GLEN DAVIS 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD?

"Big Baby" Glen Davis has done it all for the Celtics this year.  He leads the NBA in charges taken and leads the team off the bench in points and rebounds. Baby averages 12.1 points per game and 5.8 rebounds in just about 30 minutes a game for the green. He has many intangibles that most individuals off the bench do not have.  Baby can play the three, four, or five and that is because he uses his body so well around the basket it does not matter the match up he has.  He is an animal around the hoop and has developed a great 18-footer that makes him dangerous.  He is shooting 48.1% from the field.  The Celtics would be lost without Baby especially due to the loss of Delonte West and Nate Robinson having to move into the starting role with Rondo still nursing injuries.  Baby deserves at least an honorable mention in this discussion because I do not think there has been anyone better off the bench this year.  Jamal Crawford or Jason Terry possibly, but the Celtics sit at 24-5 and are in cruise control.  It is not because of the "Big Three" this team is doing so well, it is because of the entire team effort that Doc stresses every night and Big Baby has everything to do with it.  He has my vote.
