I usually pride myself in not being an irrational homer but who has a better bench? I understand this is one game and I'm not just basing it off this game but am I crazy? This is how the bench should play

The bench looks good tonight.  Barbosa was a heck of a pickup... he has been our best bench player so far this year.

I think they'll start to jell as the year goes on, and we'll get this kind of performance pretty often.  Lee, especially, is a lot better than he has been playing.

Ya I'm not gonna lie, barbosa was an afterthought in my mind. End of the bench depth but he's been terrific.

I also feel bad for lee, I've been a fan since his Orlando days and the guy is just a solid basketball player but he's still searching for his role

Same here about Barbosa.  I figured that he'd get some spot minutes early and then would ride the bench when Bradley comes back.  So far, it looks like he has a role on this team - we don't have many players who will attack the basket like he does.

Lee is a good on-ball defender, but it looks like he gets caught wandering off the ball sometimes.  I don't really have a problem with him on offense, though.  The numbers aren't there, but he's taking good shots.  They'll start to fall. 

Looks like Jeff Green is starting to hit his stride, too.

I think our bench guys are finally starting to get in a rhythm and get comfortable with the system, and its a huge boost...and if KG/Pierce/Rondo can get appropriate rest it should do wonders for them being aggressive in the 4th quarter

even with Terry in the starting lineup, we have guys who can explode for double digits any single night.

The Celtics bench is good, but they still lack quality big men off the bench. For example, I'd take tonight's opponent's bench bigs over Sully and Wilcox any day.

The C's bench strength is on the wings. Still this is the best C's bench in a long time.

??????  We have way more players this year who can attack the rack than we did last year. We have pierce, rondo, barbosa, green and even KG attacked it tonight. Bass has before also. Bradley can also. KG did good when he posted up. he has not been good the last two games on the jumpers. This team is progressing though. Wilcox, Barbosa and Green played great. Guys are finding their roles. We just need to play better defense.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

 getting the W with kg and pierce playing 30 or so mins was big. This win was very Spurs like, and that leads to success

  • GOT IT!!!
It's nice to have a bench that can extend leads instead of lose them for once. Clippers probably have the best bench in the league but the C's have a chance to be right up there.

I'm pretty sure anybody would trade their back up bigs for Utahs back up bigs lol I can't think of a team that has better bigs than Favors and Kanter coming off the bench.

I think Wilcox is a fine back up big. I have no problem with our big depth. Of course another 6'9"+ guy wouldn't hurt
