to do whatever they want. there is too much invested in them for them to put themselves at risk whether it;s riding a motorcycle or staying out too late with a drunken , beliigerent friends.

At his age, getting into a fight with a friend over something said is pathetic. Idiot.

A special offseason and the makings of a special season! Glen Davis has now tainted it!
IR or PUP his some what less fat winey butt! Then cut TA or trade he and J.R. To make room and go sign some one else to take babys minutes. Just because he had a good post season doejst make u a star bbd! U were inconsistand at best through out the entire season! Yeah u played well in kg’s absence! Yeah u worked hard in the off season but that garuntees u nothing. What’s best for the team allways wins out! Right now I’m not sure your best for our team! I was your fan bbd! Now your just a pussy version of ron arrest and stephan Jackson and eddie curry! Wyc should unload your blind to the championship vision ungreatcull ass asap! Don’t let kg or the door hit ya where wyc split ya!

he was getting MMA training during the offseason, if he put that training into good use he could have knocked out his friend, not hurt his thumb and we would not even be discussing this!
