All day Tuesday I was saying to myself "Doc needs to start Davis he just has too" though the reasoning was a bit flawed, I was telling myself this for the fact that everyone can remember who the "Ticket Stub" is and we have not seen him in awhile. It was about time to unearth Davis' alter ego. Unearth he did, 23 points 8 boards and a fire that showed the Garden faithful why they loved the "Ticket Stub" and why we needed to see him again.

KG out because of an elbow, to a guy we all would love to elbow anyway, had to sit in the clubhouse and watch what at one time was thought to be his protege start the game and go gang busters all over the Miami Heat. The game got so out of hand that I switched over to the Sox game cause a game at the Fens in APRIL was more exciting to watch than the beating the C's were doling out.

KG I am sure was smiling and maybe you will see him take Davis under his wing like he was two seasons ago. After showing that he has the talent and that playoff run last season was not as big as a fluke as most thought it was. Here is my only gripe with Davis and the "Ticket Stub". Why not bring it out all the time? Do you have to start the game to show what you are made of? Makes no sense to me, whether you are starting or coming off the bench the "Stub" should always be a part of his game.

Overall the C's got exactly what they needed out of Davis and whether we see the "Ticket Stub" on Friday in Miami when KG comes back or just the "Stub" Glen Davis was a HUGE (pun intended) reason the C's are not sitting at 2-0.

The Boston Celtics announced today that the club has re-signed forward Glen Davis to a contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. “Glen has been a big part of our success for the past two years and we are very excited to have him back,” said Danny Ainge, Celtics President of Basketball Operations. Davis, a 6’9”, 289 lbs, forward has spent two seasons with the Celtics and had a breakout 2008-09 season in which he averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. The former LSU Tiger continued his breakout campaign in the 2009 playoffs during which he averaged 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Davis made 16 starts during the 2008-09 regular season and averaged 12.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game. “Big Baby” scored a career-high 24 points against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 21, 2009. Davis also hit the biggest shot of his career to date when he nailed a game-winning jumper against the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to send the series back to Boston tied 2-2. During the First Round of the 2009 playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, Davis averaged 18.1 points and 6.7 rebounds.

The long horrible trip to New York is over and Adam & Timmy have plenty to talk about. Press conferences and curtain calls, neither of which brought any joy to Red Sox Nation. "Big" news for the Celtics as another favorite son stays home for now. Brady might have a new agent in Ari Gold (Timmy will explain) and the damaged goods that the Bruins have already inherited from north of the border. All that and the fantasy round up for another edition of Wicked Pissa Dude is here for your Monday night. Thanks for listening, subscribe if you haven't yet and tell your friends.

I am starting this post before the end of the game. I wasn't going to, because I just wanted to enjoy the game, but there are things I have to say before I forget them so here I go.

- I LOVE KG - There are many reasons to like the guy, but here is the one reason to love him, the Celts make a stop and he grabs the ball, hands it to Rajon and then head butts him and gives him a pep talk in the back court while Cleveland is crapping their pants...I absolutley LOVE that intensity.

- Am I seeing things or is Reggie Miller whoring himself out for Blackberry? Who is going to buy a Blackberry because Reggie Miller said so? Certainly not me. I wouldn't buy an ice cream sundae from Reggie Miller.

- Rajon is out of his mind tonight. Go ahead Rajon show them you're a force to be reckoned with.

- Big Baby is in the game, playing well and who doesn't like this kid? I mean you could hate the Celtics and still love Glen Davis...now if we could get Scal in there we'd be good...too bad he's in street clothes.

- I love me some Charles Barkley especially in those T-Mobile commercials, "hey hey hey, GET ME THEM SOCKS!!!"

- Am I the only one that thinks 19-30 from the free throw line is absolutley ABSURD?!?!?! In the good old days Larry would be shooting 93-94% from the free throw line. Now, in the playoffs, the Cavs are shooting 65%? That is a travesty. However, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Cleveland Cavaliers for sucking at the free throw line, so the Celtics lead sticks.

- I love the Dropkick's Ship It Up To Boston, but wasn't that the Red Sox song? Makes me wonder what it would look like if Big Baby were to do the jig to that song...something tells me it would be a little less graceful then when Pap did it and who would've thought that would be possible. The song is playing on the PA at the Gahden!!

- Lebron just pulled an obnoxious Reggie Miller type move. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

- We're only up six and Pierece just missed his first of two free throws...ARGH MISSED FREE THROWS, nothing pisses me off more then that. Pierce hit his second, but now we're only up by 5 as LJ gets two. Pierce just redeemed himself by knocking down two. I'll take it.

- Two steals in the backcourt for Cleveland? This is embarrasing. Lead could be four after D West hits his free throws. This is tiring. 45.5 left to go....91-87 C's.

- Oh hey, when we return from this commercial break it will be time for the Charles Schwabb Time To Talk...no, don't change the channel, you don't want to miss this...what's that? The Hills are on? As long as your watching it in hopes of seeing clips of Lauren's sex tape and not because you're interested in the drama...ok, back to the game.

- Here come the Celts inbounding from half court. HUGE hussle play by Ray Allen. The Cavs forced us to take a TERRIBLE shot, but RA ran it down and kept it alive. Kicks it to Pierce and now he'll shoot two. Makes both and we're up six.

Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths.

- 15.6 left to go - West drives the lane and gets fouled. Looked like a charge, but shocking they didn't get the call. Knocks 'em both down - 4 point game. Pierce will now go to the line - Back up six. Five second violation on the Cleveland inbounds and a foul. GAME OVER!!!

Final Score - 96-89

11 assists for Cleveland
25 assists for the C's
