Baby You're A Firework

little things he does that don’t always get noticed. Not unlike Perkins, his picks and screens are often good and quietly important to an effective offense.

Let me add that he was often actually boxing out Bynum underneath and while Davis didn’t usually get the rebound, he stopped the 7 footer from getting it enough to help the Cs hold service in that category for a change.

As was mentioned in the TV broadcast, I can’t understand how he gets some of that stuff off underneath, but I felt he would be a guy who could figure that part out and he has this season to a great extent.

I was shocked to hear Van Gundy call him his 6th man of the year pick.

Davis has the tools, he just needs to stay focused and continue to develop his game awareness as to what the team needs each game. Personally, I enjoy seeing him add some assists this season, as the second part of establishing a more consistent scoring presence.

Overall, loved the game by the whole team. They looked ready and delivered a convincing win.

dude

took a lot of charges, his specialty was getting in line with the guy running the break, and then letting that guy level him after he passed…

I like the comparison… Posey was a bit over rated that year, but he was solid and ate a lot of minutes and provided lots of positional flexibility, BBD is like that. BBD has one quality Posey didn’t have – he can actually take over a game for a few minutes.

It is a very important one, and no one does it better!

include that half court three that he got fouled on, that one on one play against Bynum where he scored and that charge against Bryant to slow his scoring momentum in the 4th, I was shocked that he got that call too

yeah, Glen is that guy the Lakers front line will forget cause they’re too focused on Shaq and Perkins. He’ll cause all sorts of mismatch problems and can be a difference maker in a 7 game series.

Once Delonte gets back, he’ll be like that too, which increases our chances of getting a ring. How many teams out there have guys of that quality coming off the bench?

Doc once said: “Sometimes he forgets that he’s… Glen Davis.” For a while there, Baby strayed far from home, seemed headed over a cliff. I think the team, headed by Doc no doubt, helped him find his way back. And it’s amazing how EFFECTIVE and IMPORTANT he can be when he stays in his role, recognizes who he is.

And about his abilities— Remember how many times Davis was blocked last season? I think he held the league record for blocks absorbed in the paint, at one point. Then yesterday… he’s SURROUNDED by the tall trees…. and suddenly you see this SPACE forming in the middle, from which a pair of kinda-stubby arms rise up, under which Davis’ body could be seen contorting and bending upwards like some oversized ballerina (yeah!)…. until somehow the ball finds it’s way into the net. It’s just amazing! I’m sure Cs fans everywhere were grinning ear to ear.

This team is full of great athletes, each of them unique. But what Baby does, with the physical tools he has, is the most surprising and gratifying. And the fact that he lost his way and then found it again makes it all even better.

it was Baby, KG, PP, Ray and Rondo. Based on the 7th game last year, thats too small of a lineup, leaving Perk and Shaq on the bench. But it was fine and it was fine because KG was rebounding and Baby plays two inches taller this year.

makes up their mind to hit the defensive glass (like in the 4th Qtr.), they can beat ANYBODY!
Again, the caveat is for this roster IS to be healthy come playoff time. Also, tell me I am not the only one who wants them to dump J. O’Neal, sorry he is useless, should just hang up his sneakers.

i’m glad he didn’t settle for jumpshots
