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 Celts are on the road tonight for game 3 of the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and we all know what happened last time they went on the road in the playoffs, the fell asleep. Literally they fell asleep and almost got beaten by the Atlanta Hawks, yes THE ATLANTA HAWKS.

But my friends, you and I both know that the Celtics are not playing the Atlanta Hawks, they are playing King James (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn) and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This doesn't just scare me, I just peed a little bit in my pants. I know I know, we shut them down in the Bean, but are we really going to be able to do it in the Cleve? I don't really know.

I had a conversation with one of my friends this afternoon and he started telling me that it is possible for the Celtics to win it all and never win a road game. Hahaha...this is exactly what I would expect a Boston fan to say about this. It's an optimistic thing to say, but it's also got a tinge of pessimism too. Like we're optimistic that we're going to win it, but pessimistic that it's going to take 28 games to do it.

I am writing tonight to tell you that we will win a road game. We will win more then one road game on our way to banner #17. I think Cleveland will win tonight and we will take Game #4. There I said it.

Now I am off to put on my ratty old LB tshirt and cross my nuts and hope we win tonight!!

GO CELTS!!!
