Is the Boston Celtics’ bench good enough for a title run?

What can we make of the Boston Celtics’ bench mob as we approach the final week ahead of the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline? Are they good enough to help Boston hang Banner 18, or does the team’s front office still have some work to do?

The so-called “Stay Ready Crew” does just that, but it also does not pack a ton of offensive firepower. But given their defensive capabilities, relatively few turnovers, and energy level, do they need to? Who is safe if there is a trade, and who might be headed to a new ball club? And what are the strengths and weaknesses of the players who are getting some floor time?

To try to find some answers to all the above, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast sat down with Boston’s bench beat writer Noa Dalzell, as the Celtics Blog reporter likes to refer to herself.
