Glen Davis: ‘I can start in this league’ 05.12.11 at 12:35 am ET
By

MIAMI — As the Celtics head to a summer with a little more certainty than last year, one of their biggest decisions will be made on Glen Davis who will be an unrestricted free agent. Davis didn’t help himself with a poor posteason, but he said again that he feels like he can be a starter.

“You can’t just base it on just the playoffs,” Davis said. “My whole body of work I feel like I can play in this league, I can start in this league. My second year when Kevin [Garnett] went down, my third year playing in the playoffs and this year was my best year. I just didn’t play well in the playoffs this year. Things happen like that. I don’t think this playoffs is going to hurt me as much.”

Asked whether he wanted to stay with the Celtics, Davis said, “I have given thought about that. I love Boston and [hope] I can stay. But you never know, like [Kendrick Perkins] situation. He was here for eight years, he wanted to stay but it just might not work my way. It’s just how it is.”

Asked what he wanted out of his career, Davis said, “I want to be a player in this league. I feel like I have a lot more to offer. I want to show the world my talent.”

    Hey Baby – here’s a tip. Stop talking to the press and get into the freaking gym. Lose 30 pounds and come back with even a tiny amount of athleticism and leaping ability. THEN you might have a future in this league. Otherwise, you are going to continue to get eaten alive by guys who are 4-7 inches taller than you.

    Where was your heart in these playoffs. You say you are a starter but you clearly did not give your best effort when the team needed you most. KG is way older than you and played his ass off. I thought you were going to become a star this year, thought you would be great. Who cares one hoot about what you do during the regular season, it is about the playoffs and you blew it for the others

    Big Baby,
    When your coach puts you in a crunch time situation. It’s time to deliver and step up. To show the league that your made of. Instead of complaining and going with your past history of what you accomplished. You are only good as now not what you done in the past. I agreed with John that your time would of been in the playoffs and show everyone on primetime that your worthy to be a starter. You should be worried if Boston should keep you after your poor performance against Miami. Do yourself a favor get in shape and work your but off.

    Are you freaking kidding me? What color is the sky in your world you fat sack of fecal matter? Give me a break. “I know I sucked and couldn’t even hit the rim with my jump shots, and I can’t dunk, I have no lateral movement to get in front of the guy I’m guarding, and I can’t dunk because I have a zero inch vert, but I am a starter in this league. I hate guys like this. Nice glasses, wack clothes, it’s more important for this guy to have a camera and a mic in his face after the game, no matter what. What were you saying after one of your many airballs Baby? Nada. If the Celts cut you today—-I mean straight cut you—-I have trouble finding any team that would pick you up for more than the league minimum. And that’s too much. You are awful, and delusional. No need. Have a nice career in anywhere but here you fat pantload.

    You can start? For who? Not for anyone seriously challenging for the title. Come on,knock it off already!

    I think his knee is the problem. I would like to see him and J Green start and KG and P2 can come off the bench. Try this til the all-star break and see how it goes. GOT TO MIX THINGS UP !!!!

    Earlier in the season I started to think baby could be their up and coming power forward. Now I don’t see him as a good fit for their future. Maybe a starter on a team like Cleveland. He is undersized, cannot stick d, and I can’t stand when he tries to go one on one. I would let him go and let J. Green play alot more mins next season as he has way more talent. Baby stinks and I would be so happy not to see him in green next year. Hope Ainge sees things the same way.
