Glen Davis can act. Why was Brad Miller doing whatever he was doing anyway though? Seems he was asking for trouble. Regardless, this wasn't the only Celtics flop this game.

Simple

His eyes were closed because he got whacked across the face, he had his hands up, he moved forward, ran into Baby’s shoulder, and Baby whiplashed back like he got popped in the face. Not much at all really happened.

Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.

I still can't believe they didn't call Davis for a flagrant there.

i could see why not.

he got mostly ball and was clearly going for the ball, and while he hit him in the head, it was dumb but not intentionally that hard.

just glad they got the call right on brad and didn’t throw him out. though most people would probably think it was better for the team if he had been… :P

I see it as he took the opportunity to smack him in the face while making it look like he was sorta, kinda going for the ball.

That wasn't Brad Miller

That was B-Rad. He’s know for this shit. Remember all the elbow hooks where he tugs his man over his back?

He could have thrown the right arm and flailed it into Davis’ face, but he actually wound his hand up and then brought it back into Davis. I was surprised the refs took away the ejection since Miller was obviously trying to throw an arm or elbow into Davis.

12/31: Fire Vinny Del Negro.

I don't know...

…I actually think he caught himself and kinda pulled back from any swing into Davis. His half-swing morphed into a girly shove. It was pretty weird actually. It was like in mid-motion he realized what he was getting ready to do and stopped himself.

I tend to agree

He seemed to wind up for a good retaliation blow, then better senses prevailed in his head and he pulled it back in at the last second (resulting in a really girly type of motion). Baby obviously flopped a bit, although he maybe expected more of an impact when he saw Brad wind up — so maybe part of the reaction was to absorb a blow, and not total acting.

Anyway, I am still surprised that Brad remained in the game. Maybe the refs pittied his girly punching form and allowed him to stay in?
