Baby = Problem....

[ryaningf]

What, players want to play? God, what a revelation. Seriously, Baby has a knack for being a little too forthcoming, but I don't see anything wrong with that. Did he wish some team gave him a starting spot? Yes, he did, and most players entering free agency would as well. Does he wish he could get more minutes? Yes, most reserves think that too. What's the big deal?

People want guys to speak and play like robots and once an ounce of humanity and emotion comes out they start calling them p*ssys. Baby's emotion is what gives him an edge, yet people see fit to criticize it when it spills over into the paper in the form of feelings felt by any player who's ever played! This article has zero impact on anything. Baby's going to get his 20 minute a night regardless and he'll get over whatever adjustment problems he may or may not be having. He's emotional--which means he has his emotion and then gets over it.

What's actually worse is when people keep emotions on the inside and let them fester for months without doing anything about them, infecting everything they say and do. If you have an emotion and you let it out, it goes away. Baby will be fine. He knows how to let his emotions out.

Wow! I can't believe how some of you are so judgemental. Just because BBD says something that you guys don't agree, you jump on the guy. Where is the love?

It's just like a parent to a child. You do as I say and I'll love you. You go against my word, then I'll turn my back on you. That's not real love. Stop judging people. BBD is not perfect, neither are any one of us. The guy says what is on his mind and I love that about him.

I think this explains what Shelden Williams and Sweetney are doing around. He wants to be moved. Let the offers begin.

[JHTruth]

This Celtic team is really starting to take on a Laker vibe. All this he said-she said drama. It's getting old.

Next we'll be hearing how Rondo ratted out KG for cheating on his wife on the road after Rondo is picked up for Sexual Assault in Florida..

[AlCelticFan]

Lol at this whole thread.

I agree, BB will be fine. He just yaps a lot. But when he gets on the court he's down to business.

I still think he should talk tot he right people about it, not the media. He doesn't know yet that Boston fans are intense

[ParticleMan]

yeah this is seriously much ado about NOTHING.

BBD was asked whether he wants to play more and start. He said yes. Welcome to planet DUH. where's the story here? that he actually said something honest instead of being a Belichickian controlled robot and going "i will do my best and give 110% no matter what role i'm asked to play, i'll just be ready blah blah"?

BBD had better get used to a 20 mpg role. that's his role on any good team in the NBA. of course he thinks more highly of himself, i don't think that's a bad thing and most players do anyways, but get real. he isn't a quality starter.

[sully00]

I don't think he has a problem with 20 he just doesn't want to go back to 10 every other game and that is on him to do something about.

I hear you man. I'm with you regarding talking to the media. Ok so maybe calling him a p*ssy is too much.....but then what grown man cries because one of his teammates scolded him verbally? Come on man....i like Glen's game....i like the passion he plays with....but certain things like this....he should tell the coaches and teammates...keep it in the house.

If you disagree with your boss or a co-worker you talk to them directly....not to another co-worker so they can spread rumors about what you said. You just got paid for having a great year. You didn't get any offers like you wanted in the market but you still got something better compared to the $hitty second round salary you had. I think just think that young players today are too premadona's. They are too soft. So pick up your skirt, grab your b@lls and let's play some basketball...young ones.

hahahaha!

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks there's too much drama going on lately.

Baby really stepped up for us in the absense of KG and Powe, and he put in a lot of work this summer to improve his game and take off some weight. So I can understand his disappointment. It's too bad that Baby can't play some 3, he really should be getting a solid 20mpg. But unfortunately he has 3 guys infront of him at the 4/5, who will be getting at least 27mpg. That means best case, 15mpg for baby in the frontcourt, unless someone gets injured.
I hope BBD doesn't become a problem. We really do need what he brings to the table off the bench.

[captain green]

I'll have to say man I wish Powe was here instead of him but he is talented and KG will put him in his place again. Whatever dude is called big baby for a reason..

[SonicYouth34]

Better to be a reserve backing up KG on a great team, then being a reserve on a team like Memphis backing up Randolph.

[SeizeCoup]

He went for the money the first time around by signing the shorter 2-year contract after being drafted. That sort of threw me off. I also don't like some of the "insider info" i've been privy to from contacts close to the team. Then there was this past off-season where he signed for only two years. Dude is definitely all about the money. He is a me-first attention seeker. I see through his fake hustle. Both KG and Sheed have a lot of miles on those legs, Baby should take this time to learn from the vets, keep on working hard, and wait for his time. And who knows, if any one of Perk, KG or Sheed goes down with an injury (knock on wood) then Baby's time will come sooner than expected. Playing for a championship caliber squad is the best thing for a young guy such as himself. Shut your mouth cry baby.

[AlCelticFan]

Well, I see nothing wrong with wanting the money. I thought him signing a 2 year deal was great. It showed he knew his value, and showed he had a ton of confidence in himself. He's making himself a bunch more money because of that savvy move.

I really can't complain about BB. He's been playing great, and improving on the aspects of his game that Doc has asked him to. To me that's impressive. I don't really see any need to bash him now.

[Fencer reregistered]

The aptly-nicknamed Baby is immature, and he knows it. I think that's probably less destructive than somebody thinking he's more mature than he really is, ala' early Toine.

[Kefa461]

More overblown drama.....and I told you so blogs.....the vets will handle this.....please let the season begin.

[sweatdog]

Overblown on all accounts here.

BBD is simply immature, for his own age no less. Every player wonders if they took the right contract, hired the right agent, made the right decision. Unfortunately, BBD wonders these things out loud and causes a stir. He will grow up eventually, don't sweat it.

How do you know this? How many minutes are you playing?

When you are a good player and you know you are a good player, you would want more playing time. BBD knows he is a good player. I love his confiedence. There is nothing wrong with BBD wanting more minutes. When BBD got more playing time, he stepped up and helped us win games, big games, including a buzzer beater on the road during the playoffs.

I'm glad BBD is on our team. And he will help us win games.
