The Boston Celtics were flirting with falling into the dreaded 3-1 series hole until Doc Rivers let his subs play extended minutes in the fourth quarter. Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Nate Robinson combined for 30 points and five rebounds and led the Celtics fourth quarter rally. At one point Big Baby became so excited that he drooled on himself and the court.

ESPN’s Rachel Nichols asked Davis about his slobbering in the postgame press conference and he said it happened because he was in the moment. Or maybe it’s becasue he’s an ogre. I’m not clowning Davis. I’m just working with Nate Robinson’s “Donkey and Shrek” comparison.

I hate to break it to Nate but if they ever need a stunt double for Donkey the role is going to Chone Figgins.

Zach Randolph and Nate Robinson were imitating teenage girls on the Knicks sideline last night. The two had a disagreement during a timeout of last night’s Knicks-Wizards game, that ended with water and a towel being thrown. The New York Knicks hit rock bottom a long time ago, so players fighting during timeouts isn’t a new low.. In fact, I thought it was good to see that the NYK players still care about anything at this point in the season.
