    According to the Boston Herald, Celtics forwards Glen "Big Baby" Davis and Leon Powe went at it today in practice, fighting for a spot in the rotation, and things got heated:</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

    A seemingly innocuous workout today was spiced by a battle between Glen Davis and Leon Powe. The two were working in a drill after the regular session when Davis decided he&rsquo;d taken too many hits from the latter.</p>

    The rookie began yelling at Powe, who listened for a while then said he was willing to fight if that&rsquo;s what Davis, nursing a bloody nose, wanted.</p>

    &ldquo;That means they don&rsquo;t want to,&rdquo; said Doc Rivers, who was speaking at the other end of the court.</p>

    The matter was soon cooled, with Paul Pierce and others intervening.</p>

    Interestingly, neither Rivers nor Danny Ainge saw it as a big deal, and, in truth, such things are not uncommon among competitive teammates during the course of a season.</p>

    As the Celts prepared to fly to Toronto, Ainge laughed at the prospect of body slams at 30,000 feet.</p>

    &ldquo;No, none of that,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re fine already. It&rsquo;s over.&rdquo;</p>

    </div></p>

    It&rsquo;s great to see these two battling hard, and I&rsquo;m sure this won&rsquo;t turn into anything negative. I think Doc is going to stick to what he said, it will be a &ldquo;backup PF by committee&rdquo; type of deal. When we play teams with perimeter bigs like Jamison, Bosh, or Nowitzki - Scal will get the call. Leon will get the call when we play more athletic/smaller teams, such as Golden State, and Big Baby will get a chance when we need a big body to bang (ala vs. the Knicks).</p>

    For the record, I&rsquo;d put my money on Leon.</p>

    No he wouldn't. Leon would just flex, and Big Baby would pop up like popcorn.</p>

    Big Baby thinks he's tough because he got hit by a car in Italy and walked away from it. However Powe > Italian cars!</p>

    Powe's probably stronger and the better fighter, but one body-slam from Davis and Powe's in deep shit</p>
