Bass Adjusting Well in Boston While Baby Struggles in Orlando

I really like the Baby/Bass trade. Too bad the David West trade fell apart (and Jeff Green got lost for the year). I think the additions of West and Bass to last year's squad would have been enough to get us back into the Finals. I'm not sure we have enough offensive firepower as the roster currently stands. Pierce can't play 48 minutes a game.  Regardless, watching Bass is still much more enjoyable than watching Baby. The one thing I would like to see Bass steal from Baby's game is the willingness to take charges. I think that could take Bass to another level. He has the offense. Just needs to become a solid 2 way player.

In Orlando, it sounds like Glen Davis is already giving his new coach headaches.

"He's not playing well, and I'm not sure his mind's on the right things right now," Van Gundy said. "What we need him to do is defend, which he has done pretty well, rebound better than he's rebounding and move the ball and set screens."

So basically Baby needs to stop being a ball hog and caring only about himself. Where have we seen this before?
