With news that Jermaine O'Neal will miss the remainder of the season as he preps for left wrist surgery, the Celtics have now lost two of their top four dunkers in less than a week's span. A look at the team's dunk leaderboard through 45 games (with help from the team's game notes):

Brandon Bass 33; Kevin Garnett 27 ; Chris Wilcox 24; Jermaine O’Neal 19; Paul Pierce 13; JaJuan Johnson 11; Avery Bradley 8; Mickael Pietrus 7; Greg Stiemsma 5; Marquis Daniels 4; Ray Allen 2; Sasha Pavlovic 1; Keyon Dooling 1. (Still waiting for an official jam: Rajon Rondo, E'Twaun Moore).

Total dunks: Celtics 155, Opponents 156.
