Magic fan angry at 'raging' Davis Posted by Chad Finn, Globe Staff May 11, 2009 02:35 PM
Orlando Magic fan Ernest Provetti, whose son, 12-year-old Nicholas, was nearly run over by Glen Davis after his buzzer-beating, game-winning shot last night, is demanding an apology from the Celtics forward.

What was the kid doing on the bench that close to the action?
Fans in floor seats sometimes get a little too involved, especially in the NBA.
As soon as I saw Davis push that kid, I knew that it was going to be trouble. Somebody should have suggested to Davis that he immediately go over to the kid and apologize, and then offer him some kind of gift.
Ernie, I hope little Nicky wasn’t injured in any way. Our children are so precious, aren’t they Ernie? Perhaps you could see a grief councilor or a post stress disorder specialist.
One last thing Ernie: go to hell. Take your son with you.
He probably didn’t realize he brushed the kid.
If the kid had been in his seat he wouldnt have gotten pushed. Actually ,from what I saw he was lucky he didnt get knocked on his butt.
Yes, I agree with that. He was so excited that he didn’t even see that the person he shoved was a kid. But somebody from the Celtics organization was surely watching the video feed and would have seen that it was a kid. That’s the sort of ‘somebody’ I was referring to in my post.
I agree. Kids and petite ladies need to stay away from floor seats.
