Why is he not celebrating Baby's buzzer beater? You see in one shot he's just standing on the court not celebrating the victory. Its just a weird sequence. He even goes up to Big Baby after the buzzer beater to talk in his ear, not giving him much congrats. Ive been overseas with little internet coverage..did I miss something during the game that should have lead to Scal's indifference to the victory or what? It was like he wasnt in the arena.  ???

I don't think that showed any indifference.  It really was tough to tell what he was doing, but I will point out that ever since he came back from the concussion, Scal has been very reserved in his celebrations.  In particular at the begining of games, when the team does a bit of a mosh pit, he stays off to the side, and mock chest bumps with everyone.  I would not be surprised if he was hanging back for the same reason, he did not want to get hit in the head by accident during the celebration.

I did notice something I had never noticed before in that video though.  When Davis ran behind the bench, was he going to Bill Russell?  It certainly looked like him.

It's a lookalike; if you can see a clear video, you'll notice it's not him.

I think Scal was trying to be intense in the video.  Who knows, though?  Maybe he thinks it was premature to celebrate, maybe he didn't want to show up Orlando.  It's hard to say.
