I really agree.  Green is going to have to do something pretty wrong to not have this happen.  Doc has routinely gone even smaller than this to close out games with the likes of Posey and Pietrus.  While we can debate how much of a "4" Green is, he's certainly more of a 4 than Posey and Pietrus were/are.

Defense:
Mil/Collins
KG
PP
AB
Rondo

Offense/Shooting:
KG
Bass/Green
PP
Lee
Terry
SPEEEED:
Wilcox
Green
PP
Lee/AB
Rondo

also looking forward to a KG, Sully, Green, Lee, Terry combo (could be fun to watch Terry run an inside outside game with KG like he did with nowitzki, with Lee and Green spacing the floor and Sully banging and getting rebounds)

While Rondo is still our best offensive player he tends to hold the ball a little too long.  Just for kicks I'd love to see this lineup:

Jet
PP
Green
Bass
KG

Everyone can shoot and defend, PP and Green can post up and if they get double teamed anyone else on the team can hit the wide open J with high efficiency.

It honestly would not surprise me if we see Lee at the 3 and Green at the 4 for the all-fast break group. We need Paul to have stamina for the end of the game.

i think it depends on the situation and what we need at that time, but overall i would say:

rondo
jet
pierce
bass
kg

**green might take bass' spot, but i need to see some consistency from him.  i wasn't impressed with his short time playing with the celts before his heart issue sidelined him
