More Well Deserved Praise For Brandon Bass

by Jeff Clark on Jan 31, 2012 6:32 AM EST in Boston Celtics News & Links

If there's one thing that this team needed it was a consistent player off the bench that knows their role and plays it well. Done, done, and done.

Green Street " Irish Coffee: It’s not the Celtics bench’s fault

Traded for the ever inconsistent Glen Davis, Bass, especially, has been as steady as they come. Playing all 19 games (4 starts), he has averaged 11.9 points and 6.3 rebounds, reaching double figures 15 times and recording two double-doubles. Bass has played four more games and averages 6.3 more minutes and than O’Neal.

Added Garnett: "Brandon’s efficient. He knows his game. He doesn’t come out of that. He’s playing with a group of guys who are rooting for him. I don’t think he’s ever been rooted for us like this. We praise each other, but at the same time we push each other, and he’s no different from that. He’s falling right into being a Celtic."

I really like Brandon Bass. He's not a star, but he is the kind of grinder that every team needs.

The article goes on to highlight every player on the bench.

He was also some sort of a fan favorite in his short stay in Dallas.

He is really the anti-Glen Davis.

Knows his role, actually has a very good midrange jumper, a little clueless when it comes to team defense (Davis’ one actual strength), and is in great shape.

Good job, Danny.

Danny the pick pocket

He picked Otis Smith’s pocket on that one. Otis Smith moves to the Kevin McHale-Isiah Thomas GM bus-for-bad-dealmakers. Bass is a player.

And while Keyon Dooling has been hurt, guess who else isn’t playing. Yup…D West. Danny made the right move there. And if Dooling is a good locker room guy then it was a big upgrade.

Danny and Doc are using Bradley and Moore well too. Both still have holes in their game but both are NBA players. Wilcox still hasn’t shown in green the player he was against us but hopefully it is coming.

Stiemsma…great value. Got our money back already on him. Johnson is the question mark. He looks mechanical and slow in his few minutes.
