The image at right is Glen "Big Baby" Davis playing in the preseason between LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden (before Oden's old man knees gave out on him). Davis stepped into a starting role for Kendrick Perkins (bed attack) and had 16 points and 9 rebounds in yet another Celtics win, which improved the NBA's top team to 18-2 (!!!) overall.I think the most surprising part about the Infant's stat line was that, despite being a rookie with a 6'9", 290-ish pound frame, he had no trouble knocking down 10 of 10 free throws. And while the obvious catalyst for the win was, as always, superstar Brian Scalabrine (2 points, 1 steal), Glen Davis gets some kudos too. Hey, we can't all be red-headed basketballing wunderkinds.
Wait: So, if Perk is a beast, what does that make Glen Davis? Yeti? Chupacabra? Nessie?
Next up for the Celtics: Chairman Yi and the Bucks, Friday night at home.
