Reliving the Past: Big Baby Gets Knocked Out



This is a mixture of funny and awful.

It is pretty much impossible not to laugh when you see Baby fall into the arms of ref Joey Crawford (0:28) with that look in his eyes like he just went 10 rounds with Tyson.

But its also pretty sketchy to watch because there is no way in hell he should have even got off the ground, never mind trying to sprint back on defense just 10 seconds after getting pummeled in the face.

I remember watching this thinking "damn, Big Baby is one tough dude" immediately followed by "wow, Big Baby has no idea where he is right now."

Bottom line, the guy was limbless. Candice Parker would have been a bigger presence at that point, and unlike some NFL teams, the Celts were smart enough to yank Davis from the court for the rest of the series.

Am I alone in thinking that this is still 10x funnier because it is Big Baby? If it were Pierce I would have been close to tears like I was in '08 when he got carried off the court before coming back like the ghost of Willis Reed.
