Celtics need to shore up their bench

It became obvious in the Celtics 122-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers last night. Boston's bench was outscored by the opponent's subs 47-19. Marcus Smart was out with an eye infection - Jaylen Brown fouled out, and Gordon Hayward suffered a game-ending facial injury. That's all that Indiana needed to take the game away from Boston.

The fact that he would fit seamlessly into any NBA lineup makes him a desired commodity. With John Wall out for the season, Washington is going nowhere. They will certainly be taking calls on the long-range sharpshooter, and the Celtics Danny Ainge will almost certainly be on the phone. Wizards Davis Bertans is a 6'10" long-distance sharpshooter .
