OT: Glen Davis and the importance of an offensive rebound 

Post#1 » by random_hero891 » Sun Jan 6, 2008 3:13 am

This guy just won the game for the Celtics by pulling down a few offensive boards in crunch time, put the fact that he shot 7-9 in 10 minutes playing time, those offensive boards he pulled down really made the difference for Boston this game

I'll give credit to Pierce making some sick plays in crunch time, but I think the sealing play in that game was Davis' offensive board off a Pierce miss.

Big Baby has really gone beyond my expectations for him. I know most people will say that playing on a team with 3 superstars will make most players look better, but he does play with a certain hustle and intensity. He did big things for LSU and he's doing a lot of key things for the Celts now as well.

We have Hump doing those things for us but he needs to stop trying to be so finesse.

The Celtics wouldn't win a 7 game series against the Pistons.

It's pretty easy to rebound and make layups when you got a guy like Pierce attracting three defenders.

It's not a fact just my opinion, but I just think the Pistons have so much more talent 1-12. After the long grind of an 82 game season I don't think the Celts could pull off 4 out of 7 against Detriot.

I guess maybe I'm just bitter I hate how the Celts can go from the worst team in the league to one of the best.

I'm pretty bitter myself, it's awful every time I watch them play I'm like "oh one of the big 3 is going to injure themselves and they'll suck" but they're surprisingly deep to, It's frustrating how we work so hard over the past few years building up, and the Celtics just pull a few strings and bang they're final contenders. Very, very bitter.

Baby gots game, son. Dude was just straight beasting the Pistons front line, Maxiell, Rasheed and McDyess all got a healthy dose baby cakes. Man he came up huge and sealed that game for Boston late. I like him, he's going to be good. Kind of reminds me of Humphries but with better handles around the basket. He can really finish around the basket.

Bosh would be a great offensive rebounder if the offense wasn't run through him. With his length and athelticsm he would get so many put backs and loose balls....especially when bargnani draws out an opposing big

Everyone forgets he was ranked in the top 5 in his class 4 years ago. If it wasn't for his weight issue he would have been a top 5 or ten pick.

yes big baby is doing much better than expected, but as said above - humps can bring the exact same thing when he's playing his best
Bargnani PER
2007 - 12.9
2008 - 10.7
Hollinger predicted 2009 - 11.8
Bryans_Collar HOPES FOR 2009 - 17.0
