The final two or three are fun to talk about but, aren't going to get any minutes. Honestly, how many minutes are Dooling and Sullinger going to get, let alone the final couple of guys on the bench?

The Celtics bench is shaping up to be one of the best in the league. Danny got depth this year...he sure as hell didn't last year.

I will leave it to the experts to line up potential minutes. I will only say Jason Terry, Jeff Green, Chris Wilcox and Courtney Lee will DOUBLE last year's bench production. I don't see the Heat or the Bulls having a lot of answers here. I see a vastly more balanced minute distribution leading to strong fourth quarters something the Celtics didn't have last year.

Go bench.
