Victory Cigar - Celts vs. Magic 1/22/09

[sunshinekids99]

Cigar count is on the start of each game page.

I went with Pierce, but nice to see BBD winning one.

Big Baby's cigar for sure. I hate getting into the whole Baby vs. Powe thing because in the end if Baby had Powe's determination and effort he would have been a top 5 pick. But Glen Davis has talent, if he can get that jump shot going again, it only has to be at about 40%, his play will pick up so much on the defensive end and the glass were he has been actually keeping a job in the league which somewhat surprising.

I can think of a lot of things to worry about with Davis but handling big slow centers that want to shoot over him is what he does best, he is great against centers like Ilgauskaus and Yao. Baby's problem is the guys that make him move his feet and want go over the top of him because he isn't quick enough to set himself.

I think we could still use a longer front court defender but in the end if Baby, Powe, and Scal are effective then there is a lot of parts there.

Pierce...my Baby-hatred (and one good game in a long while) cannot allow me to vote for him!

Davis's 4th quarter performance was the Back Breaker for the Magics thus my vote goes to BBD

Right for me it was the timing of the scoring that made baby deserve the cigar he scored over 12 points in the 4th quarter and at one point he had scored 8 consecutive celtics points, he prevented orlando from getting back into the game.

Definitely agree. Normally I don't like voting scrubs for VC if other guys had better overall games, but Davis straight up kept the game from going awry during "bench scrubs time" when it looked like Orlando would make a run.

Had to go with Baby. They gambled on leaving him open on those midrange J's (probably the correct strategy based on his shooting percentages) and he killed them with it. His defense has also been unreal lately. He gets the defensive rotations so well.

BBD. If I had the time I'd post a nice screengrab of Baby Herman (the cigar-smoking baby from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?") in this thread.
