Does Baby not know how to keep quiet?

He's one to talk considering his play most of the season.

Im confused OP, do you disagree with Big Baby talking before the series? Or do you like it? lol im a little confsued

  I don't mind players that exude a little confidence. Some fans think that the players should wear sackcloth and ashes when they're in a slump.

[CelticSooner]

No I don't like it.

  Celtics do have better bench.

Yeah but we don't need any more reasons to light a fire underneath the Miami Heat (no pun intended).

On paper they do, outside of the last game they haven't played very well though.

For the most part this group has let their play on the court do the talking. If it came from anyone but Baby it probably wouldn't bother me as much.

It is true, though. And I think it will give some other bench players confidence. We all know what baby is capable of, but he has been playing poorly lately....and Miami is not his matchup of choice IMO.

Glen has been around the playoffs enough to know when to keep his mouth shut, and I think even though he has been struggling he knows the bench has been struggling and he needed to say something to give them confidence. Hopefully it works.

You mean we are going lose the series because BBD made them angry with his comments? That means we would have won it if he had kept quiet? Never imagined it would be so simple. How stúpido can you be, BBD? 

[Yogi]

Good for Baby.  Never go into a fight afraid of your opponent.  Squash them in 4 games.  Go Celtics. 

[chambers]

More psychological warfare and I like it.
We have a decided advantage against the heat with our bench.
Big Baby hasn't been playing up to his standards lately and by saying this he's not only challenging the Heat bench, he's challenging himself, Jeff Green and Delonte to step up and crush these guys like they should.

He has to live up to his own standards and he's letting everyone know he's ready for the challenge.

Baby in a sackcloth Nooooooooo!


When Bird talked he did it to motivate his team, the fans or instill fear in the other team.
When Baby talks its because he lacks the discipline to keep his mouth shut.  Ask Amare.
If KG, or Pierce, Ray Allen, Doc or even little 'ol Rondo want to then maybe it has merit.

Red Auerbach was a master of this.  Don Nelson, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley all have a special skill.

Baby, come on.  Someone throw him a bathrobe and a towel.  The bathrobe to cover up his sackcloth, the towel to insert into his mouth.

Let your game do the talking, Baby!

I disagree, I think Glen Davis a year or two ago may have said this without reason, but from watching The Association and seeing him grow up emotionally, I think he is a different type of player.

He is the captain of the bench, if their is one, but he knows they have been struggling and I think he did this to give them some confidence and swag that they lack.

[GreenFaith1819]

I see no harm in this...he played well last game in NY, and I expect him and the remaining bench players to step it up.

If MIA is actually trying to use THIS as motivation then they are in bad shape.

They should have all the motivation in the world without worrying about what Boston players say.
