A bench lineup of?:

PG- Kyrptonate/ Marquis Daniels

SG- Michael Finley/ Tony Allen/ Marquis Daniels

SF- Marquis Daniels/ Tony Allen/ Scalabrine/ Michael Finley

PF- Glen Davis/ Sheldon Willams/ Scalabrine

C- Rasheed Wallace

None of this Finley stuff is going to matter if the starters keep mailing it in and if Wallace keeps firing up bricks and reaching in on driving opponents instead of getting in their way.

WOW! Just what the Celts are lacking, Another Old Body!-(LOL)-Does Wyc have stock in Geritol?-(LOL)-MD.
