Now then, the ball will be in Pierce's hands. Force him to go left and don't double off of Allen. Make one of the other three hit a big shot

Just watched it again. Bill Russell gets up to congratulate Davis when he runs into the stands.

No excuses for the Magic if ESPN's shot chart can be believed. A total of three shots in the paint in the 4th qtr? With all the foul trouble the C's big men had?

"Geez.. Pierce is messing around.. make your move.. he's going to be doubled...shoot it... he passed TO DAVIS? NO!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!"

I actually thought the first option was to see if they laid off Rondo to make sure Pierce and Allen was covered, and Rondo would see if there's an easy drive to the hoop.

Dola: My brother was watching the Sox game on ESPN. He says that when Davis hit that shot, enough of the fans at Fenway started going bonkers (even without the shot being shown on the Jumbotron), that it spooked the hell out of the Rays batter at the plate.

And I have a bad feeling that either the Magic or Celtics will take the Cavs in the next round. They've both been fighting it out every game this post season(boston moreso), and the Cavs haven't played a meaningful game(with any kind of adversity) in over a month.

This is why you don't have fans on the sidelines practically on the court. I am waiting for the NBA to fine him for touching the ref right before that...

this re,minds me of a recent Bill Simmons piece or rather mailbox, where he made a list of game winning celebration stages.
Quote:
Bill Simmons: The Sports Guy answers key questions about the 2009 NBA playoffs - ESPN at the very bottom for Davis it would be more like : "I am so taking all that ridicule i´ve gotten into this celebration and just ramble down the court punching and screaming at everyone until someone stops me. Yeah i´m going to look hilarious but who cares ?" Seriously though, the guy really is growing on me... What was Howard so upset about btw ? Looked very much like a complaining gesture toward someone ? (couldn´t see the game, had to get some good sleep time for once) |

Davis is just a hard-working kid, and it's nice seeing someone who doesn't have like the prototypical nba physique or whatever have some good success.
i liked the pick of him when they made it - always thought he had the potential, but it's nice to see him developing into a solid option. He's never going to be Garnett (either defensively or with his ability to shoot perimiter jumper's), but he's a wide-body defensively who is willing to take a charge, and if he has the space (because he doesn't elevate well) he can knock down those jump-shots on an improving basis. he'll never be a superstar/#1 option because he can't elevate to create his own jumpshot and he's too short in the post, but he's a very solid complimentary-player and his play down the stretch and in the playoffs has to have earned him a nice payday from the C's. He does the little things well, and every NBA team has room for guys that do the little things well. Last edited by DaddyTorgo : 05-11-2009 at 10:20 AM. |

I think the Celtics will be pretty good in the future with a combo of Davis and Powe at that spot.

I do wonder about the market for Davis during the summer. Hopefully the Cs don't get priced out.

I think he'll get a decent offer, not great though. The NBA economy isn't all that rosey these days. Still, it's tough to find a big body like that who can step out and hit a jumped. I'd love to have him setting picks for Derrick Rose.

MLE for 3years is probably the upper limit of what he will get. Boston can match any offer as well. It will basically come down to how much luxury tax they want to pay.

I don't know if they'll lock both Powe and Big Baby up. Both are FAs this summer, so it will be interesting. Powe's injury may scare enough teams away though, that the C's may be able to keep him cheap, and then divert more funds to keep Baby. |

When I said very lucrative, that is about where I was thinking of as well. 3 years for 15-17 million which is a very nice pay day in comparision to his first deal. |

Is the max an RFA can receive equal to the MLE? I've heard that they started doing that not too long ago, but I've never really seen anything else on it. |

Yes, only because he falls under the Gilbert Arenas provision which applies to RFA with 2 or less years of experience. |

The maximum the year one salary can be is the MLE, then I believe the year 2 salary can be as much cap room as the offering team has. The Gilbert provision was more about making sure a team could match if they had no space available(as long as they kept their MLE available). But yeah, 3 years 15m seems like a likely point where someone will offer. I'd probably rather pay that to Davis, then whatever god knows what Anderson Varajao's agent holds out for. Andy's like the quintessential 6m/year player, and it might get ugly like it did last time. |

Magic Fan Calls Davis 'Raging Lunatic,' Demands Apology Orlando Magic fan Ernest Provetti is demanding an apology from Boston Celtics player Glen "Big Baby" Davis after Davis' buzzer-beater shot won the game Sunday. Provetti said Davis shoved his son Nicholas, 12, with such force after Davis made the game-winning jumper, that Nicholas' cap was tossed into the air and his son pushed into his courtside seat. Provetti sent an e-mail to the NBA League office Monday morning, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "The NBA makes it clear to not cross the sideline," he told the newspaper. "If I cross that line, the NBA will take away my tickets. It's a double standard." In the e-mail, Provetti said Davis conducted himself like a "raging animal with no regard for fans' personal safety." "How do you like to be a 12-year-old and see a raging lunatic coming at you?" Provetti said he used to be a Celtics fan because admired coach Doc Rivers. |

If I was that 12-year old kid I would think getting run into by an NBA player was the coolest thing EVER.
Of course, that 12-year old kid is probably rich and spoiled, and totally jaded by such things. Last edited by molson : 05-11-2009 at 06:25 PM. |

I was going to post the latest stupidity found on the interwebz but I see you've already discovered Mr. Provetti.
Good thing there wasn't a loose ball play over there I guess, he'd be looking for part ownership in the team.
