Kanter leads NBA bench players at 7.4 rebounds per game.

That's pretty great. When's the last time we had someone that led the league in any kind of rebounding?
Who's the last good one we've had?  Bird? 
I can't think of many.
Perkins, Big Al, Sullinger, and KG.

Forgot about Big Al. He's probably the last guy to average 10+ rpg for us (just looked it up, he's the only guy to do it for us in the past 20 years)
I'm bitter.

KG!

Best guy I can remember who was really a rebounder by trade was Paul Silas.

Sometimes it feels like Hayward is the only guy who consistently makes good decisions on this team.

Scal and Kyle are just awful on these "most _____ thus decade" questions. In almost every case the guy who played the most years is gonna win it

Get Theis out of there.
Why? Because while switched onto a SF that SF scored? Theis has been pretty good so far.

No chance
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Really? I think a lot of guys usually make good decisions on this team. Tatum, Brown, Kemba, Wanamaker, Williams, Smart, Hayward. I mean the team is what 4th in offense?

Even still, Bradley and Sullinger being the Points and Rebound leaders for the Celtics is insane to me.

Sully leads the Celtics this decade in rebounding.

6 years of rotation minutes (4 years for Sullinger but he was a legit rebounder and no other big lasted longer) will do that for you whenever the team rebuilt right smack in the middle of the decade.

Silas was 12.3 rebounds a game - granted that was pre 3 pt shot, but he's the best rebounder they ever had.

I don't agree, but if that's true it's pretty impressive that they are 22-8.

Our big man options and most performances have not helped.
