Megan Woolhouse of THE BOSTON GLOBE writes, "Edward Mendonca of Fall River chanted for Glen "Big Baby" Davis until he was sweaty and plain hoarse.He might have been wearing a Paul Pierce jersey to yesterday's parade, but his heart and soul went out to the Celtics' bench mob, guys like Davis, Leon Powe, and James Posey. `The bench came out huge,' Mendonca said after Powe passed by in a duck boat. `Pierce and the Big Three get all the [publicity], but we're giving it up to . . . Powe, Baby, Posey. I can't even explain how much they meant to the Celtics this year.'"

One of these guys was going to "change the face of the franchise" and "turn us into a contender for years to come." I was no better than anybody else. I had the next 10 or so years of my life planned around watching Kevin Durant draped in green. I only half-jokingly told my ...
