I love this “Good job. Good Effort” kid. The Miami Heat lost last night’s Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and after the game, the crowd went mostly silent. Except for one young fan cheering for his team. His exhortations echo through the tunnel as Miami goes into the locker room to think about what they’ve done. His passion is charming and his parents should be proud for raising a good sport. That said, I really hope the Garden chants Good Job Good Effort incessantly during Game 6. Incidentally, Bill Simmons used to watch the Celtics from seats above the tunnel at the Boston Garden.

What did Big Baby Davis do during the lockout?
Knitting and model making of course.
Today’s Big Baby Davis Quotation
I just want to make sure I’m Glen Davis wherever I’m at. I think I can be Glen Davis wherever. It just depends on the system, the people around the system, who’s going to let Glen Davis be Glen Davis, not make Glen Davis something they think he should be.
From a column by the terrible Dan Shaughnessy.

Big Baby Davis Rap Video
If you thought I wouldn’t post a video Big Baby Davis made of himself dancing to a rap song, you don’t know me at all. AT ALL.
Thanks, Jake!
Sheed Just Wants to Talk
Didn’t see a whole lot of crazy from Rasheed Wallace this year. He actually didn’t do much of anything until the playoffs. After they were over, he wanted to talk to referee Joey Crawford. Anyone know more?
Kevin Garnett’s Half-Court Shot
More than half-court, actually. Too bad iit didn’t count.
Succes is a Choice
Why choose failure? Last week’s mention of Rick Pitino made me giggle about this quotation and then I couldn’t help but post it:
Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans. Kevin McHale is not walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they’re going to be gray and old. What we are is young, exciting, hard-working, and we’re going to improve. People don’t realize that, and as soon as they realize those three guys are not coming through that door, the better this town will be for all of us because there are young guys in that (locker) room playing their asses off. I wish we had $90 million under the salary cap. I wish we could buy the world. We can’t; the only thing we can do is work hard, and all the negativity that’s in this town sucks. I’ve been around when Jim Rice was booed. I’ve been around when Yastrzemski was booed. And it stinks. It makes the greatest town, greatest city in the world, lousy. The only thing that will turn this around is being upbeat and positive like we are in that locker room… and if you think I’m going to succumb to negativity, you’re wrong. You’ve got the wrong guy leading this team.
