Glen Davis: -21 plus/minus

[ballin]

Doc needs to stop playing this guy. He's KILLING us as a team.

He's literally the one player on our team that brings nothing to the table offensively or defensively, yet somehow he plays starters minutes. No surprise that he was -21 today, and he had the worst plus/minus for 2 of the 4 Knicks games, and was second worst behind Jeff Green in another.

When Davis goes in, our lead shrinks or we go deeper in the hole. There are almost no exceptions to this rule. He can't defend, score, pass, or rebound effectively. Literally below par in all areas that impact a basketball game (even below par compared to all bench players). I think people have been starting to realize it recently, but to those of us who have been paying attention his weaknesses have been obvious his entire career.

If Doc doesn't stop playing this clown, we're done for. Unfortunately, since DA made those fantastic trades for Krstic and Troy Murphy, we're almost forced to play him though I'm pretty sure having Krstic in would actually be an upgrade.

Please, please come back Shaq.

Ive always been a baby fan.

But get him out of the game. DOnt let him close the game.

he was the reason all the weakside defense broke down. and he didnt get any offensive boards

what happened to animal drooling big baby?

someone needs to get him a pacifier

[Change]

Late on rotations all game long. But I thought he was good defensively against Bosh. For Big Baby to excel, he must play with a good Center. That way he isn't asked to do a lot. Otherwise he is a liability.

Like you said, Please come back Shaq.

"Those of us who have been paying attention"?

Or "Those of us who focus on his weaknesses"?

Aside from the fact that +/- is an empty stat without any value, the pure thought that our HoF-laden team gets "destroyed" from within by a single guy who played great ball in the first 50 games of the season sounds pretty ridiculous, don´t you think?
Not to mention that the people in charge in the Celtics organization are completely unaware of this "obvious fact", and play him heavy minutes regardless.

What are they thinking, huh?

Glen Davis played horrific as a weakside defender. He stood their flatfooted when lebron went up for an alley oop, and was way late wen rondo was fronting wade.
Not to mention he did squat on the offensive end, both points and rebs wise.
terrible outing from him

[gar]

Missing layups that should have been dunks. How many times have ewe seen that. Only problem is Jeff Green may have the perfect NBA build; but BBD is a better athlete. He has better footwork and plays more in control. Green may be a slightly better passer; but right now not sure you can move Green to the 4 although Doc did play Green with the starters at the end of this Game vs. the heat.

Do you think he played well out there?

[PseudoElite]

Please get rid of BBD.

God why didn't we trade him at the deadline.

He's a power forward who can't rebound, dunk, or block because he's undersized, can't dribble, can barely finish at the rim against a taller defender, and shoots 35% from the perimiter.

What a waste of cap space.

[TerreHaute]

He certainly isn't the player he was the first half of the season. Is he hurt or just worn down from playing so many minutes at his size? There seems to be no energy at all.

[LilRip]

i missed the game but just looking at the box score, MIAMI BENCH KILLED US!!!

[Edgar]

Its not what he did
its what hes doing

Is it new Job? i dont think so
its just new approach


Glen played horrible last 15 games or so of season
then precarious first round
and took it from there now or worst
not to mention Mia isnt his best matchup

Not energy, just pure laziness. I can't remeber the last time Ive seen get dirty down low and bang around and get and 1 or put backs. Now he just sits around the perimeter and shoots mid range jumpers that go in 30% of the time.

You may be right. There does seem to be an obvious discrepency in his lift, quickness, and intensity for whatever reason.

[OsirusCeltics]

Yeah, i was once a lover of Baby, but now its turned to annoyance. Doc should bench him and give Jeff more time

I'm not gonna lie he did defend Bosh pretty good. Well, everyone defends Bosh pretty well haha

[JadeBlack]

Big Baby over weight and outa shape can't move on the floor...He works his mouth more than he works on the floor.
