BWA: A Second Unit to be Reckoned With

BOSTON – They’re highly-skilled. They’re selfless. And most of all, they’re tough as nails.

They are: Bench With Attitude.

Veteran forward Marcus Morris coined the BWA nickname Monday at Celtics Media Day in reference to himself and his fellow bold, Boston benchmen. During the short time between then and now, the moniker has spread like wildfire across Celtics Nation.

“They’re selling T-shirts, man. I need a couple dollars off that,” Morris quipped with a smile while addressing reporters Wednesday evening after completing Day 2 of training camp.

With all jokes aside, the Celtics' second unit could be downright scary this season, should the team go with the same starting five as it did on Opening Night last year.
