I thought this poll would be interesting, just to have fun and to know which bencher is considered as the best energizer by the fans! Who is the best at cheering for his teammates, screaming when the opponent is shooting a wide open 3, applauding the good plays?

My vote goes to Mikki Moore.When he is on the bench watching his teammates playing, Mikki is (almost?) always up, cheering and applauding with enthusiasm. The Memphis game just confirmed my impression, considering that his energy is even greater on the floor : just after he scored two baskets, he screamed and pumped his chest in triumph. It was certainly "too much" for two baskets but it reminded me of KG's intensity and I love such passion for the game.  8)

Moore will definitely be in contention. I like him already, however House has been that for almost two years now so I give him my vote for consistency. He ALWAYS brings it no matter what the scenario, from the bench or floor.

I agree Eddie is the guy in the huddle who would hype up the team. I think he is very intense when he is on the bench or out on the court he brings a lot of energy.

I agree with the vote to Eddie House. His energy while on the bench, even while being buried in the rotation thanks to Sam Cassell, was nothing short of inspiring. And combine him with his son and you have a deadly combination cheering on the bench,

Eddie, when he has it going, shot wise, is the best.

Eddie, when he hits a three the garden goes INSANE.

although they go insane for Billy when he jams it, but that doesn't happen as much  :(

JR, this dude is bananas. He is a one man show entertaining everyone. But my loyalty is with Eddie House, he's been doing it all his career.

Eddie has been great, waving towels when opponents shoot 3s, he chestbump guys and jump around like a hooligan. Love his energy, love Powe too, taking charges, and dunking the ball like the rim's his worst enemy.
Anything is possible!!!

there are a few possibilities if you ask me:

-leon does it with his no-nonsense play
-eddie does it sometimes with his play, but is always intense
-jr is very energetic and really supports the team from the bench



in the end....IF he gets true to form, the answer will be marbury.

I went with Leon, but (and this is a cop out) it really depends on what is needed at the moment the individual player checks in.  Baby has given a defensive spark on more than one occassion, but think about Leons shot in the arm in the playoffs a few key times last year.  I also agree that Eddie's shot is often times the biggest boost we get.  Again, I'm torn people.   ;)

I had to go with Eddie.  I love Leon, and he is the most important bench player right now, but Eddie has the ability to change the pace of the game in a way no other player does, and he just gets so amped and can get very scrappy as well.
I guess I vote:
1. Eddie.
1a. Leon.
Celtics fan for life.

It's really a toss up between Eddie and Leon. When Eddie nails a few 3's to get the lead back he starts pumping his fist and screaming at the other team and there bench. Powe pumps everyone up when he slams it home and gets the foul or when he takes charges. Stephon might even step it up in the energizer category soon, along with Mikki and Walker.
True Celtic = Leon Powe

Bring back the show!!!!
