Stan said this about Glen Davis post game...

"He is not playing well, and I'm not sure his mind's on the right things right now"

too much shooting, not enough defense?

Bingo, although his defense has been average for the most part. People were complaining about Bass being a black hole, well it seems Big Baby is no different and has a worse shot selection. I'm still looking for those "intangibles" that he is going to bring to this team because he has not really brought any type of energy or enthusiasm when he comes in the game. I do not like the fact that he is sulking for not being the starter when Ryan is clearly outplaying him and is the better player overall.

I have faith he will come around and be a leader coming off the bench for this team. We need him to play the type of team and individual defense that he displayed for the Celtics along with playing with a high energy in the paint on offense.

I am impressed that the Magic came out strong in the 3rd quarter to totally thwart any chance for a Bullets comeback. WELL DONE!

Hughes Wafer Clark Harper only getting 3-4 minutes in a blowout vs the worst team in the league

Cmon Stan give those guy some practice

I was wanting him to get them in a little earlier, too, but to be fair, the way they played when they did get in somewhat vindicated Stan waiting so long. Disorganised offense, lots of players out for their own and taking bad shots, and matador defense. After Q made that 3 with about two minutes left, we got outscored 10-0 in the last 90 secs or so.

They hardly proved themselves worthy of PT.

Earl Clark was the biggest offender for all that, IMO. i was quite disappointed, but i understood he's got something to prove.

The thing is, I can understand the desire, almost desperation, to go out their and showcase yourself when you're in a situation where you're out of the rotation and you've only got garbage time to prove what you can do. But do these guys realise who they are dealing with? SVG isn't going to be impressed if you pound the ball for half the shot clock before shooting, whether you make them or not.However, you could finish with a 0-0-0-0-0 in 5 minutes statline, but if you went out there and defended your man, made your rotations, and looked to move the ball for good shots on offense, SVG would fall head over heals for you.

He probably is confused as to why Orlando traded for him if they were going to use him as Ryan Anderson's backup.

He's Glen Davis, he gets confused about a lot of things.

He needs to understand that the team comes first, and if that means he plays from the bench now, or for the entire duration of his contract, then so be it. If he wants more minutes then he needs to get his head right and start playing sensible basketball. He's better than this, we all know it, time for him to prove it.

You would think they should know what to do to impress SVG, but those 4 minutes pretty much showed they have no clue. Its a shame because if Earl Clark knew team defense, he'd be a great defensive weapon to have out there behind Turk.

Maybe it's just a desperate desire to impress, and you back to the most basic of basketball desires, to put the ball in the hoop. Similar to what Baby has said in that interview today - perhaps they just want to do too much and end up forcing things.

I agree about Earl. If he would just focus on defense and rebounding, he'd be a big asset and would probably command significant minutes.
